"Breaking traditional boundaries of place-based writing, "Trespass" features 20 women essayists exploring complex topics of body, sexuality, gender, and race across time and place. Emerging and celebrated voices including Aimee Nezhukumatathil reclaim spaces that have always been theirs. These essays, originally published in the pages of an award-winning literary magazine, recount how women uniquely shape and are shaped by their environments, sparking new conversations and showcasing identity formation through cultural considerations."

"Best American Poetry 2018" is a powerful anthology of the most significant poems of the year, chosen by Poet Laureate of California Dana Gioia. With an unconventional poetic background, Gioia brings an insightful and eclectic eye to this collection. This year's edition is evidence that poetry is finding new readers and is still a relevant and present part of modern American culture.
