Itch: Poems and Prose
Par Zane Frederick. 2023
In his third poetry collection, Itch, Zane Frederick scratches memory. He pokes the bear of his past. Ventures further out…
into its woods to see what still lurks and what needs to be settled. Itch captures the complexity of revisiting memory and the whirlwind of emotions that emerge from loose ends that have yet to be tied up. He shouts into the void and calls out the skeletons in his closet. He lets anger out like a beast locked away. He is stuck in a limbo between holding on and letting go, finding his way out of the forest that held his most rotted roots. Itch is about forgiving but never forgetting. It's about taking the armor off and going home. It challenges the notion that our scars won't always sting, but embraces the sting as a reminder of what we've healed from.The Unfolding: An Invitation to Come Home to Yourself
Par Arielle Estoria. 2023
“A moving, fresh, unique poetry collection and a generous invitation into the mind of the poet. Both a galvanizing wake-up call and…
a tender lullaby.” — Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed“What I love about Arielle’s writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step, filled with wisdom and grace. This book will help anyone seeking to unfold into their bloom.” — Morgan Harper Nichols, author of All Along You Were Blooming and Peace is a PracticeIn this beautiful collection of poems, essays, and meditations, Arielle Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open and mended back together in new ways. In doing so, she shows each of us how when we walk through our own process of “unfolding,” though it may be uncomfortable at times, there is light on the other side. Let these words guide your soul, and return home to the person you were always meant to be.Ghalib: The Poet and his Age (Routledge Revivals)
Par Ralph Russell. 1972
First published in 1972, Ghalib presents aspects of Ghalib, the last great literary figured produced by Mughal India before the…
empire was swept away by the British after the Revolt of 1857, as he appears though the eyes of well-known British and other European scholars. The book gives a picture of Ghalib’s own personality as it emerges in passages from his own Persian and Urdu letters and prose writings. Percival Spear, who lived in Delhi for many years, describes the Delhi scene of Ghalib’s day. P. Hardy writes of his relations with the British, and finally, two essays, by A. Bausani and Ralph Russell respectively, give an account of his Persian and Urdu poetry. His book will be of interest to students of literature, poetry, South Asian studies and history.Poesía completa

de poetas».Jaime Gil de Biedma «Marianne Moore se enfrentó a los convencionalismos lingüísticos, sintácticosy temáticos de lo que Gertrude Stein llamó la "poesía patriarcal". Y cabría añadir: salió victoriosa».Elaine Showalter 50º ANIVERSARIOVersión de Olivia de Miguel, merecedora del Premio Nacional de Traducción En la poesía del siglo XX, el nombre de Marianne Moore ocupa un lugar esencial. Quizá sea, después de Emily Dickinson, la poeta más radical que han dado las letras norteamericanas.Compañera de generación de Wallace Stevens o de William Carlos Williams, Moore logró crear un universo poético, tanto en el fondo como en la forma, muy distinto a lo que hasta entonces se había hecho. Poeta del mundo natural, muy poco dada al tono confesional, su poesía nace en el imaginismo de su generación y desemboca en el alumbramiento de una poesía construida con imágenes y símbolos de una belleza pura. La crítica ha dicho:«La poeta más radical de las letras norteamericanas. Una poesía repleta de imágenes que son pura belleza.»Greta H. Quiroga, Harper's Bazaar «Una experiencia que no deja indiferente, una apuesta por lo inesperado.»Ernest Farrés, La Vanguardia «Una poesía que no puede leerse sin el sobresalto, hondo y rico, de una singularidad excepcional.»Luis Antonio de Villena«Marianne Moore fue la más importante de los modernistas estadounidenses; reescribió las reglas de la forma literaria.»Declan Kiberd «Ironía, agudeza, meticulosidad, precisión verbal..., se integran en el universo poético de Moore.»Jorge de Arco, Piedra del Molino«Un ritmo de intensidad lírica sumamente prometedor y sincero.»Cándido Pérez Gállego «Una poeta de poetas.»Jaime Gil de Biedma «Marianne Moore se enfrentó a los convencionalismos lingüísticos, sintácticos y temáticos de lo que Stein llamó la “poesía patriarcal”. Y cabría añadir: salió victoriosa.»Elaine Showalter«Una transgresora en toda regla, como sus contemporáneas H. D. y Amy Lowell. [...] Propuesta métrica renovadora, exuberancia discursiva, versos desconcertantes que fluyen en estructuras rítmicas completamente inéditas hasta esa fecha...»Mª Ángeles Cabré, Letras LibresSongs for Relinquishing the Earth

A poetic odyssey through space with the groundbreaking Voyager 2 probe—past Earth, into deep space and beyond.In 1977, a space…
probe was built to help human beings learn a little more about outer space. Soon, along with its twin, Voyager 2 slipped through the clouds and left Earth behind.

