Mosquito and Ant : Poems
ISBN: 9780393320626 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mosquito and Ant refers to the style in which nu shu--a nearly extinct script used by Chinese women to correspond with one another--is written. Here in this exciting and totally original book of poems the narrator corresponds with L. about her hidden passions, her relationship with her husband and adolescent daughters, lost loves, and erotic fantasies. Kimiko Hahn's collection takes shape as a series of wide-ranging correspondences that are in turn precocious and wise, angry and wistful. Borrowing from both Japanese and Chinese traditions, Hahn offers us an authentic and complex...

Commons
ISBN: 9780520231443 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Myung Mi Kim's Commons weighs on the most sensitive of scales the minute grains of daily life in both peace and war, registering as very few works of literature have done our common burden of being subject to history. Abstracting colonization, war, immigration, disease, and first-language loss until only sparse phrases remain, Kim takes on the anguish and displacement of those whose lives are embedded in history.
Kim's blank spaces are loaded silences: openings through which readers enter the text and find their way. These silences reveal gaps in memory and articulate experiences...

Treadwinds
ISBN: 9780819565105 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the Asian American Literary Award for Poetry (2003)
Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Poetry (2003) Since the early 1970s, the Korean American poet and scholar Walter K. Lew has produced innovative works ranging from linked-verse elegies for jazz musicians and multimedia "movietelling" performances to pioneering poetry anthologies and TV documentaries. Treadwinds collects much of Lew's poetry for the first time and arranges it into five thematic sections: his family's experience of Korea's turbulent history; death; the aesthetics of music and...

Of Thee I Sing
ISBN: 9780820326009 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In his fifth book of poems, Timothy Liu addresses a tripartite Thee: the Divine, the Beloved, and the State. A precarious dance between the spiritual and the material ensues, the lyric poem confronting a consumer culture overrun by rampant lust and greed yet finding itself unable to wholly stand outside of what it critiques. Any consolation found herein is short-lived. Even so, by extending the traditions of lyric poetry forward, these utterances seek to enlarge the conversation between art and life, anticipating whatever commerce the future might yet hold."

Pulling A Dragon'S Teeth
ISBN: 9780822958352 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is a proverb in China, "hu kou ba ya," literally pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, used to describe any extremely difficult task. When Shao Wei first arrived in the United States at age thirty-one, her desire to write poems in English seemed almost impossible. "Pulling a Dragon's Teeth," a first stop on the successful journey toward that goal, is filled with the rhythms and visions of this exciting young poet.
Shuttling between her childhood in a small mountain city on the shores of the Yangtze River (soon to be flooded by the Three Gorges Dam Project) and adulthood in Manhattan,...

Controvertibles
ISBN: 9780822958604 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Controvertibles features more of the refined brilliance and delicate lyricism of this poet, cast in a more meditative mode. Throughout, she examines cultural objects by lifting them out of their usual settings and repositioning them in front of new, disparate backdrops. Doug Flutie's famous Hail Mary pass and Rutger Hauer's role in Blade Runner are contextualized within the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Bob Beamon's world-record-setting long jump in the 1968 Olympics is slowed down and examined in the style of The Matrix's revolutionary bullet time. Samantha Smith,...

Quipu
ISBN: 9781556592263 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Sze brings together disparate realms of experience---astronomy, botany, anthropology, Taoism--and observes their correspondences with an exuberant attentiveness."--The New Yorker "Sze's poems seem dazzled and haunted by patterns."--The Washington Post Quipu was a tactile recording device for the pre-literate Inca, an assemblage of colored knots on cords. In his eighth collection of poetry, Arthur Sze utilizes quipu as a unifying metaphor, knotting and stringing luminous poems that move across cultures and time, from elegy to ode, to create a...

The Korean Spirit : Poems
ISBN: 9781596890718 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A collection of poems that captures the hopes and the fears of ethnic Koreans around the world, this volume also reflects the Korean "han" (angst) relating to Korean history and past, such as the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945). Particularly of note is the way the words of the Lords Prayer from the Gospel of Matthew is applied through poetry in the Korean historical consciousness and experience.

In Medias Res
ISBN: 9781932511062 / Angielski / Twarda / 73 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lee's strange and gemological arrangements are the measure of her gift. . . .-from the Foreword by Heather McHugh Ambitious and original, Karen An-hwei Lee's first book-length poem is in the form of an eccentric dictionary. In Medias Res brings to mind the long poems of Anne Carson, though Lee is less concerned with ironies than with mysteries. In compressed and oddly slanted definitions, ranging from one line, A paper bird unopened until marriage (Comparison), to longer, parable-like narratives, Lee's poem moves through the alphabet to limn the border between language and spirit. Often...

Provenance
ISBN: 9780979586118 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In her first collection of poetry, Liz Chang examines pieces of her life as though they were artifacts left behind by the tide: smoothed by time, partially revealed, and a bit salty. She grapples with relationships, reconsiders childhood memories, and confronts fears that one might not suffice, might not make a difference. While admitting to doubt and disappointment, her language is never bitter; she doesn't whine or thrash but observes, gently questioning her own provenance, occasionally soothing the self she's exploring and recognizing her need to connect. With directness ("I want to feel...
