  • PRE-ORDER: The Astrology of Healing: Unlocking Our Sacred Wounds with the Wisdom of the Stars

    Nada Yousif

    Sold out

    PRE-ORDER. ON SALE DATE: January 6, 2026

    The Astrology of Healing offers a spiritual map quest to our unfolding, a way to navigate tough times, knowing they will end and shift just as the planets do above us. Our ability to speak with the symbolism of the stars gives us the keys to unlock our full potential.

    There is a magical moment when you see your trauma embedded within your own birth chart. It's a come to God moment. When you realize the wounds you endured in your life were already written in the archetypal signature at the time you took your first breath. It was already there. Waiting for you to live through it, to alchemize into something more, because everything really does happen for a reason. Our most impactful events in our lives are packed into our birth charts.

    In The Astrology of Healing, author Nada Yousif shares her knowledge of the stars and how they impact the most significant events of our lives. She takes a scholarly approach, tying in history with astrological placements for a macro view of the world. But she also invites the reader to examine their own life events, traumas, and accomplishments through specific evaluations of birth charts and what each placement means.

    Astrology not only shows us all of our core wounds, but it gives context to why we need them and how we can work with them in this lifetime. It's alchemy at it's finest. Astrology gives our wounds the map to the integration of our special healing elixir that we are meant to offer back to the world around us. As within, so without… The Astrology of Healing says, “Not only was this meant to happen, but here's why.” That alone heals at a deeper level.

    Throughout the pages of this book, Yousif examines the charts of famous figures, both historical and modern and breaks down the events of their lives to show how astrology affects us all. The author also weaves in her personal story and shares how astrology changed her life. Then, she provides guidance to the reader, so they can use astrology to unlock their full potential, use the gifts they've been given, and heal the meaningful wounds within so they can fulfill their highest destinies.

    Astrology is like an ancient language. Once we remember this ancient language, we can begin to decipher what our own charts are trying to teach us. We can come to understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ to use these lessons and life experiences for our spiritual evolution. It’s an opportunity to shine the light on our innermost selves. Seeing our birth charts for the first time is like turning on a flashlight in a dark hidden room that’s been locked up our entire life. Suddenly we can see everything, each one of our traumas show up in a symbolic, energetic signature… our ‘Natal Promise’. It’s a worldview-changing moment for most, and gives credibility to the saying, “Everything happens for a reason." Our power is truly written in the stars.

  • Edmonia: A Novel of a Boundary-Breaking American Sculptress cover image

    Brianne Baker

    Sold out

    PRE-ORDER: On Sale: April 28, 2026

    For readers of Vanessa Miller, Sheila Williams, Victoria Christopher Murray and Tracy Chevalier, the story of an unconventional woman who overcame adversity to create enduring tributes in stone to her race and times. The life of pioneering Black Neoclassical sculptor Edmonia Lewis – from the Civil War-era Midwest to Boston’s abolitionist circles, to Rome’s expatriate community – is resurrected in this stunning debut biographical novel.

    “I plan to be a sculptor, to memorialize forever the great men and women of my race, and those who have fought for our cause.”

    At the age of 8, orphaned, precocious Wildfire seems fated to a life of toil selling her handmade crafts to Niagara Falls tourists alongside her Ojibwe aunts. But Wildfire’s older half-brother, Samuel, has been making other plans for his gifted sibling. Soon, she is set on a new trajectory—and with it comes her birth name, Edmonia, and a revelation about her true origins.

    Ensconced at the home of a trusted benefactor while Samuel makes his fortune in California, Edmonia flourishes—despite her abhorrence for etiquette lessons. Privately nurturing artistic ambitions, she advances through the abolitionist’s prep school and lands at Oberlin College. But at Oberlin lies a devastating trap: Edmonia is accused of poisoning, nearly fatally, two friends, with tainted wine.

    What ensues is a headline-making trial, a vicious attack by a white mob—and a bold journey that will lead Edmonia from a crucial introduction in Boston to a vibrant community of celebrated expatriate women artists in Rome, and encounters with such distinguished figures as President Ulysses S. Grant, Pope Pius IX, and Frederick Douglass.

    Still, Edmonia’s success is plagued by stinging critiques, potent racism, and haunting self-doubt. She must decide, too, whether to abandon her romantic entanglements, or devote herself to bringing to life her visions of beauty and justice—and hopefully, forge her place in a rapidly changing world.

