There are rumors and strange stirrings in the sultan's palace. The chief black eunuch has been poisoned by a taste of a beautiful ship made of spun sugar.

As he nears the palace, word comes to Pindar that the woman he once loved, Celia, may be alive and hidden among the ranks of slaves in the sultan's harem.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Mary Hickman's James Laughlin Award-winning second book, Rayfish, masterfully adopts and synthesizes the genre conventions of lyric poetry, nonfiction, and criticism, and extends the possibilities of each. Drawing on her childhood in China and Taiwan and her experience as an assistant in open-heart surgery, Rayfish combines the urgency and vulnerability of the lyric with meditative autobiographical accounting and the voices of numerous artists (Francis Bacon, Eva Hesse, Chaim Soutine, Ida Applebroog) to produce an uncanny chorus of voices. Haunted by the implications of making, these poems question how human beings can, with their limited resources (hand, material, vision, will), fight against the monsters.against neuroticism and fear. Rayfish brings the thinking of the collective into even greater alignment with the intimacy of the lyric, seeking a global space of communication and contact in a world increasingly at risk.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Sometimes it's the unexpected that makes life interesting. Smart, sexy Victoria Small has come to the end of her year off-from men, that is. She's enjoyed her hiatus, the peace, quiet-and no unexpected interruptions. But now she's ready to have someone to come home to. And her timing is perfect, as not one, but two, handsome possibilities enter her life. Ted, a powerful, blue-eyed CEO sends a thrill of excitement through her that shocks Victoria out of her comfort zone. Meanwhile, Parker, a talented surgeon, melts her defenses with his warmth and ebony good looks. The men are as different as can be-inside and out-but they have one thing in common: they both want Victoria. And as she struggles to decide what-and who-she really wants, Victoria will have to face her deepest fears, secrets, and desires-and decide if she's brave enough for true love, no matter what color it comes in. Her answer just may surprise everyone, including herself. "Trice Hickman has created passionate, three-dimensional characters who push the envelope of love and life. A memorable first offering." -Marissa Monteilh, author of Dr. Feelgood "There's a good dose of humor and steamy romance that makes this novel soar." -Urban Reviews. …
