paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1919, Moods is Mercedes de Acosta's first of three books of poetry that appeared in quick succession in the early 1920s. Consciously written as prose vignettes, Moods confounded its publisher and compositor, as well as critics, who were utterly unfamiliar with unlineated poetry. As an adolescent, Mercedes's sister Rita took her to Paris where she received an informal cultural education from French artists, and undoubtedly gained exposure to French writers as well and their proclivity to petits poèmes en prose. An early precursor stateside was Stuart Merrill's volume of translations of French prose poems, Pastels in Prose, which was published in 1890. Moods was definitely an oddity in its time, but its structure and language were solidly traditional as opposed to the contemporaneous Kora in Hell: Improvisations by William Carlos Williams. While Acosta's significance mainly lies in LGBTQ+ history, this slim volume marks a waysign in the development of the American prose poem, creating more open considerations of the history of the genre and poetry itself.This edition of Moods contains a short introduction by Charles Hanson Towne and a critical afterword by Kathryn Good-Schiff.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John Allman's prose poems in Algorithms go forth in a kind of wanderjahr to discover or be discovered. These prose poems possess a different kind of urgency, a vitality that almost defies boundaries, a freedom to span discourses and leap across vocabularies. Allman is free to follow his mindful wanderings, landing us in Croatia in 1991, navigating with Columbus in 1492, witnessing a drug bust, watching his wife's root canal, and examining the frozen remains of princess in Siberia. At the same time, the notion of an algorithm, the idea that, given a certain origin, a thing in process must become x or y, provides a way of understanding that each poem encompasses a fate, destined to become only itself-in essence, that boundaries are inherent in being. Ultimately, this points to Allman's unresolved conundrum: the desire to be something beyond one's self, but one can never escape one's own being, and its limits-for what then would I and Not-I be. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An experiment in ambiance, lineation and energy exchange, Bohr's is a book-length poem that alternates prose and verse sections. The prose rewrites the opening salvos of Spinoza's Ethics through a conversation between two people walking around a parking lot and talking about dogs, an actual dog in someone's yard and people in a theater watching what turns out to be a film about two people walking around a parking lot and talking about dogs. The verse takes as a formal and procedural model the exchange of electrons to create energy as documented by the writings of Niels Bohr, attempting to replicate this exchange through the redeployment and exchange of the utterance within the poem's own sonic, rather than atomic, structure.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In The Rainy Season Diaries, Jennifer A. Reimer speaks from the far-flung spaces/places of diaspora and migration, not only the geographical and physical, but also the emotional and literary. Playing loosely with the diary form, each page can be read like an entry in a journal that doesn't so much narrate or map location as it does explore the potential of an lyric (but acidic) voice that finds itself washing up on multiple shores of metaphor. The voice is fretted with narrative traces, which minutely examine the manner in which the stories we tell and the titles we give each other are themselves forms of treachery. In probing the intimate dislocations between interiors and exteriors, genres, relationships, and the familiar and the strange, The Rainy Season Diaries aims to reveal what ideas like 'story,' 'poet' or 'history' cover over, leave out or cannot account for. The poems stress the way careful domestic surfaces conceal anxieties. Reactions are-like the crumbling tales of the poems-desperately imbricated acts of preservation and interpretation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Maurice de Guérin's 'The Centaur' and 'The Bacchante' represent two of the earliest examples of the prose poem. Both pieces are heavily centered in classical Greek mythology, and are deeply entrenched in the natural world. Each piece has its narrator relate in luscious, sustained and highly charged prose their life stories. And both narratives are inextricably wedded to the mountains, hills, valleys and sea. Written in the mid-1830s by de Guérin, these pieces serve as a contrast against Louis Bertrand's quick narrative sketches that many readers most often associate with the prose poem. De Guérin's pieces present an alternative approach wherein the suppleness and cadences of poetic potential of prose are realized in another, higher sense.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Atmospherics is a prose poetry textbook that brings sensual life to the reference work. Encompassing topics as varied as the flow of time in museums, the play of momentum through a sports event, and the expression of food in dreams, it studies how anything ever comes to feel like anything in particular at all. The hypothesis of this science is poetries. And so it is through poetries, some terse and esoteric, others diagrammatically elaborate, that the text explores the endlessly variable topic of atmosphere. Concept and specificity, voice and structure, shape and movement, multiplicity and coalescence, absorption and expression: many of the questions of poetry are also the questions of atmosphere. Atmospherics represents the confluence of poetry and philosophy, and of learning and teaching - a writing that meditates between concepts and particularity, pushing an expressive phenomenology beyond the resolution of experience into a very quietly strange world where there is wonder at the mood of a city street, the cry of a trumpet, the turn of an event.