Sky Booths in the Breath Somewhere
Poetry. "I remember a ship // Dammit, I meant all along / I should take that other child // presently care is a hat // a father looking out the window // time's just a driveway, / the parrot said, staring into / the thudding fog // and the future is a salesman / with his name tag flying in a void"--"Fit under here."
Animalities
Animalities reaches into the past, breathes in the present, and extends to the future in a lyric exploration of life
The Listening Chamber
Winner of the seventh annual Arkansas Poetry Award, William Aberg presents in The Listening Chamber a gallery of poetic forms, from short free-verse lyrics and crafted prose poems to original forms skillfully matched with their subjects. He writes comfortably of cats or derringers, the idylls of childhood, or of patients in mental hospitals. Throughout his poetry there runs a proletarian strain of dissatisfaction, an unrest coupled with dexterous wit and a remarkable sense of wonder. Convincingly, he populates these poems with farm workers, romantics, fugitives, lovers, beeches, elms, and constellations. With influences as wide ranging as William Stafford, Miklos Radnoti, and René Magritte, Aberg has fashioned a first collection in which every poem is a unique and haunting experience.
The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics
Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: “Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead’s lyrics” (Publishers Weekly). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable bod...
The Mercy Seat
A collection of poems by twentieth-century American poet Norman Dubie.
Arrow Pointing North
David Dodd Lee’s speaker responds to his wife’s debilitating illness and the threat it poses to their life together by immersing himself in Nature’s dark order: “Late afternoons, in the fall, while the children / Chase each other with their paper horses, / ...the bones of digested songbirds / Thud down / Onto soft green beds, pine needles and moss.” His poems combat physical limitations with a heightening of the senses, and the opening of a symbolic realm: “That landscape of spectral forms / We glide through, silently, unable to speak...”
Landfall
In this ring of connected short stories, grounded in the fictional town of Conrad's Fork, Kentucky, everyone is staging some sort of escape. A woman harboring the dark truth about her youngest daughter's birth, a new teacher suddenly under suspicion after a student's disappearance, a young girl witnessing her older sister's sexual awakening: all the people in this Appalachian community suffer a paralyzed desire in response to the stagnancy and exposure they experience in their small town. Landfall: A Ring of Stories weaves together the voices of two generations of mountain families in which secrets are carefully guarded--even from closest kin. One by one, those who leave confront the pull of the land and the people they've left behind. Perhaps Conrad's Fork will save them, or, perhaps, in the wake of urban encroachment and shifting family systems, they will save it.
We Are Giants
'A total page-turner...very moving and touching.' JACQUELINE WILSON A brilliantly funny and wonderfully warm-hearted story about love, family, and what it means to be different. Sydney thinks her mum Amy is the best mum in the world - even if she is a bit different. When everyone else kept growing, Amy got to four feet tall and then stopped right there. The perfect height, in Sydney's opinion: big enough to reach the ice cream at the supermarket, small enough to be special. Sydney's dad died when she was only five, but her memories of him, her mum's love and the company of her brave big sister Jade means she never feels alone . . . But when the family are forced to move house, things get tricky. Sydney and Jade must make new friends, deal with the bullies at their new school and generally figure out the business of growing up in a strange new town. And Sydney doesn't want to grow up - not if it means getting bigger than her mum...
Traveling with the Ghosts
In her latest collection of English-language poems, trilingual Romanian-American poet Stella Vinitchi Radulescu continues to explore the capabilities and limits of language itself as the nexus where thought and physicality meet. Gathering fragments of idea and image from a vast constellation of influences, Radulescu's nimble, ever-surprising poems weave a tapestry that embodies what it feels like to be both intensely alive and knowingly transient. Publishers Weeklycalls these meditative, metaphysical poems that are rewardingly dense with surprising turns and images.
Hematology
"Kristin LaFollette's Hematology is a lyrical, breathtaking, enrapturing book of poems that explore family, the body, and the heartbreaking loss of a close friend, a person often present in LaFollette's poems. If you've experienced LaFollette's work before, this book is an expansion of her considerable poetic powers. If you've not, you're in for an absorbing read that will stay with you, that will have you returning to this beautiful book." --from publisher's website.
