Zong!

Zong!

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

In November, 1781, the captain of the slave ship Zong ordered that some 150 Africans be murdered by drowning so that the ship's owners could collect insurance monies. Relying entirely on the words of the legal decision Gregson v. Gilbert—the only extant public document related to the massacre of these African slaves—Zong! tells the story that cannot be told yet must be told. Equal parts song, moan, shout, oath, ululation, curse, and chant, Zong! excavates the legal text....

What Is Amazing

Heather Christle

What Is Amazing

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

Inspired by a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in Heather Christle's What Is Amazing describe and invent worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. Speakers play out moments of bravado and fear, love and mortality, disappointment and desire. They socialize incorrigibly with lakes,...

Threshold Songs

Threshold Songs

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

About Threshold Songs, the voices in these poems perform at the interior thresholds encountered each day, where we negotiate the unfathomable proximities of knowing and not knowing, the gulf of seeing and feeling, the uncanny relation of grief to joy, and the borderless nature of selfhood and tradition. Both conceptual and haunted, these poems explore the asymmetry of the body's chemistry and its effects on expression and form. The poems in Threshold Songs tune us to the...

There Are Three

There Are Three

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

Believing and espousing an American tradition alive in the testimony of Anne Hutchinson, in the prose-poetry of Thoreau, and in the music of Ives, Donald Revell's new poems seek moments of harmony between language and silence. The death of the poet's father and almost concurrent birth of his son form the emotional underpinnings of this meditation on faith. «Every morning, beginning in childhood, / the music of variation sustains / the equal loneliness of every soul.»...

Since issuing its first volumes in 1959, the Wesleyan poetry program has challenged the reigning aesthetic of the time and profoundly influenced the development of American poetry. One of the country's oldest programs, its greatest achievement has been the publication of early works by yet undiscovered poetry who have since become major awarded Pulitzer and Bollingen prizes, National Book Awards, and many other honors. At a time when other programs are being phased out,...

The Tatters

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

In this nuanced and moving new collection of poems, Brenda Coultas weaves a meditation on contemporary life and our place in it. Coultas, who is known for her investigative documentary approach, turns her attention to landfills and the odd histories embedded in the materials found there. The poems make their home among urban and rural detritus, waste, trinkets, and found objects. The title poem, for example, takes its cue from the random, often perfect, pigeon feathers found on...

The Sleep That Changed Everything

Lee Ann Brown

The Sleep That Changed Everything

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

Offering both subtle and immediate pleasures, Lee Ann Brown's generous new book extends her unmistakable, original voice, every bit as Southern as it is avant-garde, gracious without being naive. Abounding in a playfulness of style, including songs and ballads, the poems in The Sleep That Changed Everything are by turns funny, serious, insightful and moving. Botanical and scientific language are used here as collage elements to chart cycles of desire and emotional...

The Self-Dismembered Man

Guillaume Apollinaire's final years exactly coincided with the clamorous advent of European Modernism and with the cataclysms of WWI. In The Self-Dismembered Man, poet Donald Revell offers new English translations of the most powerful poems Apollinaire wrote during those years: poems of nascent surrealism, of combat and of war-weariness. Here, too, is Apollinaire's last testament, «The Pretty Redhead,» a farewell to the epoch that he—as poet, convict, art-critic,...

The Original 1939 Notebook of a Return to the Native Land

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

Aim&#233; C&#233;saire's masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. This long poem was the beginning of C&#233;saire's quest for n&#233;gritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. Commentary on C&#233;saire's work has often focused on its Cold War and anticolonialist rhetoric—material that C&#233;saire only added in 1956. The original...

Don Bogen calls the work an archeology, and uses details f life in past eras as a way of penetrating the surfaces of history.

The Folded Heart

Скачать книгу (fb2, )

Michael Collier's poems are like a living film of the image of one's past. In rich detail, they bring to life the geography of childhood—commonplace events that have a unique texture of one's own—a dream of flying, a secret obsession, a school pageant, a jam session in the garage. The memories are folded into the heart, but with an inevitable sense of loss, a sense of capturing «the moment held in the air, the illusion of something whole, something...

A book of new poems by a major writer is an event. A book of new poems that marks a different, more powerful approach is cause for celebration. «What I looked for here,» James Dickey tells us about The Eagle's Mile, «was a flicker of light &#8216;from another direction,' and when I caught it –; or thought I did –; I followed where it went, for better or worse.» In this new work, Dickey edges away from the narrative-based poems of his...
