Her Hair Plays With Fire - Bok av Mary M. Sesso - Häftad

Her Hair Plays With Fire - Bok av Mary M. Sesso - Häftad

These deceptively laconic poems combine the cool diagnostic eye of a veteran nurse-practitioner with unexpected connections to the mysterious pulse of an enveloping natural world and the grief, loss, and risks that smolder beneath each day's surfaces. In the title poem, for example, the speaker watches her mother brush out her beautiful hair, \sparks flying,\ before coiling it back in a monochromatic bun because \it takes time for a girl to learn/ . . .colors can alert suspicious eyes.\ In \What..

Down River - Bok av Virginia Chase Sutton - Häftad

Down River - Bok av Virginia Chase Sutton - Häftad

A haunting and harrowing collection of the inner life of a speaker, both as child and as adult, Down River contains, according to poet Mark Doty, \honest and startling poems that reveal themselves as acts of courage; meditations against 'dreaming darkness.'\ This is a speaker who lives in the pain of childhood sexual abuse, the terror of mental illness, all within painful family secrets that haunt and \chronicle (s) the inner life of an adult,\ according to Doty. This \fractured self,\ writes..

Hot Mess - Bok av J. Andersen - Häftad

Hot Mess - Bok av J. Andersen - Häftad

After losing two children, the speaker of these poems writes of her deep suffering with openness; and when read one after another, along the trajectory of these poems, hope peeks through-in the form of a lost part of the speaker, a fire-breathing woman who may bring understanding, and in the form of these lines: 'I think there's / still a chance / for me / to believe / in something.'\-Ashley Inguanta, author of The Island, The Mountain, & The Nightblooming FieldIt is rare to find a collection of..

Have Ruin, Will Travel - Bok av Kara Dorris - Häftad

Have Ruin, Will Travel - Bok av Kara Dorris - Häftad

Set on the trans-Siberian railway, these poems take up themes of mobility as well as the body and the self created through loss. In the collection, loss is generated through travel as it strips away the mundane routines used to define ourselves, such as homes, careers, families. For example, one poem focuses on the interaction between the speaker and an elderly Russian woman who perceives something evil in the speaker's surgery scars despite the brief encounter. In each poem, we see the speaker evolving..

We Give Birth to Light - Bok av Benjamin D. Carson - Häftad

We Give Birth to Light - Bok av Benjamin D. Carson - Häftad

An often dark and brooding debut, We Give Birth to Light explores love and loss, sickness and death, hope and light. The collection is permeated with Weltschmerz, a sense of melancholy and world-weariness. In poems like \The Poetry of My Final Days,\ the speaker insists there is \nothing left to be tired of,\ and, in \The Stain,\ the speaker realizes not only \what we had lost,\ but \the / nothing we had gained.\ In \For a Time,\ a husband watches his wife die slowly of cancer, while..

Harvest - Bok av Britt Allen - Häftad

Harvest - Bok av Britt Allen - Häftad

1. : In Harvest, a poetry chapbook, the speaker takes revenge on the circumstances of her life by being blunt, bare, and brave on the page. She contends with a male-dominated society and abusive childhood as she moves into adulthood and the supposed saving grace of a marriage. The speaker confesses traumatic memories, marital betrayals, and harmful coping mechanisms in a lyrical way, adding her voice to the abused poets of past and present who have also asked themselves - how can a raped daughter..

The Prophet's Toothbrush - Bok av Elia Hohauser-Thatcher - Häftad

The Prophet's Toothbrush - Bok av Elia Hohauser-Thatcher - Häftad

Elia Hohauser-Thatcher's debut chapbook, The Prophet's Toothbrush, explores and deconstructs masculinity, coming of age in Detroit, and familial inheritance through the sacred and mundane. These intense, tough-minded poems offer as many bleak truths as they do opportunities for vulnerability. From this text, a speaker emerges who seeks to do the painstaking work of exploring and rejecting the violent expectations our world places on manhood.

Chimeras - Bok av Clare Welsh - Häftad

Chimeras - Bok av Clare Welsh - Häftad

Regal and eerie, Clare Welsh's Chimeras recalls early English poetry: its short line, alliterative phrasing, and lore. However, this abbreviated bestiary of the fantastic and common, the living and dead-swans, wolves, deer, koi, and Wind Horses-traverses a contemporary world, at times ordinary, at times post-apocalyptic dystopia. The young speaker tries to find her place here-to distinguish, if distinguishable, self from artifact in \a selfie next to the partially exposed bone. -Carolyn Hembree,..

Hidden Motion - Bok av Matthew Babcock - Häftad

Hidden Motion - Bok av Matthew Babcock - Häftad

The poems in Matthew Babcock's Hidden Motion are paeans to the velvet swoosh of all things that move. From maxims of commotion and flamingo pick-up lines to Whitmanesque list poems and short discourses on species, these poems remind us that language was put here to pulse and to surge, to wake and ensoul. The Babcockian lyric combines a heady, distinctive inquisitiveness with mountainous heart mojo. Indeed, the core of this book renders lessons in tending a heart tethered to all living things. In..

Rapids - Bok av Daniel Wade - Häftad

Rapids - Bok av Daniel Wade - Häftad

Wade draws into focus a landscape in constant transition. Here are city streets and alleys, borders, construction sites, island edges, boats and ocean that pulse, like a burst dam, with life unstoppable. Rapids is a glorious tour through the noisy, dirty, raw and often dazzling maze of history, memory and the present moment as it exists in the long shadow of the poet's deep connection with his native Dublin. A skilled and eloquent guide, Wade gifts us-page after striking page-with poems of loss,..

The Edge of the Sky - Bok av Madeleine Crouse - Häftad

The Edge of the Sky - Bok av Madeleine Crouse - Häftad

The Edge of the Sky's lyrical and narrative poems take the reader on a journey into the natural world: the awe and wonderment of birthing new life, the power of seed breaking through acres of land, the pulse of an underground spring. They encompass life lived more hours outdoors than indoors. This journey involves an engagement with large animals: a bull, breeding cows, companion horses, as well as pesky cats. The journey takes twists and turns through war, death, and the passing of time via images..
