Book Synopsis The Wild Fox of Yemen by : Threa Almontaser
Download or read book The Wild Fox of Yemen written by Threa Almontaser and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry Book Society Wild Card Winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets 'It’s thrilling to discover such a staggeringly self-assured debut, to feel in the unmistakable presence of The Real Thing' Kaveh Akbar The Yemeni American poet Threa Almontaser’s incendiary debut asks how mistranslation can be a form of self-knowledge and survival. A love letter to the country and people of Yemen, a portrait of young Muslim womanhood in New York after 9/11, and an extraordinarily composed examination of what it means to carry in the body the echoes of what came before, Almontaser sneaks artifacts to and from worlds, repurposing language and adapting to the space between cultures. Speakers move with the force of what cannot be contained by the limits of the American imagination; instead, they invest in troublemaking and trickery, navigate imperial violence across multiple accents and anthems, and apply gang signs in henna, utilizing any means necessary to form a semblance of home. Fearlessly riding the tension between carnality and tenderness in the unruly human spirit, The Wild Fox of Yemen is one of the most original and bold debuts in recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A challenging collection that should more than satisfy [Rich's] large and loyal following."—Washington Post Book World In this volume, Adrienne Rich pursues her signature themes and takes them further: the discourse between poetry and history, interlocutions within and across gender, dialogues between poets and visual artists, human damages and dignity, and the persistence of utopian visions. Here Rich continues taking the temperature of mind and body in her time in an intimate and yet commanding voice that resonates long after an initial reading. Fox is formidable and moving, fierce and passionate, and one of Rich's most powerful works to date. "Justly celebrated....Rich has long wanted to set her readers' minds blazing...she succeeds."—Publishers Weekly starred review "Intimate, explorative, these are poems with a millennial feel, at once retrospective and forward-looking."—Washington Post Book World

Download or read book A Fox Peeks Out written by Ravi Chandra and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Honorable Mention for Poetry, 2012 San Francisco Book Festival. Psychiatrist and writer Ravi Chandra delivers poems honed on the spoken-word circuit and softer meditations on spirituality, life, medicine and technology. iPads, Buddhas, and Facebook all point the way to enlightenment, or at least provide for some decent companionship along the way. Also included are poems from the collaborative performance Fox and Jewel, a work in support of Japantown, San Francisco in the face of redevelopment. Whether the fox peeks out or speaks out, any lover of poetry is sure to be delighted, surprised, and provoked by this appealing debut volume of verse. Humor and gravitas abound and reveal a world "rich with tones / plied with tendencies / wrapped in layers." Buddhism, war and peace, echoes of 9/11 and the Cambodian genocide are wayfarers here, traveling on metrical feet. The poet takes them to heart, and looks for a way to heal. Writers Digest Self Publishing Competition had this to say: "A Fox Peeks Out by Ravi Chandra is a clever collection of poems that works. Integrating elements of common life, current technology, and an impressive understanding of each, I loved these lines. The slam poetry is especially effective, with lines such as 'Transmitters stream lines through space and sky send our avatars zenlike to altars named Zenith where the lines you speak dance life in my soul and the mind becomes fluid where lines cannot.' Well done. I hope Ravi Chandra seeks out publication through a poetry press in the future. I'd love to see a book of his slam." Poet Yuri Kageyama says: "A lot of poetry, probably including much of my own, is destructive, addressing inner turmoils to give them a form of expression as literature than other equally tempting but less acceptable, perhaps even criminal, outlets. Such is the madness of the world around us, the abuse that we take and the psychosis we battle by the day. "Ravi Chandra's poetry is the voice of calm, the antidote of therapy, the ointment of peace. Perhaps it is because he is a medical doctor and psychiatrist that he seeks to heal not only internal wounds but almost the entire world around us with his debut poetry book 'a fox peeks out _ poems.' (San Francisco: Pacific Heart Books, 2011)He juxtaposes the technology of the Internet with the tradition of Asian religions in the same poetic breath that is our American experience. "Other types of slam poetry may be identified with street violence and the defiance of oppression. Chandra's slam poetry is more like the chamomile tea you sip before bedtime. "His works read almost like a prayer, asking God to keep us safe through another day: 'Heart like earth Mind like sky No walls, no weapons, no war' "The power to soothe and unify through the word involves a risky balance to keep between artistry and platitude. Chandra pulls it off with the intelligence of a scholar, the insight of a master and, most important, the benevolence of a saint." 'Mountains do get built from earthquakes, great masses of earth pushing into each other, Pushing the ground up,' he writes in 'subprime tsunamis.''Greed must be contained by wisdom. Compassion must be the greatest power. Only so, can the waters purify. Only so, can earthquakes give ascent, instead of annihilation.'"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Costa Poetry Award • Shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Award and the Forward Prize “These lyrics…illustrate poetry’s unique ability to shock readers into a renewed awareness of the world.” —Washington Post Falling Awake, winner of the Costa Award for Poetry, “give[s] us the sensation of living alongside the natural world, of being a spectator to the changes that mark our mortality” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Falling Awake expands on the imagery of fallen soldiers from Homer’s Iliad portrayed in her previous volume, Memorial—defining life as a slowly falling weight, where beings fight against their inevitable end. Oswald reimagines classical figures such as Orpheus and Tithonus alive in an English landscape together with shadows, flies, villagers, dew, crickets—all characterized in tension between the weight of death and their own willpower. FROM “VERTIGO” let me shuffle forward and tell you the two minute life of rain starting right now lips open and lidless cold all-seeing gaze

Download or read book The Oscillations written by Kate Fox and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Fox's new collection The Oscillations explores distance and isolation in the age of the pandemic, refracted through the lenses of neurodiversity and trauma in poems that are bold, often frank and funny. Dazzling and open-hearted poems of self-discovery. Responding to a world that has been broken by the pandemic into a 'before' and 'after'. A strong voice sings of what it means to be many things at once - autistic, creative, northern, a woman. Fox measures not only distances, social or otherwise, but how we breach them, and what the view might be from beyond them. 'It's both comforting and challenging to have Kate Fox as our guide through these turbulent and fractured times; comforting because Kate's language is always inclusive and accessible and challenging because the ideas her superb poems brim with ask us to look deeply inside ourselves." - Ian McMillan, poet and broadcaster
