    "Shane Book's All Black Everything lyrics shine with work and the freedom of young people. Full of menace and humor, objects of warfare and luxury consumption are transformed with his blade of caustic irony against the world-wide nihilism of cash payments, guns, and disease. In their syncopated, slangy, and musically enjambed flow of the digital world, a poet known for singular collections has produced his most inventive and uncompromising volume yet. The political sublime of Caribbean poetics ebb and flood in this contagious new voice of borrowings, hijacking the trap house. An original collection, daring to assume the voice of the system and its death drives, having fun, mixing it up, throwing hands, too. If old pirates rob I, then Shane Book has stolen back something from them. All Black Everything is redemption song"--

  • av Hajar Hussaini
    281,-

    Hajar Hussaini's poems in Disbound scrutinize the social, political, and historical traces inherited from one's language. The traces she finds--the flow of international commodities implied in a plosive consonant, an image of the world's nations convening to reject the full stop--retrieve a personal history between countries (Afghanistan and the United States) and languages (Persian and English) that has been constantly disrupted and distorted by war, governments, and media. Hussaini sees the subjectivity emerging out of these traces as mirroring the governments to whom she has been subject, blurring the line between her identity and her legal identification. The poems of Disbound seek beauty and understanding in sadness and confusion, and find the chance for love in displacement, even as the space for reconciliation in politics and thought seems to get narrower.

  • av Vanessa Roveto
    295,-

    "To survive romantic love, the woman served the other woman desert dirt with shells as the truck stop receded into the distance" - so observes the mordantly detached voice of a women, an extravagantly pained, self-and-other-lacerating imaginative journey dedicated 'to relationship'.

  • av Oni Buchanan
    295,-

    As time beings, what we have is the time being, the present moment, however compromised, however shattered. Buchanan's characteristic combination of wry humour, nerve, empathy, wisdom, and outrage exposes the laughably absurd and the evisceratingly tragic all at once.

  • av Christopher Bolin
    281,-

    Was it a crater or a sinkhole?"" asks a voice in one of the mysterious, wonderstruck poems in Christopher Bolin's Form from Form, whose cadences modulate with the energies of form-making, deformation, and elusive reformation.

  • av Nick Twemlow
    266,-

    Reckons with fatherhood, the violence of nostalgia, poetry, and the commodity world of visual art as the poems here frantically cycle through responses to the speaker's son's remark on a painting by Julian Schnabel that it "looks like garbage."

  • av Pimone Triplett
    266,-

    With their extravagant musicality, Triplett's poems explore the thinning lines between responsibility and complicity, the tangled "supply chain" that unnervingly connects the domestic to the political, personal memory to social practice, and age-old familial discords to our new place in the anthropocentric world.

  • av Sarah V. Schweig
    281,-

    There are worlds we can imagine, but we live in this one: contingent and absurd. In her first full-length collection, Sarah V. Schweig aims to capture something essential and universal about this faulted inheritance. These poems operate on the notion that the lyric can be discovered in scattered headlines, office-wide emails, road signs-the detritus of the everyday.

  • av Vanessa Roveto
    281,-

    Vanessa Roveto's debut collection, bodys, is a work of stunning strangeness, force, and audacity, generated by - and degenerating toward - the unanswerable question at the heart of poetic speech: What does it mean to be "a person"?

  • av Aaron McCollough
    281,-

    A collection of richly strange sequence of poems in which forces of nature, mind, spirit, and language partake of each other in vibrant and shifting ways. Rank seeks to recover sources of imaginative meaning from the unsettled remnants of lyric tradition, seeking out possibilities for belief and sustenance in the echoes of lapsed poetic speech.

  • av Cole Swensen
    295,-

    Covering a variety of subjects - from the plague and the first ""danse macabre"" to the development of perspective and recipes for pigments - the poems in this collection are set in 15th-century France. They explore the end of the mediaeval world and its transition into the Renaissance.

  • av Robyn Schiff
    243,-

    Reckons with the array of foreboding objects displayed at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the traces of their ghosts one hundred years later.

  • av John Isles
    243,-

    It is nineteenth-century California, and the missions are still burning after the Americans establish the Bear Flag Republic; it is the twenty-first century, and the miners of '49 are relegated to a mural in an arcade. This title takes us on a journey where Native Americans are 'missing persons' outside a diorama of their ancestors.

  • av Tony Tost
    243,-

    Devising a formalism rather than concerning itself with discovering the what, this book is about discovering how to say what needs to be said.

  • av Rod Smith
    243,-

    Looks at the question of ownership, of the words with which we define ourselves and each other, and of whose and what claims are legitimate. This work is a lyric which is grounded in the New American tradition of poets such as John Ashbery, Allen Ginsberg, and Charles Olson.

  • av Michelle Robinson
    243,-

    Part detective novel, part cinematic saga, part street-smart narrative, the poems in The Life of a Hunter form a document of expedition that couples individual discovery with communal transformation.

  • av Shane Book
    266,-

    At once original, strange, funny, and unnerving, Shane Book's Congotronic takes the reader into unstable territory, where multiple layers of voice, diction, and music collide. Some of these poems have the sparse directness of a kind of bleak prayer; others mingle the earthbound rhythms of hip-hop with the will-to-transcendence of high Romanticism.

    243,-

    This poetry is about the people and events that pass through a life, leaving a void; about finding a presence in that absence, and waking up to the realities of the moment. It is concerned with discovery and confrontation, and uncovering and witnessing.

  • av Bin Ramke
    243,-

    Like the ancient medical text by Hippocrates that gives this collection of poetry its title, ""Airs, Waters, Places"" looks with intensity and purpose at the elemental world to understand the possibility of an expanded notion of health in an often disconnected and disconnecting social order.
