“When you kiss a monster, you turn them into angels. If you’d kiss the Collector, he would turn you into a monster. So… what happens if you would kiss a human?” Her name is Kiss. She travels the world to find monsters to kiss and turn them into angels—for the world has too many monsters and too few angels, she believes; too many shadows and too few stars in the sky. But then she crosses paths with Zane, a young human man, a lost and lonely cello player, who tells her about the Collector—a monster who would turn her into a demon if she’d kiss him. The Collector wants and claims everything that catches his attention. And so, he starts hunting for Kiss. Will she run? Will she stay and fight? Or could Zane, a mere human, save her instead?

In A Kiss across the Ocean Richard T. Rodríguez examines the relationship between British post-punk musicians and their Latinx audiences in the United States since the 1980s. Melding memoir with cultural criticism, Rodríguez spotlights a host of influential bands and performers including Siouxsie and the Banshees, Adam Ant, Bauhaus, Soft Cell, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Pet Shop Boys. He recounts these bands’ importance for him and other Latinx kids and discusses their frequent identification with these bands’ glamorous performance of difference. Whether it was Siouxsie Sioux drawing inspiration from Latinx contemporaries and cultural practices or how Soft Cell singer Marc Almond’s lyrics were attuned to the vibrancy of queer Latinidad, Rodríguez shows how Latinx culture helped shape British post-punk. He traces the fandom networks that link these groups across space and time to illuminate how popular music establishes and facilitates intimate relations across the Atlantic. In so doing, he demonstrates how the music and styles that have come to define the 1980s hold significant sway over younger generations equally enthused by their matchlessly pleasurable and political reverberations.

Love is the most sublime mystery in human life. Throughout the ages, it has been celebrated by poets and playwrights, analyzed by scientists and philosophers, and sought after by people in all walks of life. It can knock us on our butts, stop us in our tracks, sweep us off our feet, lift us to the stars, and push us over the edge. This book, When Sea Kisses Shore, explores the power of love to touch and transform us, which sometimes occurs in a single tidal wave, a tsunami that slams onto the shore, tearing down our habitat and sweeping most everything we once held precious into the sea. But more often it is the culmination of wave after wave mostly spilling gently on the shore mixed with surges and plunges and inshore waves that drain the beach as a backwash, wearing down our rough edges, smoothing our rocky surfaces, and shaping our shore in ways we cannot predict. This may be the most powerful transformation love works over us: restoring us to the mystery of life and reminding us of our place in the family of things.? If you have ever felt yourself brimming with desire for someone, for some place, or for some thing; or if you have ever dared give your heart to another or to life, this collection of love poems is for you. If you have ever known loss and loneliness, felt defeated by the heartbreak of desire, and longed to be made whole again, this book is for you. If you have ever been at a loss for words to share your love, this book will give voice to what lives in your heart!

But the last thing she expects is to fall for Deni, a brooding Indonesian boy who lives at the orphanage, and just so happens to be HOT. When Deni hears a rumor that his father may be alive, Sienna doesn't think twice about running away with him to the epicenter of the disaster. Unfortunately, what they find there could break both their hearts. A compelling summer romance, Sea marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in YA.
