For the Love of God: The Bible as an Open Book
ISBN: 9780813545035 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Quoting King Solomon's famous prayer to God at the Temple in Jerusalem, "Behold, the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded," Alicia Suskin Ostriker posits a God who cannot be contained by dogma and doctrine. Troubled by the way the Bible has become identified in our culture with a monolithic authoritarianism, Ostriker focuses instead on the extraordinary variability of Biblical writing. For the Love of God is a provocative and inspiring re-interpretation of six essential Biblical texts: The Song of Songs, the Book of Ruth, Psalms,...

What is it like living today in the chaos of a city that is at once brutal and beautiful, heir to immigrant ancestors -who supposed their children's children would be rich and free?- What is it to live in the chaos of a world driven by -intolerable, unquenchable human desire?- How do we cope with all the wars? In the midst of the dark matter and dark energy of the universe, do we know what train we're on? In this cornucopia of a book, Ostriker finds herself immersed in phenomena ranging from a first snowfall in New York City to the Tibetan diaspora, asking questions that have no reply,...

How do feminists need that ur-text of patriarchy, the Bible?

Ultimately Ostriker suggests that feminist reinterpretations of...

The Imaginary Lover
ISBN: 9780822953852 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Winner of the 1987 William Carlos Williams Award presented by the Poetry Society of America
With "The Imaginary Lover," Alicia Suskin Ostriker takes her place among the most striking and original poets whose work is informed by feminist consciousness. Her characterization of the best poetry by women, in the "New York Times Book Review," aptly describes this book: intimate rather than remote, passionate rather than distant, defying divisions between emotion and intellect, private and public, life and art, writer and reader. To read her poems is to discover not only more of what it means... Winner of the 1987 William Carlos Williams Award presented by the Poetry Society of America

I tell my students that they must write what they are afraid to write;...

The Book of Seventy
ISBN: 9780822960515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Alicia Ostriker seizes the opportunity to take us where too few poets have been able to take us: into a domain of what our fabulists like to call the -golden years.- as we live longer, we become inevitably curious about the actual texture of these late years, curious about what happens in the soul. Out of that curiosity is a new kind of poetry born, an elderstile that has passion and irony, wisdom, folly, clarity and tenderness. In her keen engagement with the self and the world, Ostriker offers us a voice and a perspective that explore the territory of seventy and beyond.

Alicia Suskin Ostriker's voice has long been acknowledged as a major force in American poetry. In No Heaven, her eleventh collection, she takes a hint from John Lennon's "Imagine" to wrestle with the world as it is: "no hell below us, / above us only sky." It is a world of cities, including New York, London, Jerusalem, and Berlin, where the poet can celebrate pickup basketball, peace marches, and the energy of graffiti. It is also a world of families, generations coming and going, of love, love affairs, and friendship. Then it is a world full of art and music, of Rembrandt and...
