 stock image, actual book may vary This lively and informative new title was originally inspired by the author's Italian mother and her struggles with the vagaries of the English language. Over the years the author has tried to correct her attempts and explain why the word she has chosen is incorrect, only to be baffled herself by the lack of logic within those explanations. English is full of contradictions and peculiarities not counting such dull grammatical inconsistencies as 'i before e except after c', which are really no fun at all and hoodwinks us into believing one thing while meaning something quite different. In English, all is not what it seems and with this book the author has brought these illogical oddities to the fore. Questions of spelling, pronunciation or the blatantly nonsensical are illustrated through clever visual representations that are created entirely through artfully manipulated typography. heteronyms and introduces the 'antigram' demonstrating how the swift shuffle of certain letters can create words that entirely contradict the first: honestly becomes on the sly, earliest becomes rise late and, fabulously, Elvis lives . Monachino goes on to demand an explanation from all those tricky little words that are spelt the same and pronounced the same, but yet have utterly different meanings, while highlighting a few of life's petty pleonasms and showing off some quite excellent tautologies. A gaggle of one-word oxymorons shines the spotlight on words that harbour contradictory words within them and the final section provides a note on inadvisable hyphenation, which is a useful disco-very, but perhaps not the best place to beg-in. Because of the linguistic nature of this title there will be a American English edition.

 stock image, actual book may vary Collier Nogues lyrical debut collection, On the Other Side, Blue, shows us a world steeped in loss and rich with the love that survives it. If you think you ll cry, love, let s not both of us, not here, Nogues writes as she explores how to endure grief a grief that nestles into the hearts of these poems and refuses to leave. Everything in this collection exists in terms of its relationship to the deceased: No one loves me like your mother, now that my mother s gone. The speaker, too, struggles with her identity in the wake of such grief: Widow echo there is no proper name for the daughter left without a mother.
