Les Portes
“Written from within a blessedly unfinished and particular life, Les Portes is a tender meditation on intimacy, survival, the violent ‘history available to repeat,’ and how we might, nonetheless, reach toward each other. Moving from the child’s doomed certainty of the gendered harm she will inherit, to the enclosing repetitions of queer domestic abuse, to the woman’s flight away into ‘the bright world again / carrying every year of [her] life in [her] hands,’ this searching debut allows us to witness a voice wrestling with form in order to come honestly into its own. I am grateful to this poet for her honesty, her opacity, her directness, her ambivalence, her arrival, not at closure, but at more openness to questions about how to desire a future absent of harm—after we ‘break apart, shatter, / melt down the very machinery’—while living on in a world, a self, so thoroughly shaped by it. That is, this is the kind of book I find myself reaching for these days, one that helps me to feel something new about how to live, as we all do, in the aftermath—the aftermath of our personal traumas and losses and leavings, the aftermath of the racist/heteropatriarchal order that gives them form.” —Cameron Awkward-Rich, author of An Optimism “Meredith Nnoka is a poet of daring ethical imagination. Through language at once elegant in syntax and jagged in emotional truth, Les Portes excavates ‘an unknown history of fire’ in order to move closer to ‘something like love.’ To understand harm, its origins, and how to address it, Nnoka is not satisfied to examine only the self or the immediate other; she must investigate whole family histories as well as the power structures built around race, gender, and queerness. But never does she forget the everyday scale at which intimate partner violence occurs—nor how a single illuminating image can push toward another life possibility. What an expansive and unforgettable debut.” —Chen Chen, author of Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency "Les Portes is a book we all must take into the next phase of humanity, of history. Nnoka’s way of truth telling is so alive, so patient and precise, I feel almost immobilized. I recognize all these thoughts and feelings—I have not been alone. This poet’s knife work cuts it all open, incisive, bloodletting. I breathe this living truth all in, poem by poem, and even though 'we’re not safe yet'—I feel such hope blooming in my blood. Yes." —Brenda Shaughnessy, author of The Octopus Museum "At once haunting and refreshingly uplifting, the poems in this small, powerful volume invite readers into the space where love, pain, and desire meet resistance and hope. Nnoka is a beautiful writer whose body of work centers on a clear analysis of harm in queer relationships, while revealing the complex space between self soothing and surrender. The poems are graceful and generative and will seep into the heart of readers from start to finish." —Beth E. Richie, coauthor of Abolition. Feminism. Now. "Nnoka’s poetry is the contribution I did not know was missing from what I and others sometimes mark as abolition feminism, or our collective experiments that demand the world do the work to end forms of impersonal violence without deepening the carceral state." —Erica Meiner, from the introduction

The Feminist and the Sex Offender
A powerful case for freedom and transformation, for accountability and repair - the next course for feminism in the era of #MeToo With analytical clarity and narrative force, The Feminist and the Sex Offender contends with two problems that, despite their inextricable linkages, are typically siloed in the era of #MeToo and mass incarceration: sexual and gender violence, on the one hand, and the state's unjust, ineffective, and soul-destroying response to it. Levine and Meiners ask if it's possible to confront the culture of abuse, to hold harm-doers accountable, without recourse to a criminal justice system that redoubles injuries, fails survivors, and retrenches the conditions that made such abuse possible. Drawing on personal experience, reportage, and history, Feminist Justice develops an intersectional feminist approach to ending sexual violence. It maps with considerable detail the unjust sex offender regime while highlighting the alternatives we urgently need.

Flaunt It!
Queers Organizing for Public Education and Justice«This book disrupts one of the great silences in education. From the recruitment of army privates, to the privatization of schools, to the norming of teacher training, Therese Quinn and Erica R. Meiners show how the ‘straightening’ of our students has been central to the hidden curriculum of school reform; and how fear of the queer and fear of the racial are intimate partners in the systematic violation of public bodies. We who are concerned with in/justice must read this book.» (K. Wayne Yang, Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of California, San Diego) «Therese Quinn and Erica R. Meiners, engaged educators, encourage us to see no separation between scholarship and activism, our professions and our politics. They press us to re-consider what we do, and what really matters in our work and in the world.» (Annette Henry, Professor of Education, University of Washington, Tacoma) «This book breaks boundaries and situates itself between the tensions of scholarly words and active resistance to oppression. The language is articulate, the ideas compelling, and the authors take the reader through a decisive anatomy of educational activism, dissecting each issue, demanding solutions. It is a book about social justice, but it is also about tough subjects, about gutsy responses, and an unqualified urge to change the educational world.» (Didi Khayatt, Professor, Faculty of Education, York University) «The authors combine powerful reports of their interventions against educational privatization, militarization, and anti-queer organizations in U.S. schools with an unflinching analysis of how queer theory and ‘attitude’ can push back at normalized social conceptions of all sorts. This is a vital piece of practical, yet scholarly work.» (Jean Anyon, Author, ‘Theory and Empirical Research: Toward Critical Social Explanation’)
