The fifth full-length collection from award-winning poet Andrea Hollander
Budy's anthology compiles work from some of the United States' most talented female poets, exploring a wide variety of themes and tones ranging from the darkly passionate to the humorous.
A new anthology from the editor of the bestselling Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy. Explorations on a journey through the darkest and brightest moments of our lives, the poems gathered here are explorations of loss, of thanksgiving, of transformation. Some show a path forward and others simply acknowledge and empathize with where we are, but all are celebrations of poetry’s ability to express what seemed otherwise inexpressible, to touch deep inside our hearts—and also pull ourselves out of our selves and into greater connection with the world around us. Includes poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Czeslaw Milosz, Seamus Heaney, Billy Collins, Joy Harjo, Danusha Lameris, Ada Limon, Kevin Young, Arthur Sze, Ellen Bass, Li Young-Lee, Natasha Tretheway, and many more. The editor also includes an essay on appreciative attention and links to guided meditations for select poems, offering us a chance to have an even deeper experience of reflection.
In the forty poems of her first full-length book, House Without a Dreamer, winner of the 1993 Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize, Andrea Hollander explores the complicated emotions that accompany both common and uncommon occurrences within ordinary lives, especially as the years pass. How does one decide what dress a mother should be buried in? When and how do feelings change? What do you do when your therapist falls asleep while you're revealing your deepest hurts?
Poems celebrating the joys of marriage: falling in love, proposing, the wedding ceremony, intimacy, milestones, children, anniversaries, the mystery of another's differences, and staying in love.
Each person lives but a single life--yet this is not wholly true. While our lives progress as a result of the choices we make--this career, that husband, this town, that house--we are left imagining a life we might have lived. If we are defined by our choices, in what ways are we limited by them? What of the spiritual lives we lead, the inner lives that others cannot truly know? Which life is truest? A woman recalls her special bond with her father and compares it with her ties to other men; a man copes with his unloved life and finds a way to secretly inherit it; after making love for the first time, a young woman wishes to go back in time, erase what she's done. In readable, finely wrought, resonant, and memorable poems about the nature of longing and disappointment, desire and betrayal, pleasure and sorrow, The Other Life explores the dualities in life that every person experiences.
Ekphrasis, the description of pictorial art in words, is the subject of this bibliography. More specifically, some 2500 poems on paintings are catalogued, by type of publication in which they appear and by poet. Also included are 2000 entries on the secondary literature of ekphrasis, including works on sculpture, music, photography, film, and mixed media.
