Paperback. Etat : New. Koestenbaum's book of poems minces memory and culture into titbits to propose a new 'nude' poetics. The collection draws upon his signature themes - stardom, scapegoating, aestheticism, nudism, exaltation - and cuts them into serial strips. Using techniques such as pointillism, mosaic, aphorism, litany and… philosophical investigation, the poet trips through a memory theatre whose luminaries range from Yvonne De Carlo to Hannah Arendt and assembles melancholy tesserae into tidily stanzaic sacrificial offerings.

Paperback. Etat : New. A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE, 2021Diane Glancy once again puts Indigenous women at the center of American history in her account of a young Inupiat woman who survived a treacherous arctic expedition alone. "This moving retelling of a heroic woman's journey demonstrates that history lives through an intimate…connection between two women beyond time's borders."-Booklist, starred reviewIn September 1921, a young Inupiat woman named Ada Blackjack traveled to Wrangel Island, 200 miles off the Arctic Coast of Siberia, as a cook and seamstress, along with four professional explorers. The expedition did not go as planned. When a rescue ship finally broke through the ice two years later, she was the only survivor. Diane Glancy discovered Blackjack's diary in the Dartmouth archives and created a new narrative based on the historical record and her vision of this woman's extraordinary life. She tells the story of a woman facing danger, loss, and unimaginable hardship, yet surviving against the odds where four "experts" could not. Beyond the expedition, the story examines Blackjack's childhood experiences at an Indian residential school, her struggles as a mother and wife, and the faith that enabled her to survive alone on a remote island in the Arctic Sea.Glancy's creative telling of this heroic tale is a high mark in her award-winning hybrid investigations of suffering, identity, and Native American history.

Paperback. Etat : New. In the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's 15th collection, Richard Howard looks back with humour, humanity and gusto at his own education in a small progressive Midwest private school. An entire sixth grade class comes to life and captivates the reader as it grapples with science and literature; teacher and pri…ncipal; and the hard facts and comic fancies of life itself. This work is fresh and free-handed, an achievement the more readily made since the book's contents involve the disciplines and exemptions, as well as the vocabulary of his own schooling.

Paperback. Etat : New. Christopher Cahill's debut collection is intensely seductive and inventively disquieting. An omnivore of poetry, Cahill's influences range from contemporary poetry, Irish poetry, Victorian poetry to Classical Latin. Described as the heir of James Schuyler and Phillip Larkin, Cahill's verse heightens and de…grades at the same time; his tone is one of nostalgia and scorn. The Drug of Choice is a lush and lacerating debut collection of poetry.

Paperback. Etat : New. The most original book of Julien Gracq's later output is about Nantes. It begins with a quotation from Beaudelaire that is repeated and distorted. Nantes, still haunted by Andr© Breton, Jacques Vache and Rimbaud behind them is reconstructed from a remembered image in which the lyc©e Cl©menceau occupies the… centre. Pathos filtered through humour guides the author as he writes of a child's experience of the hierarchy of urban spaces. This is a beautiful work, provocative and powerfully set amid verifiable and equally moving land- and cityscapes.

Paperback. Etat : New. Nomadologies is a complex and brilliant evocation of the fractured and hyphenated mindset of the contemporary Turkish writer and thinker. Erdag Göknar takes us on a dazzling virtual world tour encompassing history, aesthetics, and politics, from Bosnia to Chechnya to the Silk Road to Union Square and back…to the place that was once the center of the civilized world, Istanbul/Constantinople. Turkophiles like myself have been waiting for years for Göknar to publish his findings from the multilayered world he inhabits, and here it is. This is a book I shall be returning to often.Richard Tillinghast, author of An Armchair Traveller's History of Istanbul and cotranslator of Dirty August by Edip CanseverThe poems in Nomadologies connect moments of separation and union in a life lived between Turkey and America. Taking its organizing principle from the grammar of nomadic life, Nomadologies reveals that mobility is the most efficient strategy for sustaining contradictory existences. Here, we learn that poetry is a landscape of inhabitation, and perpetual exile is one's home.Erdag Göknar is a scholar, writer, and translator. He is best known for his award-winning translation of Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk's novel My Name Is Red. He is a faculty member at Duke University where he researches, teaches, and writes on Turkish Studies.

