Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An inventive, poignant and witty collection that speaks to the intricacies of love, both domestic and wildWinner of the 2024 Cardinal Poetry Prize and Finalist for the 2025 New England Book Award in PoetryFinalist for a New England Book AwardFive-Paragraph Essay on the Body-Mind Problem is the inaugural winner of the Cardinal Poetry Prize, selected by renowned poet Robert Pinsky. In free verse and invented poetic forms, Rachel Trousdale explores how the interplay between the mind and body illuminates our most important relationships, whether with other humans, wild spaces, or works of art. Inhabited by crows, yetis, coral reefs, and aliens, these poems playfully examine the intensity and conflict of romantic love; the entropic joys of parenthood; illness and grief; and the ways our physical loves and intangible losses teach us responsibility to the world around us.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An evocative journey of self-discovery and reclamation in the wake of divorceUK edition of Chaotic Good was shortlisted for the Jerwood Prize for Best First Poetry CollectionThis fresh, dynamic debut poetry book from award-winning poet Isabelle Baafi explores the transformative journey of redefining one's identity following trauma and upheaval. This conversational collection simmers with energy and immediacy as it interrogates how much our identity is determined by the circumstances into which we are born. The book's five sections travel backwards and forwards in time: asking urgent questions of self-knowledge and change during a marital breakdown, revisiting the formation of a moral compass during childhood, navigating the pitfalls of powerlessness and conformity during adolescence, charting the rise and fall of a passionate marriage, and seeking revitalisation in the wake of divorce. Visceral scenes from childhood and adolescence are set against deeply resonant moments of love blossoming and love dying to explore desire, power, and self-perception in unexpected ways. This exquisite and moving collection marks the emergence of a distinctive poetic voice.[Sample Poem]The way you say penAfter Irene P. Mathieu's 'Soil'it sounds like pain, as inall I ever wanted was to live by my pain.If you want to raze a city, all you need is some paper and a good pain.You once said that a woman with a pain is like a gun who soon finds more targets than mercy.Every day I lost another pain, but you gave me another to take its place.A child starts out writing in pencil, but mastery is rewarded with a pain.Aged six, first trip without Dad, my legs the canvas: lightning scratched into me with my mother's pain.My shadow from the day I learned to skip with bloodied knees - she was my pain pal all this time.The pain is mightier than the sword, and twice as likely to punish its owner.What a luxury and a curse, to live and die by the torrent of my pain.Rainclouds surround the registry. Organza-veiled and blister-footed, I am yours with the flick of a pain.'Fill out in block capitals with black ink.' Some truths are only valid when the right pain tells them.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Creative visions of Arctic geography from Indigenous perspectivesGrounded in the spatiality of Indigenous existence, Circumpolar Connections: Creative Indigenous Geographies of the Arctic is an innovatively foundational book about experiences and conceptions of geography in the circumpolar world. The book centers Arctic writers and artists as creators of space and disseminators of geographical knowledge emerging from Indigenous epistemologies. It collects newly commissioned poems, short stories, and essays that are accompanied by responses in the form of visual art--including paintings, photographs, and mixed media artworks--as well as brief academic reflections. Containing multiple languages--from English and Russian to North Sámi, Kalaallisut, and Sakha--as well as translations, the book is grounded in dialogues and conversations between creative practitioners from across the circumpolar North. Among others, they include Alutiiq, Eyak, Gwich'in, Innu, Inupiaq, Inuvialuk, Lingit, and Yup'ik writers and visual artists, alongside Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars. Extending 'geo-' beyond earth and '-graphy' beyond writing, the creative geographies of Circumpolar Connections powerfully expand the Arctic into manifold spaces imagined by a multiplicity of Indigenous stories and aesthetic forms. In doing so, they offer circumpolar conversations that speak to Arctic communities while reaching out to global audiences.[Sample Text]English language assimilation as a bite of sashimiit is like I am eating my own tonguecut precisely, a flesh trianglecool red bloodlessand placed in my mouthI cannot speakit tastes like my own tonguesalt and fleshI am eating my own tonguethe weight of it.
