Lyric essayists draw on memoir, poetry, and prose to push against
the arbitrary genre restrictions in creative nonfiction, opening up
space not only for new forms of writing, but also new voices and a
new literary canon. This anthology features some of the best lyric
essays published in the last several years by prominent and
emerging writers. Editors Zoe Bossiere and Erica Trabold situate
this anthology within the ongoing work of resistance-to genre
convention, literary tradition, and the confines of
dominant-culture spaces. As sites of resistance, these essays are
diverse and include investigations into deeply personal and
political topics such as queer and trans identity, the American
BIPOC experience, reproductive justice, belonging, grief, and more.
The lyric essay is always surprising; it is bold, unbound, and
free. This collection highlights the lyric essay's natural capacity
for representation and resistance and celebrates the form as a
subversive genre that offers a mode of expression for marginalized
voices. The Lyric Essay as Resistance features contemporary work by
essayists including Melissa Febos, Wendy S. Walters, Torrey Peters,
Jenny Boully, Crystal Wilkinson, Elissa Washuta, Lillian-Yvonne
Bertram, and many more. Their work demonstrates the power of the
lyric essay to bring about change, both on the page and in our
communities.

The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased
as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for
current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or
positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a
wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials.
Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and
products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and
dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land
rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each
of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species
with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw
materials, methods utilized in producing different finished
products, current and future research in crop production and
processing and the present state and future prospects for the
industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops
and their uses, this book will be an important resource for
students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy
makers.
