Paperback. Etat : New. Toska derives its title from the Russian word which denotes a melancholic longing without a singular cause, longing for a better world than the late-stage capitalist hell we live in. Toska explores a sense of rootlessness and a sort of anti-nationalism; how the pervasive sense of being an immigrant or "in but not of" a place never quite dissipates, particularly amid the dissonance and alienation felt within U.S. culture gunning towards a vision of imperialist capitalist white-supremacist hegemony. These poems come to the weary conclusion, time and time again, that sexual liberalism/liberation and hedonism are only one sort of revelation - that this sort of openness and exploration isn't enough to save anyone from despair or the existentially weary feeling of toska from which the title takes its name. But desire is not just Eros - the poems carry a strong desire for a different world, for everyone.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Toska explores a sense of rootlessness and a sort of anti-nationalism; how the pervasive sense of being an immigrant or 'in but not of' a place never quite dissipates, particularly amid the dissonance and alienation felt within U.S. culture gunning towards a vision of imperialist, capitalist, white-supremacist hegemony. Still, within this bleak reality, there's an insistence on documenting and noticing the multivalence of desire-its delights & pitfalls alike. These poems come to the weary conclusion, time and time again, that sexual liberalism/liberation and hedonism are only one sort of revelation-that this sort of openness and exploration isn't enough to save anyone from despair or the existentially weary feeling of toska, from which the title takes its name. But desire is not just Eros-the poems carry a strong desire for a different world, for everyone'.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Fierce like the history of poetry itself, Alina Pleskova gives us poetry that explores how relations, love, and even failed love are where the real answers await. I would read anything she writes, a poet who gives the world back to us with her brilliant, assertive poems. Say Thank You Alina and BUY THIS BOOK!" --CAConrad "In Alina Pleskova's What Urge Will Save Us fever, competing economies of intimacies, work, and cultural expectation circulate together around a speaker who resists definition(s). Off-handed insight and candor brew an extremely subtle defiance here, allowing Pleskova to ask in subways, on sidewalks, of partners and friends all the gorgeous questions about how to resist and persist." --Cynthia Arrieu-King "I thought it'd be more years of / men repeating my jokes louder / instead I swallowed / something electric" and I'm not exaggerating when I say Alina's is the only poetry I read these days. What Urge Will Save Us is a potent little book, all summer thighs sticking to the bus seat and late-night existential crises tempered with tarot; the kind of thing you write "!!!" in the margins of and make your friends borrow like they could ever care the way you do. Forget mamochka with her zakuski and come drink up the sun tonight, it's all-in out here, it is, excuse me, really fucking great. You'll remember this one." -- Sonya Vatomsky "When your post-millennial love/life is feeling all Buffy S6 going through the motions minus that up-tempo musical number destined to be a breakaway pop hit- what's a girl to do? If you're Alina Pleskova, you re/write it, your own Ballad of Sexual Ennui, chronicling the struggle for intimacy & understanding among lovers & friends in a world gone weird. In her new chapbook, Pleskova writes with a weary wisdom, naked & true, sentimental minus the mawkish. Here is a suite of anthems for a sexual revolutionary charting her course out of the whimper & back to the bang. Her urge will save you if you let it." -- Jenn McCreary Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
