Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'A Clay Matthews poem is like entering into a bigger intimacy one always hoped existed but feared believing in fully, except that his voice is so inviting that, once inside the poems, we have the joy of figuring out where to 'put all this / belief.''-Jeff Hardin, author of Watermark.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A poet who takes as much from the New York School as from the Metaphysicals, Arthur Vogelsang's images bespeak both imagination and intellect, his forms equal parts carpentry and classical piano, his aesthetic as whimsical as it is political. His 'good, nasty poems evoke the America of Norman Rockwell,' says John Ashbery, 'as Hieronymus Bosch might have painted it,' though Vogelsang at second or third glance is never as ironic or surreal as on first read. His 'absolutely familiar voice,' as one reviewer calls it, disarms amid tough syntax and surprising juxtapositions, and that same reviewer, Gerald Stern, in tracking the mixed polar qualities of Vogelsang's work, says 'by direction and by indirection he creates a verbal framework, a poetic tablet, the way a poet can, and if he's brave enough, does.'-The Poetry Foundation.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'You don't foresee the best poems. In a way, they all look alike-a family of vast resemblances. But you might, as with Lex Runciman's poems, forehear them. There is a rightness in their cadences; there is something sacred in their saying. . . . What he writes is, by definition, what the best poetry is. You can hear it on every page.'-Robert Wrigley, author of The True Account of Myself as a Bird.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'With compassion, unassuming slyness, and an eye for quirky detail, these poems build small moments into episodes that encapsulate whole eras . . . and turn riffs on the surrealness of everyday occurrences into catalogues that map the largeness of human perception.'-Benjamin Grossberg, author of My Husband Would: Poems.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Running Lights is a sweet balm; a consoling tributary, gentling through a world that, like a torrent, so often threatens to sweep us away. . . . Lauchlan is a poet adept at locating the holy in the mundane, . . . offering a vision of a world not entirely devoid of regret, yet never undone by it either.'-Kelly Fordon, author of What Trammels the Heart.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Whatever Dimness or Brightness will leave you 'drunk on your own sudden feeling / of belonging or connectedness / to the greater cosmic order and disorder / of things recognizable and not.' Rae Gouirand writes with furious elegance and cadenced power about longing and the raw intelligence of the body. Each poem is relentlessly alive, so alive I want to crawl into every line and feel the voltage. This book will defibrillate any hurting heart.' -MARGOT DOUAIHY.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'An amazing collection of poems filled with history and memory. While his work acknowledges the great players of the Negro Baseball League, this book also explores the theme of aging. What happens when the 'gift'? begins to fail. What happens when God refuses to promise us extra innings Johnson has given us a baseball book that understands and plays the blues. Baseball is a game of joy and sadness.'-E. Ethelbert Miller, author of If God Invented Baseball: Poems.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'These are poems of mortality, of loss, of generational nuance and dissonance and wisdom in the landscape of contemporary American violences. . . . They reflect the aesthetics of labor, of getting by. The forms of these poems feature short lines, a hushed compression, just right for the haunted resonance of their subjects, the landscapes infused with ghosts.'-Diane Seuss, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'In No Lost Feast, it feels as though the poems have turned feral. . . . But as wild, unpredictable, and undomesticated as Boyd's poems often are, they're always worth following-like a wolf with a nose for truffles. So much of the language Boyd chooses seems wrenched from the earth, as if each syllable has been dug out with his own two hands, and the resulting poems are honest and raw and gutting and worthy of multiple reads.'-Travis Mossotti, author of Apocryphal Genesis.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - As you savor this compelling collection, take in the shifting light, the changing timbre and texture of language as we journey by poem from Kazakhstan's 'climate and clamor,' as Jeff Fearnside writes, to the shaded, emerald fertility of western Oregon. Notice how these landscapes, from arid and rowdy to ripening and rooted, from Old World to New, are the perfect backdrops for celebrating the evolution of Fearnside's love for his life partner and wife. In verses that lightly graze the page or stake a bigger claim, Fearnside again and again reminds us what love is, whether for a landscape or a person, and of this we can always use reminding.-Ellen Waterston, Oregon Poet Laureate.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Folk and fairy tales, Spenser and Arnold, political outrage and political pragmatism and straight-up political protest, and the doublings, audiology and lyricology, frame-making and frame-breaking, studies in felinity and essays in divinity, impedances and sometimes delightful surprises of a real poet's double vision . . . it's all here.'-Stephanie Burt, author of We Are Mermaids.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The epiphanies of people living in a fractured, suburban American South make up the eight stories in Hope Coulter's debut story collection. A girl hears the tale of a delusional bride and struggles to understand what such a desperate reach for significance means for her own life; an inexplicable happening befalls a young, Depression-era family; three young white girls hold up the magic lantern of privilege in the last days of their innocence; a fast-growing storm brings a couple to the brink of their marriage; and a woman comes to terms with her life through the lens of paintings. Biting, canny, and tender, Rumors of Peace conjures a group of characters who, amid many kinds of upheaval, spin the magic of stories to make sense of their lives.…
