A Detail in That Story

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zeiderstein, Sondra / Zeidenstein, Sondra, PUBLISHER: Chicory Blue Press, Poetry. ""A Detail in that Story" by Sondra Zeidensrein is quite simply one of the best and most honest books I've read this year. These are dangerous poems that youth often try for and fail. Fail because the real danger is not in the exhibitionism, but in doing what Zeidenstein has done -- risking all These are fierce, frightening and frank poems that resonate with an eroticism that raises the collective consciousness to what life is and can be" (Sapphire).

Pebbles Monochromes & Other Modern Poems:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Howells, William Dean / Cady, Edwin, PUBLISHER: Ohio University Press, For William Dean Howells, the s throbbed with literary warfare over theory and criticism (realism), and social justice. But the terrible climax was more personal and came in the death of his daughter in . The blow altered him radically. Among other changes, a poetry new to him emerged, a poetry in the modern tradition. This "new" poetry is available now as never before in Pebbles, Monochromes, and Other Modern Poems, . It is metaphysical, agnostic, and ironic with a modernist voice. Praised at the century's start by figures as notable as Stephen Crane, Henry and William James, W. E. B. DuBois, and Hamlin Garland, Howells arises again at the end of the century, hailed by the likes of John Updike and Gore Vidal. This rich cache of modern poems by W. D. Howells, lost for so long, is now made accessible under the editorial eye of Edwin Cady. Its significance is central to the understanding of the literary history and culture that defined the modern era and to the progeny that grew from that fertile soil.

The Sun Unwound: Poems from Occupied America

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brotherston, Gordon / Dorn, Edward, PUBLISHER: North Atlantic Books, The result of a 20-year collaboration between poet Edward Dorn and scholar Gordon Brotherston, "The Sun Unwound" gathers together the disparate voices of oppressed Americans through the centuries: the hymns, songs, and prayers of Mesoamericans and other native peoples; the verse of eight Latin American guerrillas of the 's; and works by three of Latin America's most important avant-garde poets of the twentieth century. The Native Americans saw their cultures obliterated, most of the guerrillas died in their struggles, and the modernists have faced persecution, prison, and torture for their left-wing convictions. Previously untranslated or unavailable to most North Americans, their poems offer a striking counterpoint to the colonialist, capitalist, Anglo-Saxon ethos.

Beloved Mystery: Poems and Songs

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Doug Hodges, Hodges, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, Beloved Mystery is a story of my life. people and incidents that have confounded, beset, devastated, and blessed my way along the road. Unlike my previous two volumes, this one is of poetry and song. The poems herein go back much further than my quest, my communion with the Spirits. My first poem was given to me in the 5th grade, so very many years ago. Poetry wove itself into the tapestry of my life; music gave it structure and rhythm. They gave me a voice that so needed to speak. I proudly and humbly share this continuing saga of myself in hopes that a moment, an emotion, a light, a song. may spark, entertain, touch, and bless.

Love Haiku: Japanese Poems of Yearning, Passion, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Donegan, Patricia / Ishibashi, Yoshie, PUBLISHER: Shambhala Publications, Haiku is celebrated as a concise form of poetry able to convey a singular moment with great clarity. While haiku most often depicts the natural world, when focused on the elements of love and sensuality, haiku can be a powerful vehicle for evoking the universal experience of love. In this elegant anthology, love is explored through beautiful images that evoke a range of feelings--from the longing of a lover to the passion of a romantic relationship. Written by contemporary Japanese poets--with many haiku translated here for the first time--as well as by haiku masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa, these poems share not only the haiku poets' vision for love, but their vision of the poignant moments that mark love.

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.

Need Machine

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Faulkner, Assistant Andrew, PUBLISHER: Coach House Books, "After reading Mr. Faulkner's incredible book, something happened. I began to feel bad for the person I was before reading his poems. The poet writes: 'I've placed dynamite around your heart and a bit / in your teeth. How bored you must have been / before you met me.' And he's right. It was so goddamn boring before we met him."--Matthew Dickman "Need Machine "clamors through the brain like an unruly marching band. Both caustic and thoughtful, these poems offer a topography of modern life writ large in twitchy, neon splendor, in a voice as sure as a surgeon and as trustworthy as a rumor. Andrew Faulkner co-curates The Emergency Response Unit, a chapbook press. This is his first book.

Acts of Attention, Second Edition: The Poems of D. H.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilbert, Sandra M., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, In the Preface to this second edition of her first book, Sandra M. Gilbert addresses the inevitable question: "How can you be a feminist and a Lawrentian?" The answer is intellectually satisfying and historically revealing as she traces an array of early twentieth-century women of letters, some of them proto-feminists, who revered Lawrence despite his countless statements that would today be condemned as "sexist." H.D. regarded him as one of her "initiators" whose words "flamed alive, blue serpents on the page." Anais Nin insisted that he "had a complete realization of the feelings of women." By focusing on Lawrence's own definition of a poem as an "act of attention," Gilbert demonstrates how he developed the mature style of "Birds, Beasts and Flowers, "his finest collection of poetry. She discusses this volume at length, examines many of his later poems in detail, including the hymns from "The Plumed Serpent, Pansies, Nettles, "and "More Pansies, "and ends with a close look at "Last Poems. "Her detailed examination provides a clearer image of Lawrence as an artist--an artist whose poetry complements his novels and whose fiction enriches but does not outshine his poetry.
