Book Synopsis Lydia Tomkiw Poems by : Dan Shepelavy
Download or read book Lydia Tomkiw Poems written by Dan Shepelavy and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, Lydia Tomkiw - precocious, inventive poet and beguiling new wave chanteuse - blazed out from Chicago's intertwined worlds of poetry and punk rock. Her trajectory stands as a thrilling testament to the independent do-it-yourself ethos - that the journey from the Chicago's Ukrainian Village to the inaugural volume of Best American Poetry can be made via nightclubs, armed with little more than office xerox machines, glue, restless imagination, words and moxie.Tomkiw's poetry is both innovative and immensely enjoyable - formally playful, rigorously perceptive, delightfully surreal, and fueled by her singular, sexy charm. Tomkiw's story leads us back to a circle of immensely talented poets, mostly women, including Elaine Equi, Sharon Mesmer, and Connie Deanovich. Collectively they invigorated American urban poetry and cleared a path for a more vital, raucous, and fiercely female verse. In their scene lay the roots of now celebrated forms like slam and spoken word. With her acclaimed band Algebra Suicide - designed explicitly as a vehicle for her poetry - she pushed the boundaries of poetic performance, while also leaving behind a series of unassailably ace records. This new collection presents all her publications in facsimile editions, preserving the raw sizzle of her early self-published chapbooks as well as comprehensively reissuing the works that secured her reputation. In addition, it brings together over 180 uncollected poems, joined by critical and biographical essays by poets Paul Hoover and Sharon Mesmer and music critic Ira Robbins.LYDIA TOMKIW POEMS restores to print and posterity an exhilarating and important voice in American poetry.

Book Synopsis Walk On The Wild Side by : Nicholas Christopher
Download or read book Walk On The Wild Side written by Nicholas Christopher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Walk on the Wild Side," the first anthology to plumb the maze of American urban life, gives us the city in all its forms: ethnic, economic, religious, political, sexual, intellectual. Poet and novelist Nicholas Christopher has chosen 115 poems from sixty poets, representing more than twenty cities. These are not just poems "about" cities, or with the city as subject; they filter and radiate the diversity and vitality of today's cities, from the electric night of New York to the sun-blanked sprawl of Los Angeles, from the factories of Pittsburgh to the waterfront of New Orleans. A kinetic mix of new voices and established writers, "Walk on the Wild Side" presents the timeless themes of poetry through the prism of our unique urban experience.

Book Synopsis The Twenty-Seventh Letter of the Alphabet by : Kim Adrian
Download or read book The Twenty-Seventh Letter of the Alphabet written by Kim Adrian and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear-sighted, darkly comic, and tender, The Twenty-Seventh Letter of the Alphabet is about a daughter's struggle to face the Medusa of generational trauma without turning to stone. Growing up in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1970s and 1980s in a family warped by mental illness, addiction, and violence, Kim Adrian spent her childhood ducking for cover from an alcoholic father prone to terrifying acts of rage and trudging through a fog of confusion with her mother, a suicidal incest survivor hooked on prescription drugs. Family memories were buried--even as they were formed--and truth was obscured by lies and fantasies. In The Twenty-Seventh Letter of the Alphabet Adrian tries to make peace with this troubled past by cataloguing memories, anecdotes, and bits of family lore in the form of a glossary. But within this strategic reckoning of the past, the unruly present carves an unpredictable path as Adrian's aging mother plunges into ever-deeper realms of drug-fueled paranoia. Ultimately, the glossary's imposed order serves less to organize emotional chaos than to expose difficult but necessary truths, such as the fact that some problems simply can't be solved, and that loving someone doesn't necessarily mean saving them.
Book Synopsis Hawkwind: Days of the Underground by : Joe Banks
Download or read book Hawkwind: Days of the Underground written by Joe Banks and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the English rock band Hawkwind shows them to be one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s. Fifty years on from when it first formed, the English rock band Hawkwind continues to inspire devotion from fans around the world. Its influence reaches across the spectrum of alternative music, from psychedelia, prog, and punk, through industrial, electronica, and stoner rock. Hawkwind has been variously, if erroneously, positioned as the heir to both Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground, and as Britain's answer to the Grateful Dead and Krautrock. It has defined a genre—space rock—while operating on a frequency that's uniquely its own. Hawkwind offered a form of radical escapism and an alternative account of a strange new world for a generation of young people growing up on a planet that seemed to be teetering on the brink of destruction, under threat from economic meltdown, industrial unrest, and political polarization. While other commentators confidently asserted that the countercultural experiment of the 1960s was over, Hawkwind took the underground to the provinces and beyond. In Days of the Underground, Joe Banks repositions Hawkwind as one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s. It's not an easy task. As with many bands of this era, a lazy narrative has built up around Hawkwind that doesn't do justice to the breadth of its ambition and achievements. Banks gives the lie to the popular perception of Hawkwind as one long lysergic soap opera; with Days of the Underground, he shows us just how revolutionary Hawkwind was.
