The Future Is Happy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarai, Sarah, PUBLISHER: Blazevox Books, Poetry. "With both wit and tenderness, Sarah Sarai rigorously navigates the dialectics of knowledge and not knowing, thinking and being, the fantastic and the quotidian, the spiritual and the earthy, in language that is by turns crisp and lush. These are heady, whip-smart, funny and moving poems in which time becomes fluid and vertical--high-rise pageant of art, ephemera, filigree and memory through which our physical and temporal bodies spark and fall much too quickly"--Lee Ann Roripaugh.

A sequence of story poems called "The Potchikoo Stories" recounts the life and afterlife of the questing trickster Potchikoo, echoing the wit and humanity of the inimitable, Nanapush, who appears in several of Erdrich's novels, most recently "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. Similarly, the group of poems called "The Butcher's Wife" contains the germ of Erdrich's most recent novel, "The Master Butchers Singing Club. A powerful new poem, "The Seven Sleepers," forms the core of an entire section of the book and is about the passionate search for the divine in all its forms. The final section, "Original Fire," travels through birth, ordinary life, loss, and redemption. These poems reveal that poetry emerges from what we fear most, and that memory is endurance.

Elizabeth Healy's Literary Tour of Ireland: See Ireland

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Healy, Elizabeth, PUBLISHER: Wolfhound Press (IE), The age-old Irish preoccupation with place gave rise to a whole genre of Gaelic literature devoted exclusively to place-lore. That sense has permeated Irish and Anglo-Irish literature down to the present day. Intended as a practical guide to places with which poets and novelists have been associated, and some which have given rise to legends, this lovingly written and informative book will convey to the reader a sense of enchantment that comes from a knowledge of Ireland's richly textured land and literature. Enroute, readers will encounter, perhaps rediscover, some of the world's greatest literary personalities and be rewarded by the discovery of lesser-known treasures. Extracts from poems and novels accompany the text, as well as maps, illustrations, and gorgeous color photographs, plus an extensive reading list.

Fully Empowered: A Bilingual Edition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neruda, Pablo / Reid, Alastair, PUBLISHER: Farrar Straus Giroux, An important collection that includes some of the Nobel Prize winner's own favorite poems. "The Sea" "A single entity, but no blood." "A single caress, death or a rose." "The sea comes in and puts our lives together" "and attacks alone and spreads itself and sing" "sin nights and days and men and living creatures." "Its essence-fire and cold; movement, movement." Pablo Neruda himself regarded "Fully Empowered" -- which first appeared in Spanish in under the title Plenos Poderes -- as a particular favorite, in part because it came out of a most fruitful period in his life. These thirty-six poems vary from short, intense lyrics to characteristic Neruda odes to magnificent meditations on the office of poet, including poems that would undoubtedly claim a place in any selection of Neruda's greatest work. "The People" ("El Pueblo"), about the state of the working man in Chile's past and present, and the most celebrated of Neruda's later poems, completes this reflective, graceful collection.
