Swimming Through Fire
Poems by Seth Michelson. A Tom Lombardo Poetry Selection.
Eyes Like Broken Windows
Seth Michelson's debut full-length collection of poetry, Eyes Like Broken Windows, comprises poems of struggle. But this is also a collection of great power and language. There is shattered beauty everywhere. It is a collection in which tumors become roses, in which traffic accident victims gasp saintly visages like some 14th Century Giotto, in which a woman cures the infirm with her hands like a modern day Christ. It is a collection where death begets life, where the parasitic fig tree eventually strangles its host "in parched darkness," but in the end "will have itself become a host / to an orchestra of new creatures: / green parrots, toucans, fruit bats and silver monkeys." Michelson's family ties to Argentina, his time lived there, and his award-winning translations of its poetry have deeply informed the crown of sonnets around which this collection revolves.
House in a Hurricane
Seth Michelson's House in a Hurricane weaves, out of despair, loneliness, the ordinary and sometimes the ugly, things of beauty, joy and worth. I ran the gamut of emotions as I read this book - in one sitting, by the way. It's a written work of art, and isn't that what art does? Makes us feel? To paraphrase a line from one of Seth's poems, I fell a million ways in love with this book. --Lucy Spinetti.
Wings
Poetry. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Religion & Spirituality. In WINGS, Israeli poet Amir Or's thirteenth book of poetry, transcendence is not a flight from the concrete intimacy of history and experience, but an opening within it, an interrogation of its baffling sweep, its beauty and its violence, that reveals, in the heart of unity, a profound multiplicity, the community of love, and the endless labor of birth. In these poems, we hear the sky speak with a music that seems to be wrought of hard roads, and vice versa: we see heaven and earth as shimmering mirages of each other, and the pilgrim's journey beyond time, towards liberation, as the secret heart of both. This bilingual edition follows WINGS with an encore, the brief Basho-like sequence "Travelog," both translated by poet Seth Michelson. It also includes explanatory notes and an insightful critical afterword by the translator, and an interview with Amir Or by Nevena Milojevi'.
The Ghetto
Poetry. Latinx Studies. Jewish Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Seth Michelson. "The poems in Tamara Kamenszain's book THE GHETTO breathe and live boldly and beautifully in Seth Michelson's spot-on translations. Written in Spanish, with the ghosts of Hebrew and Yiddish never far in the background, these poems cast a discerning eye toward the meaning of words such as 'ghetto,' 'exile,' and 'ancestors' in a world of borders, edges, and death. Yet, as in the poetry of Paul Celan, one of the guiding spirits of this book, what is beautiful is never fully abandoned. 'Today in the crowns of the trees all my roots flower,' she writes in the poem 'Tree of Life,' offering vision and salvation from within the landscape of a Jewish cemetery in Buenos Aires. Thanks to Seth Michelson, this book is now a marvelous and significant contribution to English language as well as Argentinean verse."--Gail Wronsky
The Sun of Always
"These are poems that remember, that conjure, that define and defy, that locate. "To be a Mapuche poet is to be a researcher, historian, anthropologist, semiotician, linguist, officiant," Ancalao writes. The poems in this collection are a reckoning and interrogation of the narrative of the benevolent (Western/-minded) naturalist; they are a waking and awakening, of the forgetful and the forgotten. The violence, they remind us, is in the silence, but in our mother tongues we find ourselves. In the silenced tongues of indigenous peoples lives an affinity to the land and to those stewards severed from their lands across borders of time and geography. In their voicing, then, is resistance, resilience, strength--and joy. That the poems appear in triplicate, each tongue conjured on the page, is a promise: the forgotten will not be silent anymore."--Abigail Chabitnoy, Author of How to Dress a Fish Poetry. Latinx Studies. Native American Studies. Women's Studies.
