Broke
ISBN: 9781938853906 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The poems in Joan Colby's chapbook BROKE were engendered by an accident in which several of the author's bones were broken. This led her to contemplate aspects of the word "broke." Due to a badly fractured wrist, the poems were laboriously printed with the non-dominant hand, which captures how the fact of brokenness, like the word itself, insinuates both damage and repair. Ironically, X rays of the tension-wire hardware used to secure Colby's shattered kneecap were eerily identical to the symbol for extinction shown on the chapbook's cover.

Joan Colby: Selected Poems
ISBN: 9781938853296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2013 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. David Pichaske writes in the Foreword to this collection: "Thirty-five years is a long time in anyone's career-long enough to see how things turned out. Long enough to allow us to draw some conclusions. Long enough to trace the arc of a career...." Joan Colby: Selected Poems represents a body of work "underwritten by an intelligence itself as fiery as it is sharp" (Philip Dacey), "both loud and haunting, both vivid and quiet as a falling stone" (Christina Zawadiwsky). Includes selections from Blue Woman Dancing in the Nerve (1979), Chagall...

Ribcage
ISBN: 9781941783085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Years drain the energy from some poets, but Joan Colby's work is as fresh and creative as ever, perhaps more so. Ribcage showcases the poet's rich imagination on subjects attempting to reconcile body and mind. The first section of the book ("The Body in Question") extends metaphors from various body parts (heart, blood, nerves, finger and hands, etc.), and the last section ("The Mind at Play") continues with a rich lyric and imagery often sung from a mystic sensibility. Humor and irony are also part of the poet's toolbox, as in "Chewed to Meat Hooks" in which the purposes of the hand are...

Carnival
ISBN: 9781938853913 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. CARNIVAL celebrates the quirky, the odd, and an audience of participants and voyeurs. The first section contains linked poems that focus on small towns' annual festivals. The second, "Sideshows," looks at fictional, mythic, and real characters from a speculative angle. The third, "The Traveling Circus," centers on one of mankind's oldest entertainments. CARNIVAL unleashes a vibrant and revolutionary spirit in poems that favor a skewed vision: sometimes effervescent, often dark.
