I loved Chelsea T. Hicks's first book, "A Calm and Normal Heart," a short story collection. Deft observations, wry humor, emotionally searing—a writer clearly on the way up. I am *thrilled* that my colleague Alessandra Jacobi Tamulevich has now signed her first novel for @oupress.bsky.social!

“Provocative, impressive, and exhaustively researched." —Jakobi Williams "We Are Black, Too" by Jacynda Ammons is the newest book in the @oupress.bsky.social "Greenwood Cultural Center Series in African Diaspora History and Culture," edited by University of Oklahoma professor Karlos Hill.

Delighted with how the cover designer at @oupress.bsky.social nailed "effervescent" for @flowerdarby.bsky.social's "The Joyful Online Teacher," the newest book in our "Teaching, Engaging, and Thriving in Higher Ed" series.
