Through the voices of two unnamed women, a married couple with teenage children, the poems reflect on their precarious existence in a city at risk of flooding. The work serves as a cautionary tale, urging action to prevent the fate of low-lying coastal cities, while intertwining themes of loss and resilience in a rapidly changing world.

An edgy, sexy, and practical guide to making and presenting raw meals that entice and satisfy any type of diet In this lushly illustrated book, chef Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis will show readers that raw food does not mean bland, unsatisfying meals.

They also address the positives of eating raw food, and how you can benefit from them even if you don’t plan to keep strictly to raw food, and they take us to meet some of the zany characters from the raw food universe.
