The House on Boulevard St.: New and Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780807132159 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Long-lined and often laugh-aloud funny, Kirby's poems are ample steamer trunks into which the poet seems to be able to put just about anything-the heated restlessness of youth, the mixed blessings of self-imposed exile, the settled pleasures of home. As the poet Philip Levine says, "the world that Kirby takes into his imagination and the one that arises from it merge to become a creation like no other, something like the world we inhabit but funnier and more full of wonder and terror. He has evolved a poetic vision that seems able to include anything, and when he lets it sweep him across the...

Get Up, Please: Poems
ISBN: 9780807162897 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich. Whether remembering girls' singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.

Okay, let me just say it: he is a wonderful poet." -- Steve Kowit, San Diego Union-Tribune "Kirby's voice and matter (teaching, literature, traveling, rock 'n' roll, everyday bozohood) are utterly personal and, despite all the laughter, ultimately moving." -- Ray Olson, Booklist " Kirby] is a poet who peels away the layers of our skin to show us who we are: our weaknesses, our strengths, and our hilarious obsessions." -- Micah Zevin, New Pages "The world that Kirby takes into his...

Ultra-Talk: Johnny Cash, the Mafia, Shakespeare, Drum Music, St. Teresa of Avila, and 17 Other Colossal Topics of Conversation
ISBN: 9780820329093 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In "Ultra-Talk," David Kirby poses a simple question: What makes a cultural phenomenon truly great? Exploring a wide variety of "king-sized cultural monuments," Kirby argues that one qualification for greatness is that a phenomenon be embraced by both the elite and the general public. Further, he argues, it must be embraced repeatedly over time. Kirby turns his critical eye to subjects that have been studied and written about, sought after avidly, discussed passionately, and even resisted vigorously around the world. Auto racing, Dante, folk music, food, Leonardo da Vinci, films, poetry,... In "Ultra-Talk," David Kirby poses a simple question: What makes a cultural phenomenon truly great?

Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy
ISBN: 9780312326456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the 1990s reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987 to a shocking 1 in 166 today. This trend coincided with the addition of several new shots to the nation's already crowded vaccination schedule, grouped together and given soon after birth or in the early months of infancy. Most of these shots contained a little-known preservative called thimerosal, which includes a quantity of the toxin mercury. Evidence of Harm explores the heated controversy over what many parents, physicians, public officials, and educators have called...

A Concise History of Finland
ISBN: 9780521539890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Few countries in Europe have undergone such rapid social, political and economic changes as Finland has during the last fifty years. David Kirby here sets out the fascinating history of this northern country, for centuries on the east-west divide of Europe, a country not blessed by nature, most of whose inhabitants still earned a living from farming fifty years ago, but which today is one of the most prosperous members of the European Union. He shows how this small country was able not only to survive in peace and war but also to preserve and develop its own highly distinctive identity,...

Talking about Movies with Jesus: Poems
ISBN: 9780807137727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Celebrated poet David Kirby says that when he was a boy he wanted to run away and join the circus but never found one he liked, so he invented his own. Many of the poems in his dazzling new collection, Talking about Movies with Jesus, suggest his personal carnival is still a work in progress. Much like a traveling circus, Kirby's poems are defined equally by their transient nature and by their destination. The poem "The Phantom Empire" -- which features Gene Autry repeatedly having to escape from a fictional city 20,000 feet underground in order to make it back home in time to voice his...

The Ha-Ha: Poems
ISBN: 9780807128947 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 55 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A feature of English landscape architecture, a ha-ha is a wall at the bottom of a ditch; its purpose is to allow the presence of cows and sheep on one's lawn, but at an agreeable distance and with none of the malodorous unsightliness that proximity would bring. Similarly, The Ha-Ha, the latest offering from poet David Kirby, is both an exploration of the ways in which the mind invites chaos yet keeps it at a distance and an apologia for humor, reflecting Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh's observation that tragedy is merely underdeveloped comedy. Embracing wit, wide-ranging scholarship, and an...
