Download or read book Poetry of the Civil Rights Movements in Australia and the United States 1960s 1980s written by Ameer Chasib Furaih and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the poetries of two Aboriginal Australian poets, namely Oodgeroo Noonuccal (formerly Kath Walker; 1920–1993) and Lionel Fogarty (1958– ) and two African American Black Arts poets , namely Amiri Baraka (formerly Everett LeRoi Jones; 1934–2014) and Sonia Sanchez (1943– ) to demonstrate their role in the struggle for civil and human rights of their peoples from the 1960s. The book demonstrates commonalities and differences in the strategies of these poets’ literary and political resistance. These poet-activists, though ethnically diverse and geographically dispersed, share comparable socio-political concerns and aspirations. Their activism is not a reflection of a single ideological current, but a bricolage of many ideologies and perspectives. They have engaged in trans-Pacific political movements and transgressed the borders of any one ideological territory. It is important to establish Aboriginal and African American trans-Pacific communication because these poets have collaborated and engaged in global politics (whether in the form of Garveyism or the “transnation”). Their poetries are characterized by an irresistible drive towards international rhizomatic collaboration and engagement. This is a transcontinental literary influence exerted by African American poets on Aboriginal poets during the 1960s and beyond.
Download or read book Sho written by Douglas Kearney and published by Wave Books. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRY Eschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney’s Sho aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks. Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his “stove-like imagination,” Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.

Book excerpt: The breath held or expelled in wonder, frustration or delight energises Emma Neale's writing. Poems in The Truth Garden take risks because they need to; in the clamour of family life they have required attention, collected thought and a spirited attitude. How else to "stockpile time, how hoard its shine," except in poems drawn from relationships, home and garden and cast in words that "spill like incandescence around your hands." - Cilla McQueen, 2011 Kathleen Grattan Award judge *** The Truth Garden is a beautifully produced collection of poetry that won the Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry 2011. The award was established with a bequest by Jocelyn Grattan, in memory of her mother, who was a poet, journalist, and editor. The Truth Garden is produced with attention to the traditional qualities of fine book production, in typography, illustration, design, paper, and binding. Additionally, the book is illustrated by Kathryn Madill and designed by Fiona Moffat.
Download or read book Make It the Same written by Jacob Edmond and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is full of copies. This proliferation includes not just the copying that occurs online and the replication enabled by globalization but the works of avant-garde writers challenging cultural and political authority. In Make It the Same, Jacob Edmond examines the turn toward repetition in poetry, using the explosion of copying to offer a deeply inventive account of modern and contemporary literature. Make It the Same explores how poetry—an art form associated with the singular, inimitable utterance—is increasingly made from other texts through sampling, appropriation, translation, remediation, performance, and other forms of repetition. Edmond tracks the rise of copy poetry across media from the tape recorder to the computer and through various cultures and languages, reading across aesthetic, linguistic, geopolitical, and technological divides. He illuminates the common form that unites a diverse range of writers from dub poets in the Caribbean to digital parodists in China, samizdat wordsmiths in Russia to Twitter-trolling provocateurs in the United States, analyzing the works of such writers as Kamau Brathwaite, Dmitri Prigov, Yang Lian, John Cayley, Caroline Bergvall, M. NourbeSe Philip, Kenneth Goldsmith, Vanessa Place, Christian Bök, Yi Sha, Hsia Yü, and Tan Lin. Edmond develops an alternative account of modernist and contemporary literature as defined not by innovation—as in Ezra Pound’s oft-repeated slogan “make it new”—but by a system of continuous copying. Make It the Same transforms global literary history, showing how the old hierarchies of original and derivative, center and periphery are overturned when we recognize copying as the engine of literary change.
