The Alphabet's Alphabet
Par Chris Harris. 2020
For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABCs from an acclaimed bestselling author and…
artist duo!Here's a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won't stand up right, a B is a D with its belt on too tight, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other -- and yet, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like...one big family.From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual high jinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think. You'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom
Par Nikita Gill. 2020
Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with an innovative novel in verse, exploring Hindu mythology and legend.Let…
her be a little less human, a little more divineGive her heart armor so it doesn't break as easily as mineMeet Paro. A girl with a strong will, a full heart, and much to learn. Born into a family reeling from the ruptures of Partition in India, we follow her as she crosses the precarious lines between childhood, teenage discovery, and realizing her adult self. In the process, Paro must confront fear, desire and the darkest parts of herself in the search for meaning and, ultimately, empowerment.Nikita Gill's vivid poetry and beautiful illustrations have captured hearts and imaginations--but in The Girl and the Goddess, she offers us her most personal and deeply felt writing to date: an intimate coming-of-age story told in linked poems that offers a look into the Hindu mythology and rich cultural influences that helped her become the woman she is today.Rain in Plural: Poems (Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets #154)
Par Fiona Sze-Lorrain. 2020
The highly anticipated new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book…
PrizeRain in Plural is the much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, who has been praised by The Rumpus as "a master of musicality and enlightening allusions." In the wholly original world of these new poems, Sze-Lorrain addresses both private narratives and the overexposed discourse of the polis, using silence and montage, lyric and antilyric, to envision what she calls "creating between liberties." With a moral precision embracing us without eschewing I, she rethinks questions of citizenship, the selections of sensory memory, and, by extension, the tether of word and image to the actual. She writes, "I accept the truth in newspapers / by holding the murder of my friends against my chest. // To each weather forecast I give thanks: / merci for every outdated // dusk/dawn." Agrippina the Younger, Franz Kafka, Bob Dylan, a butoh performance, an unnamed Raku tea bowl—each has a place here. Made whole by time and its alteration in timelessness, synchrony, coincidences, and accidents, Rain in Plural beautifully reveals an elegiac yet ever-evolving inner life.Whale Day: And Other Poems
Par Billy Collins. 2020
A new collection from Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate and &“America&’s favorite poet&” (The Wall Street Journal) Billy Collins&’s new…
collection brings together more than fifty poems and showcases his deft mixing of the playful and the serious that has made him one of our country&’s most celebrated and widely read poets. Here are poems that leap with whimsy and imagination, yet stay grounded in the familiar, common things of everyday experience. Collins takes us for a walk with an impossibly ancient dog, discovers the original way to eat a banana, meets an Irish spider, and even invites us to his own funeral. Sensitive to the wonders of being alive as well as the thrill of mortality, Whale Day builds on and amplifies Collins&’s reputation as one of America&’s most interesting and durable poets.Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown: Verses for a Despotic Age
Par John Lithgow. 2020
Following the success of his New York Times bestseller Dumpty, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents a brand-new…
collection of satirical poems chronicling the despotic age of Donald Trump. Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown is darker and more hard-hitting than ever. Lithgow writes and draws with wit and fury as he takes readers through another year of the shocking events involving Trump and his administration. His uproarious poems and illustrations encompass Trump's impeachment, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, and much more. Lithgow targets Mitch McConnell, Mike Pompeo, Bill Barr, Jared Kushner, Elaine Chao, and many others, but also includes a few heroes of the moment, including Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and even Barack Obama. The book arrives at a time when it's needed most. With all-new poems and never-before-seen line drawings, Lithgow will once again make readers laugh and pause to remember some of the most defining moments in recent history—skewering the reign of King Dumpty one stanza at a time.

