Download or read book Rise and Float written by Brian Tierney and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chosen by Randall Mann as a winner of the Jake Adam York Prize, Brian Tierney’s Rise and Float depicts the journey of a poet working—remarkably, miraculously—to make our most profound, private wounds visible on the page. With the “corpse of Frost” under his heel, Tierney reckons with a life that resists poetic rendition. The transgenerational impact of mental illness, a struggle with disordered eating, a father’s death from cancer, the loss of loved ones to addiction and suicide—all of these compound to “month after / month” and “dream / after dream” of struck-through lines. Still, Tierney commands poetry’s cathartic potential through searing images: wallpaper peeling like “wrist skin when a grater slips,” a “laugh as good as a scream,” pears as hard as a tumor. These poems commune with their ghosts not to overcome, but to release. The course of Rise and Float is not straightforward. Where one poem gently confesses to “trying, these days, to believe again / in people,” another concedes that “defeat / sometimes is defeat / without purpose.” Look: the chair is just a chair.” But therein lies the beauty of this collection: in the proximity (and occasional overlap) of these voices, we see something alluringly, openly human. Between a boy “torn open” by dogs and a suicide, “two beautiful teenagers are kissing.” Between screams, something intimate—hope, however difficult it may be.

Book excerpt: The perspective of this collection of poems is primarily that of a mother dealing with the many disabilities that someone in her life may have and that of the child himself or herself. Mothers have always had it tough. From the days of Adam & Eve, mothers have always faced challenges and fears that fathers either ignore, "delegate," or simply find a solution without any thought or emotion. But mothers...they are wired differently from the moment they realize they're expecting. A new instinct kicks in. And when a disability enters the joys of parenthood, the mother becomes a new form of superhero that the world is a better place because of her.
Download or read book Dear Azula I Have a Crush on Danny Phantom written by Azura Tyabji and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Button Poetry Prize Runner-Up Dear Azula, I Have a Crush on Danny Phantom is a crossover of our coming of age universes. Exploring the interplay of adolescence and media, Dear Azula is a masterclass on how Generation Z see themselves reflected on screen, how they find themselves in characters when the world does not grant them the possibility. These poems pay homage to the cartoon characters who made us the wicked lovestruck people that we are. These ubiquitous stories of teen ghost boys and water bending women gave wonder to a generation raised by recession. In illustrious villains we learned our own glamour. In chiseled chins and 2D teeth we learned desire. In Dear Azula, I Have a Crush on Danny Phantom we bring the early 2000s renaissance of animation into our modern lives to unpack, celebrate, revel, and remember.
Download or read book A Hundred Lovers written by Richie Hofmann and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An erotic journal in poems, from a rising star in the American poetry scene, author of the highly acclaimed collection Second Empire. “A book of love poems that consciously and subversively hearken back to Shakespeare’s sonnets, marking Hofmann’s position as one of our necessary poets of erotic desire.” —Jericho Brown, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Tradition A Hundred Lovers is a catalog of encounters, sublime, steamy, and frank. Inspired by French autofiction, the poems feel both sharp and diaristic; their lyrical, intimate world brings us everyday scenes imbued with sex. "Eros enters, where shame had lived," the speaker observes, as the poems explore risk and appetite, promiscuity and violence, and, in the wake of his marriage, questions about monogamy and desire. Bringing us both the carefully knotted silk ties of the wedding pair and their undress in a series of Hockney-like interiors where passion colors every object, Hofmann speaks plainly of the saliva, tears, and guts of the carnal, just as he does of the sublime in works of art. A Hundred Lovers invites us to consider our own memories of pleasure and pain, which fill the generous white space the poet leaves open to us between his ravishing lines.

Download or read book Dear Ms Schubert written by Ewa Lipska and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is composed of 62 poems selected from several of Ewa Lipska's books in which the figure Ms. Schubert appears. Ms. Schubert, a modern European everywoman, is the addressee in poems that read like brief, intimate communiqués between a man and a woman whose relationship over time interweaves a shared secret life with the historical domain of wars, extremist governments, shifting economies, languages (Polish, German, English), and technologies. Ms. Schubert, as recipient of these cryptic postcards, represents the poet's subtle call to her readers as we navigate our own historical moment-balancing sociopolitical action with the authentic love that can endure only between and among individuals"--

Download or read book Paean to Place written by Lorine Niedecker and published by Light & Dust Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. William Carlos Williams proclaimed Lorine Niedecker "the Emily Dickinson of our time." It's taken a while for more than a handful of poets with extremely acute ears and sensibilities to see how true that is. This is something that comes from the poetry itself, not in the projection of Dickinson's semi-mythical reclusiveness onto Niedecker, but in the way both women wrote poetry that can be read for a lifetime without losing its magic or becoming dull. This book, produced as a celebration of the author's 100th birthday, is the first to follow Niedecker's conception of how her most intensely autobiographical poem should be presented. This is the first time Niedecker's work has been thus treated in print. The work chronicles her life and the lives of her parents, all three of which included great sorrow and loss, but Niedecker's clarity and sparkling verse never descend into sentimentality, bringing out that which makes life worth living despite its disasters. Edited by Cid Corman.
