Life in a Box Is a Pretty Life
ISBN: 9781937658281 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dawn Lundy Martin's Life in a Box is a Pretty Life investigates the ways in which language claims absolute knowledge and draws a box around lived experience. Martin writes poems that seek out moments when the box buckles, or breaks, poems that suggest there is more. Life in a Box is a Pretty Life continues Martin's investigation into what is produced in the interstices between the body, experience, and language, and how alternative narratives can yield some other knowledge about what it means to be black (or female, or queer) in contemporary America.

Freedom Time: The Poetics and Politics of Black Experimental Writing
ISBN: 9781421415208 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In Freedom Time, Anthony Reed offers a theoretical reading of -black experimental writing- that presents the term both as a...

Seldom a participant, he is rather an empathetic observer of life. Even when the speaker seems to be himself, we are not sure whether he is using this technique to make the poem seem more personal or employing his imagination to get inside his character's mind. This book is divided into three numbered sections. In the first and longest, his subjects do not originate in an ivory tower but are as contemporary and relevant as today's news reports. They include guns, prisoners, increasing dependence on technological... In "Privacy Issues, " Austin Alexis deals with a multitude of subjects.