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In A Book of Common Rituals, Brian Clements presents a fantastic and mundane religion in which all the rituals are built around the absurdity of human behavior, all the beliefs are founded on what is regrettable and all the dogma exists for the purpose of celebrating the tragicomedy of human folly. Using sequences of prose poems with accompanying texts and images, Clements invites us to enter a temple that welcomes everyone, especially heathens and blasphemers. In the world created by A Book of Common Rituals, readers become willing participants in behaviors that may seem eerily similar to the rituals that inhabit their own individual imaginations.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As written artifacts, these prose poems purport to be reflections from the universe's speaking mirror, lines of emotion marching as if in a trance from various points of origin, like meteor showers emanating from different parts of the heavens intruding on day's sky. They peel back history and they peel back memory until only husks remain. Much like affixing plaster to old wounds as new wounds continually spring open, these prose poems welcome each other into their worlds of pain and welcome the reader to discover caskets of word puzzles they leave behind.Not meant as a 'personal and wholly insignificant grouse against life. . . a piece of rhythmical grumbling,' but rather as pieces of private jokes sprung with the gravest intent on the universe in an earnest criticism of what's no more than haggard reality.These prose poems were written sequentially, mostly in pairs, which, under one consideration, could serve as a journal of sorts starting late 2022 and ending early 2023.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Diary: Poems reflects the world, with personal experience written in the margins and the story of our moment filling the space of the prose poems. From war to global warming to homelessness to the difficulties experiencing safety and connection under such conditions, these situations lead to moments of attention to the state of the world, written with 'you' or 'we' speakers to emphasize the collective nature of our experience, and highlight the universal, broken into moments of observation or imagined scenes. Sometimes the personal breaksthrough, always with the traditional 'I,' whose experience is minimized by the weight of the larger situation.Since the poems pay great attention to the moment - to presence - they are laden with visual and imagistic content: from a mother and child sitting in the rubble of Gaza to a couple in Ukraine disappearing into the woods to escape harm to an immigrant family crossing our border and sharing imaginary nourishment, we encounter portraits of our current state of affairs. Also appearing are works of commentary and many poems examining the thin veil between life and death: can it be crossed by imaginative effort The world as cauldron is burning with stories and reasons to speak. Diary: Poems exists as a document of what is seen and said. As such, it enlarges on the traditional sense of the genre, traditionally self-absorbed and narrow, and offers a contemporary version of what it means to live and write at the boundary of peril to the whole, how one small voice can partake in the mood of our time and account for what it observes, as all significant narrative opens rather than limits possibility. Diary: Poems is an awakening of language, inviting the reader to take responsibility for a world shaped by our difficult and challenging times. Chernoff 's poems keep our minds open and our eyes on what is truly necessary.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sound/Hammer resides at the interface of poetry and prose. The first half of the book, 'Sound,' yields poems that question, and explore, the division between poetry and prose. Some poems embark on narrative flights; others are insistent in letting music trump plot. 'Hammer' lets prose do the work. Some stories unfold simple, and just happen. Other stories demand attention to their music, with a few stories evolving into a condition where the music is the story. Sound/Hammer tries to bring halves into a whole, to follow diverse yet unified thread, to knit rough seams together invisibly, to be targeted by exploding into multi-directional arrays, to opt for rubbing out the straight lines and shifting focus into the mind's eye.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Your life consists of passing time, and time passes around you. Walls chip, and you paint them. Weeds flourish, and you pull them. Throughout In Life Eugène Savitzkaya sifts lyrically through our daily comings and goings, through decay and renovation. Pruning trees, scaling fish, washing windows, ironing and eating are among the myriad tasks surveyed in this book. Even urinating and defecating have their just place in the melee of the day-to-day. In Life is a meditation on the quotidian, the circadian rhythms of life that sustain us and dissolve us. With piercing acuity Savitzkaya pays tribute to those actions that consume the lion's share of our waking hours.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written between October 2020 and October 2021, this long poem/journal/improvisation records in one long rush a year's worth of observations and events. Torra's eyes and ears pull in everything about life that comes his way - Covid, a presidential election, teaching, fatherhood, family, food, writing, art, music, the urban environment, dreams, and a growing interest in the Tao. In keeping open to everything, he attunes the reader to the art of living according to the Tao. Time Being II reflects Torra's compression of a year into a rhythmic distillate. