Chrisina no longer works at King's Books. I was born a rambler and I travel with poetry, sci-fi, and memoir books tucked inside my backpack. I also read a lot of short stories and fiction. Regardless of genre, I seek stories with strong elements of magical realism, narratives in which readers are encouraged to lose themselves in small moments of beauty and curiosity, and characters who live in the “in-between” spaces of language, culture and identity.
The poetry in this collection is sobering, honest, and dazzling for its continued starkness. It includes work by 21 poets of Native nations who storytell using powerful imagery, history and voice. [Christina]
A beautifully crafted and handy guidebook for anyone looking to expand their created-at-home repertoire. This cookbook is chock full of helpful illustrations, photos, and pro tips about fermented foods. [Christina]
Whether or not you're interested in trying psychedelics, this book will convince you they have value in helping people along paths to higher consciousness, expanding empathy, and confronting our innermost fears and hopes. [Christina]
Be still, my beating heart. This book is stunningly beautiful, filled with art and short stories narrated by animals struggling to make sense of their relationship with humans. I fell in love with this book the minute I opened it. Don't pass this book up! [Christina]
Twitterable inspiration to start and end your day. This collection of tweets (paired with art) offers small tokens of hope to drop into your pocket and carry with you throughout the day. [Christina]
