es una repentina, permanente despertar a la unidad absoluta de todos los seres en cierto sentido que estamos iluminando; y hay vamos. "Iluminación es realmente solo una profunda y básica confianza en ti mismo y se ve reflejado en tu vida " A través de sus poemas, podrás preguntarte a ti mismo, '¿Quién soy?' por siempre, y para donde va '¿Qué es iluminación?' La pregunta es la enseñanza, y solo hacienda la pregunta puede haber una transformación."The freeing of my thoughts

Par Michele Leggott. 2020
Mezzaluna gathers work from Michele Leggott's nine books of poetry. As reviewer David Eggleton writes: "Leggott shows us that the…
ordinary is full of marvels which... stitched, flow together into sequences and episodes that in turn form an ongoing serial, or bricolage: a single poem, then, rejecting exactness, literalism, naturalism in favor of resonance, currents, patterns of ebb and flow." In complex lyrics, sampling thought and song, voice and vision, Leggott creates lush textured soundscapes. Her poetry covers a wide range of topics rich in details of her New Zealand life, full of history and family, lights and mirrors, the real and the surreal. She focuses on appearance and disappearance as modes of memory, familial until we lose sight of that horizon line and must settle instead for a series of intersecting arcs. Leggott writes with tenderness and courage about the paradoxes of losing her sight and remaking the world in words.on white you fallinto lineher voice fillsthe groundpotato cuts the sundries paints the deck printsshapes shadows of oranges green 'cyan and magenta' sail your picnicsea into the eye land crimson lemons hand methe moonrisen rode rose ridewhite out to seeNorth American Women Poets in the 21st Century: Beyond Lyric and Language (American Poets in the 21st Century)

I want to sayit begins like this: the tripa pilgrimage, my mother kneeling at the altar of the Black Virgin, enthralled—light streaming in a window, the sun at her back, holy water in a bowl she must have touched. What's left is palimpsest—one memory bleeding into another, overwriting it. How else to explainwhat remains? The sound of water in a basin I know is white,the sun behind her, light streaming in, her face—as if she were already dead—blurred as it will become. I want to imagine her beforethe altar, rising to meet us, my father lifting metoward her outstretched arms. What else to makeof the mind's slick confabulations? What comes backis the sun's dazzle on a pool's surface, light filtered through waterclosing over my head, my mother—her body between me and the high sun, a corona of light around her face. Why not call it a vision? What I know is this: I was drowning and saw a dark Madonna; someone pulled me through the water's bright ceiling and I rose, initiate, from one life into another.Say Her Name

Par Marilyn Singer. 2018
The role of First Lady has been defined differently by each woman who's held it, but all of them left…
an impact on our nation as partner of the commander in chief. Incisive poetry by Marilyn Singer and energetic art by Nancy Carpenter provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women-from Martha Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt to Lady Bird Johnson-who variously embraced the position and shied away from it, craved the spotlight and fiercely guarded their privacy, took controversial stands and championed for the status quo. Detailed back matter includes short biographies, quotations, and more.Dear Substitute (Hyperion Picture Book (eBook))
Par Liz Garton Scanlon, Audrey Vernick. 2018
When a substitute teacher named Miss Pelly comes to class, one student bristles at the change in routine-Miss Pelly doesn't…
follow the rules like Mrs. Giordano. But in time, our student learns that even though the substitute may do things a little differently, and she may be a bit silly, mixing things up might not be so bad. Told in a series of epistolary poems, this funny, relatable picturebook is a great fit for classrooms and for any child nervous about new experiences.Norma Jeane Baker of Troy (Oberon Modern Plays Ser.)
