Song for Night
ISBN: 9781933354316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Not since Jerzy Kosinski's "The Painted Bird" or Agota Kristof's Notebook Trilogy has there been such a harrowing novel about what it's like to be a young person in a war. That Chris Abani is able to find humanity, mercy, and even, yes, forgiveness, amid such devastation is something of a miracle."--Rebecca Brown, author of "The End of Youth"
"The moment you enter these pages, you step into a beautiful and terrifying dream. You are in the hands of a master, a literary shaman. Abani casts his spell so completely--so devastatingly--you emerge cleansed, redeemed, and utterly haunted."--Brad...

"The masterful wedding of the narrative and the lyric in these poems (whose subject is the maturation of a sensibility, the coming-of-age of a young Englishwoman the power of her ties to family, husband and her 'adopted' country, Nigeria as well as the illumination of her own soul and that of the narrator's) fills the reader with both sorrow and wonder.

The University of Hip-Hop: Poems
ISBN: 9780810135093 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The University of Hip-Hop is a love letter to the city of Chicago, or, more specifically, to Chicago at a particular moment in the poet's life. It is a meditation on movement and migration that asks what it means to leave home, how to take home with you, and how to build a new home elsewhere. These poems invoke nostalgia tempered with the knowledge that one cannot return to the past. They employ tonal and structural variations that account for said nostalgia without risking naivete, taking all the influence of that time (hope, youth, love, music, art, and engagement) as a formal...

Nowhere to Arrive: Poems
ISBN: 9780810135086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Nowhere to Arrive takes as its subjects the whiplash of travel, the shuttling between disparate places and climes, and an unremitting sense of dislocation. These poems court the tension between the familiar and the foreign, between the self as distinct and the self as illusory. They look plainly at the startling strangeness of varied landscapes and mindscapes, and interrogate a state of unrootedness one thrown into relief by the speaker's years abroad in Southeast Asia.
At the chapbook's center are two long poems, titled "Phnom Penh Diptych: Wet Season" and "Phnom Penh Diptych:... Nowhere to Arrive takes as its subjects the whiplash of travel, the shuttling between disparate places and climes, and an unremitting sense of ...
