Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Joe Enzweiler's A Winter on Earth confirms what readers of his four previous collections already know: Enzweiler is the real thing, an authentic maker, not a manufacturer, of poems. Between first snow and first rain, poem and prose poem, nature and human nature, the reader will find, to parap…hrase a line from 'Woodsplitting,' two halves gathered in this single whole. This is a book for everyone's essential poetry shelf. -Jerah Chadwick, Alaska State Writer Laureate, 2004-2006.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lunchboxes, by Dan Veach, preserves in the amber of poetry a classic 1950s Southern California childhood, complete with Superman capes, coonskin caps, cap pistols, and lunchboxes which, like this book, contain both baloney and Wonder bread. Deep background comes from the backwoods of Tennesse…e, where Grandpa makes a Nobel Prize discovery, and the kids get a snootfull of Aunt Ruth's snuff. Going farther back still, 'A Date with Clio,' the muse of history, breezes through a million years of human misadventures. Baloney is sandwiched in the 'Scherzo' section--the movement Beethoven reserved for musical jokes. And finally, for those who missed out on Dan's previous book, this lunchbox contains a cool thermos of Elephant Water.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On July 27, 2008, a man pulled a sawed-off shotgun from a guitar case and fired randomly into a crowded sanctuary during a youth-led worship service at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the Brian Griffin was director of Religious Education programmi…ng. The worship service was intended to be a production of the play Annie, Jr. produced by children of the church, under the tutelage of our Director of Music. Instead, just as a child spoke the opening words of the play, a man who hates liberalism opened fire. Two people were fatally wounded and seven others were also shot before church members wrestled the man to the ground, about five seconds after he opened fire. He got off three shots. After he was subdued, there were 73 unfired shotgun shells scattered across the floor. About one-hundred children and teens, many of them in his Religious Education program, witnessed this bloody scene. Some of the children were splattered with blood. One of the dead was the author's close friend who died in Sunday light after shielding others with his body. Many of the poems attempt to replicate some sense of the immediate horror and dissociation of trauma that that the author experienced as he watched things unfold in real time. Those constitute the first section, 'Lens.' Others, in the 'Mirror' section, are reflections on the event and what it might mean, filtered through his anxiety and traumatic memories. Still others are an exploration of ideas of healing and renewal ('Image') to the extent that he has found such things to be possible. The author's intent throughout is to reflect honestly on his experience. He wants to approximate, for the reader, how mass murder disconnects and in other ways reconnects its survivors to and from the quotidian. He shows the reader what happened, and to do so in a way that simply telling the story cannot-to guide the reader through a facsimile of trauma. These are not 'therapy' poems. These are attempts to share a glimpse into raw, hard horror, and the long struggle that ensues.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. 'Taking joy, isn't easy,' Brown writes, 'as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets,… or playgrounds littered with broken glass.' These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in 'Dream Letter Lullaby' Brown asks us to 'be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping.' His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- 'A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks.' Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that 'Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars.'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A pandemic passion project by poet, Karen J. Head, with Sandra Danneil (Editor), Randi Gunzenhäuser (Lead German Translator), and Anne-Françoise Le Lostec (French Translator), What We Missed: New and Selected Poems in English, German, and French was supposed to be a summer project in which st…udents at TU-Dortmund would translate three to five poems as part of a seminar on poetry translation. Instead, it grew into a nearly two-year project, during which a French translator also joined. Head selected poems from five of her previous collections as well as new poems from over twenty years for translation by the students. The topics of the poems are wide-ranging, from the poet's memories, people and places of her life. Collectively, everyone in the world missed many things because of the pandemic. However, the project group discovered some bright moments during which they found ways to reach across virtual and cultural landscapes to do work they might otherwise never have had time to complete.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The KKK weren't never about race. It were always about power and greed.' So begins 86-year-old Hadley Thompson, who insists a rural historian research why two people were murdered. At first, Hubbell has little interest in the matter. Not only did the murders take place in 1924, there never w…as a question of who committed them. What difference could a motive make now It is Thompson's insistence that an active Ku Klux Klan chapter fueled the feud between two blue-eyed, Baptist families that helps change Hubbell's mind. Soon Thompson and Hubbell are an unlikely duo, tramping through field grass, combing through copies of dusty newspapers, and driving down gravel roads to discover what made friends and neighbors turn against each other in post World War I America. More than just a story of a feud, Blood River Rising whispers a warning for today's increasingly diverse society.
