Alight
ISBN: 9781556594229 / Angielski / Miękka / 65 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "With anatomical precision, Joudah illustrates scenes that are at once uncanny and contemporary, be it a Bedouin woman's lavender mourning veil, the chrome doors to an alchemist's home, or the mysterious speaker in 'Smoke, ' who exits abruptly and claims to have 'scripts to write and scrolls to find, ' a testament to the duties of attending physician and displaced poet alike. In both roles, Joudah has records to keep and history to revisit, and does so beautifully."--Booklist "Joudah's poetry is rich with the influences and styles of both American and Arabic poetry. It can be..."With anatomical precision, Joudah illustrates scenes that are at once uncanny and contemporary, be it a Bedouin woman's lavender mourning veil, th... |

Winner of the inaugural Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize, Dan Vera s Speaking Wiri Wiri is a work of historical insight and wry wit, unexpectedly delightful and full of surprises as it meditates on the challenges of multiple identities, ethnicity, geographies of migration, familial displacement, popular history, and more. Everything is fair game for Vera, who finds poetry in the mundane and the monumental, the hidden lives of iconic television stars and the alternate and accidental histories of Latinos in the United States. Carmen Miranda makes an appearance, as do Captain Kirk,...

ISBN: 9780268010478 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Filled with the nuanced beauty and complexity of the everyday-a pot of beans, a goat carcass, embroidered linens, a grandfather's cancer-A Tongue in the Mouth of the Dying journeys through the inherited fear of creation and destruction. The histories of South Texas and its people unfold in Laurie Ann Guerrero's stirring language, including the dehumanization of men and its consequences on women and children. Guerrero's tongue becomes a palpable border, occupying those liminal spaces that both unite and divide, inviting readers to consider that which is known and unknown: the body. Guerrero...

When Kathleen Driskell pulled an old edition of Emily Post s Etiquette from the used bookstore shelf and blew dust off the blue linen cover, she instantly found herself and her family within those pages not as the Worldlys, Oldlineages, or the Gildings (archetypes Post created to demonstrate how to properly manage a grand house full of servants), but as the housemaids, cooks, and useful men working for those very rich. The noted poet whose collection Seed Across Snow was twice listed as a national bestseller by the Poetry Foundation explores class, the workplace, and those tense...

ISBN: 9781927409541 / Angielski / Miękka / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poetry. ASPERITY STREET, Gail White's most balanced poetry collection, explores the breadth of human existence with cutting wit, irreverence, keen intelligence, and an uncommon mix of empathy and asperity.

White journeys the span from nursery to hospice in between, she navigates the prom, family occasions, mating, gossip, and money matters with masterful formal dexterity. This is a collection that...
