Premonitions (Made in Michigan Writers Series)
Par Elizabeth Schmuhl. 2018
Visceral and brimming with vitality, the poems in Premonitions reverberate with the voice of a woman on a secluded farm,…
confronting her emotional and physical isolation. Drawing on her own experience as a daughter of a third-generation fruit farmer, Elizabeth Schmuhl gives readers a fresh and powerful perspective on what it means to be alive. Layering one upon another, the poems blur boundaries and create a volatile state out of which the remarkable and unexpected occur. Embracing chaos, change, and unpredictability, these poems are energetically charged and infused with succinct, imagistic language. They reach beyond the constraints assigned to the female form and examine a place where time, the body, sexuality, and the natural world are not fixed. At times surreal, at others painfully real, the poems in Premonitions are the expression of a human life that merges and melds with the world around it, acting and reacting, loving and despairing, disintegrating and rebuilding. The speaker travels fluidly between strata of the natural world and her own body. Adding to the complexity of her poems, Schmuhl creates additional layers of meaning as the poems and their titles relate to the author’s synesthesia, a sensory phenomenon through which letters and numbers are experienced as colors and emotions. Premonitions will turn the reader inward, encouraging the examination of the small details of life and a growing acceptance of the perpetual turmoil and uncertainty of existence despite our own desire to find a firm footing. This volume will be prized by lovers of contemporary poetry and literature alike.Collected Poems: Collected Prose Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Ser.)
Par Robert Bly. 1994
Gathering more than sixty years of poetry, Collected Poems showcases the brilliant career of a "great American transcendentalist" (New York…
Times). An extraordinary culmination for Robert Bly’s lifelong intellectual adventure, Collected Poems presents the full magnitude of his body of work for the first time. Bly has long been the voice of transcendentalism and meditative mysticism for his generation; every stage of his work is warmed by his devotion to the art of poetry and his affection for the varied worlds that inspire him. Influenced by Emerson and Thoreau alongside spiritual traditions from Sufism to Gnosticism, he is a poet moved by mysteries, speaking the language of images. Collected Poems gathers the fourteen volumes of his impressive oeuvre into one place, including his imagistic debut, Silence in the Snowy Fields (1962); the clear-eyed truth-telling of his National Book Award–winning collection, The Light Around the Body (1967); the masterful prose poems of The Morning Glory (1975); and the fiercely introspective, uniquely American ghazals of his latest collection, Talking into the Ear of a Donkey (2011). A monumental poetic achievement, Collected Poems makes clear why poets and lovers of poetry have long looked to Robert Bly for emotional authenticity, moral authority, and artistic inspiration.The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons: Volume 1 1955-1977
Par Helen Vendler, Robert M West, A R Ammons. 2017
“One of the great American poets . . . he sounds like nobody else.”—Helen Vendler “So I said I am…
Ezra / and the wind whipped my throat / gaming for the sounds of my voice. . . .” So begins one of the most remarkable oeuvres in the history of American poetry. The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons, Volume I presents the first half of Archie Randolph Ammons’s long career, including the complete texts of his three book-length poems from that period: the verse diary Tape for the Turn of the Year, the Bollingen Prize–winning Sphere: The Form of a Motion, and the daring kaleidoscope of The Snow Poems, which late in life Ammons said of all his long poems was his favorite. Here are many of Ammons’s most widely celebrated lyrics and meditations, including “Corsons Inlet,” “Still,” “Gravelly Run,” and “The City Limits.” Others are more directly inspired by his roots in the rural south, among them “Nelly Myers,” “Silver,” and “Mule Song.” Here too are conversations with mountains (as in “Classic” and “Mountain Talk”) and exchanges with the wind (“The Wide Land” and “Mansion”), materialist explanations of reality (“Mechanism” and “Catalyst”) and prayers (such as the several poems titled “Hymn”). A poet drawn to theorizing about poetry, Ammons offers both sophisticated discussions of the art (as in “Poetics” and “Essay on Poetics”) and disarming assurance: “I believe in fun.” The text of each poem has been established after careful consideration of Ammons’s manuscripts and other prepublication materials. Endnotes detail the poems’ composition and publication histories, and also helpfully annotate references made within the poems. This volume confirms Richard Howard’s judgment: “Here was a great poet, surely one of the largest to speak among us.”Tu lado del sofá
Par Patricia Benito. 2018
Después del éxito de Primero de poeta, Patricia Benito vuelve con su segundo poemario. Un canto a la magia de…
lo cotidiano, al pequeño lugar que ocupamos en el mundo. Tu lado del sofá es una despedida. Son los pedazos que no me atreví a rescatar del naufragio. Es un duelo a vida contra el espejo. Un sentirme nosotras. Es ser casa, canción de domingo y paz. Es un cuarto creciente a medio tempo. Es aprender a echar de menos sin que duela. Son todas esas veces que dejé de hacer por miedo a perder. Tu lado del sofá es recuperar -por fin- el metro sesenta desde el que partí.10 poesie

slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. A New York Times Bestseller 2018 National Book Award Winner for Young AdultsThintharoo. Colección poética

el cielo. Bellamente traducido del Malayalam al inglés y posteriormente traducido al español, contiene imágenes que harán volar al lector. Kuzhur Wilson es un poeta por excelencia que inhala y exhala poesía. Desde el momento en que abrió los ojos, ha visto un mundo diferente de los demás. Y continúa conversando con las plantas, los árboles, las flores, los peces, los animales, las personas, de la misma manera en que los cinco elementos le hablaron en ese momento decisivo. Aquí se muestra una imaginación en su mejor expresión, desde Thintharoo, un nombre que nunca llegó a ser el nombre de nadie, hasta un centenar de nombres extraños de los árboles que nos rodean. Kuzhur Wilson puede llamar a cada árbol por su nombre, como Dios nos llama en el día del Juicio Final. En su poesía, nuestro mundo parece estar al borde del colapso. Pero, Kuzhur Wilson convoca a sus mujeres para salvarnos ... 'Karingali que orina de pie, Kallavi suplicando ser llenada, Karanjili temblando de lujuria, Kaari que tararea mientras folla, Kaavalam que duerme después del trabajo, Thannimaram mostrando sus pétalos, Thambakam besando su vagina, Thellipayar saboreando un pinchazo, Neerkurunda en el languidez después de follar.

Par William Sears, Martha Sears. 2000
From North Americas foremost baby and childcare experts, the newest addition to the bestselling Sears Parenting Library--the new breastfeeding bible…
for nursing mothers. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in breastfeeding. Yet first-time mothers often lack the support and the knowledge they need. Many of the available books fail to address the practical challenges that confront many women (especially women who work outside the home) when they choose to breastfeed. For these women, The Breastfeeding Book is a godsend with comprehensive, reassuring, authoritative information on: how to get started, increasing your milk supply, breastfeeding in absentia, and making sure that your nursing baby gets the nutrition he/she needs. Taking a realistic, contemporary approach, the Searses bring an age-old practice completely up to date.Stet: Poems (Princeton Series Of Contemporary Poets Ser. #139)
Par Dora Malech. 2018
A fascinating collection of serious and playful poems that tap the inventive possibilities of the anagram and other constraining formsIn…
Stet, poet Dora Malech takes constraint as her catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life. Tapping the inventive possibilities of constrained forms, particularly the revealing limitations of the anagram, Stet is a work of serious play that brings home the connections and intimacies of language.“Stet,” from the Latin for “let it stand,” is a proofreading term meaning to retain or return to a previous phrasing. The uncertainty of changes made and then reconsidered haunts Stet as its poems explore what is left unsaid through erasures, redaction, and the limitations of spelling. How does one “go back” on one’s word or “stand by” one’s decisions? Can a life be remade or revised, or is the past forever present as in a palimpsest? Embodying the physicality and reproductive potentiality inherent in the collection’s forms and figures, Stet ends expectantly, not searching for closure but awaiting the messy, living possibilities of what comes next.By turns troubling and consoling, Stet powerfully combines lyric invention and brilliant wordplay.The Madman: His Parables and Poems

