Marya
Marya was a survivor. From the brutal lessons of an abandoned childhood to the darker, more complicated games of the adult world, she rose up to perilous heights of fame. This is her story.

Sugar Work
"Sugar Work chronicles the complexities of womanhood, race, and gender that arose from growing up around sex work in Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1990s. Poems investigate beauty and whiteness, the aftermath of sexual trauma on the female body, divorce, desire, and art itself. Narrative poems reflect on female sexuality and self-acceptance after a complex childhood, informing the speaker's ever-changing relationship with love"--

The Diaries of Marya Zaturenska, 1938-1944
At age thirty-six, acclaimed poet Marya Zaturenska's work reached its full potential even as she battled emotional and physical illness. Recently rediscovered diaries, published here for the first time, reflect that crucial period in the poet's life. Born in Kiev, Russia, Marya Zaturenska moved to New York City at the age of eight. To help support her family, she dropped out of public high school and held various jobs in a factory, a publishing house, and bookstore. By taking night courses she managed to complete high school. Meanwhile, she wrote poetry, some of which appeared in national magazines. In time, Zaturenska would publish eight books of poetry and a biography of Christina Rossetti...
New Selected Poems of Marya Zaturenska
Praised for her lyricism and mastery of meter and rhyme, Marya Zaturenska's poetry lit up American literature in the 1900s. But with the giddy 1920s, Zaturenska's traditional lyric grace and penchant for artifice rendered her passé. By her mid-thirties, Zaturenska had succumbed to emotional and physical illness. At the same time her work blossomed and critics acclaimed her for elevating lyric conventions to new plateaus. In 1937, she won a Pulitzer Prize for her magical collection, Cold Morning Sky. She was only thirty-six years old at the time. Critics pointed out that Zaturenska had assimilated lyric conventions and made them original and new. "What is so fine about these poems is that the control implicit in them does not lead to sterility or to false emotion," wrote the New York Times Book Review. "She is a mystic, but how neatly she refines the word." This new edition consists of over one hundred poems and twenty translations drawn from eight previous books. Early poetry from her teenage years reveals Zaturenska's budding talent, and an introduction by fellow poet and close friend Robert Phillips places this gifted writer firmly in both the historic and lyric tradition.
Marya
"Marya" er en intens, virkelighedsnær skildring af en moderne kvinde, der konstant søger en dybere forståelse af sig selv for at opnå det ultimative mål, selvrealisering. Det er måske den mest personlige og mest fascinerende af Joyce Carol Oates‘ romaner. Vi følger Marya Knauer på forskellige trin i hendes udvikling, fra den tidligste barndom præget af vold og fattigdom til hun midt i trediverne som berømt kritiker og intellektuel kommentator tilsyneladende allerede har nået tinderne. Hele tiden betages man af hendes person, og hendes livsforløb synes lige så uforudsigeligt og – i tilbageblik – lige så uundgåeligt som livet selv. Joyce Carol Oates (f.1938) er en amerikan...

Wasted
Why would a talented young woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death?

A vivid, honest, and emotionally wrenching memoir, Wasted is the story of one woman's travels to reality's darker side -- and her decision to find her way back on her own terms.
