Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Poetry. African & African American Studies. Soon after the 2016 presidential election, Sixteen Rivers Press, a shared-work collective of Northern California poets, conducted a nationally advertised call for submissions, seeking unpublished poems that would respond to the cultural, moral, and political rifts that now divide our country: poems of resistance and resilience, witness and vision, that embody what it means to be a citizen in a time when our democracy is threatened. In a matter of weeks, the press received over two thousand poems. The work came from across the country, from red states and blue states, high schools and nursing homes, big cities and small towns. At the same time, the poet-members of the press were asked to nominate poems. These poems could be old or new, published or not, the poets living or dead--anything from anywhere that spoke to this moment in the voice of poetry. In this way, we gathered another three hundred poems, ranging from Virgil and Dante to Claudia Rankine and Mai Der Vang, from Milton to Merwin, from Bai Juyi to last Thursday's just-posted Poem-a-Day. This anthology is a blend of poems from these two sources, each of its nine sections a kind of town-hall meeting where citizen-poets gather to raise their voices, now raucous, now muted, now lyric, now plain: voices responding with dissent and consoling with praise, perspective, vision, and hope. Around 1950, Pablo Neruda wrote the poem, Am rica, I do not call your name without hope to a Latin America in crisis. In this anthology, Dean Rader's poem, in the spirit of Neruda but in the time of Trump, speaks, under the same title, to our America: this is for you and your fear, your tar; / for the white heat in your skin and / for your blue bones that one day may sing. The title of our book echoes this cry: America, listen to what your poets are saying. Are we the corrosive, racist, authoritarian regime that the 2016 election brought to power, or are we a democracy, that fragile, imperfect form of government that must be constantly guarded in the struggle for equality, justice and freedom? In resistance and resilience, and not without hope, America, we call your name.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Rumors, Secrets & Lies: Poems about Pregnancy, Abortion & Choice by Kristine Snodgrass Trade Paperback, 2022 Rumors, Secrets, & Lies is a collection of narrative poems, prose poems, flash fiction stories about abortions, unplanned pregnancies, adoptions, and joyous births. 116 writers, including Naomi Shihab Nye, Ellen Bass, and Alicia Ostriker, tell their stories how women, and men, navigated this always-charged and emotional landscape before and during Roe v. Wade. This heart-felt collection was inspired by the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. The book was sent to the printer on Aug. 31, just two months later. Submissions arrived from all over the U.S., but also from as far away as South Korea and Israel. The book is divided into five sections: Rumors Secrets & Lies; Choice/No Choice; Loss; Changes, Birth & Joy; and, Frontlines. Excerpts follow: "In the late 1960s, girls just disappeared from high schools and were never seen again. One cocky boy would nod knowingly and say, Another victim, gone to the forests!" Naomi Shihab Nye, from "Rumors" "Monet, Cezanne, Pissarro, Vincent, waiting room walls / are all the same, framed Impressions looking at you. / Sarah is waiting, watching a waiting room clock forget, / holding, tightly, my hand with both of hers." Earl S. Braggs, from "The Weight of Not Answering" "My blood contains the risk / of something missing, a malformation / of the head / or worse." Rebekah Denison Hewitt, from "Karotype" "I would have been dead / in twenty-four hours, / had the doctor not given me / the cruel diagnosis / Not a baby, but a lethal weapon / ready to explode inside." Janet Yolen, from "It Grew" ". still / she gave this child every intricate bone of both feet, / the hollow vertebrae, tiny liver, / lungs that fill with air for the first time / and begin, without a lesson, / bringing this world in and releasing it. Ellen Bass, from "The Human Line" "what is the womb, / but the notion that / you could replicate yourself?" Fariha Tayyab, from "Blood and Glass" "this baby won't come || I make peace with the birds || my body a branch left || now all sky || with the river I make peace || succumb to the eddy || I want this baby || from the moment I knew" Karla Van Vliet, from "Delivery" "and here she is / unbreathing on your chest, her skin so sheer / you can see her little blue heart slow its thump" Kari Teicher, from "Undone" "Try the word abortion in a poem / it sits, a boulder in the center of the page / the other words tiptoe around it / too nervous for conversation" Nicolette Reim, from "Pen in Hand". …
