It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

One Secret Thing by Sharon Olds
	Erica Reichert, July 07, 2010 Sharon Olds' collections of poetry are always amazing, technically stellar, emotionally rich, and completely accessible. This collection is not quite as amazing as The Unswept Floor. The war poems are politically needed and right on target but leave something to be desired in execution. However, the poems chronicling the process undergone as she loses her mother are everything I could ever expect of such a masterful and seasoned poet. Truly amazing. All told, I still want to be Sharon Olds when I grow up.

Methland by Nick Reding
	Erica Reichert, July 02, 2010 ~Methland: The Death and Life of an American Small Town~ is a very interesting read. I especially appreciated that the author connects the consolidation of union-busting food and agricultural big business and the business lobbying of big pharma with the deterioration of small towns in the U.S. Midwest and the proliferation of meth manufacture and sales. This is a must-read for anyone interested in rural American communities, labor and the economy, drug epidemics, and social policy.

Women's Experiences with Hiv/AIDS: An International Perspective by Long, Lynellyn D.
	Erica Reichert, April 17, 2009 A fantastic overview of women's experiences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic from a more global perspective. Although slightly dated, still well worth reading.

Sexed Work: Gender, Race, and Resistance in a Brooklyn Drug Market by Lisa Maher
	Erica Reichert, April 17, 2009 With Sexed Work, Lisa Maher provides a stellar ethnography of female sex workers and drug users in a skid-row Bronx neighborhood. Furthermore, Maher presents an insuperable treatment of her subjects' complicated lives that balances their own agency with the context in which they make decisions. A top-notch work of feminist criminology and ethnography.
