Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In this rich and remarkably inclusive collection, Matt Schumacher renders forgotten towns un-forgotten. With vivid imagery and music, he re-members, he re-embodies them onto pages of a poetic atlas. Here, a grateful reader also discovers tales about saloons and cemeteries, Great Plains buffalo and a pot-bellied pig, wild huckleberries and the bits of wedding cake fed to a deer. In one of the book's four sections, Schumacher offers epistolary persona poems that give a panoply of candid and often wrenching histories, laments, confessions, and revelations. The chronological and geographical scope of this collection is impressive. Ghost Town Odes holds an ambitious and admirable trove of poems.' --Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita and author of The Voluptuary and Understory 'When I started reading Matt Schumacher's poems, I had no idea I'd be getting a lesson in Pacific Northwest history. But what a lesson! From the farcical gold mine at Bourne, Oregon, in the 1800s, to the native villages clustered along the Columbia riverbank before enormous dams built during the last century flooded Celilo Falls, Matt writes with great sensitivity and knowledge of his subjects. Vivid images fuel the imagination with a longing for what once was. Matt knows his history and his poems reflect his research. The collection goes superbly on: There are 'The Deep Creek Yuan Gui Speak their Grievance,' 'Ballad of a Basque Sheepherder,' and many more, all poignant and delightful, not just for those who appreciate well-written poetry, but also for those who want to learn more about the region's colorful--and too often tragic--history.' --R. Gregory Nokes, author of Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon and Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From a nine-by-eleven cell in a maximum-security prison, Byron Case, a one-time child prodigy wrongfully convicted of murder at age twenty-three, began blogging. Composed on an electronic typewriter, his dispatches take many forms-richly textured in-the-moment vignettes, poems, gleefully recollected anecdotes, satirical commentaries on the penal system, and more. But in whatever shape Case writes, his steady voice comes through, clearly and distinctively. Evocative even at its most reserved, poetic even at its most prosaic, undefeated even at its most melancholy, The Pariah's Syntax: Notes from an Innocent Man collects some of Case's best personal writings from prison. It is a lush, variegated assortment: forty pieces of prose and poetry (fifteen never before published), each a shining example of this young writer's talent, resolve, and above all, humanity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the coniferous mountains of Eastern Oregon to the lush tropical mountains of Puerto Rico, Amelia Díaz Ettinger writes in a voice that witnesses both beauty and rupture-climate and political turmoil, cultural dislocation, and intimate reckonings.The collection moves through the layers of nature and human experience, where deer step into silence, wildfire smoke settles over valleys, voices clash at a writer's workshop, and the ghosts of homeland call from across oceans. Díaz Ettinger's lyric eye embraces the liminal-the space 'between layers, between blood and skin, between the legacies of memory'-making vivid the connections and fractures that shape who we are.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - shanghai.shanghai.shanghai is a novel about the culture writer and closet novelist Ge and his encounters with such people as a Bogotá pickpocket, a defiant Uighur woman with borrowed baby, a German naval attaché, American evangelicals working the Beijing Olympics, and China's first woman conductor of western classical music. Its main themes uncover the thin fabric that separates state-censorship and self-censorship, and collaboration and corroboration, in China's war of infinite resistance. It avoids conventional narrative techniques; instead it focuses on episodic and interconnected moments revolving in a Shanghai between its foreign-occupied 1939, state-occupied 1989, and the self-occupied present in a Möbius loop, sometimes in the same sentence, and uses backstory sidebars and multiple English and Chinese typefaces to maintain a fluid and cohesive story.…
