Poets for Harris is a collective of poets from across the United States committed to protecting artistic freedom and supporting the historic campaign of Kamala Harris for president. All net profits from sales of this book will be donated to VoteRiders. A few hours after President Biden announced he would not be seeking re-election and Vice President Kamala Harris was named his preferred candidate, Win With Black Women, led by founder Jotaka Eaddy (and author of the foreword for this collection), kicked off an organic tsunami of volunteer organizations with a historic 44,000-strong Zoom call. Win With Black Men, White Women: Answer The Call!, White Dudes for Harris, Comics for Kamala, Cat Ladies for Kamala, and many more soon followed. San Francisco Bay Area poets Liz Cahill and James Morehead, during a break at a local open mic, asked the question: “Where are the poets?” And Poets for Harris was born. Like many of the over 100 grassroots organizations, Poets for Harris started from nothing more than an idea and the determination to do something. Fast forward to Sunday, September 15, the 61st anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, and an extraordinary lineup of poets took to a virtual mic for a nearly four-hour livestream event, viewed (as of this writing) by nearly two thousand people. Even more poets participated online by contributing videos, which were shared thousands of times on social media. This book builds on that event with contributions from Pulitzer Prize nominees and finalists, poets laureate, and authors, including: Poets for Harris is a collective of poets from across the United States committed to protecting artistic freedom and supporting the historic campaign of Kamala Harris for president.

The bestselling author of the Wheat Belly books brings his next big, game-changing idea—how the human microbiome is evolving, and potentially wrecking, our health, and how we can fix it. Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior. The ancient bacteria that keep our digestion moving have been dying, replaced by harmful microbes that don’t keep us physically and mentally fit. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments. There are entire species of microbes that have disappeared, which creates health issues that were uncommon one hundred, or even fifty, years ago. The result is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions. Super Gut shows us how to eliminate bad bacteria and bring back the “good” bacteria with a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome. This not only gets to the root of many diseases, but also improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health, anti-aging, weight loss, mental clarity, and restful sleep. Also included are more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being.

Allergies, asthma, obesity, acne: these are just a few of the conditions that may be caused—and someday cured—by the microscopic life inside us. The key is to understand how this groundbreaking science influences your health, mood, and more. In just the last few years, scientists have shown how the microscopic life within our bodies— particularly within our intestines—has an astonishing impact on our lives. Your health, mood, sleep patterns, eating preferences—even your likelihood of getting bitten by mosquitoes—can be traced in part to the tiny creatures that live on and inside of us. In Follow Your Gut, pioneering scientist Rob Knight pairs with award-winning science journalist Brendan Buhler to explain—with good humor and easy-to-grasp examples—why these new findings matter to everyone. They lead a detailed tour of the previously unseen world inside our bodies, calling out the diseases and conditions believed to be most directly impacted by them. With a practical eye toward deeper knowledge and better decisions, they also explore the known effects of antibiotics, probiotics, diet choice and even birth method on our children’s lifelong health. Ultimately, this pioneering book explains how to learn about your own microbiome and take steps toward understanding and improving your health, using the latest research as a guide.
