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.

Ten Poems to Last a Lifetime

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Housden, Roger / Housden, Rodger, PUBLISHER: Harmony, The fourth volume in the popular series that began with "Ten Poems to Change Your Life," "Ten Poems to Last a Lifetime" focuses on what it means to be truly human. In it, Roger Housden offers us poems on life and death, happiness, seeing ourselves in relation to the world, and, of course, the ineffable--the things that really matter when the chips are down. He describes these passionate poems as "bread for the soul and fire for the spirit." The poets Housden has chosen are Billy Collins, Hayden Carruth, Dorianne Laux, James Wright, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Mary Oliver from the United States, D. H. Lawrence and John Keats from England, Rainer Maria Rilke from Germany, Fleur Adcock from New Zealand, and Seng-Ts'an from sixth-century China. And yes, that adds up to eleven, not ten. Housden decided to include a bonus poem for his faithful readers in this, the final volume of the series. As before, Housden's luminous essays provide an elegant and easy passage into the sometimes daunting world of poetry, enabling readers to feel that in him they have found a trusted guide and mentor.

Possum Nocturne

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ramspeck, Doug, PUBLISHER: Northshore Press, The poems in Possum Nocturne imbue the physical world with human traits and human consciousness, the speakers imagining the landscapes of their days as alive with portentous meaning. In David Hume wrote in A Natural History of Religion: "There is an universal tendency among mankind to conceive all beings like themselves, and to transfer to every object those qualities with which they are familiarly acquainted, and of which they are intimately conscious. We find human faces in the moon, armies in the clouds... hence the frequency and beauty of the prosopopoeia in poetry, where trees, mountains, and streams are personified." The works in this collection are about animism and superstition, about characters who are convinced that a hoot owl whispers to us, that a black tupelo limb is an augury, that three crows in a black willow tree portend death, that a dry stream bed suggests that a spouse or relative will have a miscarriage, and that we can read our futures in the entrails of a pickerel frog or in a hognose snake skin found draped beside a river bank. Indeed, snakes in these poems often serve as mysteries and occultations. What could be more "other" than a creature without arms or legs, that muscles around on its own belly, that often has vertical slits as pupils, and that sticks out its tongue to "understand" the air? The world for the characters in these poems, then-mostly poems situated in the American Midwest and American South-is alive with its own form of consciousness and secret meanings.

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.

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.

All Saints: New and Selected Poems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Osbey, Brenda Marie, PUBLISHER: Louisiana State University Press, Like the feast day recalled in its title, this collection of twenty narrative poems venerates the dead. Brenda Marie Osbey invokes, impersonates, and converses with her Afro-New Orleans forebears--both blood ancestors and spiritual predecessors--weaving in hypnotic cadence a spell as potent as the religious and magical mysteries of her native culture. In All Saints we come to believe the dead do live, in the slave bricks paving the city's faubourgs, in the Hoodoo rites and images of saints, and especially in ourselves, who "walk upon the earth a living man / wearing all the shrouds of mourning like a skin / and memory like a stone inside your organs." Assisted by a glossary of New Orleans ethnic expressions, place names, and characters, we discern in these poems a multitude of voices that speak to us from colonial times forward. Chanting, lamenting, outpouring, healing--Osbey's poems measure her own musical refrain to the past while keeping time with the present: "we cry out together / in time to hear their cries."
