Sweet Butter Tea is a collection of poems that spontaneously sprang from the most personal memories and childhood recollections of exiled Tibetan Ten Phun. Since his escape into India, Ten Phun has experienced a bewildering sense of loss, harrowing loneliness, as well as lively times in a borrowed space. This volume is peppered with eclectic images of confusion, nostalgia, and the poet's deep longing to be back in his home of Tibet. "I don't know how old my heart is, I only know my five-o'clock shadow tells it all," Ten Phun writes. This book of poetry promises a dizzying journey into a young adult refugee's struggles, dreams, and musings, all packed into bite-sized verses that grasp at truth and attempt to put into words the anguish of physical, emotional, and psychological dislocation.

“Some things are better left unsaid, unless of course you find the right words.” Tiny Musings gives voice and words to those moments that get acknowledged silently. It’s a poetic nod to life and her eccentricities. Each piece captures the poetry in motion as it happens – be it the beautiful memories of togetherness in ‘Clothes Pegs’ or the magical intimacy of a conversation in ‘Over a Cup of Coffee.’ Some are thought provoking like ‘Let’s break the rules of beauty,’ as it questions and redefines the conventional premise of beauty in society while some tug at the heart strings like ‘Girlfriends’ which captures the unspoken camaraderie and sisterhood girlfriends share among themselves. ‘Here and now’ in a few lines brings you face to face with the banality of finding forevers in life. Flipping through the pages, you find yourself smiling, chuckling, longing and even reminiscing as you think about all that has gone by and all that can be. The fleeting moments find meaning, the heartbreaks find closure, the individuality gains precedence, and the absurd becomes amusing.

This powerful, timely novel in verse exposes provocative truths about periods, sex, shame, and going viral for all the wrong reasons. After school one day, Frankie, a lover of physics and astronomy, has her first sexual experience with quiet and gorgeous Benjamin—and gets her period. It’s only blood, they agree. But soon a gruesome meme goes viral, turning an intimate, affectionate afternoon into something sordid, mortifying, and damaging. In the time it takes to swipe a screen, Frankie’s universe implodes. Who can she trust? Not Harriet, her suddenly cruel best friend, and certainly not Benjamin, the only one who knows about the incident. As the online shaming takes on a horrifying life of its own, Frankie begins to wonder: is her real life over? Author Lucy Cuthew vividly portrays what it is to be a teen today with this fearless and ultimately uplifting novel in verse. Brimming with emotion, the story captures the intensity of friendships, first love, and female desire, while unflinchingly exploring the culture of online and menstrual shaming. Sure to be a conversation starter, Blood Moon is the unforgettable portrait of one girl’s fight to reclaim her reputation and to stand up against a culture that says periods are dirty.
