Mormon Boy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tucker, S. Brady / Tucker, Seth, PUBLISHER: Elixir Press, Poetry. MORMON BOY by Seth Brady Tucker is one of the winners of the Elixir Press 11th Annual Poetry Awards. David Kirby has this to say about it: "A young man goes to a desert war, somehow returns with body and mind intact, and begins to write poems about his experiences. Will they be raw, brutal, all but impossible to read? Actually, no. Seth Tucker looks into the abyss, but it's a 'pretty abyss, ' as one of these poems says, because life rendered with feeling is always beautiful. Tucker embraces his subject but transcends it; a pleasure to read, these poems show poets how great poems are written.

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.

Braxton points out in her substantive introduction to this edition, a reconsideration of Dunbar's work and influence is long overdue: "We reclaim, in Paul Laurence Dunbar, a significant American author whose career transcends race and locality even while he makes use of racialized and regional cultural materials to create an African-American aesthetic and a unique black poetic diction."

A Galaxy of Creative Prose

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kincade, Libby, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have always had a penchant for writing and there was always a fascination about beautiful words that intrigued me. Also, because of my love for nature and the world that surrounds us with its endless beauty, despite the destructive tendencies of mankind to destroy it, I still am in awe of its wonderment, which motivates my desire to write. Most of my poetry are composites of blank verse, seldom rhyming, as I rarely conform to a definite iambic meter. I just merely let the words flow as God instructs me, whenever my creative expressions tend to exude. I am affiliated with several writing groups, The Alcott Writers Group, Garyas Writers Workshop and The National Society of Poetry. Among my published works was a dual effort contributed by my late mother, Mrs. Inez M. Thurman, and I entitled, aMeditations of a Mother and Daughter, a published by Carlton Press of New York city. Also, an entry, the poem aSummeras Adieu, a in a volume entitled An Evolving Secret published by the American Society of Poetry.

But todayon this stretch of beach never visited beforethose sunlight patches... Signalsof theirs, who hadn't left at all?And when you turn they're quiet, as if nothing. What's being wasted from day to dayis not the dead, but it's thosepatches of the nonexistent, lime or ashesready to become light and movement. Don'tbe in doubt, -- the sea's strength assails me --speak they will. Viewed as one of the most important Italian poets of the last century, Vittorio Sereni () wrote with a historical sweep unlike that of any of his contemporaries. A poet of both personal and political responsibility, he wrote of life under fascism, military defeat and imprisonment, the Italian economic miracle and cold war in Europe, and the resurgence of extreme right-wing politics, as well as the roles played by love and friendship in the survival of humanity. An equally esteemed prose writer, his pieces on the contradictions of war and the complex purpose of poetry and the arts in society are seminal contributions to Italian literature. The first substantial translation of Sereni's work published anywhere in the world, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni" is a unique guide to this classic twentieth-century poet. This bilingual edition collects the most representative poems from Sereni's oeuvre, as well as a selection of prose works that extends the themes of his poetry. The book also contains examples of Sereni's short fiction, published here in English for the first time. With a full chronology, commentary, bibliography, and learned introduction by distinguished British poet and scholar Peter Robinson, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni "is the only authorized rendering of Sereni's verse in English.

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.
