Download or read book Poetry from Sojourner written by Ruth Lepson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection of poems from 25 years of Sojourner For much of its history Sojourner was the most widely circulated feminist literary journal in America, and more than 1,200 poems have appeared in its pages since it began publication in 1975. Nearly 150 of those poems are collected in this volume, where together they form a powerful testament to the vibrancy, wit, and diversity of feminist poetry. In addition to works by such well-known poets as Molly Peacock, Nikki Giovanni, Betsy Sholl, and Adrienne Rich, this collection includes poems by women from a host of different backgrounds, including many whose work appeared in print for the first time in Sojourner. Some of these poems explode with energy, others speak with a haiku-like softness; some discuss love, lust, and sexuality, while others deal with loss, divorce, and revenge. The voices collected here are old and young, rural and urban, straight and gay, from mothers and daughters to wives, lovers, and countless others, all contributing to this anthology's wide-ranging conversation about feminism and feminist poetics.

Download or read book Parable Hunter written by Ricardo Pau-Llosa and published by Carnegie-Mellon University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four movements of Parable Hunter explore the themes of need, instinct, fulfillment and transcendence--the cardinal points of the self. What the points share is parable-making--the ground of all reflection. The identification of new vantage points on the world--in works of art, looking out of plane windows, or enveloped in nature and weather--itself becomes a parable for reflecting on the imagination, that stage where phenomenology and animism coalesce.

Book excerpt: As her title suggests, Susan Hutton's poems are about vanishing--not disappearances, exactly, but the way anything can appear lost when it becomes something else.
