''Dean Burnett is the first old person who understands phones'' Eleven-year-old Dermot, quoted in The Times''A wonderfully useful book, told with Dean Burnett''s trademark wit and wisdom'' - Adam Kay on Why Your Parents Are Driving You up the Wall“Can you get off your phone/ PS5/ Xbox!? NOW!” - Your parents (probably)I bet that you and your parents argue about phones.Maybe you want one, but your parents don’t agree? Or maybe you do have a phone, but your parents think you use it too much. Or even make you leave it downstairs at night when you want to scroll before sleep.Either way, the result is: arguments. Between you and your parents. About phones.Meet brain scientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett. He’ll show you why your parents are sometimes wrong about phones (and why, annoyingly, they can be a bit right), how you can both understand them a bit better and how you can stop arguing about them. You’ll learn about:Why turning off TikTok can be so hardHow video games can change your brain for the betterHow Snapchat can make us sad (and lots of other complicated feelings)Because screens can be a good thing. And a bad thing. But they’re definitely not worth getting hung up about.

Poems reflecting on contemporary political issues, mythological origins, and the capacity for hope in the face of uncertain futures.   This collection weaves together themes of motherhood, immigration, social transformation, and interrogation. Throughout Seed Celestial, Sara R. Burnett writes haunting reflections on origins—of myth and memory, language and country, earth and mothers—as she looks to an uncertain future.  Bringing together contemporary issues of climate change, gun violence, and feminism while working from her own experience of raising a young daughter, she writes, “You were inside my body / while I was outside; / outside was everything else.” Burnett vividly renders her own origin story as an immigrant’s daughter using the myths of Demeter and Persephone. This book is a love letter to the earth the way only a mother can write it: appreciating all its faults while seeing its beauty. Burnett offers a poetry collection that is tender, and honest, akin to having an intimate conversation with a friend who tells us what we know to be true about ourselves, our twin capacities for love and violence, and what we don’t. She intertwines our violent, complicated world with the uncanny human capacity for hope and describes the awe of a world recreating itself again and again while wondering about all we lose and leave behind, especially for the next generation.  Seed Celestial is the winner of the 2021 Autumn House Press Poetry Prize, selected by Eileen Myles.
