Howling Husky Haiku are a series of mostly Alaska-inspired haiku, many of which were written off the cuff between bouts of gardening, mushing, fishing and beekeeping, and then labored over the long Alaskan winter in the course of a year. Although these haiku do not follow the traditional syllable count and sometimes neglect the seasonal themes typical of Japanese haiku, the poet has endeavored to capture the same Zen-like awareness, crystalline imagery and insightful brevity that runs with such eloquence through the likes of Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki. In short, these haiku strive for similar ends as those of the Japanese masters, but their setting, their language, their particular brand of consciousness is always American—and often Alaskan. The howls of huskies rise over mountains and fall quiet as snow.

Risk everything for love with this #1 New York Times bestseller from Nicola Yoon • "Gorgeous and lyrical"—The New York Times Book Review What if you couldn’t touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face . . . or kiss the boy next door? In Everything, Everything, Maddy is a girl who’s literally allergic to the outside world, and Olly is the boy who moves in next door . . . and becomes the greatest risk she’s ever taken. "This extraordinary first novel about love so strong it might kill us is too good to feel like a debut. Tender, creative, beautifully written, and with a great twist, Everything, Everything is one of the best books I've read this year."—Jodi Picoult My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. Everything, Everything will make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. It's an innovative, inspiring, and heartbreakingly romantic debut novel that unfolds via vignettes, diary entries, illustrations, and more. And don’t miss Nicola Yoon's bestselling novels The Sun Is Also A Star and Instructions for Dancing.
