A groundbreaking journey celebrating nature’s diversity, family ties, and female power, and lamenting both our human and environmental losses. Maurya Simon’s twelfth volume of poems, The Blue Bridge, is a literary tour de force that bears witness to the twenty-first century’s dire and lasting dangers brought about by human folly and greed. At the same time that it laments species loss, it honors the enduring lives of small creatures, and the perseverance and adaptability of larger animals.

What if somebody you loved kept a deep, dark secret from you for your entire life? What if your real family was right next door all along? In the summer of 2021, when author Margo Reilly published her tell-all memoir, When the Apple Falls from the Tree, she hadn't a single clue that an at-home DNA test kit would send her midlife identity crisis further into uncharted waters. When You Shake the Family Tree is a vulnerable sharing of Margo's search for self. An emotional quest of connecting the dots that suddenly made her whole life make sense.
