In honor of Arab American Heritage Month in April, we are sharing books by Arab and Arab American authors that share their culture, history, and personal lives.

For National Poetry Month in April, we are sharing poetry collections and books about poetry by authors who have their own stories to tell. These poets delve into history, reimagine the present, examine poetry itself—from traditional poems many know and love to poems and voices that are new and original.

Congratulations to the following Knopf Doubleday authors who have been shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize for Fiction: Anne Tyler, author of A Spool of Blue Thread; Hanya Yanagihara, author of A Little Life; Tom McCarthy, author of Satin Island; and Sunjeev Sahota, author of The Year of the Runaways.
