Download or read book Tasting Flight Poems written by Yiskah Rosenfeld and published by Madville Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A yearning dominates the vibrant poems in Tasting Flight, specifically the desire to be enough. Of course, though, one is always enough. The observant, insightful, and confident speaker in these poems knows this truth intellectually but searches to internalize such knowledge. All of the poems are deeply rooted in the lyrical tradition, following the switchbacks and curves of a mind always in motion, perhaps contemplating the beauty of moths at night or the intricacies of raising a child. Whatever the subject, Tasting Flight is a book that sings back to the exploding stars.—Charlotte Pence, author of Code and judge for the 2022 Arthur Smith Prize

Download or read book Designed for Flight written by Gregory Fraser and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for Flight both continues and enlarges the exploration of the rhythms of our emotional lives undertaken in Gregory Fraser’s first two collections. A master of metaphor, Fraser works magic within tightly controlled forms, loading lines with surprising juxtapositions and changes of direction. Taken together, the poems trace the sometimes instant, sometimes decades-long movement from incomprehensible loss and grief to rueful reflection and, if we’re lucky, uneasy accommodation. Casting a sharply observant eye on past selves, always steering clear of simple sentiment, the speaker in this collection looks back with bitter irony and forgiveness in equal measure. Against the fears and frustrations of childhood, the dissolution of a doomed relationship, and the distance between the hoped for and the actual, Fraser’s poems offer the imagination’s capacity for endless invention and the compensatory pleasures of art.

Download or read book Nothing by Design written by Mary Jo Salter and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful collection of verse––both light and dark, elegiac and affirmative––from one of our most admired poets. The title Nothing by Design is taken from Salter’s villanelle “Complaint for Absolute Divorce,” in which we’re asked to entertain the thought of a no-fault universe. The wary search for peace, personal and public, is a constant theme in poems as varied as “Our Friends the Enemy,” about the Christmas football match between German and British soldiers in 1914; “The Afterlife,” in which Egyptian tomb figurines labor to serve the dead; and “Voice of America,” where Salter returns to the Saint Petersburg of her exiled friend, the late Joseph Brodsky. A section of charming light verse serves as counterpoint to another series entitled “Bed of Letters,” in which Salter addresses the end of a long marriage. Artfully designed, with a highly intentional music, these poems movingly give form to the often unfathomable, yet very real, presence of nothingness and loss in our lives.

Book excerpt: "In poet Dianne Borsenik's new book Flight of Honey, the sounds of music, homages to visual art, maps of family geography, interactions with nature, and married life and related concerns, combine in a poetry collection that is as satisfying, fluid, and sticky as the titular sweetener. If ever a writer deserved to be Poet Laureate of Ohio, it would be Dianne Borsenik." -Gregg Shapiro, author of Refrain in Light (Souvenir Spoon Press, 2023) "Borsenik's new collection of poems is a lyrical journey through a year of experiences that mirror the changing seasons. In free verse poems, haiku, and haibun, Borsenik explores the tensions of life's highs and lows. One moment we can relish a "golden weekend" with days like honey, "richly aureate," and the next, we hunker down, struggle amid the booms and busts of history. Through it all, there is plenty of music, a soundtrack in language and in images- from a grandfather strumming a dulcimer somewhere in a West Virginia hollow to Aretha Franklin belting out her classic "Respect," to the music of the universe, "one giant composition plucked out / on a cosmic guitar." -Chuck Salmons, author of Patch Job (Night Ballet Press, 2017) and Stargazer Suite (11thour Press, 2016) "In this sweet collection, spiked with the poet's desire to live longer than her mother did ("genetic advantage/is not in my charts,") we have zany moments where Jesus roams the Wal-mart parking lot, sixties lyrics zing, and birds and feral cats screech in Midwest intersections. But the poems revel also in serious seasons of honey tasting, including the latter days, "the best of all," as Borsenik fills her hive with finely realized echo puns, ekphrasis, haiku, haibun, and many free-verse form explorations. We usually say this about fiction, but I have to say about this book of poems: I couldn't put it down." -Diane Kendig, author of Woman With a Fan: On Maria Blanchard (Shanti Arts, 2021) "For something so sweet, honey has a surprising depth of flavor, secret floral notes buried under waves of fructose and glucose. Similarly, the poetry of Dianne Borsenik will surprise you if you let it. There is joy and tranquility here that sometimes bubbles with mad effervescence, but also darker currents as she explores rustbelt landscapes, the Appalachian diaspora, the daughter-of-a-daughter-inlaw's blues, and her own mortality. Like the "flight of honey" in her title poem, she follows the seasons, tasting deep and mixing poetic forms to find her buried treasures. You will find haibun, ekphrastic poems, words on the wings of an uknown bird, and Jesus traipsing into Walmart. Much to loveand wonder over!" -R. C. Wilson, editor/publisher of Last Exit Press, curator of Last Exit Open Poetry Readings in Kent, OH "What life-affirming music is to be found in these meditations that travel from "a glass of ice cubes" all the way to "the solar lux." The Flight of Honey is graced by jays and bees, by the sweet honey of breath, "look at how the bodies touch" this book asks and hands us the spirit that rises on wings with each blessed passing day." -Sean Thomas Dougherty, Death Prefers the Minor Keys (BOA Editions, 2023)

Download or read book Mad Flights written by Robert Lunday and published by Robert Lunday. This book was released on 2002 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. This is the first collection of poems by a poet who received two fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, a Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University, and who grew up on Army posts, mainly in the South. One of the strongest poems in the collection, Major Lewis, tracks the author's intergenerational family's tie to the army, all the way to Vietnam and back to the reverberations of that war in the author's domestic life. Those readers reared in military families will be astounded at the chords (Lunday) strikes, and the echoes of their own lives they will find in the particulars of his--Mary Edwards Wertsch. Robert Lunday has combined a narrative impulse, a desire to tell the story, with an intense lyrical imagination, and the result is MAD FLIGHTS--Thomas Lux.
