The Florida Man meme lodged itself into the national consciousness through viral headlines like "Florida man threw live gator in Wendy's drive-thru window." But there's much more to the meme than a punchline. In this innovative collection, Tyler Gillespie strips away the accepted myths of his home state and its inhabitants in poems centered on Florida's history and culture. He uses a lyric mix of journalism, science, family lore, and lived experience to reveal complex realities of the state and a redemption that's wondrously messy and surprising.Since the collection's initial publication in 2018, Florida has become even more chaotic and unsafe. In this time, too, Gillespie emerged as one of the state's rising literary voices for his wit and style. This second edition revisits the original collection and extends its themes with 20 new poems that form the chapbook-length addition HEAT ADVISORY.

The Rockingham Weekly Register began publication in July 1822. Although not many of the earliest issues have survived, those that have were tracked down by the author in the collections of the University of Virginia, Duke University, historical societies, private collectors, and local family members. During its lifetime, the Rockingham Weekly Register, generally referred to as the Rockingham Register, enjoyed wide circulation throughout the Shenandoah Valley, including parts of what is now West Virginia. The author has arranged all surnames she found in the marriage notices in alphabetical order: the bride's maiden name is followed by a cross-reference to the groom's surname; the groom's name is followed by a transcription of the notice itself. Entries typically give the date and place of the wedding; the name of the priest performing the ceremony; the full name of the groom and his place of residence; the full name of the bride, her place of residence and the full name of her father. The author has added the date the notice appeared in the Register, plus the page and column numbers.

True Grit meets Twin Peaks in this genre-bending debut novel by Chase Dearinger. This New Dark explores the haunted, broken hills of eastern Oklahoma, where over the course of just two cold days in November, the residents of Seven Suns will each face their own kind of weird. There's Wyatt, a dope-growing Muscogee whose obsession with a black cougar that shouldn't exist begins to uproot his life. The teenager who lives with him-Randy-is outraged at the world, confused about his sexuality, and haunted by the bones of his mother. And there's Esther-a dutiful, God-fearing court bailiff who finds herself thrust into the position of county sheriff, forced to find the missing girl whose disappearance sets everything in motion. Inexorably bringing them all together is a nameless cowboy junky who may or may not be some ancient shape-shifting evil. All of them must overcome this new dark while dealing with the violent undercurrents of family, religion, addiction, and death.

In 1977, two lesbian couples living in St. Augustine, Florida, found a row of small beach houses for sale next to a house they wanted to turn into a feminist theatre. They bought the cottages, leased and later bought the theatre building, and over the next two decades expanded and developed the property as a cultural center, women's retreat center, and residential community. The Pagoda, as it came to be called, offered nude swimming in a private pool, fire circles on the beach, variety shows with bellydancing, poetry readings, comedy sketches, and regular concerts by feminist musicians in a private theatre. Pagoda women produced feminist plays about Cinderella's after-story and sketch comedy by Positively Revolting Hags. They hosted celebrations of the Goddess, Tarot readings, and psychic workshops. At its height, The Pagoda was a Goddess church running a cultural center and guesthouse surrounded by twelve tiny, custom-built, knotty pine cottages and a duplex, all owned by lesbians. The cultural center and guesthouse lasted twenty-two years as an active operation run by the incorporated, tax-exempt Pagoda-temple of Love in the closing decades of the twentieth century, and another sixteen years after that shepherded by Fairy Godmothers, Inc., four women with a different vision for the space. This is the story of how all that happened. In The Pagoda: A Lesbian Community by the Sea, Rose Norman expertly synthesizes interviews and extensive archival research to tell the story of the women who made that community a place for lesbian culture to bloom and grow.
