In her introduction to the book, competition judge Louise Gluck hails the cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power, and purgatorial recklessness of Siken's poems. His poetry is confessional, gay, savage, and charged with violent eroticism. Siken writes with ferocity, and his reader hurtles unstoppably with him.

Friends, The Weight Of Water took me an hour at most to read and packs a lot of good into such a brief read. When I got home and saw that The Weight Of Water was on Netgalley, I immediately downloaded it and let it just sit on my Kindle, until recently when I was in the market for a short book to help me catch up on my goodreads goal. Aside from the best donuts ever and some delicious mimosas, one of the more notable things about the breakfast was that we got to pick through some ARCs and the way awesome publicists told us a little bit about the books they were excited for — one that I specifically remember was Dead Ends by Erin Jade Lange and the other was The Weight Of Water by Sarah Crossan.

Buy a discounted Paperback of Sunny Side Up online from Australias leading online bookstore. Agent: Jill Grinberg, Jill Grinberg Literary Management. Booktopia has Sunny Side Up, Sunny by Jennifer L. Sunny’s introduction, via a new friend, to comic-book heroes like Swamp Thing and Batman creates some slightly heavy-handed but effective parallels for Sunny’s conflicted feelings about a family she cares for deeply. Colored by Lark Pien in creamy aquas, corals, and yellows, the illustrations shout “Florida coast,” and, along with the short chapters, give the story the feel of a serialized Sunday comic. Through skillfully deployed flashbacks, the Holms reveal that these concerns, while not trivial, mask a larger one-Sunny’s older brother’s increasingly out-of-control use of alcohol and drugs. With no kids in sight, a squeaky hide-a-bed to sleep on, and a haircut that falls short of the Dorothy Hamill wedge she’d hoped for, Sunny is disappointed at the direction her summer has taken. Sunny’s planned vacation with a best friend has turned into a solo trip to visit her grandfather at a Florida retirement village. ![]() In a compassionate story that opens in the summer of 1976, the brother-sister team behind the Babymouse and Squish series introduces 10-year-old Sunny Lewin, who is facing unwanted change on multiple fronts.
