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. "Somewhere between the grace of haiku and the weight of the epic, Sekou has crafted his most elegant work to date. 37 POEMS is both love song and lament"-Drisana Deborah Jack, author of "The Rainy Season."

Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stafford, Kim / Stafford, William, PUBLISHER: Graywolf Press, With incredible insight and love, Kim Stafford offers a view into the remarkable life of his father, the poet William Stafford "The unspoken deep affection he lived by was like the idea in his poem about the Eskimos--their disdain for "People who talk about God." In his world, a fact so pervasive as love never need be named." William Stafford wrote a poem nearly every day of his life, most often before dawn, as he lay on a much-used couch that bore the imprint of his body after years of use. He was a prolific, highly acclaimed poet, famous pacifist, and extraordinary friend to nearly everyone he met. But Kim was given perhaps his father's greatest gift--and greatest challenge--to be his literary executor. Carefully sifting through his father's papers--thousands of poems written on napkins, grocery receipts, letters--Kim follows a copious trail of words matched only by his father's silences. Kim is able to visit his father's life in a deeply personal way and, as a result, beautifully illuminates William Stafford as someone who was unafraid to stare into emptiness and to live a life so fully in the moment that he was able to touch countless lives with a single poem.

His installation "Large Oven" (), for example, realized for the Kunstverein Hamburg, and the spatial project "Roof" (), produced for the Kunsthalle Basel, both of which are comprehensively documented for the first time in the present publication, create walk-in scenarios reflecting social, political and urban realities.

Reflecting the recent growth of interest in late studies, and recognising the gaps in accessible scholarship on this area, leading international Shakespeare scholars address these and many other questions. The essays locate Shakespeare's last plays - single and co-authored - in the period of their composition, consider the significant characteristics of their Jacobean context, and explore the rich afterlives, on stage, in print and other media of The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline, The Tempest, Pericles, The Two Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII.

William Eggleston: Democratic Camera: Photographs and Video,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sussman, Elisabeth / Weski, Thomas / Booth, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Whitney Museum of American Art, Elvis's Graceland, a freezer stuffed with food, a Gulf gasoline sign standing in a deserted rural landscape--these are only a few of the iconic images captured by the "democratic camera" of photographer William Eggleston. Not only has he drawn upon images so telling of American culture, he has produced them with an intensity and balance of color that have helped elevate the entire field of color photography to a fine art, especially since his exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Drawing together Eggleston's famous and lesser-known works, this lavishly illustrated catalogue is the first to examine both his photography and videos. Of particular relevance are his black-and-white images from the late s and s, which helped shape his color photography, as well as the relationship between his provocative video recordings of s Memphis nightlife and his later work. Included are reproductions of newly restored prints, executed specifically for the exhibition. Filled with new and challenging contributions to scholarship and accompanying the first major U.S. survey of his work, this catalogue will prove the standard reference for Eggleston's photographs for years to come.

Buffalo Yoga: Poems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wright, Charles, PUBLISHER: Farrar Straus Giroux, " Wright's] penetrating and ravishingly gorgeous lyrical poems are at once classically philosophical and freshly revealing" ("Booklist") Never has Charles Wright's vision been more closely aligned with the work of the ancient Chinese painters and writers who inform his poetry than in his newest collection. Wright's short lyrics, in Charles Simic's words, "achieve a level of eloquence where the reader says to himself, if this is not wisdom, I don't know what is" ("The New York Review of Books"). The poems in "Buffalo Yoga" are pristine examples of the Tennessee poet's deft, painterly touch-"crows in a caterwaul" are "scored like black notes in the bare oak"-and his oblique, expansive, and profound interrogation of mortality, as in the title sequence, where the soul is "a rhythmical knot. / That form unties. Or reties." Acquista Ora

Compl Wks Rbt Browning 16: With Variant Readings and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Browning, Robert / Crowl, Susan / King, Roma A., JR., PUBLISHER: Ohio University Press, Robert Browning wrote Parleyings with Certain People of Importance in Their Day in his seventy-third year. The work is a capstone to the poet's long career, encompassing autobiography as well as influences bearing on the poet's life and career and on Victorian thought and culture in general. One of Browning's most complex works, Parleyings is also a work essential to understanding his genius and career as a whole. The Ohio/Baylor Browning edition offers keys to the complexity and interest of Parleyings through a definitive, emended text, full annotations for allusions both explicit and implicit in the text, and variant readings for the manuscript and all editions revised by Browning during his lifetime. In form and structure, Parleyings is a series of seven poems written in Browning's own voice and addressed to figures influential in his development. The series is framed by a prologue and an epilogue, the whole amounting to some lines. The poems are a formal contrast and a pendant to the great series of linked dramatic monologues in The Ring and the Book. They demonstrate the zest for innovation possessed by the master of the dramatic monologue in his ripe maturity. Interested readers as well as students and scholars of Browning will find a rich field of poetry and a critical mass of resources in Volume XVI of the Ohio/Baylor Browning edition.
