Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. With tender attention and a keenly embodied curiosity, the poems inI am the dead, who, you take care of meare acutely aware of the ways in which language communes the living and the dead.Followingthe poet's recent prose work on the historical and ecological conflicts of the American West,these poems are necrosocial biomes where the living play dead and the dead bite back. Here we find that the past is "a perfect copy of the land./ But with all the panic of the meat."By situating himself among lyric poets such as Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, and Amiri Baraka, Anthony McCann reveals how poetry can be both an unnerving and enlivening sort of devotion. "I want life/but for the living" he writes. By turns playful, mournful, and darkly humorous, these are works which ultimately leave us emboldenedintheir wake.

Praise for Dara Wiers previous work:"Wier's poems explode with variety, particularity, whirlwinds of detail and mystery . . . memoirs, dialogues, choral performances witnessing scenes both weird and familiar."Rain Taxi"Dara Wier's Reverse Rapture is a mosaic whose colossal proportions contradict the mundane character of its countless self-contained tesserae. It may not be for the faint of heartmost intense experiences aren'tbut those who stay with it will find themselves face to face with a world whose eerily sharp focus suggests recent satellite photographs of Mars. And they will never be the same again."John AshberySpanning 1977 to 2006, Selected Poems is a major retrospective that will stand as an indispensable record of turn-of-the-millennium poetry. The progression of Dara Wiers poetry over the last thirty years mirrorsand simultaneously transcendsthe evolution of American poetry, from the lyric poems of the Deep South to the complex intensity of poems in more recent volumes such as Remnants of Hannah and Reverse Rapture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Without the copying process," the poet Dolores Dorantes has said, "there would be no life, no reality." Through deconstructed dictionary entries and powerfully syncopated, recursive texts, Copy is a prose poem sequence that insinuates an experience of violent removal: a person's disappearance from a country, from normal life, and forcible reintegration into a new social and existential configuration. This displaced, dispossessed voice explores what it means to be extracted, subtracted, abstracted out of being-and returned into it. Meditative, urgent, and alive, Copy asserts itself as an invocation, both intensely personal and insistently communal, of the right to refuge, and it enacts a powerful homage to the human capacity for creation and metamorphosis. In this way, this book points to the wound of being extricated, serving as both a suture and a salve. From Mexican-born poet Dolores Dorantes, Copy is a book-length prose poem examining extrication, refuge, and reintegration, presented in English for the first time by award-winning translator Robin Meyers.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The five poem-essays of Chris Nealon's The Shore give space and voice to the complexity of contemporary life, admitting bafflement and dismay but also creating openings for indiscreet hope. Queer and anti-capitalist, they urge us not to be ruled by our fears, while always ethically navigating the forces-race, class, age, gender, and others-that put us each in different places of power. Nimbly exploring connections among beauty, friendship, and politics, The Shore gives our era of crisis a language at once vernacular and philosophical, in a form that's both teeming and fluid. Capacious works that explore social and political strife with simultaneous tenderness and strength.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Best-known for his gritty and uproarious prose poetry collection, Letters to Wendy's, Wenderoth began his career with two books of gimlet-eyed, world-weary, hard-hitting poetry. Now he returns to verse, favoring (as before) relatively short poems, often twelve lines or less, most of which crackle with a bleakness that's part gallows humor, part outrage, and part despair."--Publishers Weekly. He is a professor of English at the University of California, Davis. Wenderoth returns with poems of broad scope: coarse, playful, and unapologetically earnest.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Body & Glass extends Koeneke's experimentations in Etruria with a tightly woven set of more compact poems that brighten and sharpen the lyric's usual corners. The 'anonymous' forms of folk song and epitaph, parable and textual fragment, arrange to sketch the selves, living and dead, who might say them. These are poems of an improvised interiority, shared between the poet and reader but broad enough for multitudes. This poet's formal experiments once again bring into relief the beauties and absurdities from the dead past as they live on in our present age.
