Memoirs are generally written by people who are well into adulthood and who have led extraordinary lives. So why would Tess, a shy seventeen-year-old, feel compelled to start writing hers? Sure, things aren't great. It's 1982. She has fractious family relationships. She has good friends, but she's too shy to approach boys. There is a boy who seems to like her, and he's definitely her intellectual equal, but he's the most unpopular kid in town, and their 'friendship' would render her a social pariah if anyone found out. It's when she's at a typewriter, or with pen and paper, that she really shines. So, what's she going to write about? That adults - whether they're good or bad - wield all the power? Her creepy uncle? Her foray into civil disobedience when she was only twelve years of age? The plethora of quirky types that populate the small town where she lives? Her secret underground newspaper? But what event would trigger a self-conscious and introverted teenager to attempt her life story? Howling on a Concrete Moon is a coming-of-age story that will in turn make you laugh, cringe, and cry as you share Tess's emotional journey.

The twentieth edition of The Best American poetry series celebrates the rich and fertile landscape of American poetry. Renowned poet Heather McHugh loves words and the unexpected places they take you; her own poetry elevates wordplay to a species of metaphysical wit. For this year's anthology McHugh has culled a spectacular group of poems reflecting her passion for language, her acumen, and her vivacious humor. From the thousands of poems published or posted in one year, McHugh has chosen seventy-five that fully engage the reader while illustrating the formal and tonal diversity of American poetry. With new work by established poets such as Louise Glück, Robert Hass, and Richard Wilbur, The Best American Poetry 2007 also features such younger talents as Ben Lerner, Meghan O'Rourke, Brian Turner, and Matthea Harvey. Graced with McHugh's fascinating introduction, the anthology includes the ever-popular notes and comments section in which the contributors write about their work. Series editor David Lehman's engaging foreword limns the necessity of poetry. The Best American Poetry 2007 is an exciting addition to a series committed to covering the American poetry scene and delivering great poems to a broad audience.

Howling at the Moon is a singular work, a hunger-ballad spanning several hundred lines and changing direction like a jack-rabbit. At one moment the verse is sturdy, like a thigh, at the next mercurial; wispish as the thrill of new love. The author has described the work as a poem "that just wouldn't stop bloody going" but at its core the book is an exploration of what people can't say, and what a howl can.

The world of Michael Chabon comes alive in the first full-length, analytical guide devoted to this brilliantly creative writer. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon is considered one of the most distinguished contemporary American novelists. Reading Michael Chabon, the first full-length volume on the writer, views his career as bridging the gap between literary and popular culture. Designed for book club members and high school and college students, this reference guide will help readers keep track of Chabon's intricate plots and draw thematic connections between and among his major novels. It will also help them understand his fiction as cultural commentary on contemporary masculinity and Jewish identity. The book treats both Chabon's life and work, including film adaptations of his novels, his love affair with comics, and his forays into detective and adventure fiction. A chapter is dedicated to each of his major novels, including Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and The Yiddish Policemen's Union.

Moe Szyslak, pug-ugly purveyor at the local waterin' hole, has done it all—from takin' his licks in the boxing ring to performin' backroom surgery. Get to know the man behind the apron strings, the misunderstood mixologist with the gold-plated heart, as he dispenses advice to drunks like it was Duff on draft, recommends some of his signature (and watered-down) drinks like the Moe-jito, tries out a pick-up line or two, dreams of actually gettin' a date, dishes a little on his acting career, and counts his blessings (like babysittin' Maggie Simpson) that make life worth livin' for at least one more day.
