Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Dickman engages the traces of his own living past in poems that “light both heart and mind” (David Kirby, New York Times). In the southeast Portland neighborhood of Matthew Dickman’s youth, parents are out of control and children are in chaos. Ghosts of longing, shame, and vulnerability haunt these luminous, hypnotic poems as Dickman confronts a childhood of ambient violence, well-intentioned but warped family relations, and confining definitions of identity. Wonderland reminds us that in neighborhoods filled with guns, skateboards, fights, booze, and heroin, and home to punk rockers, skinheads, poor kids, and single moms, we can also find innocence and love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luminous and hypnotic, this dynamic collection explores the dark edges of childhood, violence, race, class, and masculinity, by one of the most fearless poets of his generation. "Known for poems of universality of feeling, expressive lyricism of reflection, and heartrending allure" (Major Jackson), award-winning poet Matthew Dickman returns with a collection that engages the traces of his own living past, suffusing these poems with ghosts of longing, shame, and vulnerability. In the southeast Portland neighborhood of Dickman’s youth, parents are out of control and children are in chaos. With grief, anger, and, ultimately, understanding, Dickman confronts a childhood of ambient violence, well-intentioned but warped family relations, confining definitions of identity, and the deprivation of this particular Portland neighborhood in the 1980s. Wonderland reminds us that, while these neighborhoods are filled with guns, skateboards, fights, booze, and heroin, and home to punk rockers, skinheads, poor kids, and single moms, they are also places of innocence and love.

Download or read book Modernism in Wonderland written by John D. Morgenstern and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retracing the steps of a surprising array of 20th-century writers who ventured into the fantastical, topsy-turvy world of Lewis Carroll's fictions, this book demonstrates the full extent of Carroll's legacy in literary modernism. Testing the authority of language and mediation through extensive word-play and genre-bending, the Alice books undoubtedly prefigure literary modernism at its upmost experimental. The collection's chapters look beyond literary style to show how Carroll's writings had a far-reaching impact on modern life, from commercial culture to politics and philosophy. This book shows us the Alice we recognize from Carroll's novels but also the Alice modernist writers encountered through the looking-glass of these extraliterary discourses. Recovering a common touchstone between the likes of T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, W. H. Auden, and writers conventionally regarded on the periphery of modernist studies, such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Sylvia Plath, Jorge Luis Borges, Flann O'Brien, and Vladimir Nabokov, this volume ultimately provides a new entry-point into a more broadly conceptualised global modernism.

Download or read book The Dews of Wonderland written by Raihana Barvin and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dews of Wonderland is a collection of poems about experiences and emotions. Generally, poems are the intense experiences of human lives, and it is essential to write and study poetry in order to record and know the history of humanity. The experience of a man is not his complete personal; instead, it’s the most common living condition of the whole of mankind. Thus, sharing an individual’s experiences of his critical times with his inner as well as outer worlds and the emotions they evoke are inevitably important. Every poem in this collection carries different experiences and emotions, sometimes as a drop of dew and sometimes as a drop of tear. There is always a need to know and understand both experiences. The poems in this collection strongly deal with dilemmatic human psychology; emotional and psychological traumas; the conflict between fantasy and reality; and most notably, dreams. Also, they provide a critical outlook on society and human behaviour in general.
