collection, Asif Ali delves deep into many topics with his rich, evocative poetry.Cartas a la razón
Par Marlo López. 2019
Este camino mío es un viaje a lo largo de veinte años, en el que hay un amor no correspondido…
que lleva inevitablemente a una crisis de identidad, desarrollándose luego en una nueva relación que llega a la coronación del sueño de amor. Se concluye con un intenso análisis del período vivido, una especie de reelaboración del pasado. De lo alto de tantos estados emocionales se describe la visión en el tiempo, para impulsarse con la mente a buscar y a encontrar personales verdades. La búsqueda de mí mismo comenzó con la intención de amar, con el deseo de enamorarme. El amor es vivido con una reflexión racional y una participación infantil que descubre uno de los planes más bajos del miedo: el miedo de amar. Al revelarse los miedos se descubren las ansias, defensas personales que hacen huir de un peligro irracional, hasta revelar la verdad, en este caso yo mismo.Frolic and Detour: Poems
Par Paul Muldoon. 2019
A new collection from the Pulitzer Prize–winning poetThough Frolic and Detour is Paul Muldoon’s thirteenth collection, it shows all the…
energy and ambition we might generally associate with a first book. Here, the poet brings his characteristic humor and humanity to the chickadee, the house wren, the deaths of Leonard Cohen and C. K. Williams, the Irish Rising, the Great War, and how “a streak of ragwort / may yet shine / as an off-the-record / remark becomes the party line.” Frolic and Detour reminds us that the sidelong glance is the sweetest, the tangential approach the most telling, and shows us why Paul Muldoon was described by Nick Laird, writing in The New York Review of Books, as “the most formally ambitious and technically innovative of modern poets, [who] writes poems like no one else.”Oblivion Banjo: The Poetry of Charles Wright

dark, Is luminous, sure, but smooth sided. Don’t touch it here, and don’t touch it there. Don’t touch it, in fact, anywhere—Let it dangle and hold us hard, let it flash and swing.—from “Scar Tissue”Over the course of his work—more than twenty books in total—Charles Wright has built “one of the truly distinctive bodies of poetry created in the second half of the twentieth century” (David Young, Contemporary Poets). Oblivion Banjo, a capacious new selection spanning his decades-long career, showcases the central themes of Wright’s poetry: “language, landscape, and the idea of God.” No matter the precise subject of each poem, on display here is a vast and rich interior life, a mind wrestling with the tenuous relationship between the ways we describe the world and its reality.The recipient of almost every honor in poetry—the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize, to name a few—and a former poet laureate of the United States, Wright is an essential voice in American letters. Oblivion Banjo is the perfect distillation of his inimitable career—for devout fans and newcomers alike.My Parents Think I'm Sleeping (I Can Read! #Level 3)
Par Jack Prelutsky. 2007
These 16 rollicking rhymes show young readers that a child's life begins at bedtime. Ages 4-8 So my parents think…
I'm sleeping, but that's simply their mistake, I have got them fooled completely, I am really wide-awake. From watching shadows dancing on a wall, to reading books by flashlight under the covers, to sneaking downstairs to grab that last piece of chocolate cake, master poet Jack Prelutsky shows readers that a child's life begins at bedtime!The Changing Light at Sandover: A Poem
Par James Merrill. 1982
James Merrill&’s audacious and dazzling epic poem, The Changing Light at Sandover, remains as startling today as when it first emerged in…
separate volumes over a period of several years. Individual parts won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and the entire poem, when it was collected into one volume in 1982, won the National Book Critics Circle Award. It is now an American classic, here in a definitive new hardcover edition that includes Voices from Sandover, Merrill&’s recasting of the poem for the stage. The book carries us to the scene of Merrill&’s Ouija board sessions with his partner, David Jackson—the candlelit Stonington dining room with its flame-colored walls and the famous Willowware cup they used as a pointer in their occult travels. In a shimmering interplay of verse forms, Merrill set down their extended conversations with their familiar and guide, Ephraim (a first-century Greek Jew), W. H. Auden, W. B. Yeats, Plato, a brilliant peacock named Mirabell, and other old friends who had passed to the other side. JM (whom the spirits call &“scribe&”) and DJ (&“hand&”) are also introduced to the lonely eminence God B (&“God Biology&”), his sister Mother Nature, and a host of angels and lesser residents of the empyrean who are variously involved in the ways of this world.The laughter, the missteps, and the schoolroom frustrations of the earthly pair&’s gradual enlightenment make this otherworldly journey, finally, and utterly human one. A unique exploration of the writer&’s role in a postatomic, postreligious age, Sandover has been compared to the work of Yeats, Proust, Milton, and Blake. Merrill&’s tale of the joys and tragedies of man&’s powers, and his message about the importance of our endangered efforts to make a good life on earth, will stand as one of the most profound experiences available to readers of poetry.Dictionary of Defeats

Par David Cairns. 2019
These are poems for every man and woman, poems you will keep going back to. You will read them again…
but you may not be sure why. Maybe you will recognise a little bit of yourself in them.

