She proves that when a woman learns to love herself, she will live a fierce and full life and teach her daughters to do the same.

Book excerpt: In her fourth full-length book, White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia, Kiki Petrosino turns her gaze to Virginia, where she digs into her genealogical and intellectual roots, while contemplating the knotty legacies of slavery and discrimination in the Upper South. From a stunning double crown sonnet, to erasure poetry contained within DNA testing results, the poems in this collection are as wide-ranging in form as they are bountiful in wordplay and truth. In her poem 'The Shop at Monticello,' she writes: 'I’m a black body in this Commonwealth, which turned black bodies/ into money. Now, I have money to spend on little trinkets to remind me/ of this fact. I’m a money machine & my body constitutes the common wealth.' Speaking to history, loss, and injustice with wisdom, innovation, and a scientific determination to find the poetic truth, White Blood plants Petrosino’s name ever more firmly in the contemporary canon.

Download or read book Deluge written by Leila Chatti and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “To write a series of poems out of extreme illness is a bracing accomplishment indeed. In Deluge... Leila Chatti, born of a Catholic mother and a Muslim father, brilliantly explores the trauma." —Naomi Shihab Nye, The New York Times In her early twenties, Leila Chatti started bleeding and did not stop. Physicians referred to this bleeding as flooding. In the Qur’an, as in the Bible, the Flood was sent as punishment. The idea of disease as punishment drives this collection’s themes of shame, illness, grief, and gender, transmuting religious narratives through the lens of a young Arab-American woman suffering a taboo female affliction. Deluge investigates the childhood roots of faith and desire alongside their present day enactments. Chatti’s remarkably direct voice makes use of innovative poetic form to gaze unflinchingly at what she was taught to keep hidden. This powerful piece of life-writing depicts Chatti’s journey from diagnosis to surgery and remission in meticulous chronology that binds body to spirit and advocates for the salvation of both. Chatti blends personal narrative, religious imagery, and medical terminology in a chronicle of illness, womanhood, and faith.
Download or read book I Have Been Bleeding written by Dylan S. Geick and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Have Been Bleeding is Dylan Geick's sophomore collection of poetry: written as wanderer, lover, soldier, and finally man. Here he explores purpose and presence, myth and memory, and empire and war, weaving a desperate pursuit for god, the father, and beloved throughout. There is a personal narrative and a cosmic searching - a yogic enterprise of carving truth from experience and losing your self to the world. These poems were written on motorcycles and in sleeping bags lying next to a rifle. They were written in bunk beds by red light, under a hooch in a rainstorm, and always with eyes on the moon. Geick has returned with renewed purpose as an artist, and he has cleared his throat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bleeding Heart has themes and content which cover a wide spectrum of life, including politics, history, culture, nature and humanity. Other areas revolve around the universal themes of war, peace, love, and hate. Kaaya Shilia belongs to the group of post-modernist young writers, whose taste has been conditioned by the social character of their age, the age of ICT, and of the glory and gloom of globalization.

It is in the digging of this "why" that one discovers the underlying meaning and beauty of the words contained in a particular poem.

Book excerpt: "Katie Ford's is a finely-wrought lyrical beauty, a poetry of detail and care, but she has set it within an epic arc." —Poetry I lie still, play dead, am delivered decree: our daughter weighs seven hundred dimes, paperclips, teaspoons of sugar, this child of grams for which the good nurse laid out her studies as a coin purse into which our tiny wealth clinked, our daughter spilling almost to the floor. —from "Of a Child Early Born" In Katie Ford's third collection, she sets her music into lyrics wrung from the world's dangers. Blood Lyrics is a mother's song, one seared with the knowledge that her country wages long, aching wars in which not all lives are equal. There is beauty imparted, too, but it arrives at a cost: "Don't say it's the beautiful / I praise," Ford writes. "I praise the human, / gutted and rising."

Book excerpt: DIVDIVA mesmerizing collection of poems of urban pain and immigrant alienation, humming with a current of genuine beauty and the pulse of life/divDIV/divDIVThe Concrete River’s poems are dispatches from city corners that CNN viewers never see, that few dare visit, and that fewer still manage to escape. Rodríguez sings corridos of barrios and busted Chicanos trying to make it in L.A. and Chicago, from ballads of Watts’s broken glass to blues played alongside a tequila bottle under an elevated train. But the music also captures moments of true beauty amid the hard urban surfaces, where the cries of the ’hood “deliver sacrifices / of sound and flesh, / as a mother’s milk flows,” while love and community offer renewed hope./divDIV /divDIVThis ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodríguez including rare images from the author’s personal collection./divDIV /div/div
