In this inventive collection of poems, McCutcheon engages in sophisticated literary play and deploys the Surrealist practices of juxtaposition, cut-up,…
and defamiliarization. Moving from eroticism to the macabre and from transformative quotation to the individual idiom, Shape Your Eyes by Shutting Them explores intertextuality in poetry by challenging the cultural tradition of seeing quotation as derivative.The Poem That I Wrote
Par Oliver Brooks. 2019
"You've probably never thought about the many ingredients that go into writing. THE POEM THAT I WROTE explores the process…
we all travel when creating. From the brain that sends the visuals, down to the hand that guides the pen, that letters the book which contains the paper... All these steps created this book, and the one the next to it, and the one next to that, and the ones a bazillion miles away! They even helped create this very blurb."Teoría de los cuerpos: Descripción explícita de la correspondencia
Par Zahara. 2019
Teoría de los cuerpos es un análisis poético de las maneras de relacionarnos que tenemos los seres humanos: cuerpos que…
se mueven, se repelen y se imantan con sus iguales por razones a veces difíciles de comprender. «Intenté entender qué nos sucedía desde todos los ángulos posibles. Observé el ansia, la espera, el deseo, la tristeza, el vacío. La carne, áspera a veces, rugosa; el pulso caliente, la búsqueda a toda costa. »Reconozco que allí no había respuestas. Encontré otras vidas dentro de un solo cuerpo y cómo su relación con los otros condicionaba su propia existencia. Así a veces se sentía sustraído, partido o en expansión con ellos. »Busqué dentro lo que siempre había sentido fuera. Tuve que abrirme con mis propias manos, dejar que otras también lo hicieran. Y solo cuando atravesé el dolor y la nostalgia, el placer y la soberbia, descubrí que lo que había ahí enterrado era real, que absolutamente todo era cierto.»Zahara _____________ A través de poemas, textos más narrativos y semaforismos, la cantante y escritora Zahara demuestra una vez más que el talento no se compartimenta. Crea, a través de este poemario dividido en tres partes («Clausuras de un cuerpo», «Correspondencias de los cuerpos» y «Extensión de un cuerpo»), su propia interpretación de la teoría matemática de los cuerpos, que estudia sus propiedades. Un libro que sorprende por su originalidad y su calidad y que, al mismo tiempo, contiene todos los ingredientes a los que ella nos tiene acostumbrados y que tanto nos gustan: su humor, un toque de surrealismo, el exceso, el amor, el dolor, el deseo e incluso la náusea, mezclados y agitados en su justa medida. De Trabajo, piso, pareja se ha dicho...«Hay debuts literarios que logran sorprender a propios y extraños. Da igual que ya conocieras la faceta musical de Zahara: no estás preparado para Trabajo, piso, pareja, un fresco íntimo sobre la vida de una relación que actúa como un diagnóstico íntimo de algunas patologías generacionales.»Revista GQ «Un certero retrato generacional de los anhelos y las decepciones de los treintañeros.».El Confidencial «Un relato a dos voces sobre la conciliación romántica y profesional en una época en la que está mal visto enamorarse, en la que el trabajo es la prioridad y el desapego familiar la norma. Todo envuelto en el papel de una sociedad en la que sostener en pie una relación es más difícil que conseguir que un castillo de naipes sobreviva a una ligera brisa.»VogueThe Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition

Par Christopher Dadson. 1982
Twenty-First Century Renderings is a first collection of poems about love, culture and poetic influence from a new British poet,…
Christopher Dadson. In this collection, Christopher explores themes of change, constancy and conflict through a broad range of forms and styles, from traditional sonnets and ballads through lyrical and dramatic monologue, to free verse and longer narrative styles. His poems are straightforward on the surface but contain echoes of English and Spanish language poets through the ages, resulting in a contemporary collection that draws equally on early modern poetic tradition and present day experience.For generations, the much-anticipated arrival of the Sears gift catalog signaled the start of the holiday season.

