Download or read book Whosoever Has Let a Minotaur Enter Them Or a Sonnet written by Emily Carr and published by McSweeney's Poetry. This book was released on 2016 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a love poet fall out of her marriage and back in love with the world? What happens when you grow up to be the "kind of person who..."? These fairytales are for the heartbreakers as much as the heartbroken, for those smitten with wanderlust, for those who believe in loving this world through art. A singular flow of bewildered brilliance, Emily Carr's swiftly flowing sequence of love poems--divorce poems, really--engages the very real problem of falling out of love because (admit it!) you never think you will. No matter how many times it's happened before. Imagine it: not limiting love to the erotic but embracing endeavor, struggle, social change, and political action. Love as consciousness, inventiveness, and intention. In a world that hurts as much as it holds. Carr's swell of gorgeous psychedelia is presented in a lavish book-object befitting the work's interconnected, page-defying sweep of line upon line: between her thighs, the buffalo holding sky. saucers of mountain sway. deities spill, shining & suffering ... not forgetting we can't ever--whose fury sings like eagles-- skeletons unlean from fruit trees, falling like white gunsmoke, we want/ to be here. listen. the wind has blown all the birds from our hair.

Download or read book Minotaur written by Benjamin Tammuz and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With echoes of Kafka and Conrad,” the acclaimed Israeli author of Castle in Spain offers “a provocative, spare, slow-to-unfold mystery of character” (Kirkus Reviews). On the day of his forty-first birthday, Israeli secret agent Alexander Abramov encounters a beautiful young redhead on a city bus. He immediately recognizes her as the woman he has been searching for all his life, the one he has loved forever. Though they have never met, he is certain this young woman named Thea is an essential part of his life’s destiny. Using all the tricks of his trade and communicating through anonymous letters, Abramov takes control of Thea’s life without ever revealing his identity. Soon, Abramov’s desperate, dangerous love for a woman half his age consumes everything in its path: time, distance, and rival suitors. And for Thea, keeping her lover safe from the amorous “Mr. Anonymous” becomes an obsession of her own. Only Abramov’s own story, of a life conditioned by isolation, distrust, violence, and murder, can explain his devastating manipulation of the woman he professes to love. Hailed by Graham Greene as “the best novel of the year” upon its initial release in 1981, Minotaur is a highly inventive literary thriller.