Par Karel James Bouse. 2019
This book explores the contemporary practice of Neo-shamanism and its relationship to mental health. Chapters cover the practice of Neo-shamanism,…
how it differs from traditional shamanism, the technology of the shamanic journey, the lifeworlds of some of its practitioners, as well as its benefits and pitfalls. The author’s analysis draws on an in-depth study of existing literature, original qualitative-phenomenological research into the lifeworlds of practitioners, and nearly three decades of observation and experience as a student, teacher and practitioner of Neo-shamanism. She discusses the potential role of Neo-shamanic journey technology as an approach for psychology-based studies of consciousness and anomalous phenomena; its value as a tool for self-exploration as part of a supervised curriculum; as well as the possible therapeutic applications of the journey and shamanic healing protocols for use by mental health professionals. This book is a rich and timely resource for students and teachers of psychology, anthropology and sociology, psychotherapists, and anyone who is interested in consciousness and parapsychology.Selected Poems of Edith Wharton
Par Edith Wharton, Irene Goldman-Price. 1914
Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction with her novel The Age of Innocence, was…
also a brilliant poet. This revealing collection of 134 poems brings together a fascinating array of her verse—including fifty poems that have never before been published.The celebrated American novelist and short story writer Edith Wharton, author of The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Age of Innocence, was also a dedicated, passionate poet. A lover of words, she read, studied, and composed poetry all of her life, publishing her first collection of poems at the age of sixteen. In her memoir, A Backward Glance, Wharton declared herself dazzled by poetry; she called it her “chiefest passion and greatest joy.” The 134 selected poems in this volume include fifty published for the first time. Wharton’s poetry is arranged thematically, offering context as the poems explore new facets of her literary ability and character. These works illuminate a richer, sometimes darker side of Wharton. Her subjects range from the public and political—her first published poem was about a boy who hanged himself in jail—to intimate lyric poems expressing heartbreak, loss, and mortality. She wrote frequently about works of art and historical figures and places, and some of her most striking work explores the origins of creativity itself. These selected poems showcase Wharton’s vivid imagination and her personal experience. Relatively overlooked until now, her poetry and its importance in her life provide an enlightening lens through which to view one of the finest writers of the twentieth century.Sotto Voce
Par Maureen Hynes. 2019
Poems that give full attention to a world in shambles, a world in which “mercy is failing.” Maureen Hynes, in…
her fifth book of poetry, speaks tenderly yet vehemently about the threatened worlds that concern her. From Toronto, where she lives and walks the city’s afflicted watershed, she turns her attention to the near and far, shifting it from the First Nations’ stolen lands to Syria and the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean; from the deaths of family and friends to the newborns into whose care our endangered planet will pass; and from love’s transient regrets to the sustaining love two women share. Hynes’ is a gaze that grieves quietly, delights humbly, and, in the search for solace, never rests. Each poem in Sotto Voce is a recitative of healing. Hear the music in every word and, despite the damaged environments Hynes gives voice to, be restored. This is a book that bears witness to the “dynamite stick of injustice,” one that balances fear and hope, misfortune and renewal, calamity and natural beauty. Sotto Voce carries the complexity and seriousness of its themes lightly—it’s important to know when to speak loudly, and when to whisper. “…Sotto Voce is the sound of one of Canada’s most accomplished poets writing at the height of her powers.” —Jim Johnstone "Whether speaking about nature, or politics, or love, Maureen Hynes does so with candor and compassion. These poems are generous and assured, and the world they circumscribe is the urgent, beautiful, dangerous place where we all live. Read Sotto Voce. Maureen Hynes is a poet at the top of her game.” —Helen HumphreysWave Archive
Par Emmalea Russo. 2019
Is it possible to archive the invisible symptoms of an illness? Is the archive emotional? Emmalea Russo's Wave Archive moves…
between essay and poetry while also pondering the mind-body connection and the unreliability of thought patterns and histories. Here, Russo invokes her own experiences with seizures, photographs and art-making, archival and indexical processes, brain waves, and the very personal need to document and store while simultaneously questioning the reliability of memory and language. Drawing upon the history of epilepsy in both ancient and modern brain treatments, Wave Archive disrupts and restores the archive over and over again, exploring the very edges of consciousness.Un Ange à mon Portail: Poésie
Par Miguel D'Addario. 2019
Ce petit chef d’œuvre, réunissant près de quatre-vingts poèmes, est à ce jour le livre le plus traduit de Miguel…
D’Addario. Écrit en espagnol à l’origine, il est désormais traduit en italien, anglais, portugais, grec et français. Nous sommes plongés dans un voyage intérieur à travers des thèmes universels comme l’amour, la vie, la mort, les obstacles, les bonheurs, Dieu, notre existence à travers notre recherche intérieure, notre réveil, notre évolution... Parfois l’auteur nous interpelle, nous secoue, souhaitant nous faire prendre conscience qu’il est temps de s’éveiller. L’aspect social est un thème de prédilection, car inconsciemment, nous sommes sous l’influence de la société. Mais sans le moindre questionnement, ne risquons-nous pas de passer à côté de l’essentiel ? L’adversité pourrait-elle être perçue de manière positive, comme une expérience nécessaire permettant le réveil puis l’évolution ? Les éléments perturbateurs apparaitraient alors comme des médiateurs entre le monde tangible et intangible. Et finalement l’amour apparait aussi comme une réponse, poème Limites : « (…) Embrasse comme si tu perdais ton corps demain et aime comme si c’était le dernier jour de ta vie. » Un recueil de poésie qui permet de faire face aux déboires de la vie de manière positive et de croître en se recentrant sur notre essentialité.Um Anjo na Minha Porta
Par Miguel D'Addario. 2018
Este livro de poesia nasce a partir de um caso estranho, porque surge logo depois de contatar uma seguidora das…
redes sociais, e sem sequer me conhecer me conta uma história pessoal e profunda. Um relato secreto e doloroso, uma história de morte a amor. Eu interpretei este encontro como se fosse um anjo que veio me contar algo, me dizer verdades e me deixar uma mensagem final. Simplesmente cheguei a uma conclusão e lhe disse: - É através da dor por onde entra a luz ou a escuridão; Ela me respondeu rapidamente algo e nunca mais soube dela. E foi por isso que decidi chamar este livro de: “Um anjo no meu portal” Um livro que só planta posições frente a situações da vida. Filosóficas, existenciais e inclusive de busca interior; mas com reflexões no final.Troubadour of the Old 108
