Review: A poetβs reclamation of space
In a time when truths are currently shaped by the whims and impulsivity of the most loud and tyrannical, or only revealed between the gaps of redactions...
Veronica Corpuz reviews Joan Naviyuk Kane @naviyuk.bsky.social, _with snow pouring southward past the window_ @upittpress.bsky.social

"an exercise of semantic and syntactical calisthenics that stretches this readerβs habits of reading and meaning making"

August Wilson's American Century - Pittsburgh Review of Books
Laurence Glasco, in his new book August Wilson's American Century: Life as Art, claims August Wilson has four distinct identities: outsider, warrior, race
"These plays 'gave dignity and respect to the lives of Pittsburghβs working-class Black residents that [Wilson] carefully observed and came to value.'β

Promotional graphic for βNonviolent Responseβ, which has a lilac background. The book cover can be found to the right of the graphic, which has a white background with blue and orange text, and it displays various illustrations such as a white dove holding an olive branch in its mouth, a speech bubble with a peace symbol within it, and a hand holding a pen with a purple scroll in the background. Next to the cover image in a transparent purple box with rounded edges is a review quote by Ellen C. Carillo which reads, βa model of nonviolent response with powerful implications for teachers and others committed to empathetic engagement with writing.β To the bottom left of the quote, the dove from the cover image can be found, and the University of Pittsburgh Press logo in dark blue is beside it to the right.
βNonviolent Responseβ by Sheri Rysdam and JT Torres presents a nonviolent philosophical framework with practical methods for teachers and others, offering evidence-based methods for effective, timesaving, and motivational responses. Read more: buff.ly/Bcg31dB @upittpress.bsky.social

THE DEER
The deer, beneath the streetlight, I saw it become nothing. I saw it walk through the grass as if a minute before it walked it had been grass,
and knew
if I were wiser, I could be a deer with a man insideβ but this is not a deer, it's nearly a man but not quite man,
it's only a man beneath the streetlight.
I'm saying, elongated, thin
the adrenaline is a river, a herd of clear stones,
and my high will not decrease anymore
not like the way I surprise myself at where I've arrived.
Perhaps this is a sighting of sorts.
Perhaps this is a prayer.

Promotional graphic for "August Wilson's American Century" by Laurence A. Glasco. The graphic presents the cover image for the book on the left-hand side, which contains a black and white image of August Wilson with a notepad and pen. Next to the cover image is a white, transparent box with a review quote by John W. Miller which reads, "August Wilson belongs among Shakespeare, Goethe, and Ibsen as one of the great playwrights of all time. Laurence A. Glasco has uncovered the life and labor behind the art." Below the quotation and next to the cover image is the University of Pittsburgh Press logo in black.
"August Wilson's American Century" is out today! This book is a revealing study of Pittsburghβs influence on one of Americaβs most acclaimed playwrights and was listed by Pioneer Press (Minneapolis-St. Paul) as a most anticipated release for 2026. Read more: bit.ly/49W53Mj @upittpress.bsky.social
