paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, cover price $16.99, attractive copy, near fine but with small green dots on top and bottom foredge, slightest wear to covers. GLÜCK, LOUISE. Proofs & theories: essays on poetry. Hopewell, New Jersey: The Ecco Press, 1994, appears to be a recnet digital reprint, 134pp., . Proofs & Theories is a long-awaited first gathering of essays by one of this country's most brilliant poets. Like her poems, the prose of Ms. Gluck, who won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1993 for The Wild Iris, is compressed, fastidious, fierce, alert, and absolutely unconsoled. The force of her thought is apparent everywhere in her writing and whether she is contemplating - skeptically - the critical currency of ideas like "courage" and "sincerity," T.S. Eliot's reduced reputation as a poet of impersonality, the loyalties of the objectivist George Oppen, or the ferocity in the headlong art of Sylvia Plath, there is something exhilarating about her seriousness, spare, austere, mind-clearing, and adamantly alive. - CONTENTS: Education of the poet -- On T.S. Eliot -- The idea of courage -- On George Oppen -- Against sincerity -- On Hugh Seidman -- The forbidden -- Obstinate humanity -- Disruption, hesitation, silence -- Disinterestedness -- The best American poetry 1993 : introduction -- The dreamer and the watcher -- On Stanley Kunitz -- Invitation and exclusion -- Death and absence -- On impoverishment.

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. DETAILS: fresh attractive hardcover with printed covers. ALAREER, REFAAT. If I must die: poetry and prose. Compiled by Yousef M. Aljamal ; with a foreword by Susan Abulhawa. New York: OR Books, 2024, stated First Printing, xxi, 257pp., . "The renowned poet and literature professor Refaat Alareer was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City alongside his brother, sister, and nephews in December 2023. He was just forty-four years old, but had already established a worldwide reputation that was further enhanced when, in the wake of his death, the poem that gives this book its title became a global sensation. "If I Must Die" is included here, alongside Refaat's other poetry. Refaat wrote extensively about a range of topics: teaching Shakespeare and the way Shylock could be appreciated by young Palestinian students; the horrors of living under repeated brutal assaults in Gaza, one of which, in 2014, killed another of his brothers; and the generosity of Palestinians to each other, fighting, in the face of it all, to be the one paying at the supermarket checkout. Such pieces, some never before published, have been curated here by one of Refaat's closest friends and collaborators. This collection forms a fitting testament to a remarkable writer, educator, and activist, one whose voice will not be silenced by death but will continue to assert the power of learning and humanism in the face of barbarity." - CONTENTS: Foreword -- Introduction -- Modest proposal (2010) -- Israel's power of the camera: Gaza's power of Gaza (2010) -- Tragedy in one sentence (2011) -- Gaza mourns Vittorio Arrigoni (2011) -- If I must die, let it be a tale (2011) -- I was Mustafa Tamimi (2011) -- Mustafa's only care (2011) -- On a drop of rain (2014) -- O, Earth (Land day poem) (2012) -- Narrating Palestine (2014) -- The story of my brother, Martyr Mohammed Alareer (2014) -- When will dad come back?

This is the 45th Anniversary Edition of this acclaimed book on the changes and losses to the English countryside bought about by intensive agriculture, with some account of the Countryside Restoration Trust, explaining what Page and others are doing to halt the decline in our wildlife. The discussion is based on Page's delightful account of his childhood in rural East Anglia in the years immediately following the Second World War. "When The Decline of an English Village was first published in 1974, it .was greeted with .acclaim. As a young writer, born into declining village life, Robin Page's message .struck a chord and sounded a warning." The author "exposes greed, political ineptitude, and social and environmental indifference as the driving force behind the deterioration of village life and the communities around it. He reflects .on his own experiences of rural life, raising sensitive topics, such as the intensification of farming, over-population, and environmental degredation in some of England's most beloved places." Robin Page concludes by identifying the most pressing problems and offering solutions, many of which he and colleagues have been putting into practice since 1993 through their Countryside Restoration Trust. Chapters include: Home and farm; The village; God; Sex and violence; The school; The brook; The shoot; Feathers and feet; Second thoughts; All change; thirty years on; Forty-five years on. An appendix discusses the Countryside Restoration Trust which the author was instrumental in founding. PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 18.95.
