Rhymes of a Red Cross Man: Poems by Robert Service
ISBN: 9781518612749 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 54 poems, some resembling short jingles, others long and weighty with complex sentence-like structures, Service details his experiences of war. From the noble self-sacrifice of the infantryman to the base teasing of captured foe, Service spares no one. The poems are riddled with shrapnel, gunfire, grenades and bayonets. These are not poems by which to relax. Some stir us to anger and disgust; others to appreciation for our freedom and thankfulness for the sacrifice of those a century ago (and since) who protected us.

Redirection: The Prime Sonnets and Other Poems
ISBN: 9781927725207 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From its quirky sonnets on each of Canadas Prime Ministers to its ruminations on the history and landscape that have helped mould this country, Ways redirection is solidly a Canadian book. The poems are a tour-de-force that shifts in genre, tone, style and theme. Modernist interests are fused with postmodern sensibilities-anything goes as the poems slide from topic to topic, form to form. A charming "ode of sorts" on Al Purdy gives way to a sustained ode on the death of the authors great uncle in World War I, a satire about the odd compulsion of neighbours to decorate their driveways sits...

Could You Please, Please Stop Singing?
ISBN: 9781771611718 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Could You Please, Please Stop Singing, Sabyasachi (Sachi) Nag takes a step away from skepticism, blending humour with shock and surprise, seeking a return to childhood in Mamuda s Fries, innocence in Conversations with the Country Activist and fractals for the future in the yet to be invented Seedless Avocado. In attempting what Tomas Transromer calls walking through walls, Nag hurts and sickens himself with awe and rage. The title poem Could You Please, Please Stop Singing? purposely evokes the famous Hemingway line from Men Without Women and is central to the overall tonality of this...

The Unlit Path Behind the House: Volume 35
ISBN: 9780773546776 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The day's an old room / stripped of its furniture; there are / never enough beds in winter. / By late afternoon, the shadows / are forming a blue inconsolable hall // as sparrows retreat to makeshift / cots of pine bark and eaves. // Even the parched marsh grass / has stilled, every blade / become an ear. Sensuous, atmospheric, and spare, The Unlit Path Behind the House collects poems that seek light in difficult places. In lines filled with an intense music, Margo Wheaton listens for the lyricism inside the day's blessings and catastrophes. Wheaton's poems sing at the intersections where...
