What Flies Want - Poems

de Emily Perez

26,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In What Flies Want, disaster looms in domesticity: a family grapples with its members' mental health, a marriage falters, and a child experiments with self-harm. With its backdrop of school lockdown drills, #MeToo, and increasing political polarization, the collection asks how these private and public tensions are interconnected.

Last Unkillable Thing

de Emily Pittinos

26,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This collection holds a mirror to the self and in its reflection we find the elegiac and the ecological, as in 'how much of enjoying a place / is destroying it?', the worlds both domestic and natural, as in 'when the redbird strikes the window, it is me / who takes blame', a daughter 'shattered, but not without humor'.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

Adamant

de Mary Ruefle

23,78€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this refreshing volume, Mary Ruefle establishes herself as an independent voice in contemporary poetry. With an impeccable eye for metaphor and, as the volume''s title suggest, an immovable stance in the world, she emerges as a poet of powerful sensibility. A sense of wonder and sophisticated delight color the "beautiful vagueness" she speaks of, the archetypal vision where emotion dwells in things, thoughts are concrete, and truth is alive and everchanging.<br><br>Without romanticism or banality, these poems live in and of themselves; the language is allowed to breathe and work, not be worked. Ruefle knows a fundamental principle often forgotten in American poetry today, that language is smarter than the writer is. The result is an independent aesthetic that is both charged and honest.<br><br>The wisdom of the volume is in its essentiality, its precarious balance of image and thought. A careful reading of these poems allows the authority of the speaker, and of the world itself, to move us closer to our own sense of the world and of ourselves in it.

Fix

de Lisa Wells

26,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Proceeding from Helene Cixous's charge to ""kill the false woman who is preventing the live one from breathing"", The Fix forges that woman's reckoning with her violent past, with her sexuality, and with a future unmoored from the trappings of domestic life. These poems of lyric beauty and unflinching candor negotiate the terrain of contradictory desire-often to darkly comedic effect.

Tremulous Hinge

de Giannelli Adam Giannelli

27,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Rain intermits, bus windows steam up, loved ones suffer from dementia-in the constantly shifting, metaphoric world of Tremulous Hinge, figures struggle to remain standing and speaking against forces of gravity, time, and language. In these visually porous poems, boundaries waver and reconfigure along the rumbling shoreline of Rockaway or during the intermediary hours that an insomniac undergoes between darkness and dawn. Through a series of self-portraits, elegies, and Eros-tinged meditations, this hovering never subsides but offers, among the fragments, momentary constellations: "moths all swarming the / same light bulb."From the difficulties of stuttering to teetering attempts at love, from struggling to order a hamburger to tracing the deckled edge of a hydrangea, these poems tumble and hum, revealing a hinge between word and world. Ultimately, among lofting waves, collapsing hands, and darkening skies, words themselves-a stutterer's maneuvers through speech, a deceased grandfather's use of punctuation-become forms of consolation. From its initial turbulence to its final surprising solace, this debut collection mesmerizes.

Study For Necessity

de Joellen Kwiatek

26,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Kwiatek's poems emit the uncanny luminosities of the artists' worlds they refer to: those of Caspar David Friedrich, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Odilon Redon. Each is a 'token of strangeness' built with delicacy and restraint, embodying, vivifying what the poet calls the mind's 'lonesome flourish'." - Emily Wilson, judge, 2014 Iowa Poetry Prize

La Far

de Eric Linsker

25,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>How far are we from the Lake District? How far from the garden? Eric Linsker’s first book scrolls down the Anthropocene, tracking our passage through a technophilic pastoral where work and play are both forms of making others suffer in order to exist. In <i>La Far</i>, the world is faraway near, a hell conveniently elsewhere in which workers bundle Foxconn’s "rare earths" into the "frosty kits" that return us our content, but also the sea meeting land as it always has. Both are singable conditions and lead, irreversibly, to odes equally comfortable with praise and lament. The poems in <i>La Far</i> hope that by making the abstract concrete and the concrete abstract, "literalizing / a nightingale beyond / knowledge," we might construct what Wordsworth called a "Common Day," a communized life partaken of by all.</div>

Messenger

de Stephanie Pippin

23,85€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In thrilling poems of metamorphosis and birth, death and dissolution, Stephanie Pippin's debut collection returns us to a world unshorn of wildness. Delivering accident and hunger, love and grief, nature in these poems is beautiful and brutal, "a hellish magnificence" that both invites and denies the meanings we project onto it. Refusing the domesticated comfort of our usual myths, Pippin reminds us of our place as creatures among others in a world where "what isn't dead / is dying," and where the thrill of predatory flight commingles with the desperation of the prey.This mesmerizing and astonishingly assured collection offers a message as harrowing as it is essential. Faced with the hard master of necessity-"angel stinking of his own / excitement"-and bare before what Mallarm called "the horror of the forest," we are helpless, finally, to do anything to save what we love. Our sole task, these poems insist, is to look on while we can, and to love harder.

Cloud Of Ink

de L. S. Klatt

22,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 On the surface, L.S. Klatt's poems are airy and humorous - with their tales of chickens wandering the highways of Ohio and Winnebago trailers rolling up to heaven and whales bumping like watermelons in a bathtub - but just under the surface they turn disconcertingly serious as they celebrate the fluent word.

Unbeknownst

de Hanson Julie Hanson

22,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Julie Hanson's award-winning collection, Unbeknownst, gives us plainspoken poems of unstoppable candor. They are astonished and sobered by the incoming data; they are funny; they are psychologically accurate and beautifully made. Hanson's is a mind interested in human responsibility-to ourselves and to each other-and unhappy about the disappointments that are bound to transpire ("We've been like gods, our powers wasted"). These poems are lonely with spiritual longing and wise with remorse for all that cannot last."The Kindergartners" begins, "All their lives they've waited for / the yellow bus to come for them," then moves directly to the present reality: "Now it's February and the mat / is wet." Settings and events are local and familiar, never more exotic than a yoga session at the Y, one of several instances where the body is central to the report and to the net result ("I slip in and fold / behind the wheel into the driver's seat like a thin young thing: / My organs are surely glistening. This car was made for me."). These poems are intimate revelations, thinking as they go, including the reader in the progress of their thoughts.

Something Has To Happen Next

de Andrew Michael Roberts

21,20€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The poems in something has to happen next, if given the chance, might peer down inquisitively from a great height; they speak of quietness, namelessness, the reachlessness of love, the fortune of animals and their silence, apocalypse, abandonment, beginnings, and endings.Working with brevity and compression, Andrew Michael Roberts first imagines how small he can go with a poem and still maintain some sort of emotional or imagistic center. Then, released from this limitation, the rest of his playful, unexpected poems expand to fill a world with imagery, emotion, and sound.What Roberts calls "simply a book of small poems" grew out of his obsessions with time and catastrophe and love and abandonment-what is always possible, almost attained, but lost at the last minute. When something ends or when everything ends, something else must always happen next-what will it be, and who will be there to name and love and destroy it?
