Following his hero Jebediah Smith, Morgan and his Crow wife Meadowlark set off to find money and pelts in the little-known Mexican territory of California.

Low on water and food, the group finds help from the most unlikely of sources, including the thin bands of tribes who have made the desert their home. When the group does make it to California, Mexican officials are quick to take notice of the band and push them back toward the inhospitable lands of the Mojave. All the while, Morgan remembers the haunting advice given by his mentor Hannibal McKye: "Life is like a golden bear. It's magnificent, it's beautiful, and it bites." Dancing with the Golden Bear is one of Blevins' most popular titles, and newcomers to the author's work will appreciate the great research and attention to detail shown in constructing a believable, captivating look at the American West of the mid-1800s.

Dancing with the Tiger
by Lili WrightWhen 30-year-old Anna Ramsey learns that a meth-addicted looter has dug up what might be the funerary mask of Montezuma, she books the next flight to Oaxaca. Determined to redeem her father, a discredited art collector, and to one-up her unfaithful fiancé, a museum curator, Anna hurls herself headlong into Mexico's underground art world. But others are chasing the treasure as well: the shape-shifting drug lord no one can really describe; the enigmatic American expat, who keeps his art collection locked in a chapel; the former museum director who traffics stolen works, and his housekeeper--deeply religious, a gay woman in a culture of machismo, dependent on a patron she loathes; the painter Salvador on his motorcycle, complex, sensual--but with secrets of his own. Anna soon realizes that everyone is masked--some literally, others metaphorically. Indeed, Dancing with the Tiger is a splendid reminder that throughout human history, cultures have revered masks: whether in the theater or in war, for religious purposes, or to conceal identity, masks are as universal as our desire to transform ourselves, to change. Anna, without an ounce of self-pity despite traumatic losses, stands out as a heroine for our times as, traveling alone, she finds the courage to show her true face.From the Hardcover edition.

Dandarians: Poems
by Lee Ann RoripaughHailed by Ishmael Reed as &“one of our brightest talents,&” Lee Ann Roripaugh&’s fourth collection of poems maps the illusory and ephemeral connection between identities and language.Based on sources as diverse as Heian-period Japanese women writers and the world of science fiction, and drawing on her own experience as a second-generation Japanese American, Dandarians explores a series of &“word betrayals&”—English words misunderstood in transmission from her Japanese mother that came to take on symbolic ramifications in her early years. Co-opting and repurposing the language of knowledge and of misunderstanding, and dialoguing in original ways with notions of diaspora and hybrid identities, these poems demonstrate the many ways we attempt to be understood, culminating in an experience of aural awe.At once wonderfully lyrical and strikingly acute, Dandarians will further establish Lee Ann Roripaugh as one of the most important and original voices in contemporary Asian American literature.

David tells himself he is happy to be Tulip's friend, because he doesn't believe a fairy could love him and Tulip has never tried to "keep him"--as fairies refer to relationships with humans. Fairies are drawn to David, describing his great "shine," but David knows only too well how quickly fairies can forget humans, and thinks he's destined to be alone. He can't see his own brilliance or understand how desperately Tulip wants him, even if Tulip believes David can do better. But exhausted and more than a little tipsy at a Christmas party, David makes his feelings too obvious for Tulip to deny any longer. Because of a past heartbreak involving a human, Tulip is convinced someone as shiny as David could never want a "silly, stupid fairy" in his life. Now, if he wants to keep David, he'll have to be as brave as his shiny, careful human.
