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.

37 Poems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sekou, Lasana M., PUBLISHER: House of Nehesi, Poetry. African Diaspora Studies. Lasana M. Sekou's 37 POEMS was written in China while the St. Martin poet was a visiting fellow at Asia's first International Writers' Workshop () in Hong Kong and Beijing. Coming from a 37-square-mile Caribbean island, Sekou has been steadily reaching readers in the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia through his writing and performances. Readers who think they know his poetic style will be pleasantly surprised at his streamlined use of language in 37 POEMS, which makes the collection even more potent than Sekou's previous release, THE SALT REAPER, which predates 37 POEMS by just a few months.

Charles Simic: Selected Early Poems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simic, Charles, PUBLISHER: George Braziller, When this selection of Charles Simic's work first appeared, it was hailed as "easily the best volume of poetry published in .... Simic] is one of the wisest poets of his generation, and one of the best".* For this new edition of his selected poems, Simic has added twenty-eight poems and extensively revised others, making this the most complete collection available of his early work. In the spare, haunting vision of these poems, the familiar takes on a disturbing, often sinister, presence. A fork "resembles a bird's foot/Worn around the cannibal's neck" and a bird's chirp is "Like a match flickering / In a new grave". Life's horrors -- violence, hunger, poverty, illness -- lurk unnervingly in the background. And yet, despite the horror, a sense of wonder pervades these poems, transforming the ordinary world into a mysterious place of unknowable forces. Classic displays of the economy and grace of Simic's work, these poems occupy an established place in American poetry.

Notebook M

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Savigny, Gillian, PUBLISHER: Insomniac Press, Gillian Savigny 's Notebook M imagines what scientific creativity might accomplish if given the space to play, free of the burden of empirical proof and the need to control meaning. Inspired by Charles Darwin 's own Notebook M, in which he brought his scientific sensibility towards decidedly unscientific notions of metaphysics, morals, imagination, and expression, in this collection the poet dons a lab coat and brings together the techniques and procedures of poetry and science. The result is a remarkably accomplished first collection of poetry. Natural selection becomes a technique to pull poems from Darwin 's prose, in a series of found poems. Metaphor becomes an experiment a way of testing hypotheses about the nature of being and seeing. Savigny manipulates the lyric mode to address issues pertinent to both poets and scientists: issues of authorship, originality, copyright, and value. Invested with wonder, mystery, wit, and pathos, these poems strain against their own procedures and logic, affirming the wild, expressive potential of words.
