Tomeo’s pioneering research in the 1960s and 1970s drew attention to the importance of popular culture in our understanding of the operation of the justice system. He was the first to recognize that how laws are interpreted and put into effect depends heavily on how the public understand them. This classic work now appears for the first time in an English translation with additional supporting materials.

Sabrina Vellucci's book *Italian American Poetics of Place: An Environmental Perspective* is now out!

This volume examines the significance of place in contemporary Italian American literature from an ecocritical perspective. From mid-twentieth-century poets such as John Ciardi and Diane di Prima to late twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction writers such as Carole Maso and Salvatore Scibona, the study combines Italian American literary criticism with the spatial turn that, over the last decades, has asserted the interpretive significance of place and the environment in literary texts.

Amrita Ghosh, Rohit K. Dasgupta, and Bhakti Shringarpure's book *India's Imperial Formations: Cultural Perspectives* is now out!

They explore how empire building occurs and consolidates through the Indian and diasporic cultural landscape where a collusion with whiteness, Hindu fundamentalism, casteism, and religious and racial bigotry are rampant, and create hegemonic imaginaries of an India that denies a democratic space of multiple Indias to coexist together.

This book argues that Indian culture industries are a crucial site to investigate constructions of Islamophobia, casteism, sinophobia, sexism, colorism and anti-Blackness.

This polemical book is written by three scholars of culture, gender and postcolonial studies providing an accessible yet rigorous study of these issues.

If a literary movement arises but no one notices, is it still a movement?

Over the last ten decades, #poets working in #fantasy, #sciencefiction, and #horror have collectively brought forth a revival in alliterative #poetics akin to what once happened in the mid-14th century.

This anthology collects for the first time over 50 speculative poets from across North America and Europe.

Alongside such established names as C. S. Lewis, Patrick Rothfuss, Edwin Morgan, Poul Anderson, Jo Walton, P.K. Page, and W.H. Auden, this anthology includes representative texts from cultural movements such as contemporary neo-Paganism and the Society for Creative Anachronism. A lengthy critical introduction by the editor—written accessibly for a general audience—explains and contextualizes the Modern Revival for critics and readers alike.

“What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that’s the only heaven we are given to know in life.” -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) Blodgett

E.D. Blodgett’s final volume of #poems *Walking Into God*, is the culmination of the poet’s lifelong devotion to a #poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in #Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.

This is the first volume in the Keyishian Poetry Series.
