Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation • The electrifying collected works of “one of the most innovative and prominent avant-garde poets in early twentieth-century Japan” (The New Yorker). Translated by and with an introduction by Sawako Nakayasu An important and daringly experimental voice in Tokyo’s avant-garde poetry scene, Chika Sagawa broke with the gender-bound traditions of Japanese poetry. Growing up in isolated rural Japan, Sagawa moved to Tokyo at seventeen, and begin publishing her work at eighteen.She was immediately recognized as a leading light of the male-dominated Japanese literary scene; her work combines striking, unique imagery with Western influences. The results are short, sharp, surreal poems about human fragility and the beauty of nature from Japan’s first female Modernist poet. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.

Download or read book Void and Compensation written by Michael Anthony Morse and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "In this debut from a grownup poet, heartfelt scenes are filmed by a jittery cameraman, making for a moving read that will appeal to those who don't take their poetry quite straight, who want to be led, like 'wayward bees to open windows.'" Craig Morgan Teicher for National Public Radio "There is a keen and seamless craftsmanship in Michael Morse's poems, which are beautifully understated and distinctly well made. They are quiet, but they have dark undertows, and I find some of them heartbreaking. There is real quality and depth in the poetry of this gifted and caring poet." Edward Hirsch "Morse's astonishing centerpiece poem '(Poem as Aporia Between Lighthouses)' establishes him as a worthy successor to, among others, Wallace Stevens: throughout this book Morse offers what Stevens called 'the poem of the mind in the act of finding / what will suffice' as in the 'Colorless bay waves / that adopt blue light and its orphaned molecules.'" Maureen McLane "When you come face to face with genius, you feel it with that pleasurable shock of recognition in something perfectly achieved and wildly imagined. Verbal genius, the genius of impersonal feeling, the genius of feeling that can't help but be personal, the genius of a music that combines all the best of Berryman and Hopkins, Stevens and Williams, these are the qualities that make VOID AND COMPENSATION one of the most original and pleasurable books that I've read in many years." Tom Sleigh "Reading Michael Morse's VOID AND COMPENSATION is like being on intravenous bliss and longing, in the presence of pure song. The tenderness of a man's trials trial as in inquiry, experiment, ordeal, worry rigmaroles with sheer musical bravura in these poems that turn metaphor and word play into a new 'weather of fevered unthinking.' Ambivalence is the keynote here, passionate ambivalence (conveyed through an equally passionate syntax). I love the indecision that allows the deepest human truths (doubt, desire, hope, regret) to draw a 'promiscuity of maps.' The speaker in these poems is equal parts lost and found, beautifully so." Catherine Barnett"

This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume we aimed to assess progress in determining the processes by which current patterns of tropical biodiversity were established and are maintained. Tropical regions are highly species-rich and we present studies that have improved our understanding of the generation of that diversity at local, regional and global scales. We demonstrate how diverse fields from molecular phylogenetics, phylogeography, palaeontology and palaeoecology continue to improve our understanding of the natural history of the tropics.
