Download or read book The Time at the End of this Writing written by Paolo Javier and published by Toyko ; Toronto : Ahadada Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Asian American Studies. In his first poetry collection, Paolo Javier overlaps life in New York with his childhood spent in Manila and Cairo and imagined senior years referred to as "The Lid To The Great Jar." Javier's poems sail over the handlebars of a Huffy bicycle; saunter through the city onto balconies with lovers; respond to the visual art of Manuel Ocampo; and curse a botched reading of Tagalog. Of this book, Anselm Berrigan says, "Perceptive poems; that there is pleasure despite it all in never knowing what might happen next is no small part of what they know."

Download or read book A Magic Book written by Sasha Steensen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If poems are, in some part, spells against finitude, then A Magic Book is a compendium of powerful spells; an alternative history, offering alternative myths, of the middle ages of the United States of America. Where religion must be erased and where industry is a given, magic steps in with its hoaxes and hopefulness. Sasha Steensen deftly inscribes, using treatise, factoid, rhyme, and timeline, the choices we have made, culturally, against a belief in invisibility: What we have not seen, must not be: "never harm nor spell nor charm"

Download or read book Behind the Lines written by Philip Metres and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether Thersites in Homer’s Iliad, Wilfred Owen in “Dulce et Decorum Est,” or Allen Ginsberg in “Wichita Vortex Sutra,” poets have long given solitary voice against the brutality of war. The hasty cancellation of the 2003 White House symposium “Poetry and the American Voice” in the face of protests by Sam Hamill and other invited guests against the coming “shock and awe” campaign in Iraq reminded us that poetry and poets still have the power to challenge the powerful. Behind the Lines investigates American war resistance poetry from the Second World War through the Iraq wars. Rather than simply chronicling the genre, Philip Metres argues that this poetry gets to the heart of who is authorized to speak about war and how it can be represented. As such, he explores a largely neglected area of scholarship: the poet’s relationship to dissenting political movements and the nation. In his elegant study, Metres examines the ways in which war resistance is registered not only in terms of its content but also at the level of the lyric. He proposes that protest poetry constitutes a subgenre that—by virtue of its preoccupation with politics, history, and trauma—probes the limits of American lyric poetry. Thus, war resistance poetry—and the role of what Shelley calls unacknowledged legislators—is a crucial, though largely unexamined, body of writing that stands at the center of dissident political movements.
