Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Our Echo of Sudden Mercy searches for the tenuous places where grief and joy entwine. At turns meditative, irreverent, and tender, the poems trace these threads through multiple forms of loss-personal and familial, cultural and planetary, quiet and violent-by encountering and moving through the everyday.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ann Hudson's Glow investigates the mystery of radium: the vision of Marie Curie who discovered it through labor and sheer will; its rise to fame as a health craze; the critically important work it did for the medical field; and its widespread use in luminescent paint which made watches glow in the dark. But Glow is also an investigation into what makes us tick, our curiosities, ambition, and our sense of purposeful work. These poems explore how one luminous substance-the hunt for it, the search for its secrets and powers-can be understood as a life force of its own, even as it has the power to whittle that life force to nothing. These poems show radium as destructive as it is illuminating.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lucas Jacob's Sympathetic Beasts tunes in to life, to its potential as well as its hazards and warnings, to physical and emotional perils often recognized only too late. At turns intimate, introspective, and darkly humorous, these poems question everyday caution signs even as they lean into vulnerability, grappling with relationships, impermanence, and the many ways the world can end. In this elastic collection, every danger is taken seriously, while no poem takes itself too seriously. There is a smile, or at least a knowing wink, for every foible of the all-too-human speakers in these quietly confident poems.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cinnamon Fire is a book of praise songs and elegies-a celebration of the dark wood of midlife of which Dante wrote, 'How hard it is to say what it was like.' These poems move through landscapes of illness, love, and its aftermath, finding the luminous edge where pain becomes perception. Whether tracing the stubborn pulse of desire, the desert's slow transformations, or the ache of family and loss, Sheila Black's poems look unflinchingly at what wounds and what endures. This is a book that believes in the power of attention-in staying awake to the world's terrible beauty.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Blending poetic memoir and revelation, the matchstick litanies opens on family violence and women's work-both often silenced. These richly detailed poems, however, reclaim the voice of a speaker who excavates family stories woven with hard truths, spanning generations and who comes to see clearly their own 'inheritance by what was visible: translucent scorpions braving the hot sidewalks, / winged ants following one another without end.' jo reyes-boitel's poems are bold and brave; they refuse to look away from what is burning and show us that sometimes fire can create a path for self-fulfillment.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bladed Edge Between navigates intersections of memory, sound, and survival. This work unfolds as a sonic archive of longing, belonging, and becoming. Anchored in the sacredness of place, diasporic grief, and mystical remembrance, the poems move through ecological resonance, spiritual inheritance, and intergenerational healing. This expansive, multilingual collection uses the structure of Indian classical music as a formal and emotional scaffolding-ascending (Arohi), descending (Avroh), breaking open (Jhala), collapsing into silence (Khali). Each section becomes a note, a blade, a wound, and a prayer. Ruby Singh gifts us a speculative map through which the past sings into the future, always with us, all ways a part of us.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Glaphira (Firy) Oskolkoff buried the confusion of her biracial heritage - Russian, Yupik, possibly white. Firy didn't fit in a segregated Sitka, Alaska.Childhood losses and pain caused her to seek a safe, uneventful life. Her desire for predictable, peaceful times was doomed. Still, she tried to live by Mama's words, 'Love Bozhe and do what's right.'The black and white Movietonews reports shown at the local theater made the war in Europe and even the South Pacific seem far away, unreal. Then the enemy invaded Alaska. It was thought the Japanese Navy would cross the Gulf of Alaska and attack Sitka. To Firy, the more immediate danger was the thousands of American servicemen pouring into Sitka. She must protect her sisters and herself.Amid her fears and anxieties about the war, Firy had other concerns. Ever since Papa Bill had married Mama, he and his cronies from the Sitka Café decided they had the right to interfere in her life. They thought they were doing the right thing. Crazy old coots. She could take care of herself, thank you very much.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Elsewhere: An Elegy meditates on the complexities of loss, on how private and everlasting the weight of grief is, how impossible it can feel to find stillness when memory and music continue to pull one back into heartache. Moving between short fragmented "answers" to the same lingering question, deconstructed haibun dedicated to ghosts and cowards, and dream sequences that ask what it means to lose one's father while one is first learning how to become a father, the speaker in Elsewhere: An Elegy cannot but help see himself as his own father, and his infant son as his own young self still held by innocence and wholeness. The speaker, with a slowly gathering sense of compassion admits, "I've still not divined / how to unhusk this steadfast / grief from my poems." Ultimately, he comes to recognize that the most healing way to grieve is to give, is to translate loss into generosity, pain into poetry.…
