Two men, known in medical journals as the Berlin Patients, revealed answers to a functional cure for HIV. Their cures came twelve years apart, the first in 1996 and the second in 2008. Each received his own very different treatment in Berlin, Germany, and each result spurred a new field of investigation, fueling innovative lines of research and sparking hope for the thirty-four million people currently infected with HIV. For the first time, Nathalia Holt, who has participated in some of the most fruitful research in the field, tells the story of how we came to arrive at this astounding and controversial turning point. Holt explores the two men’s stories on a personal level, looking at how their experiences have influenced HIV researchers worldwide—including one very special young family doctor who took the time to look closely at his patients—and how they responded to their medications. Based on extensive interviews with the patients and their doctors as well as her own in-depth research, this book is an unprecedented look at how scientists pursue their inquiries, the human impact their research has, and what is and is not working in the relationship between Big Pharma and medical care.

    But Ulysses (or his half brother) is but one of the beguiling guises Komunyakaa dons over the course of this densely lyrical book. Here his speaker observes a doomed court jester; here he is with Napoleon, as the emperor "tells the doctor to cut out his heart / & send it to the empress, Marie-Louise"; here he is at the circus, observing as "The strong man presses six hundred pounds, / his muscles flexed for the woman / whose T-shirt says, these guns are loaded"; and here is just a man, placing "a few red anemones / & a sheaf of wheat" on Mahmoud Darwish's grave, reflecting on why "I'd rather die a poet / than a warrior." Through these mutations and migrations and permutations and peregrinations there are constants: Komunyakaa's jazz-inflected rhythms; his effortlessly surreal images; his celebration of natural beauty and of love. There is also his insistent inquiry into the structures and struggles of power: not only of, say, king against jester but of man against his own desire and of the present against the pernicious influence of the past. Another brilliant collection from the man David Wojahn has called one of our "most significant and individual voices," The Emperor of Water Clocks delights, challenges, and satisfies.

    She's what the second world knows as a fallen angel. A feared and respected entity of the supernatural world, and a powerful one at that. She's experienced the best and worst parts of humanity on Earth, and yet she's felt not one thing, more specifically she can’t feel love, or love another. Her sentence came with a curse, one that she hasn't bothered to fight, or care about. Only looking towards one thing, going back to her home in the heavens and facing her re-trial. This all changes one afternoon when she meets Eva Pickett, a young vampire whose feed Laurel interrupts in an alleyway. When Eva tries to fight Laurel, she discovers she can't resist the draw she has towards the angel. The only thing she can think of to do is run, run from the feelings Laurel draws out in her, leaving Laurel confused. Why was she able to feel anything towards the vampire when she's been stunted with emotions for the last five hundred years? Is it possible Eva is the key to breaking her curse? Is it possible Laurel is falling in love with Eva? What happens next will send both of their worlds into upheaval, and thrust them together against their will to sort out the growing connection between them. Revelry is a Decadence will take you on an adventure filled with mystery, intrigue, romance, and a cast of characters who will leave you wanting more!
