Book Synopsis Meet Me Here at Dawn by : Sophie Klahr
Download or read book Meet Me Here at Dawn written by Sophie Klahr and published by YesYes Books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Eroticism tinged with elegy, gratitude knit with doubt; MEET ME HERE AT DAWN contains an unmistakably open voice. Sophie Klahr's debut poetry collection careens from hunger to hunger. With lyric energy and narrative determination, the poems are missives sent back from a threshold, chronicling disease, the unspoken pains of family, the fabric of an extra-marital affair. "What aperture makes a woman?" Klahr asks in "One Slaughter." In MEET ME HERE AT DAWN, even the unanswerable is unfaltering, every question brightly wrought and necessary. "Sophie Klahr moves through the chambers of the mind and heart like an expert escape artist, keys hidden in the body's coverts are revealed in a 'rush of knowing, ' the body's 'first breaking and entering' that feels both clandestine and disclosive. This is poetry of immense vulnerability and fierce mettle; determined, convincing and heroically alive with courage of every kind."--D.A. Powell

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh, Democracy, What Say You? Proclamations of freedom and equality echo through hollow speeches ignoring far too many of we, the people. What happens when the people see the manipulation that keeps the powerful in power and those without power powerless? When a democracy becomes cast in silhouette, can it thrive? Can a democracy in silhouette even survive?
Download or read book Centaur written by Greg Wrenn and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greg Wrenn's debut collection opens with a long poem in which a man undergoes surgery to become a centaur. Other poems speak in voices as varied as those of Robert Mapplethorpe, Hercules, and a Wise Man at the birth of Jesus. Centaur skitters along the blurred lines between compulsivity and following one's heart, stasis and self-realization, human and animal. Here, suffering and transcendence are restlessly conjoined.
Book Synopsis The Black Bear Inside Me by : Robin Becker
Download or read book The Black Bear Inside Me written by Robin Becker and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becker celebrates the interconnectedness of creatures and places—never losing sight that much will turn out precarious, illusory, provisional. These poems speak, in ardent voices, about our affinities: an articulate, black bear mourns habitat loss; a frail man and failing dog become one; a scientist and her African grey parrot research language acquisition for thirty years. Ecologies interlace, as when a troubled family “sacrifices one member,/ as plants surrender leaves in times of drought.” Becker responds with rage and wit to corporate excess and intractable geo-politics. Love and friendship empower in wry narratives, though time “mows” down our days, though we may never escape “original cruelties.” Tragedies permeating our enmeshed, global identities haunt the book: the massacre of gay youth in Orlando; the terrors facing Cambodian teenagers working fishing boats. Wise, capacious, by turns unsettling and joyous, The Black Bear Inside Me incorporates histories and losses into a luminous present.
Book Synopsis The Kitchen-Dweller's Testimony by : Ladan Osman
Download or read book The Kitchen-Dweller's Testimony written by Ladan Osman and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, The Kitchen-Dweller’s Testimony asks: Whose testimony is valid? Whose testimony is worth recording? Osman’s speakers, who are almost always women, assert and reassert in an attempt to establish authority, often through persistent questioning. Specters of race, displacement, and colonialism are often present in her work, providing momentum for speakers to reach beyond their primary, apparent dimensions and better communicate. The Kitchen-Dweller’s Testimony is about love and longing, divorce, distilled desire, and all the ways we injure ourselves and one another.

Book Synopsis The White Silhouette by : James Harpur
Download or read book The White Silhouette written by James Harpur and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of James Harpur’s The White Silhouette is a meditative poem inspired by the Book of Kells – a poem that follows threads into themes such as the nature of the divine, the efficacy of sacred art, and the way of silence. The title poem – described in the TLS as a ‘compelling spiritual memoir’ – is a haunting journey of ‘missed encounters’ in the landscapes of Wiltshire, Tipperary, and Patmos. Elsewhere, Harpur writes about pilgrimage, the Perseids, mystical experiences, and icons and iconoclasm – from Rublev’s golden images to decapitated angels in Galway. He complements his explorations of the sacred with more directly personal poems, including elegies and elegiac translations from Homer and Horace. Harpur’s poetry is distinguished by its lyric grace and mythohistorical resonance. The musical texture of his lines conveys the warmth, clarity and intimacy of a voice exploring the mysteries of natural, human, and metaphysical worlds. The White Silhouette is the richest summation of his spiritual journey to date.
