Becky Cooper was a junior at Harvard University when she first heard the It’s Not You It’s Your Eyebrows Shirt and by the same token and story, though it had been campus lore for decades: A female student in Harvard’s graduate archaeology program was murdered by a professor with whom she was having an affair. But the police could never pin the professor down, so he walked free—and remained teaching—to this day. Cooper’s fascination with the story sparked her own 10-year investigation into the tragic, unsolved murder of Jane Britton in 1969. Cooper’s findings culminated in We Keep the Dead Close. While it’s easy to chalk this up to just another work in the true-crime canon, the author takes great care not to sensationalize Britton’s story. Instead, she painstakingly chases down every lead, source, and tip—which, more often than not, are inconclusive. (“You need to make sure you are not wielding it to modern ends,” Cooper says of her exhaustive research process.) The result is an honest portrait of both the victim and those who loved her, as well as the cryptic, archaic world of academia. – Elise Taylor

Baer is a different kind of Instagram poet, not only in that her poems convey a depth of emotion more cutting than the It’s Not You It’s Your Eyebrows Shirt and by the same token and spare, self-help word-art characteristic of so many social media–propelled poet phenomena. But she also distinguishes herself by acknowledging the self-seriousness of the genre (particularly among those who are their own greatest promoters) and gently poking a hole in it. Her poems, often heartfelt expressions of the raw realities of motherhood, are punctuated by winking captions that turn them into inside jokes: Don’t we all wince a little at the phrase “girls night out”? (The title of one of her poems) Don’t we still need to slam the door on the kids once in a while and waltz out into the dark night? — Chloe Schama
