Adorable Airport
Poetry. "Reading ADORABLE AIRPORT in an unadorable and overadorned airport on my way out of low-desert Arizona in high summer, I'm reminded of how useful seasons are in tracking the progress of lives and loves and all the vees these vessels contain...I hear echoes of Dickinson, Williams, and Stein, but Inger Christensen and Walter Abish also haunt this joint, as do the Talking Heads, which is to say if you like good things, you'll like this good thing."--Ander Monson
The Way They Say Yes Here
Poetry. "Mallarme's vision of a poesie pure came from his work as a translator. It was the slippage of arbitrary and always transient words, their unstable motion, which freed them from the deadening trap of easy or obvious association to leave them energized and "pure." A time spent in Africa provided this kind of estrangement for Jacqueline Lyons, changing and charging her relation to her own language by giving her another. Now, in her first collection of poems, Lyons reveals a pure accuracy of gaze in an essential, necessary poetry. Her compassion and understanding are exemplary - and deeply moving. These poems are completely unsentimental, constantly testing language angainst the physical facts of the actual, miraculous and heart-breaking world." Lyons was born in Wisconsin, received her MFA from Colorado State University, and is completing a PhD at the University of Utah. These poems grow out of a three year stint in the Peace Corps, where she served in Lesotho, South Africa.
Fluorescence
In Jennifer K. Dick's first book, Fluorescence, very real places--Paris, Massachusetts, Colorado, Iowa, Morocco--mix into the imagined, into Breughelian villages where there's "a persimmon in the corner knitting." These places are inhabited by varied but always very real bodies, stretching outward from their own edges and encountering, or engendering, a certain luminescence in the process. What happens when we exceed ourselves? When fragments of dream are lifted to the surface and through to something beyond? Clues, keys, indications--all that once seemed certain slips off into code. These poems use language to crack it.
The Way They Say Yes Here
Poetry. "A time spent in Africa provided this kind of estrangement for Jacqueline Lyons, changing and charging her relation to her own language by giving her another. Reading Lyons' work we see what it means to live fully, to love generously, to travel gracefully and to be at home everywhere and nowhere"--Laura Mullen.
Algebraic Number Theory
This undergraduate textbook provides an approachable and thorough introduction to the topic of algebraic number theory, taking the reader from unique factorisation in the integers through to the modern-day number field sieve. The first few chapters consider the importance of arithmetic in fields larger than the rational numbers. Whilst some results generalise well, the unique factorisation of the integers in these more general number fields often fail. Algebraic number theory aims to overcome this problem. Most examples are taken from quadratic fields, for which calculations are easy to perform. The middle section considers more general theory and results for number fields, and the book concludes with some topics which are more likely to be suitable for advanced students, namely, the analytic class number formula and the number field sieve. This is the first time that the number field sieve has been considered in a textbook at this level.
Torch Song Tango Choir
These fine poems are connected byÑand evokeÑthe music of lost homelands. Paegle, the daughter of immigrants from Argentina and Latvia, takes us through the tumult of displacement and migration with a strong sense for the folk songs and tango music of her youth. Against this musical backdrop, she invests the bandone—n, an accordion-like instrument brought to Argentina in the late nineteenth century, with a special significance. Her poetic account of the instrument yields this striking tribute, which testifies to the passion of the collection: Òwhen mission music spilled, / five octaves went new-world wild.Ó The poems in the first section, torch songs, hover near a heartbreaking lyricism...
NEA Literature Fellowships
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Literature Fellowship Program has helped new writers find their voices and established authors continue their work. Some of the early grants went to writers whose work is now a permanent part of America¿s literary legacy, such as Gwendolyn Brooks, Isaac Bashevis Singer, John Berryman, Denise Levertov, Robert Penn Warren, and Eudora Welty. The NEA Fellowships have also recognized many writers before their talents were acknowledged by a wider audience, such as Alice Walker, Tobias Wolff, and Maxine Hong Kingston. This publication, issued in the 40th year of NEA¿s existence, celebrates the history of the NEA Literature Fellowship Program. Photos.
