This is a book about trial and error. It is poetry full of my thoughts and concerns. My love and anger. My sadness and triumph. These poems are the journeys and stand-stills in my life. They are the epitome of a woman rediscovering herself over and over again. It is an undefined, unorganized autobiography of a woman figuring out the nooks and crannies of the wide expanse of emotions and experiences yet to be fully understood.

""There was no planning for this book. I sat down, and I spat words out on a digital page and somehow, Word Vomit was created. I chose the title Word Vomit because, well, it's literal. Everytime I sit down to compile poems, I realize that I'm a terrible writer and should just give up and go to bed. So I didn't think, I just did. I hope you like it, cause yikes this is terrifying.

""A collection of poems that are the epitome of teenage angst. Varying between themes of mental health, relationships and death, these poems are a peek into the inner workings of a deranged, peabrain. I hope some of you can relate to these feelings of misery, and we can wallow together.""

A beautifully packaged edition of one of García Márquez's most beloved novels, with never-before-seen color illustrations by the Chilean artist Luisa Rivera and an interior design created by the author's son, Gonzalo García Barcha. In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs—yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.

Twenty-one writers answer the call for literature that addresses who we are by understanding where we are--where, for each of them, being in some way part of academia. In personal essays, they imaginatively delineate and engage the diverse, occasionally unexpected play of place in shaping them, writers and teachers in varied environments, with unique experiences and distinctive world views, and reconfiguring for them conjunctions of identity and setting, here, there, everywhere, and in between.