you to remain hopeful and harness your personal power to bring positive change into our world.Where to Begin is perfect for those who are ready to be a part of building a society rooted in love, acceptance, justice, and equality. From Cleo Wade: Where to Begin is a collection of the ideas, mantras, and poems I turn to when I feel like I am losing it. I wrote this so that I could put them all in one place when I felt overwhelmed by worry, fear, anxiety, or helplessness. The words in this book are what stop me from walking away from the problems of the world during tough times. They also help me stay connected to hope during difficult moments and remind me that even on the days that feel the most daunting, I still have the power to show up and do something, somewhere, in some way. Change-making comes in all sizes. It doesn’t always have to be one big gesture or nothing. As my friend Jenna often says, “The big stuff is the small stuff.” Your big life is made up of a collection of all of your small moments. Our big world is a made up of a collection of all of our small actions. This book is about where to begin.The Prophet and Other Tales (Word Cloud Classics)
Par Kahlil Gibran. 2019
This classical work of philosophy has inspired readers around the world for generations. Upon its initial publication in 1923, Kahlil…
Gibran’s The Prophet garnered little acclaim, but it became a critical success in the 1930s and again in the 1960s when it inspired a generation of readers with its philosophical discussion on subjects such as love, friendship, beauty, and freedom. Gibran’s masterpiece of poetic prose has now been translated into more than a hundred languages, and is regarded as one of the most important works of the early twentieth century. This Word Cloud edition of The Prophet and Other Tales also includes two of Gibran’s earliest works, The Madman and The Forerunner, along with illustrations by the author.The First Dinosaur: How Science Solved the Greatest Mystery on Earth
Par Ian Lendler. 2019
Join early scientists as they piece together one of humanity’s greatest puzzles—the fossilized bones of the first dinosaur! Dinosaurs existed.…
That’s a fact we accept today. But not so long ago, the concept that these giant creatures could have roamed Earth millions of years before humans was unfathomable. People thought what we know as dinosaur bones were the bones of giant humans. Of large elephants. Of angels, even. So, how did we get from angel wings to the T-Rex? The First Dinosaur tells the story of the idea of dinosaurs, and the chain of fossil discoveries and advances in science that led to that idea. Be prepared to meet eccentric men and overlooked women who uncovered the pieces to a puzzle so much bigger than themselves, a puzzle far stranger and more spectacular than they could have ever imagined.Telescope: Selected Poems
Par Michael Heller. 2019
An original selection of work by one of America's greatest living poets.For more than fifty years, Michael Heller has been…
building one of the most impressive bodies of work in contemporary American poetry. His poems, shaped by Jewish and Buddhist thought and simultaneously lyrical and philosophical, engage the political and the natural world in an ongoing consideration of the responsibility and imaginative freedom of the poet. Profoundly reflective and deeply sensual, Heller is simply one of the best poets writing today. This new selection of his work, the first in many years, provides a perfect vantage from which to contemplate his achievement.Terminator: Poems, 2008-2018
Par Richard Kenney. 2019
Love, science, and politics collide in this sharp assessment of who we are now, in a generous selection of work…
by the award-winning poet.The terminator--the line, perpendicular to the equator, that divides night from day--is the organizing concept for this collection, which examines a world where "pert, post-apocalyptic / entertainment trades have trod the pocked / planet raw." Kenney's division of light verse from darker poems serves to remind us that what makes us laugh is often dead serious, and what's most serious can be best understood through wordplay, an ironic eye, the cleaving and joining magically effected by metaphor. With grace and candor, Richard Kenney thumbs through our troubles like a precious but scratched collection of vinyl: "the nature of emotion's analog, while languages are digital." From "Siri, Why Do I Wear a Necktie?" to the eternal springing of love ("Magnetic swipe to the blinking lock / is me to you"), Kenney reminds us that art's the best weapon to maintain our wits in very challenging times.Ganymede's Dog (Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series #51)
Par John Emil Vincent. 2019
Took all this time to actually in fact bite our own tail to learn that that hurts; I guess it…
