Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Whether she is personifying the colors of her crayons, consoling a friend by clinging to the 'doorframe of our shared past,' or describing 'the secret joy etched in penciled plans,' Liz Chang's second collection of poems reverberates with the mystery found in everyday life. She examines 'ordinary objects [that] stood for whole lives,' and treats them with reverence, sympathy, and humor. Picking through totems of memory-small keys, a bird's nest, grasscloth wallpaper, sepia hair dye, a man's foot, a lace tablecloth, origami paper-she seeks clues to their identities. While some work examines the life behind things, other poems create fictional persona that showcase her narrative gifts. What Ordinary Objects is also her debut as a translator, including poems by French poet Claude de Burine, that seamlessly dialogue with Chang's own poetry. Liz Chang is 2012 Montgomery County Poet Laureate and Assistant Professor of English at Delaware County Community College. She received her MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Kennedy, Meg (illustrator). Neuware - This is a book of poems featuring crows. I like crows because they can symbolize so many things. Ted Hughes wrote about crows in 1970; I have amassed corvine poems over many years and now-fifty years later-publish my book. Crows still abide. Some poems-Crow's Voice, Crow Highway, Crow In The Garden-are still elusively floating around and I can't seem to locate them. However, enough poems roost in this little book to stick in your craw. Even their cousin, the raven, sneaks in.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In her first collection of poetry, Liz Chang examines pieces of her life as though they were artifacts left behind by the tide: smoothed by time, partially revealed, and a bit salty. She grapples with relationships, reconsiders childhood memories, and confronts fears that one might not suffice, might not make a difference. While admitting to doubt and disappointment, her language is never bitter; she doesn't whine or thrash but observes, gently questioning her own provenance, occasionally soothing the self she's exploring and recognizing her need to connect. With directness ('I want to feel radiant/.to push my capacity/to open to light') and charm ('I wish I were a bird stand/with my fluttering desires neatly caged/and securely bolted inside'), Chang's language and youth embrace the reader in this impressive debut.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Findings gathers poems written over the lifetime of visual artist, writer, daughter, mother, and member of the baby boomer generation. Intense observation, wonder in the ordinary, and celebration of both personal and seasonal change characterize many of the poems. Lessons learned along the way from nature, birds, dogs, and the daily activities of making art reveal a quiet acceptance and gratefulness for being in the moment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Where is the singing /when twisted thoughts /flood the soul. ' Helen Mirkil asks in these lyrical poems that celebrate her faith in God and fascination with the sweetness of quotidian life. She questions the mystery, serves as witness, observes details as a mother and a lover, and she tells stories. The poems are paired with ten evocative drawings, that enrich rather than illustrate her vision. Sower on the Cliffs collects the words and images of a striving soul, a poet pilgrim, a remarkable artist.
