Steep Tea
ISBN: 9781847772275 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The poems in Jee Leong Koh s "Steep Tea" are rich in detail of the worlds he explores and invents as he follows his desire for an unknown other, moving tentatively, passionately, always uncertain of himself. His language is colloquial, musical, aware of the infusion of various traditions and histories. You go where? / I m going from the latterly to the litany, from writs to rites. The poems share many of the harsh and enriching circumstances that shape the imagination of a postcolonial queer writer.

The Song of Myself: A New Verse Translation of the Bhagavad Gita with an Introduction, Notes on the Text and a Concluding Essay
ISBN: 9781907100048 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Song of Myself, whose title takes its cue from Walt Whitman's celebration of the self, Song of Myself, is a modern, free-flowing verse rendition of the classic Sanskrit text, The Bhagavad Gita. It provides a fresh reading of a much translated work that has become overlaid with both Eastern and Western ideas of spirituality which have obscured, and sometimes distorted, the central teaching: to know what the self is, what action is and what non-action is. In this new translation the author has sought to make those ideas clear through a readable verse translation that does not sacrifice...

In Final Cut, his fifth collection, the poets focus is turned towards the beauty that lies below the surface of the everyday; the extraordinary hiding in the ordinary. These poems are hymns of praise - to birds, to objects, to fruits and to our own human bodies, intently recounting the character and history of each. In time, items as mundane as a sparrow, a stapler or an orange take on the appearance of wondrous gifts. These meditations are joined by monologues, the remarkable yet unremarkable stories...
