Ars Poeticas

de Juliana Spahr

~~20,16€~~ 16,13€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The 2026 Pulitzer Prize Winner in PoetryDuring the time of an increasingly powerful alt-right which was also the time when species extinction was ever increasing, Juliana Spahr sat down to read Brecht. She was looking for an answer to Brecht's question about the dark times, about whether there will also be singing during the dark times. The answer that Brecht provides is that yes, that poets will sing of the dark times. In the six ars poeticas that Spahr writes, she sings of the dark times but also of coral, the pop song's possible liberation, and the love of comrades. She writes not only of the rich history of what politics and poetry have done with each other, but what they might yet do together. [Sample Poem]from ARS POETICA 1: CORAL To write poetry after Castle Bravo. Then to write poetry after 1500 feet. After high-quality steel frame buildings not completely collapsed, except all panels and roofs blown in. After 2,000 feet. After reinforced concrete buildings collapsed or standing but badly damaged. After 3,500 feet. After church buildings completely destroyed. After brick walls severely cracked. After 4,400 feet. After 5,300 feet. After roof tiles bubbled and melted. After 6,500 feet. After mass distortion of large steel buildings. To write the Cold War and doves. The Cold War and tapeworms. The Cold War and sails of ships. The Cold War and the steel of bridges. To write poetry after that. To write in a world with few nutrients, one that rocks back and forth. The same beginning in both the sea and the land. To write poetry that knows a hard, cup-shaped skeleton. And then poetry that knows the long, stinging tentacles capturing. Knows the water. The Atlantic and the Pacific. The connections between. The one moving into the other. To develop poetry in the stomach that then exits through the mouth which is the anus. To write poetry in the blue that is the absence of green. Light penetration. Whorls of tentacles. The slime earth too. Hunters and farmers. Shallow water. Few nutrients. High fecundity. Rapid growth. Multiarmed morphology and tube feet. To write tube feet. To write the exact place. Seaward slope place. Sea terrace place. Algal ridge place. Coral algal zone place. Seaward reef flat place. Islet or interisland reef crest place. Lagoon reef flat place.

The Museum Of Unnatural Histories

de Annie Wenstrup

~~13,44€~~ 10,75€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This extraordinary debut poetry collection by Dena'ina poet Annie Wenstrup delicately parses personal history in the space of an imagined museum. Outside the museum, Ggugguyni (the Dena'ina Raven) and The Museum Curator collect discarded French fries, earrings, and secretsor as the curator explains, together they curate moments of cataclysm. Inside the museum, their collection is displayed in installations that depict the imagined Indigenous body. Into this "distance between the learning and the telling," Wenstrup inserts The Curator and her sukdu'a, her own interpretive text. At the heart of the sukdu'a is the desire to find a form that allows the speaker's story to be heard. Through love letters, received forms, and found text, the poems reclaim their right to interpret, reinvent, and even disregard artifacts of their own mythos. Meticulously refined and delicately crafted, they encourage the reader to "decide/who you must become."[Sample Poem]Ggugguyni in the Museum Parking Lot I watch her crow. Not as a crow crows but as herself. She's not here for the art. She's here for the minivans that devourdiaper bags, car seats, children. She waits for the doors to retract and expel fruit, Goldfish, and fries. Free for the taking.She scavenges in lurching, crab-like steps. Like me, she won't appear human here. While her legs bring her from one deliciousscrap to another, I work my own inventory. Once my parents named me Swift Raven a real Indian Princess name. I flew unblinded, my hair in a blue-black braid down my back. Now, I'm ungainly, more harpy than girl. My mouth, a curvecalling for carrion. I'm not here for the art. I'm here for the mirrors, here to unpair earrings and unclasp foil from gum. My beakready to unbind carapace from quiver. Like Ggugguyni, I'm a scavenger lurching from one disaster to another. See how we curate cataclysms' aftermath. While we work, Ggugguyni tells me a story. Once, my grandfather said, a long time agothere was a raven. He opened a door and it was day. Then he drew his wing shut. What Ggugguyni didn't say, but what I heard: oncehe closed the door and it was night. Today I'm telling you this story instead: my mouth is a comma, my mouth is exclamation,my mouth is my body holding open the door. Witness my body create day. See how the light appraises my collection. See how the sunlight exposes how shadow bleached everything white.

Mahogany

de Erica Lewis

~~18,54€~~ 14,83€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 mahogany takes its name from the dark wood prized for its durability, workability, and elegant look, and from the Diana Ross movie, whose theme song asks if what lies ahead is what you really want. This book is the third in a trilogy, and like the first two books it is steeped in pop music. Each poem here takes its title from a line of a Diana Ross and The Supremes song, as well as songs from Diana Ross'' solo career. Short lines flow down the page like postmodern psalms, connecting dailyness to timelessness, merging the historical and the beloved through reverence for family, music, and the life we actually live. mahogany is a lament for the passing of time and unimaginable loss, and at the same time it models the daily search for joy, and the deep shine that can arise from the darkest times.[sample poem]i''m like a woman who once knew splendor* sometimes i feel like the pink panther all naked and pink lost in the morass of do the best you can today and nigga heal thy self our end of winter spirits break like old tibetan snow i remember you was conflicted and i found myself alone here on my ancient hurt the disquieting hum of living history dear god, please put my head above my heart we can only be together if the stories are told plain face same instrument just a couple of coke bottles full of gasoline like god and rain is a waste of time my mother used to clean houses as a child some days i can barely get out of bed in my mind she''s like diana ross scrubbing the white lady''s stairs in lady sings the blues except prettier and with green eyes i''ve just been living off of cough drops and water and anger just sitting in the whole foods parking lot eating pineapple i am literally the definition of "hot mess" pain changes everything somebody come and pick up my limp body off the ground i am dying a slow ohio death we miss you starman it''s our first sunrise of the burn* "dark side of the world"erica lewis

