Event Horizon
* Marvin is known for bristling, provocative poems on what it means to be a woman and navigating turbulent relationships with both beloved ones and oneself. * Marvin, dubbed a "postmodern Plath," can find herself simultaneously violent and tender, sharp and vulnerable, using irony and dark humor just as skillfully as Plath to make fierce observations on relationships and loss. * Marvin co-founded VIDA, an organization committed to highlighting gender disparities in the larger landscape of literary publications. The organization is known for the "VIDA Count," an annual gender breakdown of major literary publications and book reviews. * Marvin had her first child through IVF in her late 30s. Some poems address the contrasts between how she was parented versus what she wants for her daughter. * Marvin explores a plethora of complicated relationships and their statuses-old or reconnected boyfriends, toxic friendships, austere parents, being a single mother. * Recipient of a Whiting Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award. * Some poems in Event Horizon refer to or are in conversation with other writers, including "dead poets" like Marianne Moore and Richard Howard, and also more contemporary ones like Sharon Olds and Wallace Stevens. * Marvin is an only child, and her father was a CIA intelligence analyst. There are poems about their strained relationship in the book.- Shop: buecher

Marriage of Unconvenience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
Lauren “Lo” Bowman is in a bit of a pickle. She needs money, like ASAP. She lost her job, the rent is due, and her car needs repairs. Problem is, the inheritance left to her by her old-fashioned Granny has one stipulation before she can collect: She has to be married. Let’s just say suitors (of any gender) are not knocking down her door. And then Cara Simms, her best friend from childhood that she’s recently reconnected with, pours her heart out and confesses that she needs money to pay for grad school. Lo has a completely brilliant idea: They should get hitched. Not married married. Like, fake married. All they have to do is play the part for the lawyers, get the money, and then get the marriage annulled. Easy as hell. Well, it starts out that way, but being fake married feels a lot like being real married, and Lo is flipping out. She cannot be falling for her best friend. Can she? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Dear Dana (eBook, ePUB)
When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life. Though the two women hadn't had any contact in thirty years, it didn't take them long to catch up—and when Amy learned that Dana's son Parker was doing a second stint at St. Jude battling cancer, she was suddenly inspired to begin writing the pair weekly letters. When Parker died, Amy—not knowing what else to do—continued to write Dana. Eventually, Dana wrote back, and the two became pen pals, sharing things through the mail that they had never shared before. The richness of the experience left Amy wondering something: If my life could be so changed by someone I considered "just a Facebook friend," what would happen if I wrote all my Facebook friends a letter? A whopping 580 handwritten letters later Amy's life, and most of all her heart, would never, ever, be the same again. As it turned out, there were actual individuals living very real lives behind each social media profile, and she was beautifully connected to each of those extraordinary, flawed people for a specific reason. They loved her, and she loved them. And nothing—not politics, beliefs, or lifestyle—could separate them.- Shop: buecher

Mennonite Meets Mr. Right: A Memoir of Faith, Hope, and Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
What does it mean to give church a try when you haven't really tried since you were 12? At the end of her best-selling memoir Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, Rhoda Janzen had reconnected with her family and her roots, though her future felt uncertain. But when she starts dating a churchgoer, this skeptic begins a surprising journey to faith and love. Rhoda doesn't slide back into the dignified simplicity of the Mennonite church. Instead she finds herself hanging with the Pentecostals, who really know how to get down with sparkler pom-poms. Amid the hand waving and hallelujahs, Rhoda finds a faith richly practical for life - just in time for some impressive lady problems, an unexpected romance, and a quirky new family. Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? is for people who have a problem with organized religion, but can't quite dismiss the notion of God, and for those who secretly sing hymns in their cars, but prefer a nice mimosa brunch to church. This is the story of what it means to find joy in love, comfort in prayer, and - incredibly, surprisingly - faith in a big-hearted God. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rhoda Janzen.
