the cultural landscape, by one of its influential practitioners, an award-winning poet, professor, and slam champion "Bennett…transport[s] us back to the city blocks, bars, cafes and stages these artists traversed and inhabited…an instructive text for young poets, artists or creative entrepreneurs trying to find a way to carve out a space for themselves…Shines with a refreshing dynamism." — The New York Times In 2009, when he was twenty years old, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama, at the same White House "Poetry Jam" where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett's young life, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s. In this book, he goes back to its roots, considering the Black Arts movement and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education; the origins of the famed Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the Lower East Side living room of the visionary Miguel Algarín, who hosted verse gatherings with legendary figures like Ntozake Shange and Miguel Piñero; the rapid growth of the "slam" format that was pioneered at the Get Me High Lounge in Chicago; the perfect storm of spoken word's rise during the explosion of social media; and Bennett's own journey alongside his older sister, whose work to promote the form helped shape spaces online and elsewhere dedicated to literature and the pursuit of human freedom. A celebration of voices outside the dominant cultural narrative, who boldly embraced an array of styles and forms and redefined what—and whom—the mainstream would include, Bennett's book illuminates the profound influence spoken word has had everywhere melodious words are heard, from Broadway to academia, from the podiums of political protest to cafés, schools, and rooms full of strangers all across the worldL'existence dépouillée des rivières

a immigré au Québec, pour lui raconter tout ce qu'elle a eu d'abord l'instinct de taire : l'exil, le racisme, la honte. Avec une écriture soignée cherchant à traverser les frontières entre la poésie et le récit, l'autrice répare la césure qui sépare la réfugiée timorée dans un monde inconnu de ce garçon téméraire, trilingue et amoureux des bestioles. Ce qui est tu bâtit minutieusement de véritables ponts entre les expériences et les générations, de manière à donner en héritage non pas la honte, mais rien de moins que la beauté du mondeTrop de Pascale (Queer)

mimétiques et de reflets déformants. Chaque fragment se déploie comme une petite installation qui interroge la présence dans toutes ses contradictions, une présence pleine d'affects, de paillettes et de latex donnant des formes kaléidoscopiques et excessives à la beauté. Écriture-performance et collage de bouts de soi, Trop de Pascale n'est pas qu'un livre. C'est un événementOsti d'pain blanc

leur descendance. Avec un humour désespéré, la poète examine son rapport à la nourriture. Elle détaille le lien, direct et aliénant, entre l'image du corps et un écrasant assortiment d'injonctions sociales, médicales, voire morales, auxquelles personne n'échappe. L'intime et le politique s'entrecoupent dans un recueil clairvoyant et rageurAt blackwater pond: Mary oliver reads mary oliver
Par Mary Oliver. 2019
Mary Oliver has published twenty-one volumes of poetry and six books of prose in the span of five decades, but…
she rarely performs her poetry in live readings. With At Blackwater Pond, Mary Oliver gives her audience what they've longed to hear: the poet's voice reading her own work. In this audio, she has recorded forty of her favorite poems, spanning her career from Dream Work through New and Selected Poems, Volume Two. "One of the astonishing aspects of Oliver's work is the consistency of tone over this long period. What changes is an increased focus on nature and an increased precision with language that has made her one of our very best poets."—Stephen Dobyns, New York Times Book ReviewArbres (Blanche)

with a powerful sense of premonition, as if the future is unfolding before us, demanding something greater than the self. Justice is a prevailing force, even while the poems are fully cognizant of the refugee crisis, war, famine, and the brutal reality of a crowded hospital morgue.-- Provided by publisher Adult.

Par Judith Rycroft. 2019
In Colored Leaves Judith Rycroft takes the reader on "frequent journeys through (her) thoughts" in poems the lines of which,…
as well as their exquisite imagery, are so strikingly original that one feels the need to read them aloud immediately to enjoy their auditory delight also. This is a collection of poems common to everyone's experience - love, loss, hope, faith, family - but shared with a depth of perspective granted to very few of us. Rycroft is a poet who looks at a world she shares with us and truly perceives it. Nothing speaks more truly of her prodigious artistry than these lines from A Poet's Palette: "Art holds the moment/when the heart/heard the song." We hear Judith's music and applaud.

in its pages bodies of language, land, rivers, suffering brothers, enemies, and lovers be touched and held as beloveds. It unravels notions of American goodness and creates something more powerful than hope a future is built, future being a matrix of the choices we make now, and in these poems, Diaz chooses love.

"|The Letters of Thom Gunn| presents the first complete portrait of the private life, reflections, and relationships of a maverick…
figure in the history of British and American poetry. "I write about love, I write about friendship," remarked Thom Gunn: "I find that they are absolutely intertwined." These core values permeate his correspondence with friends, family, lovers, and fellow poets, and shed new light on "one of the most singular and compelling poets in English during the past half-century" (Hugh Haughton, The Times Literary Supplement). |The Letters of Thom Gunn|, edited by August Kleinzahler, Michael Nott, and Clive Wilmer, reveals the evolution of Gunn's work and illuminates the fascinating life that informed his poems: his struggle to come to terms with his mother's suicide; his changing relationship with his life partner, Mike Kitay; the LSD trips that led to his celebrated collection Moly (1971); and the deaths of friends from AIDS that inspired the powerful, unsparing elegies of The Man with Night Sweats (1992)." -- Provided by publisherTook house
