Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Took the Last Bus Home is the first and long-awaited collection of ingeniously hilarious and surprisingly touching poems from Brian Bilston, the mysterious ‘Poet Laureate of Twitter’.

Constantly experimenting with literary form, Bilston’s words have been known to float off the page, take the shape of the subjects they explore, and reflect our contemporary world in the form of Excel spreadsheets, Venn diagrams and Scrabble tiles. This irresistibly charming collection of his best-loved poems will make you laugh out loud while making you question the very essence of the human condition in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Bus Girl written by Gretchen Josephson and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written over the course of several decades, Bus Girl is a thought-provoking, often humorous, collection of poems from a woman born with Down syndrome. With passages beginning from early adulthood, we read of Gretchen's development as she matures from parental dependence toward independence and adult relationships -- including romance and marriage. A self-taught poet, Gretchen's voice is direct, honest, and at times, cutting. Her experiences working as a bus girl in the Golden Tea Room of a Denver department store form the core of this book: this is her sense of belonging: a world where she found purpose and success. When the store closes and Gretchen loses her job, it becomes immediately apparent how a sense of purpose and achievement is critical to us all. Interspersed throughout the text are short riffs about country music, nature, family vacations, relatives, and Gretchen's views on life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the most gifted and accomplished poets of his generation (Mark Rudman). The three long poems in Eye Against Eye convey the wrought particulars of intimate human relations, perceptions of the landscape, and the historical moment, tense with political exigencies. Mayan ruins invoke the collapsing Twin Towers, love between parents and child blister with tension, and a bicycle thief shatters the narcotic illusion of a private accord. Also contained is Late Summer Entry, a series of poetic commentaries on Sally Mann's landscape photographs. Eye Against Eye, Forrest Gander's third book with New Directions, cries out an ethical concern for the ways we see each other and the world, the potential to share a vision that acknowledges our commonality. As always with Gander's poetry, suspensions and repetitions drive toward a complex emotional experience, evoking the multifaceted, multi-vocal surge of our present.