Book Synopsis Negotiations by : Destiny O. Birdsong
Download or read book Negotiations written by Destiny O. Birdsong and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Full of wonder." —Elizabeth Acevedo A Best Book of the Year at BuzzFeed, Refinery29, and Entropy Magazine What makes a self? In her remarkable debut collection of poems, Destiny O. Birdsong writes fearlessly towards this question. Laced with ratchetry, yet hungering for its own respectability, Negotiations is about what it means to live in this America, about Cardi B and top-tier journal publications, about autoimmune disease and the speaker’s intense hunger for her own body—a surprise of self-love in the aftermath of both assault and diagnosis. It’s a series of love letters to black women, who are often singled out for abuse and assault, silencing and tokenism, fetishization and cultural appropriation in ways that throw the rock, then hide the hand. It is a book about tenderness and an indictment of people and systems that attempt to narrow black women’s lives, their power. But it is also an examination of complicity—both a narrative and a black box warning for a particular kind of self-healing that requires recognizing culpability when and where it exists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Taste the Wild Wonder, fresh new poetic voice John Mark Green takes the reader on a transformative journey, awakening the heart to see the world with new eyes. This imaginative collection explores life, mortality, meaning, creativity, love, wonder, and nature, through the windows of 71 poems and 11 interior illustrations. These poems are infused with what the Japanese call yūgen - "a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe ... and the sad beauty of human suffering" (Benito Ortolani), and wabi-sabi - the beauty of impermanent, imperfect, and transient things. Since 2014, John Mark Green has grown a worldwide following for his poetry on social media. This is his first book. From the back cover Born of the ancient star remnants in our bones and nameless longings of the human heart, this poetry collection explores the firefly flicker of existence amidst the vast reaches of time and space. Capturing feelings of awe and aching beauty which stir the imagination, it illuminates our brief but glorious moment on life's stage. Imbued with the knowledge that everything we hold beautiful is inexorably slipping through our fingers, these poems are trail markers on a journey of awakening to the wild wonder which surrounds us, leading readers on a whirlwind tour of our place in the grand tapestry of nature, with a perspective which both dazzles and delights. Praise for Taste the Wild Wonder "John Mark Green writes with soul and weaves poetry from love and bones and fire. His new book is art and includes illustrations that complement the words beautifully." Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives
Book Synopsis Here and Now: Poems by : Stephen Dunn
Download or read book Here and Now: Poems written by Stephen Dunn and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-02-04 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wonderful example of the poet’s ability to satisfy readers and anticipate their thoughts.”—Elizabeth Lund, Washington Post In his sixteenth collection, Stephen Dunn continues to bring his imagination and intelligence to what Wallace Stevens calls “the problems of the normal,” which of course pervade most of our lives. The poem “Don’t Do That” opens with the lines: “It was bring-your-own if you wanted anything / hard, so I brought Johnnie Walker Red / along with some resentment I’d held in / for a few weeks.” In other poems, Dunn contemplates his own mortality, echoing Yeats—“That is no country for old men / cadenced everything I said”—only to discover he’s joined their ranks. In “The Writer of Nudes” his speaker is in search of the body’s “grammar” but tells his models, “Don’t expect to see yourself as other / than I see you.” Full of grace, wit, humor, and masterful precision, the poems in Here and Now attest to the contradictions we live with in the here and now. Political and metaphysical, these astonishing poems remind us of the essential human comedy of getting through each day. from "The House on the Hill" . . . from out of the fog, a large, welcoming house would emerge made out of invention and surprise. No things without ideas! you'd shout, and the doors would open, and the echoes would cascade down to the valleys and the faraway towns.
Book Synopsis My Girl's Green Jacket by : Mary Meriam
Download or read book My Girl's Green Jacket written by Mary Meriam and published by Headmistress Press. This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ambitious and dextrous poems employing a variety of formal guises, Mary Meriam creates for us an impressionistic yet incisive vision of love and loss in her powerful new collection, My Girl's Green Jacket. Recalling the sonnets of John Donne and the religious ballads of Christina Rossetti, Meriam's assured poems pulse with a channeled intensity, leading us as readers through an emotional and intellectual landscape . . . A collection as brilliant as it is emotionally nuanced, My Girl's Green Jacket offers us a complex imaginative mirror to hold up against our current reality. -Stu Watson editor of Prelude Lush, acrobatic, heartbroken, and witty by turns, or all at once, Mary Meriam's poems pack plot, memory, landscape, and longing into firm and elegant shapes. To call this work formally accomplished isn't sufficient. Meriam's lyricism is nervous and incandescent; her poems coruscate and spin. My Girl's Green Jacket honors not only the urgency of desire but also its mercurial restlessness. Poetic forebears ranging from Sappho to Hopkins, from H.D. to Marilyn Hacker, turn out to be not only generative models but also anchors in a world of relentless change. -Rachel Hadas author of Poems for Camilla The poems in this extraordinary collection shimmer with light and color, vibrate in the imagination with almost hallucinatory effect. They reach the reader, through the intimate short-cuts of the senses, so powerfully that the gorgeous, daring language feels inevitable-just right-even as it leaves objective order behind . . . Poem after poem in a rich variety of expertly handled forms-"The Mockers," "Ars Poetica," "Dusk," for instance-reveals the nature of love: its capacity to sow guilt, regret, longing, obsessive memory, fantasy; its tendency to inhabit every thought, experience, and sensation, and not only with our permission, but at our insistence. -Rhina P. Espaillat author of And After All and Agua de dos ríos/ Water from Two Rivers Mary Meriam's My Girl's Green Jacket is rich in description, rhymes and rhythms, bedecked in vivid color and emotions undimmed by the veneer of irony that shellacs so many contemporary poems. Like the moon she describes in "It Gets Very Dark until the Moon Rises," Meriam's songs, stories, prayers, fairy tales, ghazals and love-cries shine, grow, and give the dark a dream. -Joy Ladin author of Fireworks in the Graveyard This stunning collection of verse by Mary Meriam presents a palette of poems in various hues and forms . . . a spectrum of color reflects this poet's sense of loss and longing through a synesthesia that helps us hear, taste, and feel pigmentation as thought and emotion . . . Meriam notices the world quietly, yet vibrantly, alive to its potency, and we savor it too, dazzled by the poet's keen, discerning eye. -Janice Gould author of The Force of Gratitude Awe is equal parts nightmare and pleasure. Awe, in the hands of a poet, is exquisitely and horrifyingly impassioned. Mary Meriam's My Girl's Green Jacket writes the labor of our awe. Meriam stealthily interrogates our humanity by way of near-perfect poetic form . . . Meriam writes: "Nothing normal has ever happened to me." I say: Thank God. -kathryn l. pringle author of obscenity for the advancement of poetry
