Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha.

With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother--a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed--Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people.

Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own.

Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.",{"_817":836,"_819":846,"_790":847},{"_817":836,"_819":849,"_790":1041},"Counterpoint Press",{"_817":836,"_819":824,"_790":1043},"Trade Paper",{"_817":836,"_819":854,"_790":855},{"_817":836,"_819":1046,"_790":1047},"language","English",{"_817":836,"_819":857,"_790":1049},"MEMOIRS; INDIGENOUS PEOPLES",{"_817":836,"_819":860,"_790":1051},"2023-03-07",{"_817":836,"_819":863,"_790":1053},"240",{"_817":866,"_819":724,"_790":867},{"_817":866,"_819":872,"_790":875},{"_817":866,"_819":874,"_790":875},{"_817":866,"_819":880,"_790":1058},"26/08/2024",{"_817":866,"_819":885,"_790":1060},"43.0",{"_817":866,"_819":890,"_790":888},{"_817":892,"_819":893,"_790":1063},"Indigenous People,Literary Biography",{"_817":892,"_819":724,"_790":1065},"Indigenous People;Literary Biography",{"_817":892,"_819":897,"_790":1067},"INDIGE,LITBIO",{"_817":892,"_819":901,"_790":1069},"INDIGE;LITBIO",{"_817":892,"_819":903,"_790":1071},"NON FICTION,LITERARY BIOGRAPHY",{"_817":892,"_819":909,"_790":1073},"NON FICTION;LITERARY BIOGRAPHY",{"_817":892,"_819":911,"_790":1075},"NON FICTION,BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR",{"_817":892,"_819":915,"_790":1077},"NON FICTION;BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR",{"_817":892,"_819":917,"_790":918},{"_817":892,"_819":920,"_790":1080},"NON FICTION;NON FICTION",{"_817":892,"_819":922,"_790":923},{"_817":892,"_819":927,"_790":923},{"_767":1084},[1085],{"_770":109,"_771":-5,"_123":1086,"_203":1087,"_781":1091,"_787":1092,"_17":754,"_791":1094,"_793":1095},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/44031222644933",{"_774":1088,"_776":777,"_123":1089,"_763":1019,"_779":1090},"Red Paint: The Ancestral Autobiography of a Coast Salish Punk Cover Image","gid://shopify/ProductImage/35768894357701",1277,{"_783":784,"_785":1060},[1093],{"_750":751,"_790":754},"9781640095885",{"_795":1096},[1097,1100],{"_798":1098},{"_800":36,"_126":1099},{"_750":341},{"_798":1101},{"_800":109,"_126":1102},{"_750":722},{"_123":1104,"_17":1105,"_735":1106,"_761":1107,"_814":1109,"_765":1167},"gid://shopify/Product/8436853768389","Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater: Essays on Crafting","curse-of-the-boyfriend-sweater-essays-on-crafting",{"_763":1108},"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0625/6679/3413/files/978-1-250-09563-3.jpg?v=1759194574",[1110,1111,1113,1114,-5,1116,1117,1118,1120,1122,1124,1126,1127,1129,1130,1131,-5,1132,1134,1136,-5,-5,1137,-5,1138,1139,-5,1140,-5,1142,-5,1144,1146,-5,1148,1150,-5,1152,1154,-5,1156,1158,-5,1160,1162,-5,1163,1164,-5,1166],{"_817":818,"_819":17,"_790":1105},{"_817":818,"_819":821,"_790":1112},"OKUN ALANNA",{"_817":818,"_819":824,"_790":825},{"_817":818,"_819":827,"_790":1115},"FLATBK",{"_817":818,"_819":833,"_790":1028},{"_817":836,"_819":837,"_790":838},{"_817":836,"_819":17,"_790":1119},"The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater",{"_817":836,"_819":1033,"_790":1121},"Essays on Crafting",{"_817":836,"_819":821,"_790":1123},"Alanna Okun",{"_817":836,"_819":844,"_790":1125},"

The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater is a memoir about life truths learned through crafting.

People who craft know things. They know how to transform piles of yarn into sweaters and scarves. They know that some items, like woolen bikini tops, are better left unknit. They know that making a hat for a newborn baby isn't just about crafting something small but appreciating the beginnings of life, which sometimes helps make peace with the endings. They know that if you knit your boyfriend a sweater, your relationship will most likely be over before the last stitch.

Alanna Okun knows that crafting keeps her anxiety at bay. She knows that no one will ever be as good a knitting teacher as her beloved grandmother. And she knows that even when we can't control anything else, we can at least control the sticks, string, and fabric right in front of us.

Okun lays herself bare and takes readers into the parts of themselves they often keep hidden. Yet at the same time she finds humor in the daily indignities all crafters must face (like when you catch the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome and can't possibly finish the second in a pair). Okun has written a book that will speak to anyone who has said to themselves, or to everyone within earshot, \"I made that.\"

Michael Korda, the best-selling author of Hero and Alone, tells the story of the First World War not in any conventional way but through the intertwined lives of the soldier poets who came to describe it best, and indeed to symbolize the war's tragic arc and lethal fury.

His epic narrative begins with Rupert Brooke, \"the handsomest young man in England\" and perhaps its most famous young poet in the halcyon days of the Edwardian Age, and ends five years later with Wilfred Owen, killed in action at twenty-five, only one week before the armistice. With bitter irony, Owen's mother received the telegram informing her of his death on November 11, just as church bells tolled to celebrate the war's end.

Korda's dramatic account, which includes anecdotes from his own family history, not only brings to life the soldier poets but paints an unforgettable picture of life and death in the trenches, and the sacrifice of an entire generation. His cast of characters includes the young American poet Alan Seeger, who was killed in action as a private in the French Foreign Legion; Isaac Rosenberg, whose parents had fled czarist anti-Semitic persecution and who was killed in action at the age of twenty-eight before his fame as a poet and a painter was recognized; Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon, whose friendship and friendly rivalry endured through long, complicated private lives; and, finally, Owen, whose fame came only posthumously and whose poetry remains some of the most savage and heartbreaking to emerge from the cataclysmic war.

As Korda demonstrates, the poets of the First World War were soldiers, heroes, martyrs, victims, their lives and loves endlessly fascinating--that of Rupert Brooke alone reads like a novel, with his journey to Polynesia in pursuit of a life like Gauguin's and some of his finest poetry written only a year before his tragic death. Muse of Fire is at once a portrait of their lives and a narrative of a civilization destroying itself, among the rubble, shadows, and the unresolved problems of which we still live, from the revival of brutal trench warfare in Ukraine and in the Middle East.

From the No.1 bestselling author of The Shepherd's Life, an unforgettable story of friendship, redemption and a life-changing voyage of discovery on a remote Norwegian island

How far do you have to go to find yourself?

One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on.

Back at home, Rebanks couldn't stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly - and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island.

This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold.

Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.
