Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Praying to the God of Small Things celebrates our bountiful and threatened natural world, with its "dove-note, fox-stink, char-smell," and all its inhabitants and landscapes, marveling that "this rifled earth can somehow still / spin gold from last year's straw." Jagoe's clear-eyed love for nature takes in her own history ("Mother was the sun with an on/off switch. / Father held a tarantula close to his heart") and the creatures we live with-acorn weevils, muskrats, kinglets, warblers, a dog lost on a freeway-exploring what it means to be alive and complicit in the age of the Anthropocene. Close observation, rich vocabulary, and a capacious heart accompany the mouth-music of these memorable poems. A vivid, splendid collection.-Robin Chapman, author of The Only Home We KnowAt times the soothsayer, at times the scientist, the narrator of Praying to the God of Small Things weaves astonishment and horror as she looks unflinchingly at the realities of our changing biosphere and its disappearing creatures. These exacting poems telescope in and out, braiding the tangible effects of climate change and keen observations of the leafhopper, the killdeer feigning a broken wing, the "lemonbright" of finches, moss. Never steering away from the complicity of being human, she meanwhile wields the very human power of language, deftly speaking for the wondrous more-than-human world, compelling her readers to "stand still and listen, just listen/ trying to name every song."-Heather Swan, author of Where the Grass Still SingsReading this gorgeous and brilliantly articulated book, I felt alternately elated and riven. Jagoe's language as she describes a range of more-than-human worlds balanced on the edge of disappearance is both lovely and unflinching. "[A]ren't we all / dying, aren't we all beautiful?" she asks, in poems palpable with love for the inhabitants of this planet, whether they be moths, hummingbirds, sycamores, or fellow human beings. Nothing is too small for this poet who learned early on "the wild, sweet witchery" and sheer "wonderment" of our world. A fiercely sad but also ferociously celebratory collection by an attentive, eloquent, and important eco-poet, this book is a hymn for our time.-Alison Townsend, author of The Green Hour. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where are you from? For Catherine Jagoe, a set of complicated assumptions often lies behind this seemingly banal question. While partly an immigrant narrative, Jagoes memoir in essays is not so muchor not onlyabout moving to the US and putting down roots but rather more about feeling perpetually in-between and never quite home. Throughout, Jagoe wrestles with what identity and fidelity mean for a woman with three nationalities, a job as a translator who frequently lives in a fourth country, a history of depression, and chronically divided allegiances. Together, these essays paint a deeply personal yet incredibly relatable portrait of what it means to be an Americanand an immigrantin the twenty-first century.

Hardback. Condition: New. The contradictory nature of the work of Benito Perez Galdos, Spain's greatest modern novelist, is brought to the fore in Catherine Jagoe's innovative and rigorous study. Revising commonly held views of his feminism, she explores the relation of Galdos's novels to the "woman question" in Spain, arguing that after 1892 the muted feminist discourse of his early work largely disappears. While his later novels have been interpreted as celebrations of the emancipated new woman, Jagoe contends that they actually reinforce the conservative, bourgeois model of frugal, virtuous womanhood--the angel of the house. Using primary sources such as periodicals, medical texts, and conduct literature, Jagoe's examination of the evolution of feminism makes Ambiguous Angels valuable to anyone interested in gender, culture, and narrative in nineteenth-century Europe.…
