Book Description
Winner of the Emily Dickinson First Book Award from the Poetry Foundation O ludicrous swoon, O blind hind-sight, O torching of bridges and blood boiled white, O sparrow, and arrow, and hell below, O, she says, because she loves to say O. —from "O, She Says" Swoop is a sonically audacious first book, a ringing up and down the musical scales. Hailey Leithauser's resplendent array of forms—from traditional verse to more fragmented, onrushing experiments—takes the reader to the heights of lyricism. In these poems, sharp objects speak for themselves, sex is taken up alfresco (among other things), an enigmatic question is posed from To Have and Have Not, and the song of a mockingbird drives us out of bed. A paean to excess, Swoop is a virtuosic and exhilarating debut.

Book Description
Who Are China's Walking Dead? Former high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials, alongside an army colonel, a judge, a diplomat, a propaganda official, a secret agent, and a CCP role-model student, lift the veil on the Marxist culture that has molded the thoughts and actions of Chinese people for over seventy years. It is this culture that created China's "Walking Dead." Filmmaker and author, Kay Rubacek, weaves together interviews with these Chinese communist insiders with extensive research, and a sense of humor, into a rich narrative that takes you into a strange and dangerous world built on a foundation of lies, money-lust, and zero moral boundaries. Kay Rubacek has 20 years experience producing award-winning, educational programming in print, digital, and video formats. She is currently a producer and director for New York-based Swoop Films and directed Swoop Films' latest award-winning documentary, Finding Courage.
