Gutenberg's invention of movable type in the fifteenth century
introduced an era of mass communication that permanently altered
the structure of society. While publishing has been buffeted by
persistent upheaval and transformation ever since, the current
combination of technological developments, market pressures, and
changing reading habits has led to an unprecedented paradigm shift
in the world of books. Bringing together a wide range of
perspectives -- industry veterans and provocateurs, writers,
editors, and digital mavericks -- this invaluable collection
reflects on the current situation of literary publishing, and
provides a road map for the shifting geography of its future: How
do editors and publishers adapt to this rapidly changing world? How
are vibrant public communities in the Digital Age created and
engaged? How can an industry traditionally dominated by white men
become more diverse and inclusive? Mindful of the stakes of the
ongoing transformation, Literary Publishing in the 21st Century
goes beyond the usual discussion of 'print vs. digital' to uncover
the complex, contradictory, and increasingly vibrant personalities
that will define the future of the book.

Sulky races at the Mercer County Fair, church suppers, sorghum
making, shooting marbles in the school yard, housing tobacco,
loafing at the courthouse -- here are 129 beautifully reproduced
images of who we were as Kentuckians not so long ago -- during the
Depression and the early years of World War II.
This collection is part of the remarkable series of photos shot
for the Farm Security Administration -- more than 125,000
photographs taken over a period of nine years by some of the best
American photographers of the time, including Ben Shahn, Marion
Post Wolcott, Russell Lee, John Vachon, and Arthur Rothstein.
To reintroduce us to that important slice of our history,
Beverly Brannan and David Horvath have selected a rich sampling
from among several thousand photos taken in Kentucky for the FSA.
They have added an extra dimension to the images by including in
their commentary excerpts from the photographers' own
correspondence and field notes.
Along with a lively introduction by the well-known Kentucky poet
Jim Wayne Miller, the text of A Kentucky Album helps us see these
photographs as art, as social history, and as an unforgettable
composite of the amazing diversity of culture, history, and
environment that have made Kentucky unique.

Winner of the 2022 Colorado Book Award for Poetry A boy asks his
father what it means to die; a poet wonders whether we can truly
know another's thoughts; a man tries to understand how extreme
violence and grace can occupy the same space. These are the
questions Wayne Miller tackles in We the Jury: the hard ones, the
impossible ones. From an academic dinner party disturbing in its
crassness and disaffection to a family struggling to communicate
gently the permanence of death, Miller situates his poems in
dilemma. He faces moments of profound discomfort, grief, and even
joy with a philosopher's curiosity, a father's compassion, and an
overarching inquiry at the crossroads of ethics and art: what is
the poet's role in making sense of human behavior? A bomb
crater-turned-lake "exploding with lilies," a home lost during the
late-aughts housing crash-these images and others, powerful and
resonant, attempt to answer that question. Candid and vulnerable,
Miller sits with us while we puzzle: we all wish we knew what to
tell our children about death. But he also pushes past this and
other uncertainties, vowing-and inviting us-to "expand our
relationship / with Death," and with every challenging,
uncomfortable subject we meet. In the face of questions that seem
impossible to answer, We the Jury offers not a shrug, but
curiosity, transparency, a throwing of the arms wide.

Before the Big Three," even before the Model T, the race for
dominance in the American car market was fierce, fast, and
sometimes farcical. Car Crazy takes readers back to the passionate
and reckless years of the early automobile era, from 1893, when the
first US-built auto was introduced, through 1908, when General
Motors was founded and Ford's Model T went on the market. The
motorcar was new, paved roads few, and devotees of this exciting
and unregulated technology battled with citizens who considered the
car a dangerous scourge, wrought by the wealthy, that was
shattering a more peaceful way of life.Among the pioneering
competitors were Ransom E. Olds, founder of Olds Motor Works and
creator of a new company called REO Olds' cutthroat new CEO
Frederic L. Smith William C. Billy" Durant of Buick Motor Company
(and soon General Motors) and inventor Henry Ford. They shared a
passion for innovation, both mechanical and entrepreneurial, but
their maniacal pursuit of market share would also involve legal
manipulation, vicious smear campaigns, and zany publicity
stunts,including a wild transcontinental car race that transfixed
the public. Their war on wheels ultimately culminated in a
courtroom battle that would shape the American car industry
forever.Based on extensive original research, Car Crazy is a
page-turning story of popular culture, business, and sport at the
dawn of the twentieth century, filled with compelling,
larger-than-life characters, each an American original.
