Seasonal Works with Letters on Fire
ISBN: 9780819575227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the Griffin Poetry Trust's International Poetry Prize (2014)
Runner-up for the Northern California Book Reviewers Northern California Book Award (2014) Fire-- its physical, symbolic, political, and spiritual forms--is the fourth and final subject in Brenda Hillman's masterful series on the elements. Her previous volumes--Cascadia, Pieces of Air in the Epic, Practical Water--have addressed earth, air, and water. Here, Hillman evokes fire as metaphor and as event to chart subtle changes of seasons during financial breakdown, environmental crisis, and street...

Pieces of Air in the Epic
ISBN: 9780819567888 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the The Poetry Society of America's William Carlos Williams Award (2006) In her newest poems, Brenda Hillman continues her exploration of nature and culture in ways that demonstrate her original place in experimental lyric traditions. Pieces of Air in the Epic is the second book of a tetrology that takes the elements--earth, air, water, fire--as its subject. As Hillman's previous collection, Cascadia, explores "earth," the present collection considers "air"--the many meanings of the word and the life-giving medium we breathe--to test a reality that is both political and...

Fortress
ISBN: 9780819511683 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the Commonwealth Club Book Award, Silver Medal for Poetry (1990) In the title poem "Fortress," the medieval walled castle is the stronghold in which the family dwells. There are stories here of people in the "fortresses" of the self, the city, or the natural world. All these poems have in common a lyrical approach to solitude ("the only protection / against death/ was to love solitude") and an ironical vision for which love of beauty and the longing for the world are the cure. Hillman combines the imagistic with narrative; in her poems lyricism wars with irony; the...

Practical Water
ISBN: 9780819571663 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Poetry (2009)
Finalist for the Northern California Book Award for Poetry (2009) Practical Water is, like Brenda Hillman's previous two books, Cascadia and Pieces of Air in the Epic, both an elemental meditation and an ecopoetics; this time her subject is water: Taoist water, baptismal water, water from the muses' fountains, the practical waters of hydrology from which we draw our being--and the stilled water in a glass in a Senate chamber. Not since Allen Ginsberg tried to levitate the Pentagon has American poetry seen the... Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Poetry (2009)

Bright Existence
ISBN: 9780819512079 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The poems in Brenda Hillman's new collection, a companion volume to her recent Death Tratates, offer a dynamic vision of a universe founded on the tensions between light and dark, existence and non-existence, male and female, spirit and matter. Informed in part by Gnostic concepts of the separate soul in search of its divine origins ("spirit held by matter"). This dualistic vision is cast in contemporary terms and seeks resolution of these tensions through acceptance.

Cascadia
ISBN: 9780819564924 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Named for the ancient landform that preceded present-day California, Brenda Hillman's Cascadia creates from geological turbulence a fluid poetics of place. The book is Hillman's sixth collection and her most wide-ranging. The problem the book poses is nothing less than a phenomenology of transformation. In her previous work, Hillman's investigations of alchemy and of contemporary life have created their own distinct mythologies, and here she turns to the first of the four basic elements, earth, to demonstrate a visionary science with a combination of lightness, wit and force. Embodied in...

Death Tractates
ISBN: 9780819512024 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 59 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the depths of sorrow following the sudden death of her closest female mentor, Brenda Hillman asks anguished questions in this book of poems about separation, spiritual transcendence, and the difference between life and death. Both personal and philosophical, her work can be read as a spirit-guide for those mourning the loss of a loved one and as a series of fundamental ponderings on the inevitability of death and separation. At first refusing to let go, desperate to feel the presence of her friend, the poet seeks solace in a belief in the spirit world. But life, not death, becomes the...

Loose Sugar
ISBN: 9780819522436 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 127 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Loose Sugar is an alchemical manuscript disguised as a collection of poems, or vice versa. Either way, the primal materials of which this book is comprised -- love, sex, adolescence, space-time, depression, post-colonialism, and sugar -- are movingly and mysteriously transmuted: not into gold, but into a poet's philosopher's stone, in which language marries life. Structurally virtuosic, elaborate without being ornate, Loose Sugar is spun into series within series: each of the five sections has a dual heading (such as "space / time" or "time / work") in which the terms are neither in...

Poems from Above the Hill: Selected Poems of Ashur Etwebi
ISBN: 9781602351608 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. ASHUR ETWEBI is one of Libya's leading writers. A poet, novelist, and translator, he has published six books of poetry, two novels, and three books of translation. "In POEMS FROM ABOVE THE HILL, ASHUR ETWEBI compactly renders experience in a hauntingly classical way. His work is rooted in the landscapes of his country, and in inventing forms in his literary traditions that will capture his engagement with his place and culture. His poetry is intimate but grand, innovative but traditional, influenced by Modernist poetry . . . yet populist and accessible. His phrasing and syntax are often very...

Particulars of Place
ISBN: 9781632430052 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The last living member of the original circle of Anarcho-pacifist poets at the birth of the San Francisco Renaissance, Richard O. Moore presents his second book, Particulars of Place. The title poem is a meditation on life in the twilight of American Empire, posing the question of how to live in an age of endless warfare. Throughout, Moore's commitment to social justice mingles with his interest in Wittgenstein's linguistic philosophy, resulting in a poetic amalgam unique to Moore himself. Reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the art of poetry, Particulars of Place confirms Moore's...
