Broke
ISBN: 9781938853906 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

Stratified Modernism: The Poetics of Excavation from Gautier to Olson
ISBN: 9783039119325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book proposes an alternative modernist tradition, a line of writers captured by the archaeological project and the poetic possibilities it created. This tradition spans from Theophile Gautier s mid-nineteenth-century passion for Egyptology to Charles Olson s literal excavations on the Yucatan peninsula in the 1950s. With attention to the historical development of archaeology, the author argues that the archaeological became a rich site of cultural fantasy, a location where modernity s alternatives could be considered, imagined, and transcribed. These models, taking their cue from new...

Ribcage
ISBN: 9781941783085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...
