- Love in lowercase / by Miralles, Francesc,1968-author.(CARDINAL)347403; Wark, Julie,translator.(CARDINAL)612690;
An internationally bestselling romantic comedy for fans of The Rosie Project, about a language-loving bachelor and the cat that opens his eyes to life s little pleasures When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year s Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barcelona apartment and refuses to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray, brindle-furred cat, leads Samuel from the comforts of his favorite books, foreign films, and classical music to places he s never been (next door) and to people he might never have met (his neighbor Titus, with whom he s never exchanged a word). Even better, Mishima leads him back to the mysterious Gabriela, whom he thought he d lost long before. In the spirit of The Solitude of Prime Numbers and The Guest Cat, Love in Lowercase is a charming and uplifting novel about how one man, thanks to a persistent cat-turned-catalyst, awakens to the importance of the little things in life and discovers that sometimes love is hiding in the smallest characters. A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up and cheered as I read the last page. Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail.- Subjects: Fiction.; Friendship; Interpersonal relations; Friendships.;

- Polishing the glass storm : a sequence / by Soniat, Katherine,author.(CARDINAL)843539;
"In her eighth collection of poetry, Polishing the Glass Storm, Katherine Soniat constructs a riveting sequence of verse that explores how archetype can expand both personal vision and narrative perspective as we try to polish our experiences into an understanding of shared commonality. The four elements of water, fire, earth, and air offer material substance, as well as a backdrop for archetype to engage with the myriad roles played by terrain and humanity across the globe. Love occurs repeatedly in many like patterns, with every lover an archetype because of similarities in experience. Likenesses collect and multiply. In poems that construct a linguistic web between the metaphysical and material realms, Polishing the Glass Storm reminds us of the many ways in which language can unite otherwise frail connections between vision and experience"--- Subjects: Poetry.; American poetry;