Download or read book FROM THE INSIDE written by George Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NYC From the Inside is a gorgeous compendium: 179 poets you have and haven't heard of, generating over 280 boisterous pages of pure joy and pure pain, comedy and memory, satire and lament, lovers and haters, pizzas and drink and drugs, pavements; a call-and-response of Loisaida flinging its truths to the boroughs and getting those truths back again. Come and get it! - Alicia Ostriker, Poet Laureate, New York State 2018-2021 An unending array of pleasure: a feast, a banquet, a new taste on every page. It's my desert island pick. - Grace Cavalieri, producer, The Poet and the Poem, US Library of Congress This amazing Anthology, with its captivating rhythms, sounds and beats takes us in an all-encompassing arc around New York - this "selfish city amoeba" with "its shifting forms" under a moon "which looks like an overdose." The poems are connected to each other, a collective stream of consciousness which causes us to wander through neighborhoods in a kind of Joycean Ulysses' trip. The poets' acute eyes for details show us all the different worlds which compose this fast moving place - "with that click-clack speed city rhythm," but also unearth much of the unexpected and the unremembered like a "thin line between explorers and natives - the culture which keeps everyone captured, to which everyone emulates." This is a book of people "doing people things in their small frames." Walking down the subway stairs, we enter the final episode of this trip - the underworld, with its train whistles, its platform buskers, its schizophrenic poets, its blanket-clad people with "beards wet with liquor" - a mélange of absurdities, an immense panorama of futility and anarchy; a metaphor for our contemporary world. - Antje Stehn, curator, Rucksack, A Global Poetry Patchwork Project, Milano, Italy Here are bird's eye views, up close and personal. Here is high life and low life, high energy and quiet reflection. Here are the multifarious moods and aspects of a great city, found in abundance in this inclusive and exhilarating volume. These poems are wide-awake, as befits poems for the city that never sleeps - we see and experience the great metropolis as if for the first time. To re-phrase Dr. Johnson, if a person is tired of New York, then they are tired of life. - Penelope Shuttle, poet and novelist, UK, Cholmondely Award 2007 The late Anthony Bourdain always talked about getting "the good stuff," meaning the realest, the most delicious, the slightly dangerous. Opening this book is like that - and more. The poets here are legendary. This is a book you need in your life. Open it and smell the bread, the salt and flour, the water of our lives. - Sheila Fiona Black, co-editor Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability

Book excerpt: “Venkatraman has never met a heavy theme she did not like....Borrowing elements of fable, it's told with a recurring sense of awe by a boy whom the world, for most of his life, has existed only in stories.”—New York Times Book Review The author of the award-winning The Bridge Home brings readers another gripping novel set in Chennai, India, featuring a boy who's unexpectedly released into the world after spending his whole life in jail with his mom. Kabir has been in jail since the day he was born, because his mom is serving time for a crime she didn't commit. He's never met his dad, so the only family he's got are their cellmates, and the only place he feels the least bit free is in the classroom, where his kind teacher regales him with stories of the wonders of the outside world. Then one day a new warden arrives and announces Kabir is too old to stay. He gets handed over to a long-lost "uncle" who unfortunately turns out to be a fraud, and intends to sell Kabir. So Kabir does the only thing he can--run away as fast as his legs will take him. How does a boy with nowhere to go and no connections make his way? Fortunately, he befriends Rani, another street kid, and she takes him under her wing. But plotting their next move is hard--and fraught with danger--in a world that cares little for homeless, low caste children. This is not the world Kabir dreamed of--but he's discovered he's not the type to give up. Kabir is ready to show the world that he--and his mother--deserve a place in it.
Download or read book Mess and Mess and written by Douglas Kearney and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. African & African American Studies. Douglas Kearney writes, "If my writing makes a mess of things, it's not to flee understanding, but to map (mis-)understanding as a verb." The map's guide is MESS AND MESS AND, in which Kearney defines the terms that member his poetics, taking even prefixes as a call for semantic inquiry. Within are essays that explore "the Negrotesque," gloss specific poems and poetry collections, the inspirations (from life, literature, and otherwise) he drew upon when putting his pen to the page as well as studies and drafts from his journals. Simultaneously playful and cutting, Kearney's collection interrogates that which inspires, troubles, and recurs in his work, the mess(es) there. "The joy in reading MESS AND MESS AND comes from the way Douglas Kearney's writing performs and transforms the sensations of the historic, imagined and real black body into a kind of jive signification system of pun, gesture and resistance through time, space, etymology, gloss. Jive meaning: some mess, some movements, some secrets glyphed behind the hand, continually decoding and decoying the code. "Here, the body shifts to its proxy, language," as Kearney creates his own methods for naming and theorizing not just creative process but the experience of art and utterance as a relationship with the various phenomena of living, dying and getting free. Evoking the heady erotics of Nathaniel Mackey and the critical interventions of Adrian Piper, Douglas Kearney's meticulous and playful ars poetica illustrates the unseen dimensions of what makes his work necessarily graphic, totally vulnerable and admirably outrageous." Tisa Bryant "Now and then, in Altadena, Arkansas and elsewhere, mess is a unit of measure, enough of something to feed anyone that needs to be fed. It's in this regard that measure is poetry how we sustain and share, in sound and flavor, our capacity to make a living, to live beyond our means, which they keep on trying to keep all for themselves. What you're holding in your hands bears all of that. Shit is hard and terrible, and what you're holding in your hands, which is most definitely the shit, bears all of that, too. Humans have made a mess of things and nothing but swarm, sheen, shimmy, stagger and stutter is gonna get us in deep enough to get us out of it. An old-new analexical word search and blackword research project, an anamessianic mess for the end of time that no one can tell us how to use, MESS AND MESS AND is Miss Ann's apocalypse, Amos 'n' Andy's undermanumission, Douglas Kearney's antimassapiece." Fred Moten "This book is a Mess. It's a theory of Black cultural production that does its work by refusing to be straight(ened) up. It's Doug doing his do(o). Dig it. Like a mess of greens, this Mess is gritty to start with, but you know it's going to be goooood. Dig in. It won't read itself but it might read you." Evie Shockley"
