Included in the collection are authors who either won or were nominated for the Shevchenko National Prize, Nobel Prize in Literature, Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry, BBC Ukraine literary award, and other major prizes.

🗣“Voices of Freedom: Contemporary Writing from Ukraine is a brilliant introduction to a literary tradition long overlooked in America. By presenting a mosaic of perspectives, experiences, and forms, this volume showcases the depth, diversity, and resistance of the culture Putin seeks to erase. It’s hard to imagine a more politically urgent literary project.”

– Anthony Marra, the New York Times bestselling author of The Tsar of Love and Techno and A Constellation of Vital Phenomena

En Sacando Mis Papeles, Isabel Carrasco guía a los lectores a comprender cómo es la vida rural y urbana para quienes crecen en la frontera entre República Dominicana y Haití, proporcionando una percepción valiosa de la convivencia de dos naciones vecinas. Nacida en República Dominicana de padres haitianos, fue abandonada por su madre a los cinco años y entregada a una pareja que se convirtió en su familia de acogida hasta que ella fue una adolescente. Su autobiografía narra la vida desde la niñez hasta la adultez joven en Elías Piña y Santo Domingo, y relata experiencias de lucha contra la indocumentación, el abuso infantil, la discriminación y la pobreza. En su viaje, encuentra el amor y se convierte en madre de dos niños. Escribe en detalle sobre su comprensión de la cultura, la educación, la economía, su religión y la política en ambos lados de la isla caribeña. Aunque Sacando Mis Papeles describe los desafíos que Isabel ha enfrentado, también celebra un logro increíble de una mujer con una educación de séptimo grado, quien es una escritora autodidacta y está decidida a intentar mejorar su situación socioeconómica y la de su familia por medio de la producción de esta impresionante obra.

¡El libro electrónico está disponible a reservar ahora en Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, Draft2Digital, Smashwords y Kobo!

Fecha de Lanzamiento: 28 de septiembre 2021.

The English translation for this memoir will be published in early 2022.

Around the Cul-de-sac recounts the inner workings of Sydney Lagunilla, a kid growing up in the ‘90s who views trespassing on her neighbors’ properties as doing them a favor. In this work of realistic fiction, the Central Florida native finds a way to skirt a standardized test worksheet, and in an above-ground pool, acts out the farewell floating door scene in Titanic. Sydney’s ruling passions undergo rapid shifts, occupying her time with rowboat adventures or whatever sport features in the latest (now nostalgic) family comedy. She could be catching lizards one moment, then staging a performance of the 1996 Grammy Nominees album in the next. The 16 stories are magnetic and will leave readers bemused through seriously funny and honest narration.

Around the Cul-de-sac by Christina De Paris is the inaugural work by 8th & Atlas Publishing. The book is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, Kobo, and Smashwords.

The release date is Sept. 21, 2021.