book but the Bible, the great Lebanese-American poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) first became known to Americans in 1918 with the publication of The Madman.Thought-provoking and inspiring, the book is a collection of memorable, life-affirming parables and poems, many of them casting an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind — and many reminiscent of the work of Tagore and Nietzsche, both of whom were strong influences on Gibran.Among the 35 poems and parables in this volume are "How I Became a Madman," "The Two Hermits," "The Wise Dog," "The Good God and the Evil God," "Night and the Madman," "The Three Ants," "When My Sorrow Was Born," "And When My Joy Was Born," and many more.The book includes several illustrations by the author, whose exquisite drawings are reminiscent of Rodin and the best of Blake. ". . . the greatest of Arab Romantics and father of a 20th-century Romantic tradition whose impact on Arab writers has been at least as strong as that of 19th-century figures such as Wordsworth and Keats on their English-speaking counterparts." — Dr. Suheil Bushrui, Director of the Kahlil Gibran Chair on Values and Peace, University of MarylandLittle Orphant Annie and Other Poems

Par Gladys Reeve. 2018
This book is filled with poems of various emotions, which I encountered while in depression, during healing, and after being…
healed. It also details my journey with God during this difficult time. In the depth of my depression when I didn’t care if I lived, God answered my prayer in a most unusual way – by giving me the desire to begin attending church. Not only did God heal me from depression by writing poetry, he healed me from the fear of being with strangers so I could eventually become an entertainer. I found strength, courage, and beauty while God was healing me, and the best part - He inspired me to be able to write all this in the form of poetry. He also taught me the power of prayer by bringing my husband back to life after his heart stopped beating for 2 minutes. The poems in this book range from desperation to humor. It is an inspirational journey of what God can do.This practical guide helps expecting mothers discover the health benefits of aromatherapy to improve the childbirth experienceMany women experience anxiety…

of the most celebrated writers to emerge from post-Communist Hungary, received numerous literary awards in his native country. In this volume, acclaimed translator Ottilie Mulzet reveals the full range and force of Borbély’s verse by bringing together generous selections from his last two books, Final Matters and To the Body. The original Hungarian text is set on pages facing the English translations, and the book also features an afterword by Mulzet that places the poems in literary, historical, and biographical context.Restless, curious, learned, and alert, Borbély weaves into his work an unlikely mix of Hungarian folk songs, Christian and Jewish hymns, classical myths, police reports, and unsettling accounts of abortions. In her afterword, Mulzet calls this collection “a blasphemous and fragmentary prayer book … that challenges us to rethink the boundaries of victimhood, culpability, and our own religious and cultural definitions.”Dolefully, A Rampart Stands (Penguin Poets)

Todas las canciones hablan de ti. La primera canción nunca se olvida. Se guarda en un rincón, apartada, sin interferir…
en tu vida, hasta que, de nuevo y por pura casualidad, vuelves a escucharla; y te hace sonreír y se te atragantan los recuerdos y personas asociadas a ella. La música tiene el poder de hacer sentir. Esto lo descubrí hace años, cuando la niña que fui se subía al pequeño escenario cada Navidad. Lo que no sabía es que, con el tiempo, la música me salvaría de nuevo. Hace tiempo que necesito escribir lo que mi voz no es capaz de pronunciar, las tormentas que todos llevamos y unos son capaces de verbalizar y otros, como yo, necesitamos escribirlas para sostenernos. En este libro te empaparás del agua salada que rodea mi vida que, como el mar Cantábrico, la primera impresión es un témpano de hielo, pero solo hace falta quedarse un rato para desmontar la coraza.Quiéreme Rota
