Book cover for Are You Borg Now? (2nd Edition) by Said Shaiye (Noemi Press): This innovative Afrofuturist memoir returns in a second edition with a new introduction by Douglas Kearney. Said Shaiye’s cross-genre debut Are You Borg Now? blends nonfiction and poetry in an experimental interview the author conducts with his younger self, rejecting the conventions of memoir and what is expected of who writes them, specifically when that writer is an immigrant. Are You Borg Now? cyphers with trauma through a poetics of refusal via hard and beautiful language. Finding vigor in Islam and mirrors in Star Trek: Voyager, Shaiye shifts achingly between memory and improvisation. https://www.noemipress.org/catalog/poetry/are-you-borg-now-2nd-edition/

Book cover for Make Your Way Home: Stories by Carrie R. Moore (Tin House): In eleven stories that span Florida marshes, North Carolina mountains, and Southern metropolitan cities, Make Your Way Home follows Black men and women who grapple with the homes that have eluded them. https://tinhouse.com/book/make-your-way-home/

Terazawa’s 3rd poetry collection contemplates fraught intersections between a mother’s language of Vietnamese and craft considerations of Japanese-English meter, forming a series of 6 spoken “scores” mirroring the tonal arc of a musical variety show akin to the Vietnamese diaspora, “Paris by Night.”