  • The Quiet Ear: An Investigation of Missing Sound: A Memoir cover image

    Raymond Antrobus

    $29.00

    A groundbreaking exploration of deafness by a young award-winning poet—a memoir, a cultural history, and a call to action

    “Expansive, generous, and massively tender.”—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There’s Always This Year

    “Beautifully complicates and expands our understanding of what deafness is . . . a book that changed how I will move through the world.”—Clint Smith, author of How the Word Is Passed

    I live with the aid of deafness. Like poetry, it has given me an art, a history, a culture and a tradition to live through. This book charts that art in the hopes of offering a map, a mirror, a small part of a larger story.

    Raymond Antrobus was first diagnosed as deaf at the age of six. He discovered he had missing sounds—bird calls, whistles, kettles, alarms. Teachers thought he was slow and disruptive, some didn’t believe he was deaf at all.

    The Quiet Ear tells the story of Antrobus’s upbringing at the intersection of race and disability. Growing up in East London to an English mother and Jamaican father, educated in both mainstream and deaf schooling systems, Antrobus explores the shame of miscommunication, the joy of finding community, and shines a light on deaf education.

    Throughout, Antrobus sets his story alongside those of other D/deaf cultural figures—from painters to silent film stars, poets to performers—the inspiring models of D/deaf creativity he did not have growing up. A singular, remarkable work, The Quiet Ear is a much-needed examination of deafness in the world.

    Belinda has competition, though. She and countless other students are up against hair-raising mobs, secret rooms, and saboteurs, facing challenge after challenge as they battle their way through Hero Crowe’s unusual “lessons.” While some students think working together is the best strategy, others prefer the whole lone wolf thing. After all, Hero said there could be only one victor.

    Navigating new friendships, rivalries, and plenty of danger, Belinda discovers just what it takes to be a hero. But in the end, will she win the prize and become the school’s one true hero?

    “Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it’s like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil.” —New York Times Book Review

    TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF THE YEAR

    Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this brilliantly subversive, feminist psychological horror novel about the making of a female serial killer from a Korean-American perspective.

    Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing.

    In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Mouthwatering blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescendingly toward Ji-won and her sister, as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. But George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.

    No matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.

    "I was enticed from the first line and entertained throughout. The Eyes Are the Best Part is a quirky, engaging read."—Oyinkan Brainthwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer

  • PRE-ORDER: Loving the Dying

    by Len Verwey

    $17.95

    PRE-ORDER: September 1, 2023

    Loving the Dying is a collection of poems on life’s different stages. Set against the backdrop of a conflicted society, Len Verwey looks at a person’s life from youth and growing up to aging and dying, considering what the ineluctable reality of death might imply about how we should think about our lives.

    These are poems of uncertainty rather than certainty. The more overtly biographical ones end with as many questions as they start with, and there is often sympathy for the outsider or the marginalized voice. Varying in tone and complexity, Verwey’s poems focus on the tension between escapism and reality, truth and delusion (for individuals and societies), and the need to face death if we are to care for the aged and learn to understand the process of dying.

    As in his first poetry collection, In a Language That You Know, Verwey continues his effort to understand the successes and failures of the South African post-apartheid journey, with both humor and some despair.

  • PRE-ORDER: Kandis Williams

    by Kandis Wiliams

    $35.00

    Pre-order: on Sale September 27, 2022

    The inaugural volume in a new series of books, Kandis Williams documents the Los Angeles–based artist’s exhibition A Line. Interrogating issues of race, nationalism, authority, and eroticism, her topical work is made across collage, sculpture, and video.

    Williams draws on her background in dramaturgy to envision a space that accommodates the biopolitical economies that inform how movement might be read. Looking at the interconnections between popular culture and myth, she relates in her work anatomy, regions of Black diaspora, and communication and obfuscation. Williams’s body of work shapes an alternative language that examines how Black moving bodies are regarded. Williams continues to make visible the inexpressible violence Black bodies have been subjected to in dance and beyond.

    Featuring contributions by the curator of 52 Walker—a David Zwirner gallery space—Ebony L. Haynes and the artist and writer Hannah Black, and a stirring conversation between Williams and the choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili, the book serves as an extension of the exhibition. Included are high-quality illustrations of the artworks alongside rich archival materials.

    Kandis Williams (b. 1985) was born in Baltimore and received her BFA from Cooper Union in New York in 2009. She is the founder of the publishing and educational platform Cassandra Press. In addition to her visual arts practice, for which she has been exhibited internationally, Williams’s performances have been mounted in institutions across the world. She is the recipient of the 2021 Grants to Artists award, presented by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New York, and the 2020 Mohn Award for artistic excellence, presented by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Williams is represented by Night Gallery and currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
