The Collected Poems of Hafiz

Hafiz

The Collected Poems of Hafiz

Hafiz was a Persian lyric poet (1315/17-1390) whose collected works, or «Divan», are as sacred to most Iranians as the Qur'an. He was highly acclaimed during his lifetime, and is by far the most popular poet in Iran, where they celebrate Hafiz Day on October 12. Although he was influenced by Islam, Hafiz is widely respected by Hindus, Christians and others for his beautiful turn of a phrase and for his regard of the universal soul. «The Collected Poems of Hafiz» touch on themes of love,...

The Works of Li Po

Li Po

The Works of Li Po

Li Po (701-762) rivals Du Fu for the title of China's greatest poet, and is considered to be the great Romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). He grew up in Sichuan province, China, and set out at the age of twenty-five to travel in the country, writing poems. A well-read student of both Confucianism and Taoism in his youth, and later an unofficial court poet, Li Po is credited as the author of over one thousand poems about wine, friendship, nature, solitude, and time. His works are...

A Season in Hell, The Drunken Boat, and Other Poems

Arthur Rimbaud's «A Season in Hell» is a prose poem loosely divided into nine parts. In one part of the poem the poet portrays quite transparently his own relationship with French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine. The two had a brief alcohol and drug fueled affair which finally came to end when Verlaine shot Rimbaud in the wrist in a drunken rage. «A Season in Hell,» which has been referred to as a pioneering example of modern symbolism, is included in this collection along with «The Drunken...

SLINGSHOT

Cyrée Jarelle Johnson

SLINGSHOT

SLINGSHOT questions the value of manhood, the price of sex, and the possibility of liberation. SLINGSHOT begins with the author ensconced in the menacing isolation of the pastoral, but once the work migrates to the City, monstrum grows form and fangs. In these messy, horny, desperate poems spun from dream logic, Cyrée Jarelle Johnson considers the consequences of black sexual and gender deviance, as well as the emotional burden of being forced to the rim of society, then punished for what...

The Sea Sleeps

Greg Miller

The Sea Sleeps

This collection draws heavily from the core devotional strain in Miller’s poetry, offering what novelist Fenton Johnson described in his review of Iron Wheel as “the vision and experience of that place where dark merges seamlessly into light; the house and home of grace—unasked for and perhaps undeserved, but transformative all the same.” Framed by meditations on the beginnings and possible post-human ends of culture, the new poems reflect on the callings and limits of art in responding to...

Still Pilgrim

Angela Alaimo O'Donnell

Still Pilgrim

Still Pilgrim is a collection of poems that chronicles the universal journey of life as seen through the eyes of a keenly-observant friend and fellow traveler. The reader accompanies the Still Pilgrim as she navigates the experiences that constitute her private history yet also serve to remind us of our own moments of enlightenment, epiphany, and encounter with mystery. Each of the 58 poems of the collection marks a way station along the pilgrimage, a kind of holy well where the Pilgrim and...

She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks

Brilliant, lyrical, and passionate, this collection from the acclaimed poet M. NourbeSe Philip is an extended jazz riff running along the themes of language, racism, colonialism, and exile. In this groundbreaking collection, Philip defiantly challenges and resoundingly overthrows the silencing of black women through appropriation of language, offering no less than superb poetry resonant with beauty and strength. She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks was originally published in 1989 and...

A Walk Through Life's Doors

Loreal Novella

A Walk Through Life's Doors

A Walk Through Life’s Doors is my second book of poems. It is my description of what poetry is to me. It is what I use to process my life’s ups and downs and the good and bad—memories that I want to remember. These are poems of the places my heart has been to; it’s a journey through my world. I believe that this book of poetry will relate to many of you who have gone through so many of life’s experiences dealing with love, hope, anger, and death. These poems live somewhere between a poem and...

Body Count

Kyla Jamieson

Body Count

Body Count focuses on Jamieson’s experience with a concussion and post-concussion syndrome and deals with the embodied costs of misogyny, the hostilities and precarities of life under neoliberal global capitalism, connection amidst the proliferation of persuasive technologies and the dizzying escapism of romance and pleasure—before the roughly chronological text is interrupted by a brain injury and its attendant symptoms: migraines, light and sound sensitivity, proprioceptive and ocular...

Watching a Man Break a Dog’s Back

Watching a Man Break a Dog’s Back

Watching a Man Break a Dog’s Back explores the question of how to live in a natural landscape that offers beauty while being consumed by industry, and in an economy that offers material benefits while denying dignity, meaning and a voice to many in order to satisfy the outsized appetites of the few. A cri de coeur from a poet who has long celebrated the voices of working people, the collection also grapples with why “anyone, in this era so profoundly lacking in grace, might want to make...

Broken Reflections

Broken Reflections

Broken Reflection is a trip inside the psyche of the creator where she expresses the emotion felt when confronting difficulties as a progression of poems.

I’ve never connected with writing like that, left me in tears.” – Shane Coles ...

ESL or You Weren't Here

Aldrin Valdez

ESL or You Weren't Here

ESL or You Weren’t Here tells the story of a queer Pinoy who immigrates to New York in the 1990s in order to be reunited with their parents. What follows is the poet’s awakening to the legacy of American imperialism & colonialism in the Philippines, and to the experience of living between languages, cultures, temporalities, and genders—untranslatable. ESLasks the reader to bear witness to embodied histories of forced immigration, separation and abandonment rooted in patriarchal racism.

Observations of a Warrior Poet

T. John Mattson

Observations of a Warrior Poet

My early lessons taught me to work hard and fight through the obstacles that would be encountered in my life. My poetic efforts began simply, without much structure, as I wrote about the issues that I was dealing with daily. Surviving homelessness and the culture that pierces through it, such as substance abuse, hostility, personal safety, etc., I was compelled to write about topics in a way that was clear and not overly symbolic. I soon began to feel drawn to issues that in my earlier days I...

Songs I Sing

Songs I Sing

Songs I Sing is the raised curtain to a woman, wife, mother, and leader who writes poetry because she must. These one-hundred-plus songs—simple, sweet, sacred, serious, silly, and sensual—seek to upturn every stone in the readers’ heart, resonate in the readers’ mind, and coax a repartee that reflects the impact of the poet’s thoughts, her experiences, her aspirations, her principles. Set to the melody of self-reflection, the rhythm of purposeful living and the tempo of tolerance, Songs I Sing...

Jump

This book of poetry is a must read in its fresh approach to life and intimacy. It draws on raw emotion in its attempt to get into the minds of its subjects. The wordplay is dynamic and displays a real vulnerability that most people experience but never admit. It is an appreciation of many subjects in life from womanhood and feminism to senseless acts of violence and racial harmony. The poems serve as a reminder that we are all alike because we all feel helplessness, heartbreak, and fear but also...
