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.

Close by

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Marks, Gigi, PUBLISHER: Silverfish Review Press, Poetry. "Gigi Marks's poems are intimate, in fact they explore intimacy as their primary concern, probing our desire to find ourselves reflected in an other, to sometimes give ourselves over to that other. In this sense, they are reminiscent of Dickinson; they stay close to home while urgently querying the borders of the human. The 'other' in these poems, the 'you, ' might be a lover, might be a child, might be a flower or a bee, or might be the reader herself, for the poems gesture outward from a speaker who is 'waiting to see you, ' a speaker who wants to, in 'seeing you' discover her own self--liquid, widening: 'I am / not one of them, I am, ' she writes, deftly expressing the question that guides each and every one of these delicate, beautiful, and quietly strange poems: how might we escape what Oppen called 'the shipwreck of the singular, ' how might we find ourselves, as Marks puts it, 'in someone else's house'? The more I read these, the closer I feel to their speaker, which is to say, to myself."--Julie Carr

Outsiders: Poems about Rebels, Exiles, and Renegades

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bosselaar, Laure-Anne, PUBLISHER: Milkweed Editions, Deep in the concrete canyons of even the largest cities, nature lurks. Its unpredictable energies animate not only squirrels and microorganisms, not only ginkgoes, roots, and rivers, but also the engines of human desire. Urban Nature captures the many faces of wildness in the city with poems by more than 130 emerging and recognized poets. Rather than just lamenting the loss of paradise, these poems celebrate nature's resiliency. They memorialize a salamander's last stand in a parking lot, link the cosmos to the consumer ethos ("The Pleiades / you could probably get downtown"), evoke horses galloping between skyscrapers, and track geological time in a pothole.

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.