Par Maki Starfield, Narlan Matos. 2020
“Dueto de Puntos” es la primera colección de Narlan Matos, siendo el poeta emergente más importante hoy en día en…
Latinoamérica y la poeta Japonesa Maki Starfield. Una de las mayores virtudes de la poesía de Narlan Matos es su capacidad de escuchar y de identificar los problemas más profundos de nuestros tiempos, en el arte y la crítica social. El vigor, la generosidad y la sabiduría de la poesía de Narlan Matos le confieren la categoría de poeta universal. Por otro lado, lo atrayente de los poemas de Maki Starfield es la búsqueda de la realidad de la condición humana en el mundo de la iluminación mediante la auto reflexión en el estilo poético de 3 líneas, enfocado en el haiku. Las palabras de las dos jóvenes promesas podría decirse que son producto de la resonancia de sus almas en una melodía como un lugar donde el Este y Occidente se fusionan.Chevaux et autres doutes

Par H. K. G. Lowery. 2020
In his debut collection of poetry, H. K. G. Lowery explores a journey incorporating all the natural anxieties and pains…
of living, leading to an understanding of real forgiveness and redemption.From the first poem of the collection, An Ode to Father John Misty, he sets the scene touching on societal issues such as racism, homophobia, religion, addiction and consumerism. The darkness of such issues, as well as other emotional issues, are given light gradually when he journeys into the positive attributes of forgiveness, hope in the God, the wonderment of nature, self-acceptance and salvation. The collection begins to rotate towards the Sublime with A Requiem for St. Francis which holds a strong personal resonance from the time he visited Assisi in Italy.Each poem commences with an epigraph which summarises each individual poem. The final poem sees all twelve epigraphs combine into a conclusion of the collection which results in a cathartic outpouring where the delight of existence is realised.An Enquiry into the Delight of Existence and the Sublime is a personal journey, a rise from darkness to light, from despair to hope.The IPPY Award–winning anthology of poetry, memoir, and essays—&“accounts of assimilation and nostalgia, celebration and resistance&” (Rick Barot, author of…

Par Diane Gilliam. 2017
From the award-winning author of Kettle Bottom, a sequence of fairytale-inspired narrative poems concerning the life of a troubled girl.Once…
upon a time, there lived a girl whose story was not her own . . .So the story goes: Neglected and abused by her family, eclipsed by her elder and more beautiful sister, a young girl longs for happily-ever-after, for something, someone to rescue her. She is soon swept away into the next chapter of her life: marriage—a promising world mirroring Old Testament stories and fairy tale traditions. But loving just anyone and living the age-old &“ever-after&” narrative, as it turns out, fails to bring true happiness after all. Dragged down by a destructive marriage, her sister&’s continued manipulations, and the growing weight of roles and expectations created by others at her back, she must choose between continuing in her familiar, complacent life, or boldly breaking free—and finally making her own way.Named for an Appalachian murder ballad in which a girl is drowned by her sister, this lyrical fairy tale unseats expectations for what it means to live a fairy tale life, revealing the powerful force that comes from stripping away the traditional roles and beginning to write a story all your own.Praise for Dreadful Wind & Rain &“Ache and lift and veracity tambourine through these lines and stanzas. This . . . collection exults its power inside our ears and through our hearts in a rich, stinging, marvelous way . . . I believe that Diane Gilliam is incorruptible as a poet.&” —Nikky Finney, poet, winner of the National Book Award for Head Off & SplitThe Flowering of Modern Chinese Poetry: An Anthology of Verse from the Republican Period
Par Herbert Batt, Sheldon Zitner. 2016
The May Fourth Movement launched an era of turmoil and transformation in China, as Western ideas and education encroached on…
the Confucian traditions at the root of Chinese society. The Republican period (1919–49) witnessed an outpouring of poetry in a form and style new to China, written in the common people’s language, baihua ("plain speech"). The New Poetry broke with the centuries-old tradition of classical poetry and its intricate forms, and the rise of China’s modern poetry reflects the rise of modern China. The Flowering of Modern Chinese Poetry presents English translations of over 250 poems by fifty poets, including a rich selection of poetry by women writers, to provide a nuanced picture of the rapid development of vernacular verse in China from its emergence during the May Fourth Movement, through the years of the Japanese invasion, to the Communist victory in the Civil War in 1949. Michel Hockx introduces the historical and literary contexts of the various schools of vernacular poetry that developed throughout the period – the pioneers, formalists, symbolists, "peasants and soldiers" poets, and Shanghai poets of the late 1940s. Each selection of verse begins with a biographical sketch of the author’s life and literary career, including their roles in the Civil War and Japanese occupation. Introducing English readers to master poets who are virtually unknown to Western audiences, this anthology presents a collection of verse written in an age of struggle that attests to the courage, sensitivity, and imagination of the Chinese people.To Build a Shadowy Isle of Bliss: William Morris's Radicalism and the Embodiment of Dreams
