A Young Adult Contemporary Fiction Novel: 
Proceeds from Kitchen of My Heart are donated to national food banks.\nWhat would you risk to change the recipe of your life? 
Seventeen-year-old J’aime McWilliams is a wannabe cook with zero kitchen skills and chef dreams that are bigger than her food pantry ingredients. Food scarcity is real for her; she lives each day not knowing where her next meal is going to come from.\nAfter the death of J’aime’s chronically ill mom, and running from debt collectors, her dad drags her from Chicago to Hannaville, Missouri. It’s a tiny rural town with a new casino, and they both snag jobs at the Silver Dollar Casino Buffet. J’aime is just a server, so she practices her cooking skills at home. When she burns through her last saucepan, J’aime realizes her chef fantasy requires real chef training. She spots the fierce chopping techniques of eighteen-year-old Robert Rios. Robert’s family owns a popular restaurant, but he secretly longs to run his own food truck. Hiding out in an abandoned Home EC room, they invent new recipes, fueling their desire for food (and each other).\nTo make their chef dreams come true, J’aime suggests they enter a Food Network contest. Taking this step together stirs up chaos and consequences for her and for Robert. J’aime must face hard truths about her family and learn that no matter what life dishes up, we all have the inner-strength to keep our hearts full.

Poetry. "There are writers who don't split head &amp; heart, and there's at least one who works right in the tension of that tension: Stephanie Young. Look for her new book URSULA OR UNIVERSITY to take us well away from the split, even as she is pulled into it. The book works with feeling, fact, and miltant action &amp; reflection."—T.C. Marshall If I had not been with my friends in the auditorium and bookstore and art space, how could I have known anything about the way they sit in chairs, or lean forward while listening, how could I know the way their hands hold a pen or move across the pages of a notebook? What was my hysterical mode of naming names if not a demonstration of the decisive weakness in my sentiment that the community existed, that I existed within it? What group? What was I, who were you, the mostly leftist poets I am and hang out with? Who do I leave out when I say mostly white? Mostly middle class? Which is it? Is that even true? Is the piece about self-involvement, or is it just self-involved? And shouldn't you be able to tell which it is? Was it always so? In the archive of my enthusiasms? Is it even possible to move the university reading series off campus? Does that sound naïve? Where was I? Was I at work? Was I reloading the page, clicking for mobile uploads on facebook, looking for images from the rally? Was I too tired? Was my heart heavy? Was I watching the news? Was I railing at the screens, the local affiliates, diagrams representing police on the move with white x's, protestors with yellow o's, circled, surrounded, so like the play by play illustrations of football? What did I do in the fall of 2010 anyways? What's real time? I kept getting tangled in these local arguments about the academy that showed up around both conferences, kept shouting stuff about spreadsheets, or muttering to myself, BUT I'M LIKE YOU, in the office 9-5, two things in my job, administrator and adjunct, feet snagged in these arguments, who were they even for? Was that it? I'd sit at the keyboard, hands to my head, what was I doing? What did it mean to take up authority? To slough it off? I called my friend on the phone immediately, did you feel that? Is the joke about misogyny, or is it just misogynist? And shouldn't you be able to tell which it is? What is this failure I'm writing, if not that which partakes of the never-ending self-criticism that the management of avant-garde groups more and more visibly engages in? And then we argued about this, what is and isn't action, how can it be separated from language? Is it really now or never-explosive time? Or deceptive time? Time in advance of itself (rushing forward)? How could it have been otherwise? Had it only been a year?

Poetry. "PICTURE PALACE gives an old story a new language: girl grows up in church, thinks she can leave, but then years later realizes that despite all the things she's done to get out that she is still captive. That the girl sees this fact through the words and images of others is what makes Stephanie Young's first book since TELLING THE FUTURE OFF something so new, so moving, so resonant with connective tissue that to be so caught feels like responsibility and also liberation"—Juliana Spahr.

Picture Palace

In Girum Imus Nocte et Consumimur Igni

A book of unruly love poems about complicated sexuality, precarity, and kinship Working from the sticky interface of property and sex, Stephanie Young takes up the question of passing when narrow definitions of family on offer by the law and capitalist social relations leave out so much. With a cast of characters that includes lovers and exes, Troilus and Cressida, Van Morrison and the Grateful Dead, Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala, Pat Parker and Judy Grahn, the orca Tilikum and his captors, Pet Sounds is at once a book of confessional economics, music criticism disguised as poetry, and a complicated coming out story. These poems pulse with the pleasures and grief of making a home inside structures that don’t fit―on land whose value climbs ever upward in the frenzy of speculation.
