Joan Sohn found her grandparents? 36 letters, tucked away for 65 years in a small brown paper bag. When she read them, her family?s story came alive. Of course, there were missing pieces?many of them; and so she began a long labor of love, filling in the gaps. Thanks to those letters and Sohn?s determination, we have that story ? about people who left their homes for a new start and never returned. They reinvented themselves; they changed their citizenship, their language, their customs, and even their names. 36 Letters is about separation, personal struggle, and achievement. It?s about people who landed at Ellis Island and made their way, somehow, to New York?s Lower East Side, and then to Philadelphia, where they grew and multiplied and made remarkable contributions to the city?s development. Accompanied by over 100 stunning photographs, maps and illustrations, and, of course, the letters.

Robert Lowell once remarked, "When Elizabeth Bishop's letters are published (as they will be), she will be recognized as not only one of the best, but one of the most prolific writers of our century." One Art is the magificent confirmation of Lowell's prediction. From several thousand letters, written by Bishop over fifty years—from 1928, when she was seventeen, to the day of her death, in Boston in 1979—Robert Giroux, the poet's longtime friend and editor, has selected over five hundred missives for this volume. In a way, the letters comprise Bishop's autobiography, and Giroux has greatly enhanced them with his own detailed, candid, and highly informative introduction. One Art takes us behind Bishop's formal sophistication and reserve, fully displaying the gift for friendship, the striving for perfection, and the passionate, questing, rigorous spirit that made her a great artist.

Finalist for the 2018 Minnesota Book Award A graphic designer’s search for inspiration leads to a cache of letters and the mystery of one man’s fate during World War II. Seeking inspiration for a new font design in an antique store in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota, graphic designer Carolyn Porter stumbled across a bundle of letters and was immediately drawn to their beautifully expressive pen-and-ink handwriting. She could not read the letters—they were in French—but she noticed all of them had been signed by a man named Marcel and mailed from Berlin to his family in France during the middle of World War II. As Carolyn grappled with designing the font, she decided to have one of Marcel’s letters translated. Reading it opened a portal to a different time, and what began as mere curiosity quickly became an obsession with finding out why the letter writer, Marcel Heuzé, had been in Berlin, how his letters came to be on sale in a store halfway around the world, and, most importantly, whether he ever returned to his beloved wife and daughters after the war. Marcel’s Letters is the incredible story of Carolyn’s increasingly desperate search to uncover the mystery of one man’s fate during WWII, seeking answers across Germany, France, and the United States. Simultaneously, she continues to work on what would become the acclaimed P22 Marcel font, immortalizing the man and his letters that waited almost seventy years to be reunited with his family.

In Letters Book Two, we find New York City financier, forty-year-old Perry Jackson, broken-hearted and heading home to the Hamptons. After four months of a promised one-year journey, Perry concedes that his destiny with Lucas has failed. In yet another serendipitous moment, Perry once again encounters the ethereal young man, Chad. Perry and Chad met in the beginning of Perry's journey while he searched for love and a new life without his deceased husband, Jack. Chad, sensing he was not the one, encouraged Perry to continue his search for love and the two parted ways. Does another chance meeting add up to love for Perry and Chad? Lucas Jenson, a twenty-year-old residing in Beaufort, South Carolina, hung his heart on the chance for love with Perry. The young man from the wrong side of the tracks found it difficult to imagine a life with the multi-millionaire. The differences in their lives seemed too great to overcome. With a heavy heart, Lucas gave up on love. Love had never been something he could count on. Afraid he would be left first, he told Perry he will not join him in New York. Nothing about Perry and Lucas's journey has been easy, but now they both have choices to make. Does Perry consider that Chad is the man he should have chosen? Does Lucas regret letting Perry go? What about Clint? Is Clint in love with Lucas? What circumstances ultimately put Clint's life at risk over his devotion to Lucas? And finally, what about Jack? Do dead men really tell no tales? Not exactly. Jack cannot speak, but he still has plenty to say as the story comes to the ultimate conclusion
