Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Our Ancestors Did Not Breathe This Air brings fresh voices of poignancy and a much-needed representation in modern poetry. From the scents of a bustling street market in India to the warmth of stories rooted in Venezuela to snippets of college days shared in Boston, the poems feature an ache for grounds no longer walked upon. Through both verse and image, it tells stories of generational struggle, confronts systemic discrimination and cultural stigmas, and weaves an ode to the people and places they come from. Reading this book is like entering an intimate, enlivening conversation between friends, says filmmaker and Harvard lecturer, Musa Syeed. The writers' compassion for and trust in each other is evident throughout its pages. And in reading it, you too will feel cared for. Now medical students and graduate students by day, the poets hope their anthology will foster empathy and mutual reciprocity for the many intersectional facets they encapsulate. From the scents of a bustling street market in India to the warmth of stories rooted in Venezuela to snippets of college days shared at MIT, the poetry in this book features an ache for grounds no longer walked upon. With a range of distinct styles and voices, the poets' nuanced self-expression amounts to a piece that is both a prayer and a rebellion. Their words, introspective and reminiscing, witty and thoughtful, are an ode to that which makes them who they are and where they come from. Simultaneously, their voices reject dangerous stigmas, cultural taboos, and oppressive systems. In verse and image, Our Ancestors Did Not Breathe This Air is a bold and unfiltered collection recounting moments, tears, and dreams that have been generations in the making. Nehan Shujaat says this is a timeless collection that tells the story of all. Suhaib Webb adds I strongly encourage the reading and studying of this vital work. For Sana Aiyar, there is a poignancy to this collection that is both lyrical and urgent.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Angel Overkill. Douglas Burnet Smith, a vital force in Canadian poetry for fifty years, once again displays his mastery of a plain yet allusive narrative style. With the odd pairing of Vladimir Nabokov and Jack Kerouac as the book's tutelary mentors, and with Rilke's angels as over-achieving spiritual guides, Smith takes readers on a journey that begins on a public bus ride through the dilapidated streets of Havana to visit Hemingway's compound which conjures memories of the poet's childhood in the 1950s, of the far-reaching reverberations of the Cuban revolution, and of the polio epidemic raging across North America at the time. The long poem "59," like many others throughout the collection, reveals Smith's concern, or perhaps, more accurately, his obsession, with the past and its power. The journey includes extended, haunting detours to Mexico and Moscow, Florence and Sarajevo, among other places, where meditations on landscape and historical events produce poems suffused with terrifying yet indispensable insight. --Smith, Douglas Burnet Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