Selected Poems Of Calvin C. Hernton

de Calvin C. Hernton

~~14,36€~~ 11,49€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume promises to be the definitive guide to Calvin C. Hernton's unparalleled poetic career, re-introducing readers to a major voice in American poetry. Hernton was a cofounder of the Umbra Poets Workshop; a participant in the Black Arts Movement, R. D. Laing's Kingsley Hall, and the Antiuniversity of London; and a teacher at Oberlin College who counted amongst his friends bell hooks, Toni Morrison, and Odetta. As a pioneer in the field of Black Studies, Hernton developed a theoretical and practical pedagogy with lasting impact on generations of students. He may be best known as an anti-sexist sociologist, following in the footsteps of W.E.B. Du Bois, but Hernton viewed himself, above all, as a poet. This volume includes a generous selection of Hernton's previously published poems, from classics like the often anthologized "The Distant Drum" to the visionary epic The Coming of Chronos to the House of Nightsong, reprinted in full for the first time since 1964, alongside uncollected and unpublished material from the Calvin C. Hernton papers at Ohio University, a new critical introduction, and detailed notes, chronology, and bibliography.[sample poem]The Distant DrumI am not a metaphor or symbol. This you hear is not the wind in the trees. Nor a cat being maimed in the street. I am being maimed in the street It is I who weep, laugh, feel pain or joy. Speak this because I exist. This is my voice These words are my words, my mouth Speaks them, my hand writes. I am a poet. It is my fist you hear beating Against your ear.

Against The Evidence - Selected Poems, 1934–1994

de David Ignatow

~~18,54€~~ 14,83€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 For over half a century, David Ignatow has crafted spare, plain, haunting poetry pf working life, urban images, and dark humor. The poetic heir of Whitman and William Carlos Williams, Ignatow is characteristically concerned with human mortality and human alienation in the world: the world as it is, defined by suffering and despair, yet at crucial times redeemed by cosmic vision and shared lives. His development as a poet is chronicled in Against the Evidence, title of the poem in part quoted above and meant by Ignatow as the metaphor for the whole body of his work.Where his previous collections have been organized thematically, Ignatow here arranges his poems "according to the decade in which they were written#8230;returning each to its chronological order." Against the Evidence charts the evolution of his themes from the earliest origin in the Thirties to their present extraordinary manifestation in a variety of poetic forms and modes.

Shades

de Heather Mchugh

~~17,21€~~ 13,77€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Shades is a book of shadow and light cast between trees and sun, between day and room, between life and death. It acknowledges endings as beginnings; it offers compassion and tenderness, searching for hope in the richness of nature; it seeks the same resources within the human being.Heather McHugh's companion volume to To the Quick (Wesleyan 1987) continues the music and brilliance characteristic of her work but moves more deeply into the metaphysical. She writes in paradox, with serious wit and intensity, the crafted language of "stitches in hand and birds in time"; "We part/ before we part; indeed,/ we part before we meet&#8230;" She studies "going matched with coming." She begins with a series of elegies that bring sexuality and death into brutal juxtaposition. Living and dying are the occasions of these poems, the soul the ultimate concern. This poetry takes to heart the fundamental strangeness of being.

Outlandish Blues

de HonoréE Fanonne Jeffers

~~17,21€~~ 13,77€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Winner of the Harper Lee Award (2018)Fierce and sensual, the poems in Outlandish Blues merge everyday speech with a shimmering lyricism and burst from the page into song. Honorée Fanonne Jeffers sees the blues, what she terms the "shared 'blue notes,''' as an important intersection between the secular and the divine, and between the various African American vernacular traditions, from spirituals to jazz. Part Nina Simone, part Bessie Smith, her poems are filled with a sweaty honesty, moving from the personal to the collective experience. This movement is often accomplished through the use of personae, concentrated here in a stunning series of poems on the Biblical figures of Hagar and Sarah. Whether about a contemporary domestic scene, a slave ship, or Aretha Franklin, these are poems that speak to the soul of experience.

Fortress

de Brenda Hillman

~~17,21€~~ 13,77€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Winner of the Commonwealth Club Book Award, Silver Medal for Poetry (1990)In the title poem "Fortress", the medieval walled castle is the stronghold in which the family dwells. There are stories here of people in the "fortresses" of the self, the city, or the natural world. All these poems have in common a lyrical approach to solitude ("the only protection / against death/ was to love solitude") and an ironical vision for which love of beauty and the longing for the world are the cure. Hillman combines the imagistic with narrative; in her poems lyricism wars with irony; the solitary noticing consciousness is in control – because the observed world seems beautiful to the observer, great joy is possible despite the sense of difficulty or sorrow. The language here is rich and elegant. Truth is relentlessly addressed.

The The Spaces Between Birds - Mother/Daughter Poems, 1967–1995

de Sandra Mcpherson

~~15,89€~~ 12,71€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In 1967, Sandra McPherson's daughter Phoebe was born with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. In The Spaces Between Birds, McPherson collects poems from six of her published books as well as new poems, uncollected poems, and poems written under a pseudonym, that draw on her experiences as a mother to Phoebe. Representing 28 years of work, these poems describe the voyage-both wrenching and exhilarating-on which mother and daughter embarked. Interspersed are poems by Phoebe, offering an illuminating and often searing counterpoint to those of her mother. The poems poignantly evoke the world created by autism, providing a rare sense of an inner life that has long been unapprehendable, and detailing the intimacy and ultimate alienness of relations even between mother and daughter, and even between word and meaning.

As the title suggests, the theme of relationships, both dark and erotically-charged, emerges here as Rudman's focus.
