Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all cultures and times, the poetic imagination has fed on the natural attributes of islands. An island is either a destination, or a home, or a place of exile and imprisonment, or simply a place to sojourn. It is an ideal vehicle for journeys treated as allegories, or for acts of finding that turn into acts of losing, or the reverse transformation. An island is not a continent; yet it can be an archipelago. An island is both a place in itself and a pretext for imaginings that need a local habitation and a name. It can give relief, and pleasure; or it can frustrate, isolate, and negate. Above all, it both invites and resists - or contains or constrains - the imagination. Poetry and Islands explores how islands become repositories of human longings and desires, a locus for some of our deepest fears and fantasies. It balances historical and geographical reference with a selective approach to poems and poets in English, and in translations into English. The study of particular poems in which islands figure in exemplary ways is balanced by a more detailed discussion of the poets who have played a major role in shaping human responses to islands on a global scale.

Book excerpt: Hanford Lennox Gordon's 'The Feast of the Virgins and Other Poems' is a collection of strikingly vivid and emotional poems that delve into themes of love, loss, and the human experience. Gordon's poetic style is rich in symbolism and imagery, drawing readers into a world of deep introspection and contemplation. The poems in this collection are a mix of traditional forms and free verse, showcasing Gordon's versatility and skill as a poet. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, these poems offer a glimpse into the psyche of a bygone era while still resonating with modern readers. Gordon's work stands out for its lyrical beauty and profound insights into the complexities of life and emotion. Hanford Lennox Gordon, a prominent Jamaican poet and playwright, was known for his contributions to Caribbean literature and his exploration of cultural identity. His experiences growing up in Jamaica and later traveling and studying in the United States influenced his writing style and thematic concerns. Gordon's deep connection to his homeland and his keen observations of human nature shine through in 'The Feast of the Virgins and Other Poems'. His work continues to be celebrated for its timeless relevance and universal appeal. I highly recommend 'The Feast of the Virgins and Other Poems' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking poetry that explores the depths of human experience. Gordon's collection offers a unique blend of beauty and introspection that will captivate poetry lovers and literary enthusiasts alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PETER HARGITAIs work, both in scope and in style, remains well outside the pale of current poetic fashion including the McPoems of MFA mills and the lip- tongue- ear literature of hiphop. Influenced by the great Hungarian poet Attila Jzsefs obsession with the eternal mother as a metaphor for all human longing, Hargitai probes the nature of spiritual exile on terms that are neither Freudian nor Jungian, American, or Hungarian, but on terms that are uniquely personal and movingly human. Praise for Peter Hargitais Mother Tongue: A Broken-Hungarian Love Song: If traditional confessional poetry, now considered classical, had its halcyon days in the work of Roethke, Lowell, and Plath, it can be said to have reached a new, ethnically charged peak in the work of Peter Hargitai. Pembroke Magazine Peter Hargitai is a remarkable versatile and humanely touching poet with a truly distinctive style and voice. These deeply probing intellectual poems exhibit an impressive range and vivacity of genres." Laurence Lieberman Poetry Editor University of Illinois Press
