Moms don't have time to : a quarantine anthology / by Owens, Zibby,editor.;
It's impossible to ignore how life has changed since COVID-19 spread across the world. People from all over quarantined and did their best to keep on going during the pandemic. Zibby Owens, host of the award-winning podcast Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books and a mother of four herself, wanted to do something to help people carry on and to give them something to focus on other than the horrors of their news feeds. So she launched an online magazine called We Found Time. Authors who had been on her podcast wrote original, brilliant essays for busy readers. Zibby organized these profound pieces into themes inspired by five things moms don't have time to do: eat, read, work out, breathe, and have sex. Now compiled as an anthology named Moms Don't Have Time To, these beautiful, original essays by dozens of bestselling and acclaimed authors speak to the ever-increasing demands on our time, especially during the quarantine, in a unique, literary way. Actress Evangeline Lilly writes about the importance and impact of film. Bestselling author Rene Denfeld focuses on her relationship with food after growing up homeless. Screenwriter and author Lea Carpenter and Suzanne Falter, author, speaker, and podcast host, focus on loss. New York Times bestselling authors Chris Bohjalian and Gretchen Rubin write about the importance of reading. Others write about working out, love and sex, eating and cooking, and more. Join Zibby on her journey through the winding road of quarantine and perhaps you, too, will find time.

The poem is you : 60 contemporary American poems and how to read them / by Burt, Stephanie,1971-author.(CARDINAL)784989;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 371-396) and index.Contemporary American poetry has plenty to offer new readers, and plenty more for those who already follow it. Yet its difficulty--and sheer variety--leaves many readers puzzled or overwhelmed. The critic, scholar, and poet Stephen Burt sets out to help. Beginning in the early 1980s, where critical consensus ends, Burt canvasses American poetry of the past four decades, from the headline making urgency of Claudia Rankine's Citizen to the stark pathos of Louise Glück, the limitless energy of J. F. Herrera, and the erotic provocations of D. A. Powell. The Poem Is You: Sixty Contemporary American Poems and How to Read Them is a guide to the diverse magnificences of American poetry today. It presents a wide range of poems selected by Burt for this volume, each accompanied by an original essay explaining how a given poem works, why it matters, and how the poem speaks to other parts of art and culture. Included here are some classroom classics (by Ashbery, Komunyakaa, Hass), less famous poems by very famous poets (Glück, Kay Ryan), prizewinning poets near the start of their careers (such as Brandon Som), and others who are not--or not yet--well known. The Poem Is You will appeal to poets, teachers, and students, but it is intended especially for readers who want to learn more about contemporary American poetry but who have not known where or how to start. It describes what American poets have fashioned for one another, and what they can give us today. --

Building a pro-black world : moving beyond DE&I work and creating spaces for black people to thrive / by Suarez, Cyndi,editor.(CARDINAL)889740;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In recent years, following the popularity of books like Ijeoma Oluo's So You Want to Talk About Race? and Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist, there has been a surfeit of books published on the politics of race and racial injustice; within the field of nonprofit organization and management, these books have tended to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as a proxy for antiracism. NPQ's focus on "pro-Black" is a fresh perspective that pushes the field into thinking beyond corrective DEI measures. The proposed book names something that Black liberation movements in the U.S. have advanced--and continue to advance--in public discourse, but which people have not been talking about in the nonprofit sector: The urgent need to build a world in which Black people can thrive. An explicitly "pro-Black" framing focuses on designing nonprofit organizations, programs, services, philanthropy, and more for people who are most marginalized by systems of power. It advances the understanding that designing a better world for those who are marginalized will create a better world for everyone. NPQ has argued that this shift--"from critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to designing for pro-Blackness"--is already happening in the field (Suarez 2022). The reader captures this shift in nonprofit theory and practice; it will also include articles that present new possibilities for action."--Enacting pro-Black leadership : a better world is possible.
