Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Midnight Café, by Susana Cuartas-Ordoñez, is a powerful gathering of lyrical poems in which the poet is both a participant and an observer - at the center and on the periphery - of a world shaped by love and by its sorrows and joys. These are epiphanic poems, chronicles that explore lost loves, and especially an ongoing love for the unnamed woman who broke the poet's heart. They peer through veils of the present and jolt us with memories of a painful and wistful past. These are raw and honest and intense poems, perceptions that reach out from a heart that wants to be wanted, to be welcomed and healed. Written in the cadences of slam and performance poetry, all splendidly managed, the poems of Midnight Café introduce an exciting and original new voice in contemporary American poetry.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When She Became You / Songs to Suzanne, by award-winning poet Michael Jennings, chronicles a love story, the light and the shadows, over most of a lifetime, from the passionate, surreal, goddess-like portraits of the opening 'Where She Dances' section to the devastating dark dirges of the 'Lost Hallways' sequence: a record of love as lived and a testament to the fact that both love and poetry exist at the intersection of the sacred and the profane. These are intimate and private lyrical exultations that affirm what is most valuable and most powerful in our shared expressions of what it means to be most fully human and deeply alive. They are the work of a magisterial poet at the pinnacle of his craft.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Dark Mothers, by award-winning poet Michael Jennings, is the fourth in a series of extraordinary collections of poetry -- including Summoning the Outlaws, Where She Dances, and The Moon's Children -- that constitute what Jennings describes as the last of a quartet of books that provide a rounding out, a sense of closure, of his prolific and brilliant poetic career. As Susan Deer Cloud affirms, the book is 'a tour de force of dream fire, poems unfolding as slow bluesy jazz riffs of memory and the kaleidoscopic music of time past, present, and future existing all at once, a poetry of bravery that dares to visit the mystery places, calling forth in an Ur-language poems often nearly unbearably poignant yet laced with flashes of humor and variations of light from subtle to intense.' Michael Jennings is the author of 12 previous collections of poetry, among them Crossings: A Record of Travel, winner of the 2016 Central New York Book Award for Poetry, and River Time, winner of the 2014 Wells College Chapbook Contest. He is also the 2017 winner of the Miller Audio Award for Poetry.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Black Ice by Kerry Shawn Keys takes a worthy place within the deep reservoir of his published books. The book's title is a metaphor for a mirror in the title poem in a book probing the black holes of identity, the claustrophobia of self, and managing somehow to transcend both in a work both lucid and dense, cosmic and intimate, and any number of other opposing forces you can slip through the black holes of exquisitely-made poems. The poems in this stunning collection are varied and complicated, full of mystery and surprise, as an aging poet comes to terms with death and eternity with the skills and grace of a master. -- Michael Jennings.