was worth it. / Developed a taste for tails. The prose poems of Ganymede's Dog startle myths back to life, whether Ganymede's abduction by Zeus in the form of an eagle, his abduction by a century's worth of Budweiser labels, Sophocles's boozy boy-chasing, or the dancing plague of 1518. John Emil Vincent teases his materials into surreal, joyous, dirty, sometimes gruesome animation. His revelations arrive in the guise of other characters, and throughout, there are dogs. Dog-themed philosophy, dog-headed saints, dog-worshipping island rituals, and just plain dogs invite the reader to puppy-pile with Petronius, Catherine the Great, and Saint Christopher in a sapiosexual orgy with autocorrect handling the towels. Deeply infused with gay culture and mythology, Ganymede's Dog is a collection of smart, knowing, allusive, often ironic poems that ponder the boundaries of legend and the privileges of youth and beauty.Rail (Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series #50)
Par Miranda Pearson. 2019
Tracks and ley-lines pull us, carry us / past Lindisfarne – or an imagined glimpse / drifting holy in the…
distance, / another reality running through it. A rail is a track, a support, and a barrier. In this collection, spanning the personal and the political, Kentish pathways lead to London, to Yorkshire, to Faroe, then circle back to the west coast of Canada. An appeal, a railing against, these poems reach for beauty and compassion amidst uneasy global upheaval. Miranda Pearson considers family ties and threads between adult and child, cross-pollinating and subverting credos from Bloomsbury to Brexit, Whitechapel to West Vancouver, the Bible to punk. The long poem "Abacus" explores dyscalculia and ways that numbers and their associations can be a rich source of memory. It also delves into resulting anxieties – navigations and compensations made in response to a learning difference. Through imagery heavily influenced by visual art, other poems in Rail focus on geological elements: how parts fit and dislodge, erode and compress. Ceramics and gemstones, ice and rock are fault lines and stepping stones that act as envoys between the human and the natural world. A tension exists here between art and nature, between art objects and the violent history of colonial curation. Rail tracks the cascade of this duality. Exploring a diasporic connection between England and Canada, Rail is a journey along the brink between high and low culture, balancing on the edge of the awkward and the elegant.Red Rover, Red Rover!: Games from an Irish Childhood (That You Can Teach Your Kids)

Par Mairéad Ashe FitzGerald. 2015
‘A terrible beauty is born’ WB Yeats’s poignant words have come to immortalise the complex legacy of the Easter Rising,…
1916. The poetry that emerged at this time of upheaval in Ireland gave voice to the thoughts of a generation. Yeats’s poem, ‘Easter 1916’, sits alongside selected works of other major poets of the era. These include Patrick Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh and Joseph Plunkett, who were executed for their part in the Rising. In the aftermath of the Rising an outpouring of poetry also expressed the shock and grief of literary figures such as Padraic Colum, Francis Ledwidge, Eva Gore-Booth, James Stephens, Dora Sigerson Shorter and Seán O’Casey. Rebels, soldiers, honorary Irishmen, sympathisers and exiles all held up a mirror, in verse, to the events, beliefs and desires bound up in 1916.Best-Loved Oscar Wilde
Par Emma Byrne. 2015
Those whom the gods love grow young. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854–1900), one of Ireland's most beloved writers, was…
a playwright, poet, novelist and author of fairy stories and political essays. A complex man with many sides, he was both a revolutionary thinker and a flamboyant dandy and man about town. His wit and razor-sharp observation made him the toast of society on both sides of the Atlantic before scandal and notoriety stripped him of his position and his freedom. Best-Loved Oscar Wilde gathers a selection of Wilde's celebrated writing, chosen and introduced by John Wyse Jackson.The Collected Poems of Lorenzo Thomas (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
Par Lorenzo Thomas. 2004
Lorenzo Thomas (1944-2005) was the youngest member of the Society of Umbra, predecessor of the Black Arts Movement. The Collected…
Poems of Lorenzo Thomas is the first volume to encompass his entire writing life. His poetry synthesizes New York School and Black Arts aesthetics, heavily influenced by blues and jazz. In a career that spanned decades, Thomas constantly experimented with form and subject, while still writing poetry deeply rooted in the traditions of African American aesthetics. Whether drawing from his experiences during the war in Vietnam, exploring his life in the urban north and the southwest, or parodying his beloved Negritude ancestors, Thomas was a lyric innovator.Red is the Rose: A Book of Irish Love Poems
