Book excerpt: Exuberant, darkly funny, and very smart, this long poem by German poet Dagmara Kraus makes music from a state of mind. Its voracious attitude to form and diction is both timeless and completely of this moment. Joshua Daniel Edwin has vividly brought Kraus's neologisms, music, and rhythms into English with wit and authority. An extremely strong debut from two young poets.
Book Synopsis Children of Another Hour by : Mara Pastor
Download or read book Children of Another Hour written by Mara Pastor and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of twenty deceptively complex and intensely imagined poems, Mara Pastor has built a whole universe of post-futuristic melancholy. These poems, despite their brevity, take on the human condition - love and death - in a world of cosmonauts, scientists, space travel, and post-apocalyptic gloom. They are concerned with the fleeting nature of our time here on earth (and in space), our inability to connect with each other, and also with our fate as a species. The poet Noel Black has rendered this work in an American English so natural and fine that it almost feels inevitable. This is the kind of book you keep in your pocket and your head for a very long time.

Translated from the Swedish by Jennifer Hayashida. "This vital book exposes the dense tectonics churning beneath migrant dreams. Accusatory, loving, full of grief and sage truths, Athena Farrokhzad's WHITE BLIGHT speaks eloquently to the troubled inheritance of diasporic survival. Through a litany of terse voices, Jennifer Hayashida's sensitive translation describes the nexus of filial obligations and projections under which the narrator sinks from view. The intense beauty of devastation and the poignancy of betrayal emerge with startling frankness: 'Your family will never be resurrected like roses after a fire.' 'I have spent a fortune for your piano lessons / But at my funeral you will refuse to play.' These white lines make me ask, what has been bleached out in all of our stories? I read this book, and I remembered my humanity." Sueyeun Juliette Lee Translator bio: Poet, translator and visual artist Jennifer Hayashida was born in Oakland, CA, and grew up in the suburbs of Stockholm and San Francisco.

Download or read book Astroecology written by Johannes Heldén and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Art. Environmental Studies. Science Fiction. Scandinavian Studies. Translated by Kirkwood Adams, Elizabeth Clark Wessel, and Johannes Held�n. Johannes Held�n's ASTROECOLOGY begins from an eschatological place: the world as we know it is ending, and this cosmic ending can be witnessed in that most intimate and privileged of places, the private estate. ASTROECOLOGY finds us in a real house and a real garden, surrounded by endlessly meaningful details, arranged with the precision of a Twin Peaks-like murder mystery. In a series of filmic visual frames and corresponding textual notes, Held�n offers a poetics that twists the organic (plants, pets, decay and growth) and the inorganic (drones, data systems, AI) into each other as a kind of avant- garde Mobius strip. A dazzling intertexuality unfolds: Inger Christensen's indexical impulse meets Hayao Miyazaki's surrealism, Chris Marker's stark montage meets Robert Smithson's iconography, Ursula Le Guin's social investigation meets Norbert Weiner's theory of cybernetics. In letting the reader-viewer get "stuck in the stream of evolution" over and over again, Held�n brings us to profound unanswerable questions about the origins of the universe: its processes, systems, and vanishing species of creature and thought.
Book Synopsis Down with Gargamel! by : Luis Othoniel Rosa
Download or read book Down with Gargamel! written by Luis Othoniel Rosa and published by . This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Latinx Studies. Translated by Noel Black. DOWN WITH GARGAMEL! is a futurist tale set in Puerto Rico, New York, and Colorado Springs that unfolds during the transition from peak oil production to a future that's formless, dangerous, and full of possibility. As global capitalism collapses under the weight of a worsening environmental crisis, we encounter the stories of six friends as they move through different forms of consciousness and across galaxies. Stories are presented as a narrative fractal in which the same occurrence is retold at different scales. Conversations abound: on black holes during a Puerto Rican blackout; inside the head of a schizophrenic professor; in an apartment in Brooklyn the very morning the world learns aliens have sent us a message; at a "happy death home" where three comrades and a cat care for twelve voluntarily dying bodies; and finally between intergalactic Smurfs and a nostalgic angel. Rosa's vision is at once absurd and terrifying, specific and idealistic, rooted in the paranoid tradition of J.L. Borges and Phillip K. Dick and inspired by a wide range of radical political movements.
Download or read book Quarantine written by Malachi Black and published by . This book was released on 2012-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n this crown of ten sonnets, based on the Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours, Malachi Black peels back each layer of his being and investigates what we are: "This tremolo of hands, / this fever, this flat-footed dance /of tendons and the drapery / of skin along a skeleton." The tension and circularity inherent in Black's form invokes the kinetic properties of the energy that surrounds and exists within us, and ultimately Black's astute consideration of our condition leaves us hopeful and wanting.
Download or read book (guns & Butter) written by Montana Ray and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Concrete Poetry. "Combine Apollinaire with Pam Grier and you might come close to Montana Ray's ferocious debut, (GUNS & BUTTER). Each concrete poem is shaped like a gun and its poetic interiors are bracingly brutal and gorgeous. Capsuled in parentheticals, each magnetic phrase is locked and loaded as Ray burns holes into subjects ranging from interracial love, single motherhood, to America's unrelenting addiction to gun violence. Her voice is mesmerizing, tender, vicious, chimeric, as she veers between role-playing a warrior glock-wielding Annie Oakley to 'warm, new mother.' I love (GUNS & BUTTER) and cannot sing it enough praises. It's the kind of rare first collection that is startling, necessary, and is truly like no other book." Cathy Park Hong ..".honest, sparse writing that is brazen and piercing as a bullet." Publishers Weekly "With cohesive intelligence, not to mention pained hilarity, Ray recasts what is not only possible but endlessly delightful in Poetry." Cate Marvin "Is she getting off on this? It's uncomfortable to read." Joy Katz, American Poetry Review "This work reminds me that it's point of view that gives motherhood, violence, race, desire meaning beyond language. Nothing in things, except how held, by whom." Simone White"
Book Synopsis The Fierce Bums of Doo-Wop by : Amber Atiya
Download or read book The Fierce Bums of Doo-Wop written by Amber Atiya and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amber Atiya's poems in The Fierce Bums of Doo-wop arouse and terrify in equal measure. She has a rare ability to manage several complex valences at once-- eros, comedy, and atrocity among them--skillfully braiding them into a whole, mysteriously synthetic body of work. Pleasurable and risky as "the urge// to fry bacon/ in my vegan/ lover's favorite pan," Atiya's poems answer the urgent call of our times for language that is accurate yet imaginative, slick yet embarrassing, ethically gorgeous and hot as hell.

