Book excerpt: "Originally published in the chap book series by Bruno of Greenwich Village in 1915, this renowned volume of poetry presented portraits of women of the period -- a mother, prostitute, cabaret dancer, and others-- which were wildly radical in their day, dominated as it was by Victorian mores. But there is still in these "rhythms" a seething beat of sexuality and vice, whipped up into a delicious sense of perversity by Barnes's art"--Back cover.

Download or read book Cannibal written by Safiya Sinclair and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-09 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colliding with and confronting The Tempest and postcolonial identity, the poems in Safiya Sinclair's Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history, race relations in America, womanhood, otherness, and exile. She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure. Blooming with intense lyricism and fertile imagery, these full-blooded poems are elegant, mythic, and intricately woven. Here the female body is a dark landscape; the female body is cannibal. Sinclair shocks and delights her readers with her willingness to disorient and provoke, creating a multitextured collage of beautiful and explosive poems.
Book Synopsis Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara by : Joe LeSueur
Download or read book Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara written by Joe LeSueur and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-04-21 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented eyewitness account of the New York School, as seen between the lines of O'Hara's poetry Joe LeSueur lived with Frank O'Hara from 1955 until 1965, the years when O'Hara wrote his greatest poems, including "To the Film Industry in Crisis," "In Memory of My Feelings," "Having a Coke with You," and the famous Lunch Poems—so called because O'Hara wrote them during his lunch break at the Museum of Modern Art, where he worked as a curator. (The artists he championed include Jackson Pollock, Joseph Cornell, Grace Hartigan, Jane Freilicher, Joan Mitchell, and Robert Rauschenberg.) The flowering of O'Hara's talent, cut short by a fatal car accident in 1966, produced some of the most exuberant, truly celebratory lyrics of the twentieth century. And it produced America's greatest poet of city life since Whitman. Alternating between O'Hara's poems and LeSueur's memory of the circumstances that inspired them, Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara is a literary commentary like no other—an affectionate, no-holds-barred memoir of O'Hara and the New York that animated his work: friends, lovers, movies, paintings, streets, apartments, music, parties, and pickups. This volume, which includes many of O'Hara's best-loved poems, is the most intimate, true-to-life portrait we will ever have of this quintessential American figure and his now legendary times.

Download or read book The Renunciations written by Donika Kelly and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary collection of endurance and transformation by the award-winning author of Bestiary The Renunciations is a book of resilience, survival, and the journey to radically shift one’s sense of self in the face of trauma. Moving between a childhood marked by love and abuse and the breaking marriage of that adult child, Donika Kelly charts memory and the body as landscapes to be traversed and tended. These poems construct life rafts and sanctuaries even in their most devastating confrontations with what a person can bear, with how families harm themselves. With the companionship of “the oracle”—an observer of memory who knows how each close call with oblivion ends—the act of remembrance becomes curative, and personal mythologies give way to a future defined less by wounds than by possibility. In this gorgeous and heartrending second collection, we find the home one builds inside oneself after reckoning with a legacy of trauma—a home whose construction starts “with a razing.”

Download or read book Sugarblood written by Liz Bowen and published by Metatron Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A kenning is a figurative expression of two subjects that gives special value to a common word. It is a way to see the word not through its economic function but through ecstatic vision. Such is the experience of reading Liz Bowen's Sugarblood. Here, its kennings operate beyond disease and into (through) sexual frenzy. In Sugarblood, we are made to see and it is 'appallingly legible.'" - NATALIE EILBERT, author of Indictus and Swan Feast "Liz Bowen's poems invite you to catcall your PAP smears, catcall your closed mouth, revive 'the deadly myth of a unified womanhood' (while at the same time decapitating it). Here is the ancient tension between what's revealed and what's kept hidden, what is both spoken and hushed-up in the same moment. Here is the longed-for redemption: we live gracefully, we are scrubbed (just enough), we are healthy even as we are sick." - SHARON MESMER, author of Annoying Diabetic Bitch "Liz Bowen's Sugarblood is the brutal textures of the freak body / the animal body / the embarrassed body / the worded body / the sick body / the caring body sending its edges out in ferocity and in tenderness. In Sugarblood the physical pain of being a body trying to hold itself together with other bodies and monstrosity in the world is incredible and intimate." - CARRIE LORIG, author of The Book of Repulsive Women "We're taught not to question the necessity of the cages where humans and other animals are 'kept.' Sugarblood unlatches these cages--including the cage of the body--and the wounded, screeching creatures that swarm out have become all the questions we were never meant to ask. When we finally allow this book's questions to flock together, they take the shape of a manifesto." - CARINA DEL VALLE SCHORSKE, essayist Sugarblood is spilling over with contaminants, soft intrusions, illness, animal instinct, medicine, and vengeance. Liz Bowen asks what it means to care for one another when emotions involve labour, and how our desires are so readily surveilled, scrutinized, and gendered. The result is a thrilling challenge, a warm panic, and an opportunity for us to reconsider function, care, and intimacy. Cunning and sharp, these poems are armour against that which threatens us, and an emotionally resonant testament to all that which keeps us safe and contained in a dangerous world. In effect, Bowen gives form to the feeling of simply being too much.
Book Synopsis 10 Books that Screwed Up the World by : Benjamin Wiker
Download or read book 10 Books that Screwed Up the World written by Benjamin Wiker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-05-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve heard of the "Great Books"? These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli's The Prince to Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto to Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, the breakdown of the family, and disastrous social experiments. And yet the toxic ideas peddled in these books are more popular and pervasive than ever. In fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Fortunately, Professor Benjamin Wiker is ready with an antidote, exposing the beguiling errors in each of these evil books. Witty, learned, and provocative, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World provides a quick education in the worst ideas in human history and explains how we can avoid them in the future.