Par Anne Carson. 2019
Anne Carson’s new work that reconsiders the stories of two iconic women—Marilyn Monroe and Helen of Troy—from their point of…
view Norma Jeane Baker of Troy is a meditation on the destabilizing and destructive power of beauty, drawing together Helen of Troy and Marilyn Monroe, twin avatars of female fascination separated by millennia but united in mythopoeic force. Norma Jeane Baker was staged in the spring of 2019 at The Shed’s Griffin Theater in New York, starring actor Ben Whishaw and soprano Renée Fleming and directed by Katie Mitchell.The Absurd Man: Poems
Par Major Jackson. 2020
In this knock-out collection, Major Jackson savors the complexity between perception and reality, the body and desire, accountability and judgment.…
Inspired by Albert Camus’s seminal Myth of Sisyphus, Major Jackson’s fifth volume subtly configures the poet as “absurd hero” and plunges headfirst into a search for stable ground in an unstable world. We follow Jackson’s restless, vulnerable speaker as he ponders creation in the face of meaninglessness, chronicles an increasingly technological world and the difficulty of social and political unity, probes a failed marriage, and grieves his lost mother with a stunning, lucid lyricism. The arc of a man emerges; he bravely confronts his past, including his betrayals and his mistakes, and questions who he is as a father, as a husband, as a son, and as a poet. With intense musicality and verve, The Absurd Man also faces outward, finding refuge in intellectual and sensuous passions. At once melancholic and jubilant, Jackson considers the journey of humanity, with all its foibles, as a sacred pattern of discovery reconciled by art and the imagination.A Treatise on Stars
Par Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge. 2020
An ethereal new collection that is “visceral with intellection” (David Lau) Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s A Treatise on Stars extends the intensely…
phenomenological poetics of “The Star Field” in Empathy, which appeared over thirty years ago. The book is structured as a continuous enfolding of poems, each made up of numbered serial parts, their presiding poetic consciousness moving from the desert arroyo of New Mexico to the white-tailed deer of Maine and between conversations with daughter, husband, friends, pets (corn snake and poodle), and a woman, or star-visitor, beneath a tree who calls “any spirit in matter … star-walking.” These are poems of deep listening and patient waiting, open to the channeling of daily experience, to gestalt and angel, dolphins and extraterrestrials. Here, family is a type of constellation and “thought is a form of organized light.” All our senses are activated by Berssenbrugge’s light-absorbing lines, lines that map a geography of interconnected intelligence—interdimensional intelligence—that exists in all sentient objects and sustains us. This is not new age poetry but poetry for a new age, rigorous of thought and grounded in the physical world where “days fill with splendor, and earth offers its pristine beauty to an expanding present.”Empathy
Par Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge. 2020
The groundbreaking poetic work by our “Mondrian in verse” (Susan Barba, Boston Review), now back in print in a newly…
revised edition with a new preface by the author Empathy, first published by Station Hill Press in 1989, marked a turning point in Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s poetry, her lines lengthening across the page like so many horizons, tuned intimately to the natural world, at once philosophical, lush, and rhythmic. As she writes in the new preface for this edition, “I believe we’re born with the capacity for sensing emotional nuance around us. Not only of beloved persons nearby, but of people we don’t know—globally—and also of animals, plants, clouds, rocks.” In these poems, empathy not only becomes the space of one person inside another, but of one element—water, fog—one place—tundra, desert mesa—one animal—the swan—as the locus of human illumination and desire. Jackson MacLow wrote that the poetry in this collection “moves from ‘inner’ phenomena to ones coming from the ‘external’ world and back again with breathtaking evenness” and that the poet herself “is neither ‘objectivist’ nor ‘subjectivist’ but a poet of the whole consciousness.”Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region (Cave and Karst Systems of the World)
Par Augusto S. Auler, Paulo Pessoa. 2020
This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist…
Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.Wisdom Teeth (Busboys and Poets)
Par Derrick Weston Brown. 2011
This debut poetry collection reveals the ongoing internal and external reconstruction of an artist's life and environment, as told through…
a litany of forms and myriad voices. The poems represent the quintessence of urban DC life and redefine personal relationships, masculinity, race, and history. A readjustment of bite, humor, and perspective, this work channels everything from hip-hop and Toni Morrison to Snagglepuss and red giants to make way for a poetic eruption of wisdom.Fires: Essays, Poems, Stories (Vintage Contemporaries)

of the stories—later revised for What We Talk About When We Talk About Love—are particularly notable in that between the first and the final versions, we see clearly the astounding process of Carver&’s literary development.Sacrament of Bodies (African Poetry Book)
Par Romeo Oriogun. 2020
In this groundbreaking collection of poems, Sacrament of Bodies, Romeo Oriogun fearlessly interrogates how a queer man in Nigeria can…
heal in a society where everything is designed to prevent such restoration. With honesty, precision, tenderness of detail, and a light touch, Oriogun explores grief and how the body finds survival through migration.‘mamaseko (African Poetry Book)
Par Thabile Makue. 2020
Named after the poet&’s mother, &‘mamaseko is a collection of introspective lyrics and other poems dealing with the intersections of…
blood relationships and related identities. Thabile Makue questions what it means to be beings of blood—to relate by blood, to live by blood. In her poems Makue looks for traces of shared trauma and pain and asserts that wounds of the blood are healed by the same.All I Feel Is Rivers: Dervish Essays
Par Robert Vivian. 2020
All I Feel is Rivers is a collection of a new hybrid writing that, though spiritually akin to prose poems, retains…
an essayistic form. After several life-changing trips to Turkey, Robert Vivian took up a deep study of Rumi, the thirteenth-century Sufi mystic, poet, and founder of the religious order that performs the now-famous dervish dance. Vivian&’s fascination seeped into his writing, and his newly conceived dervish essays reflect the dynamic movement and ancient symbolism of the ritual dance with wild lyricism, sometimes breathless cadences, and mesmerizing unspooling. Utterly fearless in their passionate avowals of life&’s many manifestations, these essays showcase the surprising connectivity between the sacred and profane, uncovered by associative drifting. Vivian&’s essays take on grief and loss, the natural world and climate, spirituality and ecstasy, all while pushing the boundaries of what prose can do.Exodus (African Poetry Book)
Par ‘Gbenga Adeoba. 2020
Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poetry, &‘Gbenga Adeoba&’s collection Exodus focuses on forms of migration due…
to the slave trade, war, natural disasters, and economic opportunities. Using the sea as a source of language and metaphor, Adeoba explores themes of memory, transition, and the intersections between the historic and the imagined. With great tenderness and power his poetry of empathy searches for meaning in sharply constructed images, creating scenes of making and unmaking while he investigates experiences of exile and displacement across time and place.Actos de habla
Par Jaime Siles. 2009
Una reflexión sobre la melancolía del ego, entendido como «yo lírico». Un acto del lenguaje y, como tal, una expresión…
del tiempo y la experiencia intelectual a través de la palabra. XIII Premio de poesía Ciudad de Torrevieja Actos de habla se compone de 11 poemas que giran en torno a la identidad, el tiempo y la palabra. Algunos de los poemas se gestaron en la ciudad de Florencia, donde el autor pasó una temporada, y que es uno de los escenarios del libro. Allí entró en contacto con una máquina de cine de posguerra, que fue lo que le inspiró varios versos y la influencia del cine que puede apreciarse en la lectura. Esto entronca con el análisis que hace de la percepción del lenguaje, con poemas exclusivos que interpretan a una voz poemática que intenta dignificar el lenguaje coloquial. Lo más destacado de los poemas es su excelente sonoridad, su ritmo perfecto, las imágenes poderosas y el homenaje a Keats. La belleza, el dolor y la reflexión sobre la identidad y la nada se mezclan en un original punto de vista lleno de ironía. En estos actos de lenguaje, Jaime Siles expresa el mundo a través de la palabra, y lo hace dando una visión melancólica de la existencia.Decir es desear
