Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - David Yezzi's Schnauzer is a bold play-in-verse about our feral need for love untethered. Wild. Rabid. Reminiscent of early Albee, across leaps of time in vivid scenes suffused with a haunting lyricism and humor, Yezzi conjures characters struggling to wake up to the animal appetites of life. Dan O'Brien, Author of Body of an America.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Veil On, Veil Off is a brand new book of poems from the highly acclaimed and deeply underground poet John Marcus Powell. The narrative is rife with languid detour, the subject often scandalous, and the language inflected with the sort of eccentrically personal rigor that can never be counterfeited. For those not averse to the occasional dive into murky waters, the realms below are cool and clear with the welcome sting of sobriety after an equally welcome debauch. To all potential readers, and they should be legion, I say: 'Drink up, boys and girls! This is how it is done!'.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | John Marcus Powell and I share a generation and a geography. I opened this book and turned the pages greedily, drawn into a story told in an irresistible voice that leads, like the pied piper, into a way of life that has almost disappeared. The poem begins at a moment frozen in history but the protagonist steps from it into our changed society with the abiding truth of boyhood held out like a perfectly-wrapped gift.- Ann Drysdale, author of Feeling UnusualReminiscent of Brian Friel's Faith Healer, John Marcus Powell's Black Uncle is an intimate history told in voices-in this case a Welsh boy named Timmy and his Mam. Their alternating monologues tell a rich and nuanced tale of a family separated by the Second World War and of the black American soldier who deeply touches both of their lives. Powell orchestrates notes of personal tragedy, parochial prejudice, and sexual awakening in delightful, fluent verse, each line composed in the mouth of a brilliant actor-poet. When, years ago, I first heard Powell perform his poems in a burlesque house in the East Village, I remember the buzz that went around the room: here was the real deal! Black Uncle is his strongest work to date, a tour de force of voice, character, and feeling. I can't recommend it highly enough. - David Yezzi, author of More Things in Heaven: New and Selected PoemsJohn Marcus Powell brings a lost world marvelously back to life again in Black Uncle, a world of fears, injuries, and losses caused by poverty, war, and nonconformity. Yet, in the midst of great deprivations in a tiny Welsh village, Powell celebrates the growth of "exuberant weeds,/ extravagant brussel sprouts." Fans of Martina Evans's verse novels will love John Marcus Powell's Black Uncle.- Jee Leong Koh, author of Inspector Inspector.…
