Download or read book Caligulan written by Ernest Hilbert and published by Measure Press Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Hilbert's third collection of poems, Caligulan, is at once terrifying and touching, a book haunted by the poet's many affections and angers, its poems animated by horror films, military history, science fiction novels, heavy metal and opera, crime and religion, economic injustice and the natural world. Departing from the experimental sonnet forms he pioneered in his earlier books, Hilbert delivers a chorus of poems that are conversational yet bizarre, stormy and surreal yet dexterously accomplished; brash, abrupt, and sometimes scathingly sarcastic. In four chapters of fourteen poems each, Hilbert leads the reader through modern America's triumphs and tragedies, elusive consolations and primeval horrors, all the while telling jokes, posing questions, and sounding warnings of things to come. Caligulan is heartrending and humorous, filled with love songs and requiems, meditations and memorials, as Hilbert imagines the ghost of the ruthless Roman emperor Caligula--who ruled over a pagan empire that was as prosperous as it was unaccountably cruel--looming over modern America, pronouncing his infamous commandment that his victims be killed slowly, "so that they know they are dying." Caligula's unpredictable violence is mirrored in the infinite humiliations, reverses, and injuries of contemporary life experienced in these pages as our guide points us toward a course of renewal and reconciliation. Caligulan is a masterful new collection from a commanding and original poetic voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ryan Wilson's unsettling debut collection The Stranger World is filled with poems of menace and promise, surprise and sorrow, tempered by gentle humor and always tuned to a fine music. The long poem 'Authority' reads like a masterpiece of modern horror. The deeply psychological 'Xenia' is a minor miracle of a poem. These pages contain 'real shores across imagined seas . . . where black suns set, ' where the poet meditates on 'that present unity / of absences the living move among.' Each page of The Stranger World yields a new delight. Wilson proves himself a worthy heir to Anthony Hecht with this remarkable, disarming, and genuinely moving book. Seek it out." -- Ernest Hilbert

Download or read book Geographies of Soul and Taffeta written by Sarah Sarai and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Sarai's Geographies of Soul and Taffeta takes place in a universe where the real and the unreal meet each other in a careful, ecstatic dance, where words melt into their partners and opposites, and Yin and Yang swirl together like the best kind of soft serve ice cream. The ideas and images here are exact, surprising, and often humorous: in fact, Sarai's poems strike new ground in being intelligent and far reaching while maintaining an air of humility and matter of factness. --Christine Hamm The poems in Sarah Sarai's Geographies of Soul and Taffeta are little transgressions, butterflies a-wing. They present a poetry of surprise. Don't expect candy (though there might be some); don't expect demons (even the ones who live there). Dive in, world-hunter, dream-needer. Let Sarai's vision and images wing you to your next place, fiercely reflective and very much alive. --Richard Loranger Sarah Sarai's Geographies of Soul and Taffeta is a strong and beautiful sequence of poems. What haunts me most has to do with the emotional acuity and authority, how the poems' subjectivities are rendered essential. The generosity, the word play and re-play, the variations, the real world and its perpetual redemptions, the imagination's power not to transform exactly, but to reveal, which is transforming--all make Sarai's new collection a rewarding and an astonishing read. --Debora Lidov Sarah Sarai was born in Port Washington, grew up in California, and lives in New York. A former English teacher and college professor, she is now an editor and researcher. She has an MFA in fiction from Sarah Lawrence College. Collections include The Future Is Happy, I Feel Good, Emily Dickinson's Coconut Face, O You of the Cotton Pajamas, and The Risen Barbie. Her poems appear in numerous journals and anthologies.
