Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cohesive collection of poems that blend the unanswered questions of how things such as finding love, addiction to vice and need of success plagues our everyday lives. The "Arcade" represents ones mindstate while striving for the things we lust for. The "Tree" represents a dream, standard or goal. These poems explore the actions and habits that keeps us in the same place for "days"(far from the tree). Deeply influenced by paintings, these poems were written in a way that puts you in the hallways of the gallery. In a gallery where everything hanging on the wall serves as a mirror.

Book excerpt: From Richard Howard's Foreword: "The burden . . . of this poet's responsibility . . . rests on his eloquence, his way of making us see. For him, . . . the significance of an event or a place is not to be found within it, as within a nutshell, but without, enveloping the language which has generated it, as a light generates a vapor." Writing both narrative and lyric, love poem and elegy, the poems in Marc Woodworth's debut collection, ARCADE, are alternately severe and feverish, contemplative and intimate, novelistic and hauntingly stark. ARCADE opens with a sequence entitled "The City" set in an unnamed and compellingly imagined continental metropolis between the world wars. Early poems in the sequence were featured in The Paris Review's new writers issue and take their place here in what Frank Bidart calls a "fantasia on and hymn to the city," one that evokes the private desires and public scale of urban life where walkers disappear "in a spell of edges" and "two hearts [beat] in every chest,/ one fleshy and inert with familiarity, the other/ a shadow heart unmarred by grieving." This city-with its Weimar decadence, it's Parisian grace-is inhabited by a poet-protagonist equipped with "the accoutrements of the Romantic," who is both guide to the beauty and brutality of this lost world and the center of the poem's haunted, lyrical evocation of it. In other poems, Woodworth enters the grieving mind of Sophia Tolstoy as she mourns at her husband's grave, exposes a self-mortifying erotic episode in the life of Adrian Leverkühn from Thomas Mann's novel Doktor Faustus, and depicts the mythical German film-maker Herr Soma's strangely generative breakdown before the making of his best film. In ARCADE, Marc Woodworth creates a rare and intimate world that is as intoxicating as it is intellectually rewarding.

Book excerpt: Aphorisms have been described as 'the obscure hinterland between poetry and prose' (New Yorker) - short pithy statements that capture the essence of the human condition in all its shades. In this New and Selected, master of the form Don Paterson brings the best examples from his three previous volumes together with ingenious new material relevant to today's world. Moving and mischievous, canny and profound - these wide-ranging observations of no more than one or two lines demonstrate that the aphorism is the perfect form for our times. Consciousness is the turn the universe makes to hasten its own end. * Agnosticism is indulged only by those who have never suffered belief. * Poet: someone in the aphorism business for the money.

Book excerpt: “The passing of years seems a ruse of the gods, for only yesterday I was playing in the sand.” Memory is a strange thing. A fragile patchwork of recollection. A dream that fades after waking. Arcade of Memory is a beautiful collection of essays, poems, and short stories that explores the notion of memory, drawing from the author’s experiences traveling throughout the world. Essays examine memory and the act of making meaning. Poems, written in the style of Japanese tanka, draw inspiration from global culture. Short stories use history as a springboard for contemplating the mysteries of life. This lyrical, thoughtful collection reminds us that our personal past is a mythical land, which can only be visited through recollection and imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung A new 2023 translation of Herman Hesse's 1900 " "Bequeathed Writings and Poems of Hermann Lauscher". This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. He also received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946 and the 1955 Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. Hesse's "Bequeathed Writings and Poems of Hermann Lauscher" (Hinterlassene Schriften und Gedichte von Hermann Lauscher) is a collection of nine poems and, in its second edition, an expanded number of five prose pieces, a departure from the original three. Written between 1896 and 1899, this literary work saw the light of day in November 1900, courtesy of the Reich bookshop in Basel. The work is intertwined with Hesse's association with the bookshop, where he had been employed since the autumn of 1899. Initially posing as an editor, Hesse's true identity as the author of the esteemed writings and poems he left behind was revealed in 1902, an unmasking attributed to Richard von Schaukal. These compositions, though partly autobiographical, found a confidante in Hesse's pen pal, Helene Voigt-Diederichs. In particular, the contents of the book provide a vivid insight into Hesse's formative years. "My Childhood" delves into memories of Hesse's early life in Basel from 1881 to 1886, while "The November Night" paints a canvas of his apprenticeship in Tübingen from 1895 to 1899. Meanwhile, The Diary 1900 reflects Hesse's experiences in Basel from 1899 onwards. The story "Lulu" immortalises Julie Hellmann (1878-1972) from Kirchheim. In a preface to the 1933 edition, Hesse openly reflects on his earlier work, acknowledging passages he had considered changing but decided not to, in order to preserve the authenticity of his youthful portrayal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As conventional understanding would have it, the sometimes brutal business of governing can only be carried out at the price of distance from art, while poetic beauty best fl ourishes at a distance from actions executed at the pole of power. Dramatically contradicting this idea is the fact that violent rulers are often the greatest friends of art, and indeed draw attention to themselves as artists. Why do tyrants of all people often have a particularly poetic vein? Where do terror and fi ction meet? The cultural history of totalitarian regimes is unwrapped in ten case studies, in a comparative perspective. The book focuses on the phenomenon that many of the great despots in history were themselves writers. By studying the artistic ambitions of Nero, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Saparmurat Nyyazow and Radovan Karadzic, the studies explore the complicated relationship between poetry and political violence, and open our eyes for the aesthetic dimensions of total power. The essays make an important contribution to a number of fields: the study of totalitarian regimes, cultural studies, biographies of 20th century leaders. They underscore the frequent correlation between tyrannical governance and an excessive passion for language, and prove that the merging of artistic and political charisma tends to justify the claim to absolute power.