Book Synopsis The Fat Sonnets by : Samantha Zighelboim
Download or read book The Fat Sonnets written by Samantha Zighelboim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Samantha Zighelboim's debut collection conducts a radical re-examination of what we mean by body. In these poems, body is noun, verb and adverb; body is dearly beloved and fiercely rejected; it is by turns a singularly beautiful process and a frightening object. Zighelboim takes the sonnet form as a loose premise, a la Bernadette Mayer, but then explodes, expands, defies and otherwise grows out of supposed formal limits, making language into a living embodiment of the refusal of (institutional, patriarchal, cultural) control. The poet's refusal of the social invisibility of fat bodies is essential. "I am a perfect fucking blossom," Zighelboim writes, and also "I am entitled to the loneliness of my interminable appetite." Offering felt registers as subtle as "The oblique / correspondence between / a soft body / and a thin / layer of / pulp," this is the writing of a sharp and observant world-eater: a cosmophage in the truest sense.
Download or read book Two Hunters written by Marina Blitshteyn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Jewish Studies. Women's Studies. The sonically-hypnotic poems in this collection pry open the space between sounds and what they mean, and the violence of this prying is analogous to the ordinary violences that women live with the world over. "Orange you happy yet, a serious threat / a surfeit, a certain fate, a surer fret," Blitshteyn chants, and you find yourself wanting to feel her language on your tongue, even as that language evokes an unbearable reality. Wrapped up in these fiercely elegant poems are narratives of language acquisition, precarious immigrations, and song-like imperatives for the best kinds of destruction.

Book Synopsis Someone Else's Wedding Vows by : Bianca Stone
Download or read book Someone Else's Wedding Vows written by Bianca Stone and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The much-anticipated debut collection from a celebrated young poet, Someone Else's Wedding Vows marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in American poetry. Someone Else’s Wedding Vows reflects on the different forms of love, which can be both tremendously joyous and devastatingly destructive. The title poem confronts a human ritual of marriage from the standpoint of a wedding photographer. Within the tedium and alienation of the ceremony, the speaker grapples with a strange human hopefulness. In this vein, Stone explores our everyday patterns and customs, and in doing so, exposes them for their complexities. Drawing on the neurological, scientific, psychological, and even supernatural, this collection confronts the difficulties of love and family. Stone rankles with a desire to understand, but the questions she asks are never answered simply. These poems stroll along the abyss, pointing towards the absurdity of our choices. They recede into the imaginative in order to understand and translate the distressing nature of reality. It is a bittersweet question this book raises: Why we are like this? There is no easy answer. So while we look down at our hands, perplexed, Someone Else’s Wedding Vows raises a glass to the future.
