FWIW, newspaper book review sections are part of the mission of journalism. Every year, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry titles tell us something we didn't know before, or advance the craft of verse and prose in new ways. This is the purpose of reviews: to alert us to the shaping of our culture.

Celebrate Black History Month with these incredible books. coffeehousepress.org/collections/...

"Many novels are about money, but few really capture the minutiae of money and its dominance like this one. HYPER reviewed in MIZNA. mizna.org/mizna-online...

Out April 7th..

📗 The books coming out of small presses are so, so important. PW says of the latest from Coffee House Press, "cutting and self-assured, [Hyper] heralds the arrival of a thrilling new voice in the vein of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Zadie Smith." Check it out here: bookshop.org/a/106297/978...

"HELEN OF NOWHERE wears its weirdness and difficulty with pride. Goodman has created an ambiguous, mercurial work dripping with irony, but it doesn't feel remote." Makenna Goodman getting a rave review in The Times! www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

A truly amazing book by one of my genius friends. Buy it, borrow it, read it, experience it.

This is Minneapolis: You pick up groceries for a neighbor who is out of food and can't leave home without fear of abduction. When you get home, you see neighbors talking about how someone was abducted from the opposite corner of the intersection while you were inside the store shopping.

Twin Cities I know we’re under attack today of all days and it feels like you have to be on the street /all the time but: for the next 90 minutes, my front door is open to my 2nd floor apartment. I have tea on the “samovar” and a coworker brought brownies for you. DM for address, in Mac-Groveland.

Daniel Borzutzky @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

If you’re in Minneapolis and need a place to just BE right now, Big Hill Books and Birchbark Books & Native Arts are both open and ready to welcome you with open arms.

"HELN OF NOWHERE is unlike any other fiction – unique in its blend of surrealism, philosophy and satire – while also raising questions about feminism, success, marriage and sacrifice. Every single sentence works hard and yet reads effortlessly. Brilliant." www.anothermag.com/art-photogra...

www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/12/p... On Anne Waldman: "She has carved out a unique space for herself as a matriarch, a gnostic, an oracle, a Buddhist, a magician, a mystic and a humanist. She is also, as Publishers Weekly called her, “a countercultural giant.”

Mónica Ojeda galleys have arrived. Surreal, haunting, both beautiful and terrifying. ELECTRIC SHAMANS AT THE FESTIVAL OF THE SUN will be coming May 12th.
