Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYA new collection of poems from one of America's most essential, celebrated, and enduring poets, Carl Phillips's Then the WarI'm a song, changing. I'm a light rain falling through a vast darkness toward a different darkness.Carl Phillips has aptly described his work as an 'ongoing quest'; Then the War is the next step in that meaningful process of self-discovery for both the poet and his reader. The new poems, written in a time of rising racial conflict in the United States, with its attendant violence and uncertainty, find Phillips entering deeper into the landscape he has made his own: a forest of intimacy, queerness, and moral inquiry, where the farther we go, the more difficult it is to remember why or where we started. Then the War includes a generous selection of Phillips's work from the previous thirteen years, as well as his recent lyric prose memoir, 'Among the Trees,' and his chapbook, Star Map with Action Figures.Ultimately, Phillips refuses pessimism, arguing for tenderness and human connection as profound forces for revolution and conjuring a spell against indifference and the easy escapes of nostalgia. Then the War is luminous testimony to the power of self-reckoning and to Carl Phillips as an ever-changing, necessary voice in contemporary poetry.

But the dreams are private, not real.One night, she meets another woman at a bar, and an escape hatch swings open in the floor of her life.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stunning, intimate collection by the late great Polish poet Adam Zagajewski. . . I think I sought wisdom(without resignation) in poemsand also a certain calm madness.I found, much later, a moment's joyand melancholy's dark contentment.In True Life, the Polish writer Adam Zagajewski, one of the world's most admired and beloved poets, turns his gaze to the past with piercing clarity and a tone of wry, lyrical melancholy. He captures the rhythms of a city street on the page and the steady beat of the passage of time against it ('Roads cannot be destroyed // Even if peonies cover them / smelling like eternity') and writes of the endless struggle between stasis and change, between movement and stillness ('We knew / it would be the same / as always // It would all go back to normal'). Mary Oliver called Zagajewski 'the most pertinent, impressive, meaningful poet of our time,' and Philip Boehm wrote in The New York Times Book Review that his poems 'pull us from whatever routine threatens to dull our senses, from whatever might lull us into mere existence.' True Life, first published in Polish in 2019 and translated with genius by Clare Cavanagh, reveals the astonishing, immortal depths of Zagajewski's insight and artistry.
