Handwriting
ISBN: 9780375705410 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -Tumultuous, vibrant, tragic and over too soon.- --Newsday
Handwriting is Michael Ondaatje's first new book of poetry since The Cinnamon Peeler. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when -handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke- and remembers a woman's -laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh.-... -Tumultuous, vibrant, tragic and over too soon.- --Newsday

New Addresses
ISBN: 9780375709128 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kenneth Koch, who has already considerably "stretched our ideas of what it is possible to do in poetry" (David Lehman), here takes on the classic poetic device of apostrophe, or direct address. His use of it gives him yet another chance to say things never said before in prose or in verse and, as well, to bring new life to a form in which Donne talked to Death, Shelley to the West Wind, Whitman to the Earth, Pound to his Songs, O'Hara to the Sun at Fire Island.
Koch, in this new book, talks to things important in his life -- to Breath, to World War Two, to Orgasms, to the French Language,... Kenneth Koch, who has already considerably "stretched our ideas of what it is possible to do in poetry" (David Lehman), here takes on the classic poet...

ISBN: 9780375709654 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In her remarkable Black Series, Laurie Sheck turns the ordinary world inside out and shows us its glittering seams. Her long, elegantly quizzical lines convey a haunted vision of human striving which is in part an elaboration on our daily reality, and in part a fantastic departure from it. I can almost taste the glassy air, she writes. Where are the birds in it, / wings lifting as currents buffet them like echoes, bright / chaos of atomized instances . . . ? Roaming freely in the shifting landscape of the imagination, Sheck delivers an inner life that is just as vivid as what we see...

ISBN: 9780375710148 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mary Jo Salter s sparkling new collection, Open Shutters, leads us into a world where things are often not what they seem. In the first poem, Trompe l Oeil, the shadow-casting shutters on Genoese houses are made of paint only, an open lie. And yet Who needs to be correct / more often than once a day? / Who needs real shadow more than play?
Open Shutters also calls to mind the lens of a camera in the villanelle School Pictures or in the stirring sequence In the Guesthouse, which, inspired by photographs of a family across three generations, offers at once a social history of...

These lush, rewarding reflections on a woman s passage into midlife are grounded in our intimacy with nature and mortality. Deborah Digges, now in her fifties, looks back in such poems as Boat to see younger mothers and their children, and ponders her own brilliant, trivial unmooring. As she wanders from the garden to the barn and into the woods, she finds her moods mirrored in the calendar of the seasons, making lush music of the materials at hand and accepting the seismic changes in her life with an appreciation for the incidental scraps of beauty she chances upon.

With Trouble in Mind, her long-awaited third collection, Lucie Brock-Broido has written her most exceptional poems to date. There is a new clarity to her work, a disquieting transparency, even in the midst of the wild thickets of language for which she is known. A poet at the border of her own allegory, Brock-Broido searches for a lexicon adequate to the extremities of experience a quest that is as capricious as it is uncompromising. In the process, she reveals, unsparingly, things as they are. In Pamphlet on Ravening she recalls, I was a hunger artist once, as well. / My bones had...
