Psalms: Poems
ISBN: 9780393313048 / Angielski / Miękka / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Moving easily between high and low diction, evoking at once the language of the King James Bible and the sharp psalms of Bertolt Brecht, these lyrics offer a spirituality rooted in the daunting pressures of late-twentieth-century life-living in cities, disease, war, sexual love, friendship, and, always, wandering.

Sphere: The Form of a Motion
ISBN: 9780393313109 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sphere is the second of A. R. Ammons's long poems--following Tape for the Turn of the Year and preceding Garbage--that mark him as a master of this particular form. The sphere in question is the earth itself, and Ammons's wonderfully stocked mind roams globally, ruminating on subjects that range from galaxies to gas stations. It is a remarkable achievement, comparable in importance to Wallace Stevens's Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction.

As the Jerusalem Post put it, "She has, in large measure, fulfilled Emerson's dream-the revelation of 'the miraculous in the...

Bad Alchemy: Poems
ISBN: 9780393315318 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In her fourth collection of poems Elizabeth Spires addresses the elemental subjects of life and of literature: birth, death, creation, and intimations of immortality. The first section focuses on the experiences of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth from the points of view of both mother and child. The second section offers a reversal and reply in which the poems move out into a divided and divisive world. These poems are distinguished by an immaculate lyricism, a pristine sense for the natural world and the rhythms of language.

Loosestrife: Poems
ISBN: 9780393316834 / Angielski / Miękka / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this tenth collection, Stephen Dunn turns his -wise, well-practiced eye- (Library Journal) on an America growing ever more stringent with its daily mercies. Not content merely to observe the world, Dunn's stance is always dual, complicit. And as he navigates through each paradox of his moral and aesthetic and erotic selves, this poet, described by Sydney Lea as one -who remains open to contradictions, - travels to a place of exact and complicated vision. In this tenth collection, Stephen Dunn turns his -wise, well-practiced eye- (Library Journal) on an America growing ever more stringent wi... |
