Poetic Memory
How do poems remember? What kinds of memory do poems register that factual, chronological accounts of the past are oblivious to? What is the self created by such practices of memory? To answer these questions, Uta Gosmann introduces a general theory of "poetic memory," a manner of thinking that eschews simple-minded notions of linearity and accuracy in order to uncover the human subject's intricate relationship to a past that it cannot fully know. Gosmann explores poetic memory in the work of Sylvia Plath, Susan Howe, Ellen Hinsey, and Louise Glück, four American poets writing in a wide range of styles and discussed here for the first time together. Drawing on psychoanalysis, memory studies, and thinkers from Nietzsche and Benjamin to Halbwachs and Kristeva, Gosmann uses these demanding poets to articulate an alternative, non-empirical model of the self in poetry.
Update on the Descent
Ellen Hinsey's new collection, Update on the Descent is a powerful meditation on violence, war and human division, drawing on personal and family experiences-including the murder of her grandmother-as well as research at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Dynamically and innovatively written in lyrical and anti-lyrical forms, including prose and aphorism. Update on the Descent is a masterwork, an exploration of the extremes of the human condition, tackling issues of civil strife and tyranny, reconciliation and the renewal of the spirit.
The Junction
"Lithuania's Tomas Venclova is one of Europe's greatest living poets. His work speaks with a moral depth exceptional in contemporary poetry. Venclova's poetry addresses the desolate landscape of the aftermath of totalitarianism, as well as the ethical constants that allow for hope and perseverance. The Junction brings together entirely new translations of his most recent work as well as a selection of poems from his 1997 volume Winter Dialogue."--BOOK JACKET.

The Universe Behind Barbed Wire
"This is an English translation of a memoir by Myroslav Marynovich, a Ukrainian dissident who was imprisoned-and later exiled-during the Brezhnev years because of his membership in the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Defense Group (UHG), which sought to make public the human rights conditions that existed in Soviet-controlled Ukraine. Born in Halychyna (a European-oriented western region of Ukraine, also known as Galicia) just after World War II, and educated in Soviet schools, the author describes in his memoir the influence of his Galician family in developing his position of resistance to totalitarian regimes. The narrative depicts life in Soviet-occupied Kyiv during the epoch of the Hels...
