In this haunting collection, MT Vallarta unflinchingly weaves the reader through the slippery terrain of trauma and memory. The poems walk through the multiple dimensions of grief, survival, and hope. U.S. (neo)colonialism of the Philippines, growing up in an immigrant family, losing loved ones to suicide, coming to terms with queer identity-What You Refuse to Remember demonstrates how these journeys and monumental acts of becoming are intricately connected and how a painful past propels us to imagine and materialize brighter and more fruitful futures.
Complex family dynamics, the kinds of things that can go seriously wrong on long road trips, and, ultimately, forgiveness and love, are at the heart of Highway of Spirit and Bone, the debut novel of former professor and poet Steven Ostowski.David reluctantly agrees to drive his mother, Lilly, from her longtime home on Staten Island to Flagstaff, Arizona. He leaves his wife and children behind, along with a sense of unease about a new neighbor, who seems to be spending too much time at his home since he hit the road.Jeanette, Lilly's youngest daughter, joins them, even though she and David tend to bicker a lot, and apparently have major challenges from their past that they bring with them. In addition, Jeanette has recently broken off a relationship with Sherry, a former police officer. A distraught Sherry takes to the road too, desperate to reconcile with Jeanette.Their poet brother, Aaron, awaits in Las Vegas, with secrets and unresolved issues with both David and Jeanette. Lilly insists on a detour before they reach Flagstaff.Along the highways of America, David, Lilly and Jeanette encounter people and situations that are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and sometimes dangerous. Each provides insights into that most complex of relationships and challenges of the journeying soul.

When Horace Greeley advised Americans to "Go West!" a century and a half ago, it's doubtful he envisioned someone like Calvin Hopper. Greeley's advice was full of promise and optimism; Hopper, who has lived and breathed the East all his life, wants only a place to escape.He's fifty years old and adrift, trying to shed the remnants of a relationship that has collapsed for the second and final time. He envisions the West as a place to rebound, or maybe just disappear; and Sage, Montana, becomes the way station on a journey whose endpoint he hasn't really considered.Hidden by both weather and topography, Sage exudes a sleepy appearance, but despite that and its smattering of old-west kitsch, it hides a multitude of secrets, many of which extend well beyond its borders. It turns out that other residents have arrived there seeking their own solitude; and one of them, Amy O'Leary, has endured personal tragedies that easily eclipse Hopper's. Even as the two of them grow closer, there remains some wall Cal cannot penetrate, and only when they both face grave danger do we learn the secrets she has struggled to keep.
