Book excerpt: Vitezslav Nezval (1900-58) was an active participant in the European avant-garde between the two world wars. In the '20s he was the founding figure of poetism', a movement of poets and artists centred in Prague. Like other major innovators, he worked through a prolific sweep of modes and genres and formed an alliance with Andre Breton and his Paris circle in the 1930s, founding the first surrealist group and magazine outside France. This collection brings together, for the first time, a sampling of Nezval's major works from the '20s and 30's.'

Download or read book My Mother's Body written by Marge Piercy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 1985-03-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Mother's Body, Marge Piercy's tenth book of poetry, takes its title from one of her strongest and most moving poems, the climax of a powerful sequence of Poems to her mother. Rooted in an honest, harrowing, but ally ecstatic confrontation of the mother / daughter relationship in all its complexity and intimacy, it is at the same time an affirmation of continuity and identification. "The Chuppah" comprises poems actually used in her wedding ceremony with Ira Wood. This section sings with powerfully female love poetry. There is also a sustained and direct use of her Jewish identity and faith in these poems, as there is in a number of other poems throughout the volume. Readers of Piercy's previous collections will not be surprised to encounter her mixture of the personal and the political, her love of animals and the Cape landscape. There are poems about doing housework, about accidents, about dreaming, about bag ladies, about luggage, about children's fears of nuclear holocaust; about tomcats, insects in the rafters, the influence of a name, appleblossoms and blackberries, pollution, and some of the ways women objectify one another. In "Does the light fail us, or do we fail the light?" Piercy writes with lacerating honesty about our relationships with the elderly and about hers with her father. Some of the most moving poems are domestic, as in the final sequence, "Six underrated pleasures," which finds in daily women's tasks both pleasure and mystery, affirmation of serf and connection with the mother. In all, My Mother's Body is one of Piercy's most powerful and balanced collections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many of Heine's poems are deceptively simple on the surface, the multiple allusions, word plays, and shifts and breaks in diction and tone make them almost untranslatable.

Download or read book Standing on Earth written by Mohsen Emadi and published by Phoneme Media. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his poems of memory and displacement, Iranian poet Mohsen Emadi charts his experience of exile with vivid, often haunting, imagery and a child's love of language. Lyn Coffin's translations from the Persian allow Emadi's poems to inhabit the English language as their own, as the poet recasts his earliest memories and deepest loves over the forges of being "someone who goes to bed in one city and wakes up in another city." Alternating between acceptance and despair, tenderness and toughness, he writes, "I wanted to be a physicist," but "Your kisses made me a poet." Mohsen Emadi is a powerful witness to life in the present times, and Standing on Earth introduces a major world poet to an English-language readership for the first time.