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Repetitions and Misadventures of Immortals represent a collaboration between two of the premier figureheads of the Surrealist movement. In 1921, the French poet Paul Éluard became acquainted with Max Ernst's artwork. Éluard wrote a collection of thirty-three poems and then selected a number of Ernst's collages to accompany his poems, which became Repetitions. For Misadventures of Immortals, Ernst initially created twenty collages and then Éluard began drafting prose poems to both accompany and comment on the collages. On one level, the prose poems were constructed via ekphrasis but the composition process was more synergistic, with artist and poet responding to each other's compositions and modifying them into an organic whole in an iterative revision process. Both works are considered to be premier examples of proto-Surrealism. Both collections were first published separately in 1922.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In A Swift Passage, Barbara Henning celebrates the ongoing life force and transformation as we seek freedom, clarity, confusion and confinement, and everything in between. The pace of life moves us so quickly and with such an urgency to get somewhere in particular and then we circle around and return to where we started, but it's never exactly the same. Henning's stories and poems blur the lines between fiction and autobiography, prose and poetry. The narrator, and her characters, try to tell the truth and then examine how that truth then tells them. Ultimately, narrator and characters question whether what's told is the truth. There are stories and poems about moments of sunlight and violence, biking in the desert, war, child abuse, the BP oil disaster, water pollution, New York City streets, un-health care in the USA, Tompkins Square Park, writers, driving, Halliburton, government contracts, yoga, divorce, flowers, moving shadows, smuggling, picking raspberries in the wilderness. These works are maximalist in that they intersect with Henning's daily life in New York City and on the road driving across country. Our conscious minds hold memory and experience, the private and the public and endless variations. These poems and stories intersect with these variations.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As a poet of the imagination, Bob Heman's 'information' pieces create microcosms in which all things are possible, where language creates everything and anything, and into which reality sometimes rears its head. His 'information' series reflects prose poems written over a span of almost thirty years and this collection, Washing the Wings of the Angels, draws upon seventy-nine written in the past decade that figure most securely, as well as most enduringly, in Heman's consciousness. Written with no premeditation at all, these prose poems just happen, often taking on a life of their own, hopefully to take wing and surprise the reader with a startling and engaging juxtaposition of language and image.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The themes of Survival of the Fittest Pronoun lay strewn among the paragraphs and pieces of the book, waiting in lair to ambush the reader and bring a context, and a certain resonating sense, to its title. Years and years went into the unmaking and then unmistakeable making of this book. And in the reader's hands, and mind, it has a good chance to still become itself. The pieces touch on human consciousness, the natural world, inclusion, self, the other, mortality. The poems themselves become wholes of human consciousness. They confess to themslves that the existence or truth of one thing does not deny the existence or truth of another. That one poem does not deny another poem. In both beginning and end, the book proposes that we are little people in a big universe. And in order to survive we need to learn and relearn every day how to be good to each other. Ultimately, Survival of the Fittest Pronoun leaves the reader with the overriding question of what really happened on Saturday in Gloucester and why there's no mention of it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The judge's house contains mysteries unknown to Lawrence and Nancy Huggins, who have moved in next door. Reassigned to a small-town branch of his Chicago bank, manager Lawrence and pediatrician Nancy find themselves the sole African American professional couple in Rockvale, Illinois. They are also the only townsfolk to have befriended their reclusive next-door neighbor, old Will Turley. After Will died accidentally, he left his grand brick house, with all its contents, and which has been for decades his refuge from the torments of his youth, to them.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unfinished World is a novel of cosmic gestation. It focuses on the interface between the personal and the universal, the idea that we are the universe creating itself, suggesting that our individual awareness is part of a larger, universal consciousness, that our thoughts and experiences contribute to the ongoing process of the universe understanding itself, a deepsense of interconnectedness that carries you everywhere like a feeling. It is also keenly alert to the ongoing shifts in the human paradigm and the volatility and precariousness of ourcurrent dilemma. Much of the background for these reflections occurs in a trip to Kauai in post-pandemic 2023, a place of uncanny and beauty and serenity. It includes such universalsas Mahler's 'Adagietto,' Willie Dixon's 'Wang Dang Doodle,' the Dirac equation, and a toddler kicking the back of one's seat on a long flight over the Pacific while trying to read MadLove by surrealist poet André Breton.…
