Download or read book Fort Not written by Emily Skillings and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. In her highly anticipated debut collection, FORT NOT, Emily Skillings creates an "atmosphere for encounter," akin to searching for meaning through lip-reading. We soon realize that these poems are speaking to us in tones that appear elegantly improvisational. And while the poems may "shout from the periphery," it is not without reason, but because of their desire to direct the reader to a created space--a world that allows for "curved logic," "that dirty, off-gold color," "middle-class nausea," and "metallic power" to coexist. The mysteries here embrace a natural, physical music, pulling us into a moving current of painted images, poetic histories, and draped bodies evaporating to reveal others behind them, as quickly as they appear. "Although her language sometimes suggests she is from another planet, Emily Skillings knows how history happens on ours: 'There was a history there of men overtaking and rebuilding and casting to ruin, then drawing up new plans, beginning anew, hesitating, revising only to tear down and build again, and always slightly off-center.' This is about as normal as things get in this staggeringly beautiful, wildly offkilter account of daily life, or in Auden's words, 'A way of happening, a mouth.' Whatever. FORT NOT is a savagely brilliant debut."--John Ashbery "Emily Skillings' beauteous first book is an instruction manual on how to live your life. What is a book when it's a blush? A dropdown etiquette c/o flowers and a way to teach yourself: how to backchannel your garden, how to be a matron of no, how to wipe your dirt on other people, how to talk nice to the Holland Tunnel, how to shake in Carpet Town, how to make your sinuses more operatic, how to surrender a glacier. With each lesson, FORT NOT brushes back our inhibitions and dismantles our intentions."--Tan Lin "Emily Skillings throws you a lot of curves and I like that. Her poems are actually pretty dense and then suddenly she shifts (knowingly) into a radiant simplicity. I love her trembling, and though she asks 'is trembling / always bad?' it's clear she knows it's not. Emily's just trying to make us watch better. I love this poet's compulsive sense of risk, her sense of humor. I love her dread. I love her love of detail. Her revulsion. So finally, basing this opinion on my exploration of this one writer, I'll say that bitches are smart. Emily Skillings is very special. I'll keep reading her."--Eileen Myles
Download or read book A Poem Traveled Down My Arm written by Alice Walker and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this illuminating book, Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist and acclaimed poet Alice Walker reveals her remarkable philosophy of life. Curiously, this labor of love started with the author’s signature: Faced with the daunting task of providing autographs for multiple copies of one of her poetry collections, Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth, Walker turned an act of repetition into an act of inspiration. For each autograph became something more than a name: a thoughtful reflection, an impromptu sketch, a heartfelt poem. The result is this spontaneous burst of the unexpected. A Poem Traveled Down My Arm is a lovely collection of insights and drawings—by turns charming and humorous, provocative and profound—that represent the wisdom of one of today’s most beloved writers. The essence of Walker’s independent spirit emanates from words and images that are simple but deep in meaning. An empowering approach to life...the inspiration to live completely in the moment...the chance to nurture one’s creativity and peace of mind—all these beautiful elements are evoked by this unusual and original book.

Download or read book All the Flowers Kneeling written by Paul Tran and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Paul Tran’s debut collection of poems is indelible, this remarkable voice transforming itself as you read, eventually transforming you.” —Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel “This powerful debut marshals narrative lyrics and stark beauty to address personal and political violence.” —New York Times Book Review A profound meditation on physical, emotional, and psychological transformation in the aftermath of imperial violence and interpersonal abuse, from a poet both “tender and unflinching” (Khadijah Queen) Visceral and astonishing, Paul Tran's debut poetry collection All the Flowers Kneeling investigates intergenerational trauma, sexual violence, and U.S. imperialism in order to radically alter our understanding of freedom, power, and control. In poems of desire, gender, bodies, legacies, and imagined futures, Tran’s poems elucidate the complex and harrowing processes of reckoning and recovery, enhanced by innovative poetic forms that mirror the nonlinear emotional and psychological experiences of trauma survivors. At once grand and intimate, commanding and deeply vulnerable, All the Flowers Kneeling revels in rediscovering and reconfiguring the self, and ultimately becomes an essential testament to the human capacity for resilience, endurance, and love.
Download or read book In Her Own Words written by Velma Dora Terry and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Her Own Words: The Life and Inspirational Poems of Velma Dora Terry (1915-1999). A child of the windy wheat plains of central Kansas, Velma Dora Terry nee Cochren, lived a simple life of no great renown, yet she possessed a mother's heart, a poet's vision, and a prophet's faith. Velma lived in simple homes in Kansas, rude houses in the Ozarks, and small homes on the frosty Nebraska hills. She gave birth to ten children over thirty years and lost three as infants. She fell, she stumbled, but every time reached out to the God of her faith and tried to point others in that saving way. Velma's work originally appeared in several small collections that sold throughout southwestern Missouri and some poems also were printed in newspapers in the region. Now, for the first time, a majority of her work is being presented in its chronological order, along with a biographical and faith sketch of this woman who, in her poems, continues to speak today.

Book excerpt: A literary event: a follow-up to the internationally acclaimed poetry bestseller Autobiography of Red ("Amazing" -- Alice Munro) that takes its mythic boy-hero into the twenty-first century to tell a story all its own of love, loss, and the power of memory. In a stunningly original mix of poetry, drama, and narrative, Anne Carson brings the red-winged Geryon from Autobiography of Red, now called "G," into manhood, and through the complex labyrinths of the modern age. We join him as he travels with his friend and lover "Sad" (short for Sad But Great), a haunted war veteran; and with Ida, an artist, across a geography that ranges from plains of glacial ice to idyllic green pastures; from a psychiatric clinic to the somber housewhere G's mother must face her death. Haunted by Proust, juxtaposing the hunger for flight with the longing for family and home, this deeply powerful verse picaresque invites readers on an extraordinary journey of intellect, imagination, and soul.
