Jackknife: New and Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780822964490 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Jackknife: New and Selected Poems, Beatty travels the turns and collisions of over twenty years of work. She moves from first-person narratives to poems that straddle the page in fragments, to lines that sprawl with long lines of train tracks. Always landing in meaning, we are inside the body--not in a confessional voice, not autobiography--but arriving through the expanded, exploded image of many stories and genders.
The new poems leap imagistically from the known world to the purely imagined, as in the voice in -Abortion with Gun Barrel-: -I am the counselor, /there...

Boneshaker
ISBN: 9780822957799 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In hard-hitting, sophisticated, often lyrical language, Jan Beatty investigates the idea of the body as cultural machine, shelter, mirage, or home. She rescripts the birth scene with girders and industrial pulleys; the womb as inhabited by a young girl architect. Structurally adventurous, the poems in Boneshaker question icons and invoke taboos, connect desire with place and class, walk the tightrope between sex and love.

The Body Wars: Poems
ISBN: 9780822966241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What would it take to be home in one’s body, to walk around the world as oneself, knowing the pain within and without us? Jan Beatty boldly answers that question by making a fire map of the body. These roiling poems smack into walls of meditation, only to slide down the smooth concrete into the flatline of joy. These are vital poems of dimension, of both psychic and literal travel, of the elasticity of truth and struggle, of the daily nature of desire that brings us to our knees - then shotguns us back to the heart’s center.

There are several notable instances and written accounts of women who have disguised themselves as men and joined the armies of their times to fight for patriotism, adventure or to follow a husband or lover to war. Mother Ross, who fought as a dragoon in Marlborough's ranks at Blenheim and many other engagements is a well known example, although there have been recorded instances of 'women-soldiers' throughout history.

Technology and the Search for Progress in Modern Mexico
ISBN: 9780520284906 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the late nineteenth century, Mexican citizens quickly adopted new technologies imported from abroad to sew cloth, manufacture glass bottles, refine minerals, and provide many goods and services. Rapid technological change supported economic growth and also brought cultural change and social dislocation. Drawing on three detailed case studies--the sewing machine, a glass bottle-blowing factory, and the cyanide process for gold and silver refining--Edward Beatty explores a central paradox of economic growth in nineteenth-century Mexico: while Mexicans made significant efforts to...
