Download or read book The Collection Plate written by Kendra Allen and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply wrought and joyful debut poetry collection from an exciting new voice Looping exultantly through the overlapping experiences of girlhood, Blackness, sex, and personhood in America, award-winning essayist and poet Kendra Allen braids together personal narrative and cultural commentary, wrestling with the beauty and brutality to be found between mothers and daughters, young women and the world, Black bodies and white space, virginity and intrusion, prison and freedom, birth and death. Most of all, The Collection Plate explores both how we collect and erase the voices, lives, and innocence of underrepresented bodies—and behold their pleasure, pain, and possibility Both formally exciting and a delight to read, The Collection Plate is a testament to Allen’s place as the voice of a generation—and a witness to how we come into being in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Bathwater Wine written by Wanda Coleman and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 1998 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1999 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize "Coleman is a poet whose angry and extravagant music, so far beyond baroque, has been making itself heard across the divide between West Coast and East, establishment and margins, slams and seminars, across the too-American rift among races and genders, for two decades. She excels in public performance...but her poems do not require her physical presence: they perform themselves."--Marilyn Hacker, from the jury's citation for the 1999 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize
Book Synopsis Muted Blood by : Mónica Teresa Ortiz
Download or read book Muted Blood written by Mónica Teresa Ortiz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Rooted in history, place, speculative space, love, demarcations, memory, bones and blood, mónica teresa ortiz offers us poems of mourning and remembrance. Polyvalent and assured, the poems expose swallowed feeling, recondition notions, and dare communication. MUTED BLOOD speaks with and for the dead, offers the living a semblance of promise."--Hoa Nguyen "What lonely deposits do our memories leave, which remnants do our future selves steal for survival in the present? To read mónica teresa ortiz's MUTED BLOOD, we unwrap our depleted ear, we open space and breath for our unruly ones, we write letters into the future and underneath the surface with our dearly beloved poet ghosts. This is a poetry which defies demarcated boundaries, which demands deep listening and honoring of the dead, which celebrates our small sweet bursts of joy."--Ching-In Chen "ortiz' MUTED BLOOD pulses with both life and death. It is too simplistic to say that MUTED BLOOD is about Texas because within these pages ortiz maps out a border landscape both lush and harsh, full of secrets, history and mythology; it is here that that desert becomes its own universe. There is a sensuality to ortiz' words, but one never forgets that, 'There is nothing bucolic about being queer or brown in the US.' This is a book I will return to when I need to be reminded that there are poets writing for the exiled, for those who refuse to be helpless and those that will return."--Casandra López

Book Synopsis When the Roll Is Called a Pyonder by : Diana Renee Zimmerman
Download or read book When the Roll Is Called a Pyonder written by Diana Renee Zimmerman and published by Electio Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With grace, humor, and sensitivity, Diana R. Zimmerman renders a traditional Mennonite farm family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as seen through a child's eyes and spoken in the hypnotic rhythms of a young girl's voice. The spirited speaker develops a rich sense of herself and her community as she grows up in a conservative religious context where "help means spank," and female children are reared for lives of obedience, modesty, and piety. This is a remarkably immediate work of memory and imagination-authentic, fair-minded, and unsentimental- suitable for readers of all ages." -Julia Spicher Kasdorf, author of Sleeping Preacher and The Body and the Book: Writing from a Mennonite Life "Diana R. Zimmerman has written a great American memoir. I was reminded of Huck Finn and Harriet the Spy and Jo March as I chuckled and gasped and laughed out loud through this book. You will love this little Mennonite girl, and she will lead you back to your own inner child. You will also start seeing the world through her eyes. You won't want this story to end." -Shirley Hershey Showalter, author of Blush: A Mennonite Girl Meets a Glittering World
Download or read book I Will Destroy You written by Nick Flynn and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest collection from Nick Flynn, whose “songs of experience hum with immediacy” (The New York Times) Beginning with a poem called “Confessional” and ending with a poem titled “Saint Augustine,” Nick Flynn's I Will Destroy You interrogates the potential of art to be redemptive, to remake and reform. But first the maker of art must claim responsibility for his past, his actions, his propensity to destroy others and himself. “Begin by descending,” Augustine says, and the poems delve into the deepest, most defeating parts of the self: addiction, temptation, infidelity, and repressed memory. These are poems of profound self-scrutiny and lyric intensity, jagged and probing. I Will Destroy You is an honest accounting of all that love must transcend and what we must risk for its truth.

Book Synopsis The Museum of Capitalism by : Norman Fischer
Download or read book The Museum of Capitalism written by Norman Fischer and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "If capitalism is the infection that normalizes and perpetuates all the greed and violence endemic to human creatures (and, of course, it is), in his new book Norman Fischer provides us with a gorgeous inoculation. In a capacious voice that is part every person, part guide and caregiver, part trickster, Fischer leads us through an exhibit of the American psyche at its most beautifully/terribly/complicatedly human. Blake asks us to see a world in a grain of sand; Fischer, in language as precise and relentless as his courage, asks us to expand each nanosecond into an infinity. With tenderness and care, irony and sincerity, Fischer leads us from surprise to surprise through a vastness of recursion, digression, re-vision, doubt, and wisdom. This is an exquisite book from one of the great and lasting gifts of contemporary poetry."--Donna de la Perriere
