Kate Zambreno's genre defining manifesto reclaiming the wives and mistresses of literary modernism that inspired a generation of writers and scholars, reissued after more than a decade with a new introduction by Jamie HoodOn the last day of December 2009, Kate Zambreno, then an unpublished writer, began an online blog for her highly informed and passionate rants, and her heartfelt and melancholy portraits of the modernist 'wives and mistresses,' reclaiming the traditionally pathologised biographies of Vivienne Eliot, Jane Bowles, Jean Rhys and Zelda Fitzgerald: writers and artists themselves who served as male writers' muses only to end their lives silenced, erased and institutionalised. In Heroines, Zambreno extends the polemic into a dazzling, original work of literary scholarship. Combing theories that have dictated what literature should be and who is allowed to write it, she traces the genesis of a cultural template that consistently exiles feminine experience to the realm of the 'minor,' and diagnoses women for transgressing social bounds. 'ANXIETY: When she experiences it, it's pathological,' writes Zambreno. 'When he does, it's existential.' A book that has become its own canon, Heroines was named one of the '50 Books that define the past 5 Years in Literature' by Flavorwire, an 'Essential Feminist Manifesto' by Dazed, and one of the '50 Greatest Books by Women' in Buzzfeed.'It's kind of a book of utterances... it's beautiful and I love it'Kristen Stewart'If you thought you knew a lot about the "wives" of modernism and the various forms of silencing they suffered, Kate Zambreno's Heroines will teach you more; if you didn't know much, your mouth will fall open in enraged amazement'Maggie Nelson'A lush, lyrical feminist memoir'Laurie Penny, New Statesman'Zambreno doesn't write with the measured voice of someone who can count on being listened to, but with the wail of someone confined to a shed'Sheila Heti, London Review of Books

An informative and accessible guide to understanding childhood grief at every age, this empathetic and thoughtful guide will help caretakers to support children mourning after loss. From Dr Corinne Masur, an award-winning clinical psychologist specialising in grief and mourning, comes a necessary and impactful guide to understanding children's grief from the inside and to guiding children through loss, from the death of a parent and other family members, to the loss of friends, pets and even the family home. Dr Masur describes how to understand, help and guide children at each age and stage of development and uses her own childhood experience with loss through empathetic yet clinically informed advice. When Dr Masur was fourteen years old, her father died. Like most children and teens facing loss, she didn't know how to handle her grief, and was never encouraged to acknowledge or share what she was feeling with her family, teachers or friends. Her experience of shock and emotional paralysis around her loss is what led her to become an expert in childhood grief in order to help grieving children and to help others to support the children in their lives who have experienced loss. As a psychologist and child psychoanalyst, Dr Masur has helped many children recognise and express their feelings after loss. In How Children Grieve, Masur shares her expertise with caregivers of all kinds, giving them the tools they need to help a child or teenager to mourn, to move forward and to make meaning of terrible loss.
