Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers
Winner of the 2021 Kate Tufts Discovery AwardWinner of a 2020 Whiting Award in PoetryFinalist for the 2020 Lambda Literary Award in Gay PoetrySelected by Kathy Fagan as a winner of the 2018 National Poetry Series, Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers is a debut collection of poems by a dazzling geologist of queer eros.Drunktown, New Mexico, is a place where men “only touch when they fuck in a backseat.” Its landscape is scarred by violence: done to it, done on it, done for it. Under the cover of deepest night, sleeping men are run over by trucks. Navajo bodies are deserted in fields. Resources are extracted. Lines are crossed. Men communicate through beatings, and football, and sex. In this place, “the closest men become is when they are covered in blood / or nothing at all.”But if Jake Skeets’s collection is an unflinching portrait of the actual west, it is also a fierce reclamation of a living place—full of beauty as well as brutality, whose shadows are equally capable of protecting encounters between boys learning to become, and to love, men. Its landscapes are ravaged, but they are also startlingly lush with cacti, yarrow, larkspur, sagebrush. And even their scars are made newly tender when mapped onto the lover’s body: A spine becomes a railroad. “Veins burst oil, elk black.” And “becoming a man / means knowing how to become charcoal.” Rooted in Navajo history and thought, these poems show what has been brewing in an often forgotten part of the American literary landscape, an important language, beautiful and bone dense.Sculptural, ambitious, and defiantly vulnerable, the poems of Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers are coal that remains coal, despite the forces that conspire for diamond, for electricity.Additional recognition: Named a “Best Poetry Book of 2019” by Electric Literature, Entropy Mag, and Auburn AvenueNamed a “Favorite Book of 2019” by Lit HubNamed a “Best Queer Book of 2019” by BuzzFeed and Book Marks

Out of the Shadows
The long-awaited, explosive memoir by former senior intelligence official Jay Stratton, the central figure in the U.S. Government's modern investigation of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and non-human intelligent life.For over 16 years, Stratton investigated UAP and non-human intelligent life on behalf of the federal government. While serving at the Defense Intelligence Agency, Stratton learned of UAP incursions over nuclear weapon sites, leading him to co-found the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program (AAWSAP), the first official U.S. Government program to investigate UAP since the closure of the Air Force's Project Blue Book. Operating in the shadows of the intelligence community, Stratton discovered an 80-year coverup of the existence of non-human intelligent life and fought back against powerful gatekeepers who have hid the truth from the public, Congress, and even Presidents. While risking everything in pursuit of the truth, he created and led the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), the first whole-of-government investigation of UAP, forcing the nation to confront the unknown. Now, Stratton breaks his silence to provide a startling first-hand account of the shocking discoveries, encounters, challenges, and behind-the-scenes revelations that profoundly altered his understanding of humanity's place in the universe and took a disturbing toll on him and his family.A bombshell account and a definitive memoir that reads like a political thriller, Out of the Shadows is a high-stakes journey into the deepest and most significant mystery in human history.
