This first essay collection by the founder of the South Seattle Emerald—the Pacific Northwest’s most diverse & activist-oriented community newspaper—is sure to challenge & inspire readers to work towards a better future; to engage with the various structural impediments, social and racial, preventing a more just and equitable America. Social justice is an ideal. It’s not a reality. And while there are moments that make it feel tantalizingly close, the moment that follows often punts it right back to the far distance. Growing up black in south Seattle, journalist and essayist Marcus Harrison Green has a keen sense of exactly where and how things break down. From his own experience in the classroom and at the hands of police to his fierce dissection of the racism baked into media and journalism, Green makes poetry of the clarity that comes after long reflection. In this collection, Green bears sharp witness to the Black Lives Matter movement, his own journey into and out of religious faith, his grandmother’s lessons, his battle with bipolar disorder, human mortality, blatant hypocrisy, and much more. He shines a light on what hurts the most deeply in us: not only the brutal injustice of a world built by the powerful for the powerful, but the close proximity of that brutality to a persistent kernel of hope. Yet because there is hope, there is conviction. Green never falters in the knowledge that the struggle itself is something to tie ourselves to and define ourselves by. With astute analyses, evocative imagery, profound empathy, and the ability to laugh at it all, these essays, even with their collective weight, leave us much lighter than they found us. Long before America’s reckoning on racism and historical injustice, Marcus Harrison Green was busy peering into the nation’s psyche—and examining his own. These incisive essays, some outward looking and others tenderly personal, show why his vision of journalism as a force for social good is so suited for our times. Marcus wears his heart on his sleeve, as everyone in his beloved South Seattle knows, but as a Black man in a nation that’s only beginning to see the dignity of those who’ve been rendered powerless, he’s under no illusions about the hard work that will be required for this country face its sins and at last, make us all feel at home. These are of the chronicles of a nation wrestling with whether to reach for the best of itself, a man bearing his soul and a journalist coming to terms with his calling. ~Tyrone Beason, Journalist, Los Angeles Times Marcus Harrison Green’s incisive, big-hearted writing always stands out. He nails a high-difficulty landing every time, displaying the rare patience and empathy necessary to understand how someone can come to any point of view, while wielding the moral clarity and sociological insight that forces us to confront our own failures in facing the truth about poverty and racism. Along the way, he writes about himself with deep vulnerability in a way that illuminates not himself but the subjects of his writing, whom he clearly loves. More writers should emulate the way Green makes humanity and hope burst forth from the dispiriting statistics we see everyday. He never stops at “Why is this happening?”, instead persuading us to ask ourselves, “What are we doing about it?” ~Lawrence Lanahan, The Lines Between Us Writing is a tool of exploration, and readers of Marcus’ work get the benefit of his deep dives into family relationships, mental health, racial dynamics and many other parts of life that people leave largely unexamined because looking too closely feels perilous. Readers who go along with Marcus on his fearless journey in Readying to Rise may be inspired to look more closely at themselves and the world. ~Jerry Large, former Seattle Times columnist

For decades, New York Times best-selling author John Allen Paulos has enlightened readers by showing how to make sense of the numbers and probabilities behind real-world events, political calculations, and everyday personal decisions. Who’s Counting? features dozens of his insightful essays—original writings on contemporary issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, online conspiracy theories, “fake news,” and climate change, as well as a selection of enduring columns from his popular ABC News column of the same name. With an abiding respect for reason, a penchant for puzzles with societal implications, and a disarming sense of humor, Paulos does in this collection what he’s famous for: clarifies mathematical ideas for everyone and shows how they play a role in government, media, popular culture, and life. He argues that if we can’t critically interpret numbers and statistics, we lose one of our most basic and reliable guides to reality.
