Story1
Paret lay on the ground, quivering gently, a small froth on his mouth. The house doctor jumped into the ring. He knelt. He pried Paret's eyelid open. He looked at the eyeball staring out. He let the lid snap shut. He reached into his satchel, took out a needle, jabbed Paret with a stimulant. Paret's back rose in a high arch. He writhed in real agony. They were calling him back from death. One wanted to cry out, "Leave the man alone. Let him die."

This book will leave you with grins that you did not know you had within. Questions you didn't know you wanted the answers to. Answers that you didn't know had questions for them. Tears that you thought were held behind walls made of diamonds. Unable to break. To Put It Into Words, this book is an emotional nuclear bomb that is waiting for you to set off. I went from a musical theater kid to the cringe kid on TikTok. The “Imma slide in” to my “divorce cake” idea. Now it’s poetry. Regardless of what genre. I always want to make people feel. To feel seen, heard, safe, understood, or loved.

True crime, memoir, and ghost story, Mean is the bold and hilarious tale of Myriam Gurba’s coming-of-age as a queer, mixed-race Chicana. Blending radical formal fluidity and caustic humor, Gurba takes on sexual violence, small towns, and race, turning what might be tragic into piercing, revealing comedy. This is a confident, intoxicating, brassy book that takes the cost of sexual assault, racism, misogyny, and homophobia deadly seriously.
