Paperback. Condizione: Good. Genevieve Kaplan?s in the ice house offers an innovative meditation on domestic life and the physical world that surrounds it, chronicling ?at least the beginnings of some disaster? taking place in a landscape that ?had no symmetry.? Deftly channeling poets like Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery, as well as invoking Kaplan?s own distinct poetic sensibility, these poems reveal an atmospheric and wondrous world filled with odd and compelling images. Readers confront the menace of the ordinary, ?the whale-faced spout of the drainpipe, the cluck / of the chicken-bird? and how ?the light attacks / the window and the stress of the shining / does not ease.? The poet?s insistent evocation of elemental images?the birds, the ice, the water?becomes almost incantatory, as the speaker seeks escape from ?the frantic outside? she?s trapped within. Kaplan?s sky ?has the depth / of an ocean,? and this book deeply articulates how ?silence is the only word that can replace loss.? Moving artfully between internal desires and incisive observations of the external, these stunning poems radiate with both heat and ice.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Poetry. Women's Studies. California Interest. The poems in (AVIARY) circle themes of enclosure, feminism, and the natural world. Much of the collection was initially composed in local public gardens, lending these poems an air of urgency, the stink of voyeurism, and the hum of participation. This collection owes much, too, to Mina Loy's prose poem Ladies in an Aviary, which lends language and thematic play to Kaplan's (AVIARY).In (AVIARY) Genevieve Kaplan both relishes and challenges her limitations within these dynamic garden spaces and grants herself permission to re-design their elements of birds, leaves, beak taps, sugar, and shade. Borrowing scraps and hearsay from Mina Loy's 'Ladies in an Aviary, ' Kaplan ponders her own complicit inclinations. The poems' syntactical phrases veer, skip, and hover, defying time and vantage points: 'the only fine thing, the only petaled thing, the gray / path slowly curving to the right, to the left, curving away the only only / soft thing.' At once furtive and bold, Kaplan considers the very 'nature' of herself and these spaces and 'how / to get outside enough to see myself looking in.' An intricate and gorgeous book by one of our most inventive poets.--Molly Bendall.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. New oversized hardcover in new dust jacket. 4to. (7.32 x 0.68 x 10.26 inches) B&W photos and illustrations. Includes maps, list of Inughuit names, sources of information, photographic credits and an index. 208 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This richly illustrated book takes a different angle on Robert E. Peary's North Pole expedition. By shifting the focus away from the unanswerable question of whether he truly reached 90º North Latitude, the authors shed light on equally important stories and discoveries that arose as a result of the infamous expedition. Peary's Arctic Quest ventures beyond the well-cited story of Peary's expedition and uncovers the truth about race relations, womens' scientific contributions, and climate change that are still relevant today. Readers will gain a greater appreciation for Peary's methodical and creative mind, the Inughuit's significant contributions to Arctic exploration, and the impact of Western expedition activity on the Inughuit community. The volume will also feature artifacts, drawings, and historic photographs with informative captions to tell little-known stories about Peary's 1908-1909 North Pole expedition. …
