Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Laura Isabela Amsel's Brief Campaign of Sting and Sweet explores the personal sting of a difficult father, breast cancer, and an unexpected divorce, as well as the more general sting of habitat loss and climate change, yet the sweet remains-horses and birds and flowers survive the squeeze of suburban development, and the poet's own travels and memories of travel begin to open the present up to new possibilities. Amsel distinguishes herself by her linguistic exuberance and craft, her risk-taking and her ear for nuance, for cadence and resonance. The poems in Brief Campaign achieve a complex and formal-if grief-shadowed-beauty.-Jon Davis, founder of the Institute of American Indian Arts' MFA Program and author of fourteen poetry collections, including Above the Bejeweled City and Fearless Now and NamelessLaura Isabela Amsel's beautiful poems tap emotion like spiles in maple trunks. She knows the natural world like few do, shares her loot with us wing flutter by quiet slither before the inevitable bite. Her imagery transports the reader to a place one might only have in muscle memory. Amsel reminds us that we are all part of something larger and more layered than our self-made human boxes. An extraordinary collection worthy of rereading time and again. -Amanda Boyden, author of the international bestselling novels Pretty Little Dirty, Babylon Rolling, and the memoir I Got the Dog In A Brief Campaign of Sting and Sweet, 'seeing sharpens / into sudden spectacle.' Laura Isabela Amsel's intrepid debut collection forages the open country of the heart, plucking out, in Auden's phrase, 'the images.that hurt and connect.' Here are poems that, 'hum in the] mouth's hive'; that pulse with ecological attention; that search, sear, sting, supply the balm, and stitch open wounds into song. With this compelling book, Amsel claims her place as a poet in full possession of her gift. -Michael Pickard, Ph.D., Eudora Welty Chair of Southern Literature, Millsaps College.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. MIRACLE STRIP, a poetry collection by Matt Layne, is a hybrid of the written and spoken word. Each piece of the collection has an embellished QR code which, when scanned, transforms you from reader into listener. In the campfire tradition of storytelling, the first line of the book invites you to tell me your story, and I will tell you mine, and like a couple of backwoods adventurers, you and the poet travel together through intricate memories of the deep south and the ghosts who haunt its environs as you journey through MIRACLE STRIP.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. LAUREN BACALL SHARES A LIMOUSINE celebrates women--famous, infamous, the fictional and the footnote, from Frida Kahlo to a Civil War soldier to the mother of Louis Braille to Mata Hari to Dorothy of Oz to Janis Joplin, and many more--in this irresistible and overflowing fountain of witty, sparkling and sensitive poems in voices. Poet Susan J. Erickson seemingly absorbed all the fascinating biographies and telling details of these women's lives, then spilled out poems that brim with memorable metaphor and insight. I'm reminded how profoundly and efficiently a poem can express human experience, and that women's experiences, never doubt it, are boundless. --Kathleen Flenniken, author of PLUME In LAUREN BACALL SHARES A LIMOUSINE, Susan J. Erickson reinvigorates the tradition of the dramatic monologue. I sit still, reflects Lucy, the wife of John James Audubon, during a silhouette cutting. The scissors know only / the shape of what is, / not what will be. Explaining her love for F. Scott Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda recalls, Because he moved with the grace of a fencer / dueling with his shadow. But the women of these pages are more than wives; they are pilots and prisoners of war, makers and musicians, actors and artists. One of several standout ekphrastic sequences invokes Georgia O'Keeffe's sense of the Southwest landscape: a place that picks clean / the gristle and fat of regret. Equally inventive is the collection's play with occupying outside texts--Zelda's recipe for bacon and eggs, Marilyn Monroe's self-portrait as the menu items at Schrafft's--and received forms such as the abcedarian and the pantoum. Erickson has a gift for arresting openings, as when Emily Dickinson Introduces Her Blog Propelled by chance's cosmic pull / This Thing called Internet / Allows me from my garret space / To publish this gazette. Clever, haunting, voluptuous, and nervy in turn, these poems challenge our understanding of womanhood across two continents and three centuries. --Sandra Beasley, author of I WAS THE JUKEBOX and COUNT THE WAVES In Susan J. Erickson's highly-crafted collection of poems, LAUREN BACALL SHARES A LIMOUSINE, we return to the women who came before us. From the well-known Frida Kahlo and Marilyn Monroe to the lesser-known Monique Braille and Lucy Audubon, these poems offer surprise, delight, and poignancy. Erickson's sharp sense of play and imagination is her signature on these poems--the Venus de Milo dresses for a Halloween party, the Little Mermaid joins the Aquatic Arts Academy. The reader is rewarded with every turn of the page as the lives (both real and imagined) are spoken, explored, and expanded. Here, women stretch in the spaces of the calm and chaos of sunrise and sunset, / the shimmer of amber, / the roar from the lion's mouth. Smart and accessible, these poems satisfy our desire for stories, and Erickson doesn't disappoint. Recommended for every bookshelf. --Kelli Russell Agodon, Author of HOURGLASS MUSEUM & THE DAILY POET.…
