Reading the Difficulties
Definitions of what constitutes innovative poetry are innumerable and are offered from every quarter. Some critics and poets argue that innovative poetry concerns free association (John Ashbery), others that experimental poetry is a "re-staging" of language (Bruce Andrews) or a syntactic and cognitive break with the past (Ron Silliman and Lyn Hejinian). The tenets of new poetry abound. But what of the new reading that such poetry demands? The essays in Reading the Difficulties offer case studies in and strategies for reading innovative poetry. They allow readers to interact with verse that deliberately removes many of the comfortable cues to comprehension-poetry that is frequently non-narrative, non-representational, and indeterminate in subject, theme, or message.

ANNE WITH AN E & ME
ANNE WITH AN E AND ME by Wesley St. Jo ISBN 978-1-387-47587-2 Published by Paloma Press Release date: January 1, 2018 ANNE WITH AN E & ME is a nod to what is true and pure and tween, ""I wish to begin / the year / with clarityÑ / my favorite word / next to / epiphany..."" It's about friendships, hopes, goals, boys, hair, big words and birthday stars. It is a tribute to Anne Shirley because If Anne were real and alive today, she'd be a kindred spirit. ÒWhen I was growing up, Anne of Green Gables was my heroine and role model. Years later, Wesley St. JoÕs collection of poetry describes the joyful ÒspiritÓ of Anne of the 21st century. She gives us an ear to the cadence of what is important to her Anne. Her poems capture the optimism, wit, passion, and intelligence that I loved so much about the Anne who I read when I was a young girl.Ó ÑMary Kasimor, author of silk string arias and The Landfill Dancers
Evocare: A Collection of Tanka
Tanka, which translates to “short song,” is the lyrical, five-line poem that has historically served as the basic form of Japanese poetry. Despite its shifts in style over the centuries, tanka has remained a poem that captures the nuances of human experience by exploring the simultaneous simplicity and complexity found in nature, relationships, and situations. Evocare offers tankas of love and lust, solitude and togetherness, the familiar and the unfamiliar, hope and heartbreak, strength and weakness, among other themes. The authors leave room for readers to draw their own connections to the poems. Upon reading Evocare, I admired its sense of fluidity within structure, and depth in meani...
Essays in the Economic History of the Atlantic World
Written by one of the leading authorities on trade and finance in the early modern Atlantic world, these fourteen essays, revised and integrated for this volume, share as their common theme the development of the Atlantic economy, especially British America and the Caribbean. Topics treated range from early attempts in medieval England to measure the carrying capacity of ships, through the advent in Renaissance Italy and England of business newspapers that reported on the traffic of ships, cargoes and market prices, to the state of the economy of France over the two hundred years before the French Revolution and of the British West Indies between 1760 and 1790. Included is the story of Thomas Irving who challenged and thwarted the likes of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
MANHATTAN: An Archaeology
MANHATTAN: An Archaeology presents Eileen R. Tabios' latest innovative approach to poetry-making. In this book, she uses a diverse set of "artifacts" to excavate a version of New York City's historical birthplace. Artifacts include the unexpected and the ineffable to create a city only she can imagine-while they include a pearl necklace, piece of pineapple skin, yoga mat, black sateen, and bullet, the "objects" for perusal also range over moonlight, "withheld forgiveness," and duende. The result, too, is unexpected and ineffable: Poetry that delights and intrigues. Some receptive readers will wake from the book missing something they hadn't realized they missed, longing for something they hadn't realized they desired.

The Serpent and the Fire
Jerome Rothenberg’s final anthology—an experiment in omnipoetics with Javier Taboada—reaches into the deepest origins of the Americas, north and south, to redefine America and its poetries The Serpent and the Fire breaks out of deeply entrenched models that limit “American” literature to work written in English within the present boundaries of the United States. Editors Jerome Rothenberg and Javier Taboada gather vital pieces from all parts of the Western Hemisphere and the breadth of European and Indigenous languages within: a unique range of cultures and languages going back several millennia, an experiment in what the editors call an American “omnipoetics.” The Serpent and the Fire is divided into four chronological sections—from early pre-Columbian times to the immediately contemporary—and five thematic sections that move freely across languages and shifting geographical boundaries to underscore the complexities, conflicts, contradictions, and continuities of the poetry of the Americas. The book also boasts contextualizing commentaries to connect the poets and poems in dialogue across time and space.
