Paperback. Zustand: Good. Literary Nonfiction. Poetics. Writing Reference. WINGBEATS: EXERCISES AND PRACTICE IN POETRY is an exciting collection of exercises by fifty-eight wonderfully diverse teaching poets both in (Oliver de la Paz, Ravi Shankar, Patricia Smith) and out (Ellen Bass, Robert McDowell, Naomi Shihab Nye) of academia. In seven chapters, ranging from Springboards to Imagination to Chancing the Accidental to Complicating the Poem, each exercise includes not only clear step-by-step instructions, but numerous poems that exemplify the successful completion of the exercise, some by the authors of the exercises, some by their students. WINGBEATS' exercises incorporate numerous approaches: working in pairs and/or groups, incorporating research and/or the Internet, writing outdoors, and others, all easily found in the book's unique Alternate Table of Contents. Of course, traditional poetic techniques covering metaphor, persona, forms, and revision are also included. WINGBEATS, which poet Cole Swensen calls indispensable, belongs in every poet's library.Contributors: Rosa Alcal , Wendy Barker, Ellen Bass, Tara Betts, Catherine Bowman, Susan Briante, Sharon Bridgforth, Nathan Brown, Jenny Browne, Andrea Hollander Budy, Lisa D.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this stunning debut story collection, everyone's got the blues but nobody is willing to sing it. Evelyn Smith, Candace Lambert, and Dorene Wahrmund chafe against rigid small-town expectations. Others in hardscrabble Nopalito find themselves fenced in--an aging gay liquor store owner estranged among his neighbors, a mother and son bound by mutual resentment, two neighboring farm boys attracted to each other. Their stories are driven by desperation, rarely spoken, that troubles the community's inhabitants as it nudges them toward connection, toward moments of hope. Meischen draws these characters with a tenderness that belies the hardness of their lives.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The third collection from John A. Robertson Award and Pushcart Prizewinning poet David Meischen, looking at the joys, the struggles, and the contradictions of aging.In this gorgeous assembly of poems, award-winning poet David Meischen candidly examines how spirit defies both age and time, even when it cannot defeat either. Meischen's poems investigate the ways sexual desire changes as we age, the grief of losing those close to us, and the oddness that comes with being young in spirit while trapped in a body no longer young. Rooted firmly in the Southwestern desert, these poems also travel to Russia and Germany, carrying a note of urgency in their exploration of a life well lived. Unbuckled is a collection full of vibrancy, hope, and gratitude.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - David Meischen conjures the hackberries and mesquite, the cotton harvests and 'rainless earth' of his rural Texas homeplace with meticulous reserve, clarity, and crisp music. A work of abiding love and questing memory, this new volume provides the stirring pleasures of a family album while nimbly skirting sentimentality and reflexive nostalgia in favor of well-earned insight, jubilant celebration (mornings aglow like 'carnival glass'), and able compassion. The highest compliment that I can pay Meischen is that his German-American family chronicle brings to mind James Agee's indelible and legendary 'Knoxville: Summer of 1915.' Caliche Road Poems is a vibrant contribution to the literature of Texas.'.…
