Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Free verse poems that merge surrealism with absurdism in their discussion of the complexities of the heart and the meanings in the creases of our souls, opening verbal doorways into what is absolute.Mockingbird's Proverbs is divided into three sections. The first section, "Mockingbird's Pr…overbs," contains "proverbs" poems, modeled on William Blake's "Proverbs of Hell" from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. They are short poems that contain statements of prediction, and plumb and interrogate forms and statements of inherited wisdom. The second section, "A Portion of Shadow," holds poems that contain always the awareness of death and darkness. Some are lively, energetic, imagistic poems that this awareness adds a layer of shadow to. The third, "Struggling, in Spite of Everything, to Survive," contains poems about surviving in this world in the face of death. "The moon is in labor" refers to the erosion of abortion rights. "Something is dancing in the corner of my eye" is a poem addressed to my daughter, about surviving. The last line in the book, "it (the poem) could save us if it wanted to" leaves open-ended the question of whether or not poetry really can save us. I hope that it can.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The complete collection of poems by Nansorhon, a 16th century sequestered noblewoman and one of Korea's first feminists in literature, considered by many Korean scholars to be Korea's greatest poet.Nansorhon's writes frequently in the Korean han style of "deep sighs," a thematically-styled… poetry reminiscent of the Chinese "women poets of anguish," practiced by writers such as Li, Ch'ing-chao (1084-1151). In this style, hardships that cannot be overcome but only endured are named and lamented: the death of children, abandonment by husbands, and destruction of households from war are a few examples. She did not lose the means to express her feelings, however, and her poetry remains as testament to the process of her responses to her life.The feminism of Nansorhon begins with her education and the act of writing poetry. If a Korean noblewoman of this period wrote about progressive themes that challenged social norms, she had to express the ideas by using personas and troping traditional formal structures. Poetry written in this manner could then be defended by the noblewoman as simply practicing variations on poetic tradition, despite the subtextual commentary on abandonment, experiences or opinions on sequestering, larger questions about socialized gender roles and identity, or what it means to be an artist.