Par Paul Leduc Browne, Michelle Weinroth. 2015
To Build a Shadowy Isle of Bliss casts new light on the political radicalism and social thought of nineteenth-century artist,…
author, and revolutionary, William Morris. Standing on the cusp of a new wave of scholarship, this book presents an exciting convergence of views among internationally renowned scholars in the field of Victorian Studies. Balancing variety and unity, this collection reappraises Morris’s concept of social change and asks how we might think beyond the institutions and epistemologies of our time. Though the political significance of Morris’s creative work is often underestimated, the essays in this volume showcase its subtlety and sophistication. Each chapter discerns the power and novelty of Morris’s radicalism within his aesthetic creations and demonstrates how his most compelling political ideas bloomed wherever his dexterous hand had been at work - in wallpapers, floral borders, medievalist romances, and verse. Morris's theory and practice of aesthetic creation can be seen as the crucible of his entire philosophy of social change. In situating Morris's radicalism at the heart of his creative legacy, and in reanimating debates about nineteenth-century art and politics, To Build a Shadowy Isle of Bliss challenges and expands received notions of the radical, the aesthetic, and the political.Meteoro

Una lectura lírica, contemporánea y tierna sobre del amor, la infancia, el ser hijo y encontrarle un sentido a la…
vida en una época de desaliento y soledad. «Julián López es un autor exquisito.»Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Poemas urbanos, melancólicos, amorosos. En ellos transcurren los días del ser hijo y se despliegan los aprendizajes trascendentes de la infancia, intuyéndolos en el susurro sensual entre el padre y la madre o arrancándolos de sus discusiones. Siguiendo los pasos de quien sale a trabajar, de quien cocina y lava y tiende la ropa al sol. Siguiendo los pasos de quien se apura a sacarla antes de que caigan las gotas de una tormenta intempestiva. Pero también, en estos poemas, juegan tiernas las horas con la persona amada, cuando la ciudad se entrega a la armonía natural de las plantas o se irrita con la disonancia del tránsito. Entonces, el estado de ánimo transforma la mirada sobre los objetos de la casa y del cielo que la abarca. Meteoro, como cada libro de Julián López, es una máquina expresiva, una aventura lírica que se abraza a la realidad como si se arrojara sobre una bomba. Para que le estalle en el pecho. La crítica ha dicho... «Una morosidad de detalles propia de la letanía pero también del poeta.»María Moreno «Julián López es un gran arquitecto de la literatura argentina.»Flavia Pittella «Con preciosismo en el manejo del lenguaje, Julián López propone al lector una experiencia inmersiva en la memoria sensible; un viaje que es al mismo tiempo vibrante, melancólico y sexual.»Verónica Abdala «Una masa, una masa poética y narrativa.»Silvina GiagantiDespierta
Par Lorena Pronsky. 2020
En Despierta Lorena Pronsky nos habla, de una manera honesta y visceral, sobre cómo superar los golpes de la vida:…
las pérdidas, el desamor y los miedos. La mayoría de las decisiones que tomamos en nuestra vida las hacemos estando dormidos. Casi arrastrados por un estado de inercia. Cuando reaccionamos, el paso ya está dado y el resto del tiempo nos quedamos ahí -atrapados- intentando hacer algo con eso que ni advertimos haber decidido. Hay cosas que no se deshacen. Querer intentarlo es verle la cara a la frustración. Por el contrario, se hace necesario un viaje a nuestro mundo interior. Si registramos lo que hacemos y sentimos, ganamos libertad y la posibilidad urgente de conocer nuestros deseos más profundos. ¿Quién soy? ¿Qué quiero? ¿Cómo lo quiero? Ser conscientes de lo que sentimos: decirlo, palparlo y nombrarlo son formas en las que logramos adueñarnos de nuestra vida. Cuanto antes despertemos a nuestro mundo interior, más sabias y honestas serán nuestras decisiones. Despierta es el paso hacia una existencia verdadera. Una invitación a conocernos y animarnos a pisar firme y fuerte. Siempre hacia donde nos guíen nuestros latidos. Sí. Los nuestros.Lorena PronskyLifetime Visions
Par Mac Fleming. 1919
Mac Fleming has been a photographer all his life. In his senior years, he broadened his range of self-expression from…
the concrete reality of photographs to the realm of critical thoughts and feelings expressed in poetry. In this book, he uses poetry to trace his maturing ideas and feelings from youthful years in Oregon and middle years in the Midwest to senior years on the coast of California. Along this journey, he occasionally adds a touch of the concrete through related color photos. Weaving years of experience with youthful turns of phrase, Lifetime Visions is an exploration of a life well-lived, spanning over a century.Letters to a Young Brown Girl (American Poets Continuum Series #182)
