Download or read book The Despairs written by Cid Corman and published by Cedar Hill Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "...poems with the shock of rightness - Cid Corman's poems. The look of delicacy is deceptive. More often it's leanness, poems growing from their own center - no influences, no formal props - then taking us back to the center by the shortest route. There, at center, leanness and rightness become song, an intensity of meaning that makes words pure. We know we have experienced real poetry because we have been where poetry really is" - Hayden Carruth."As if life were the/ most important thing/ on earth and earth were/ important and then/ we get a sudden/ glimpse of galaxies/ and black holes beyond." - "THE IMPORT."

Download or read book The Crowd of Time written by Timothy Hodor and published by Cedar Hill Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. This collection, the author's first, was written largely from Austria, the author's country of adoption, towards America, the land of his birth. So the language is at once private (not the language of his neighbors) and public (the language of business and politics). The work is concise but not lyrical, opening in the direction of journalism. "These poems are deceptively simple and subtle in their tasks; the occasional religious image when paired with the stark humanity of earth lend to the feel that a gap has been filled in with this collection. The voice is honest, images fresh and concrete - a fine collection"-New Issues Press
Download or read book Shadow of the Plum written by Carol Lem and published by Cedar Hill Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Carol [Lem] displays an affection for family, poets, students, and her dead lover that is vivid, honest, and memorable. She has created a book whose spirit this writer can borrow from, learn from. The music of her shakuhachi - the wind instrument she pitches in private - resounds on each page. When Carol Lem plays that ancient flute, we have no choice but to listen, entranced"- Gary Soto. "'How do I make my own life interesting and compelling to strangers?' is a question that should face every autobiographical poet. Carol Lem has managed to find an answer which is made up of her sharp powers of observation and her awareness of the poetic traditions that inform her poems"- Billy Collins.

"The Miranda of the brilliant opening sequence in Kathleen Aguero's new collection, DAUGHTER OF embodies Gilles and Guatarri's radical insight, from ANTI-OEDIPUS, that "the unconsciousness is an orphan and creates itself out of nature and man." Forged of equal parts will and insight, the Miranda who abandons her fate for the dark lore of her mother and brother is the mind and heart that course through all of the poems of this collection. Wide ranging and masterful in form, they wed sheer lyric gorgeousness with discursive gravity" Linda McCarriston. Be sure to check out Kathleen Aguero's other book, THE REAL WEATHER, also available from SPD.

Book excerpt: Poetry. "Maggie Jaffe's poems have a rare power and beauty that says something profound about the world we live in" - Howard Zinn. "This book ought to come with warning labels: 'Danger! Explosive Material!'; 'Mind-Altering Substance - Use with Care'; and, most important of all, 'Do not be captured with this book in your possession.' The blazing vision of Maggie Jaffe's poems transforms America's prisons into a BOOK OF REVELATIONS for our epoch" - H. Bruce Franklin. "Riot. Lock down. The guard -- / gray gun-metal eyes and serial-killer/ smile - barks, WHO STARTED THIS?/ Twelve hands go up. TWELVE/ DAYS IN THE HOLE./ WHO DIDN'T? Fifteen hands reach for the overhead pipes./ FIFTEEN DAYS IN THE HOLE./ He beats his nightstick with a pulsing/ rhythm against his thigh, all the while/ softly moaning, I'M GETTING HARD, / MAN, GETTING HARD." - "Ultimate Aphrodisiac.

Book excerpt: Poetry. "Zuckerman juxtaposes our rich and often willful U.S. American landscape against those other landscapes of th world upon which we impose such a negative influence yet before which we are conditioned to turn away. She does this with keen observation, lyric grace and exceptional poetic power. Perhaps the poems ofAMERIKA/AMERICA signal a return of the spirit of the sixties and seventies, when it was all right to empathize with humans everywhere. I hope so"-Margaret Randall"The guy whose bumper sticker says "USA Love it or Leave it" / weaves in and out of traffic and cuts me off. / My bumper shows the broken gun of a peace worker; / still, I give him the finger, would dearly love to kill him."

Book excerpt: Poetry. "Maggie Jaffe's poems have a rare power and beauty. She writes about Mayakovsky, Van Gogh, Kafka, Jean Seberg, and other extraordinary figures of our time, also about art and Fascism and Steve Biko, but never in a predictably political way, always in a way that astonishes us and that says something profound about the world we live in" --Howard Zinn. "Jaffe manages to infuse these poems and the people about whom she writes with grace and dignity and beauty. At once, she offers a vision of humanity at its worst and at its best. The juxtaposition is disturbingly effective" --W. D. Ehrhart.