Paperback. Etat : New. "Coles is a true original." ?Tom SleighThe Stranger I Become probes the permeable boundary between inner life and outer, thought and action, science and experience. Poet Katharine Coles begins her lyric essays with a meditation on "the urge to move beyond, to understand myself as a stranger, estranged." Th…e essays travel, always on foot, from Coles's home with its kept and wild birds, into the canyon her home overlooks, itself populated with creatures ranging from voles to owls, moose, bobcats, and coyotes. From there, always looking, always walking, in the company of the words that move her, they traverse her neighborhood and distant places in this country and the world. All along, they consider the poetry that inhabits her: the winged creatures of Dickinson, Ashbery's "reflections," Keats's "irritable reaching," Anne Carson's ever-unreachable apples, and more. Taken together, they make up what Lance Olsen calls "a poetics of the vivid.".

Paperback. Etat : New. In Psalm to Whom(e), the restless and astonishing DianeGlancy continues to break new ground with a hybrid collection of personal writingsthat considers the relationship between place and faith; the need for movement,stability, and inner exploration; and the search for home. Psalm to Whom(e) centers on Kans…as and rural Texas, placesthat usually see the underside of planes. Glancy focuses on geography. History. Origins. Memory. Faith. Once in a while, in desperation, she offers a prayer to whom(e)ver isthere. Glancy stretches and pulls the language to see behind the words: oldNative thought patterns, for instance, or echoes of Gertrude Stein. She takesus with her into museums, churches, and national parks, shuttling freelybetween personal, cultural, and spiritual history, narration and poeticexploration.Psalm to Whom(e) defines the world as a place on which tomark, as evidenced in the earliest pictographs. Embedded in the markings on cave walls and rock facings are circles andspirals in which the impulses to move, to travel, to migrate, to explore one'sown inner wilderness and solitude are homed.The "whom(e)" is in an essay, "Among My Friends Are Lettersof the Alphabet." "As a loner I write alot because I have to have something to do and the letters of the alphabetalways are there." The isolation of Covid may have driven her farther back intohistory, she says. Into the beginning of faith on the prairie. Into her own believing on her grandfather'sfarm and her own father's work in the stockyards. "Sometimes I add letters towords. As an 'e' as in 'whome' becausethen I see home, for which I always am looking.".

Paperback. Etat : New. A New York Times Book Review New and Noteworthy Selection"The Marble Bed is a vision; it is an ode to life."-Rowan Ricardo Phillips"Each poem in The Marble Bed journeys far, wandering the territory of love's psyche."-Yusef Komunyakaa"One of the permanent poets of her generation."-Harold BloomGrace Schulman… rises to new heights in these poems of lament and praise. In The Marble Bed, a couple dances on a shore that is at once a shining turf and a graveyard of sea toss, of cracked shells, a skull-like carapace, and emerald weed. Here things sparkle with newness: an orchid come alive when rescued from a trash bin; the new year hidden in an egret's wing; Coltrane's ecstatic flight; a seductive, come-hither angel; a meteor's arc; a rainbow's painted ribbons; a glacial rock that glowers in moonlight. Even the tomb sculptures in an Italian cemetery sparkle with vitality. Schulman, grieving for her late husband, believes passionately in the power of art to redeem human transience. Her faith in art enables her to move from mourning to joyful wonder of existence as she meditates on an injured world and concludes: "Because I cannot lose the injured world / without losing the world, / I'll have to praise it.".

Paperback. Etat : New. Ashby Porter creates a world of flowering sadness, Spanish Moss and trailer parks. It is a tale of love ruined under the burning Florida sun amid phantasmagorical settings where present and future, life and death, love and aggression become entangled. The Near Future is a little jewel of a book, a very fun…ny novel about getting - among other things - old, and in Florida, and with less than one's entire dignity in tact. Porter's comic imagination is of the truly droll sort, he homes very closely upon the truth. - Richard Ford.