Then, going further than any previous mission, the probe visited the blue ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Past the boundaries of our solar system, Voyager 2 sails on, carrying a Golden Record for any new friends it makes in interstellar space…This lyrical, atmospheric book introduces young readers to a pioneering NASA spacecraft that has spent over forty-five years observing and exploring our galaxy. With stirring poetry, luminous art, and fascinating back matter, The Sky Is Not the Limit will inspire future scientific innovators and foster a sense of wonder at our universe.The Glaucoma Guidebook: Expert Advice on Maintaining Healthy Vision (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)

Par Olivia A. Cole. 2023
This searing and intimate novel in verse follows a sixteen-year-old girl coping with sexual abuse as she grapples with how…
to reclaim her story, her anger, and her body in a world that seems determined to punish her for the sin of surviving."This is more than a story about sexual violence—this book is about race, sexuality, love, and how anger can be a catalyst for healing."—Gabrielle Union, bestselling author, actress, and producerSixteen-year-old Alicia Rivers has a reputation that precedes her. But there&’s more to her story than the whispers that follow her throughout the hallways at school—whispers that splinter into a million different insults that really mean: a girl who has had sex. But what her classmates don't know is that Alicia was sexually abused by a popular teacher, and that trauma has rewritten every cell in her body into someone she doesn't recognize. To the world around her, she&’s been cast, like the mythical Medusa, as not the victim but the monster of her own story: the slut who asked for it. Alicia was abandoned by her best friend, quit the track team, and now spends her days in detention feeling isolated and invisible. When mysterious letters left in her locker hint at another victim, Alicia struggles to keep up the walls she's built around her trauma. At the same time, her growing attraction to a new girl in school makes her question what those walls are really keeping out. "[This] fierce and brightly burning feminist roar…paints a devastating and haunting portrait of a vulnerable young woman discovering the power of her voice, her courage, and her rage." —Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of Internment and Hollow FiresThe World Behind the World: Poems
Par April Bernard. 2023
An acclaimed poet finds moral and spiritual connection in this fierce, dexterous volume. Balancing emotional openness with formal restraint, April…
Bernard proves once again a poet who “harmonizes the raucous and the classic, the songful and the wry, the courtly and the quick” (Wayne Koestenbaum). Throughout her sixth collection, Bernard searches for “the world behind the world,” a spiritual realm of justice and peace, music and grace. The host of saints present in this parallel world includes poets—John Ashbery, Thomas Wyatt, Gerard Manley Hopkins—as well as folklore spirits, animals wild and domestic, and personal ghosts. Mystical, daring, expertly crafted, and ironic, The World Behind the World embarks on a wide-ranging journey through memory and loss to reach “that other world, where nothing human can wreck us.” Along the way, the poet conjures lush woodlands and icy oceans, wry conversations with voices from the past, and transformative moments of reckoning and healing. Rising up from despair, anger, and grief, this powerful collection proposes a moving, personal faith.Side Notes from the Archivist: Poems
Par Anastacia-Renee. 2023
The award-winning, genre-crossing writer demonstrates her power as a funkadelic and formidable feminist voice in this rich and beautiful collection…
of verse and image—a multi-part retrospective that traverses time, space, and reality to illuminate the expansiveness of Black femme lives.Side Notes from the Archivist is a preservation of Black culture viewed through a feminist lens. The Archivist leads readers through poems that epitomize youthful renditions of a Black girl coming of age in Philadelphia’s pre-funk ’80s; episodic adventures of “the Black Girl” whose life is depicted through the white gaze; and selections of verse evincing affection for self and testimony to the magnificence within Black femme culture at-large.Every poem in Side Notes elevates and honestly illustrates the buoyancy of Blackness and the calamity of Black lives on earth. In her uniquely embracing and experimental style, Anastacia-Reneé documents these truths as celebrations of diverse subjects, from Solid Gold to halal hotdogs; as homages and reflections on iconic images, from Marsha P. Johnson to Aunt Jemima; and as critiques of systemic oppression forcing some to countdown their last heartbeat.From internet “Fame” to the toxicity of the white gaze, Side Notes from the Archivist cements Anastacia-Reneé role as a leading light in the womanist movement—an artist whose work is in conversation with advocates of Black culture and thought such as Audre Lorde, Amiri Baraka, and Nikki Giovanni.My Shouting, Shattered, Whispering Voice: A Guide to Writing Poetry and Speaking Your Truth

Par Patrick James Errington. 2023
Here the long edge / of town Low / winter fog / … My breath / my offering We are…
/ our bodies burning Firmly rooted in fire-haunted landscapes that are at once psychological, emotional, and fiercely real, Patrick Errington’s first collection traces the brittle boundaries between presence and absence, keeping and killing, cruelty and tenderness. In these poems human voices whisper through the natural world – a hand turns on a lamp to extinguish the stars; stones outline a sleeping form; a black eye is a storm cloud. Errington stokes vivid images, formal grace, and subtle humour into the flickers of life that hold fast against unforgiving terrain. Here language functions like a controlled burn, one that could at any moment preserve, perfect, or reduce to ash. Urgent, resonant to the bone, the swailing burns to the ember-edge of grief, memory, and control to find the wildness, wilderness, and wonder that remain.Precious Moments: Little Book of God's Love (Precious Moments)

what is present Turkey. Little remains today of her writings, which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry—among them poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, resignation and remembrance—that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. This is a new translation of her surviving poetry.
