The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons: Volume 2 1978-2005
By A R Ammons, Robert M West, Helen Vendler. 2017
An essential volume from “a master maker” (Richard Howard). “If you will sit with me in the light // of…
speech, I will sit with you. . . .” Readers who accept that invitation will find themselves in extraordinary company. The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons, Volume II presents the second half of Archie Randolph Ammons’s long career, including the complete texts of his two book-length poems from that period: Garbage, for which he won his second National Book Award, and Glare, which drew special praise from the Academy of American Poets as it bestowed on him its highest honor, the Wallace Stevens Award. In addition, two appendices offer over one hundred and twenty previously uncollected poems dating from the 1950s to the late 1990s. Among this volume’s many highlights are celebrations of the natural world (such as “Hermit Lark” and “Lofty Calling”), poems of remembrance (as in “Chinaberry” and “Keeping Track”), prayers (“Singling & Doubling Together” and “Autonomy”), and compelling meditations on loss and mortality (such as “Easter Morning” and “In View of the Fact”). As in Volume I, the variety of scale is remarkable, ranging from the massiveness of Glare to the haiku-like brevity of “Pebble’s Story.” The text of each poem has been established after careful consideration of Ammons’s manuscripts and other prepublication materials. Endnotes detail the poems’ composition and publication histories, and also helpfully annotate references made within the poems. Celebrated poetry critic Helen Vendler’s introduction both humanizes Ammons and traces the growth of his outsized stature as a major poet, “unquestionably among the best-loved poets of our time” (David Lehman).A Christmas Garland

Vihang A. Naik traz à luz a vida de uma cidade em todas as suas sombras, glória e desgraça em…
seu livro Cidade de Memórias e Outros Poemas. É uma antologia de seus poemas intuitivos e filosóficos. Os poemas são divididos em seis segmentos: “Canção de amor de um andarilho” é mais ou menos um registro de viagens íntimo. “O homem espelhado” é sobre outras quimeras da cidade. As pessoas na cidade são imprevisíveis como o andar de um caranguejo ou as cores de um camaleão. Enquanto, “O caminho para a sabedoria” é sobre o embarque inicial à meditação e ao conhecimento. “À margem” registra o senso de futilidade, memoria, dor, exílio e alienação do poeta à margem da vida. O título desta coleção é também o título da última das seis sessões, na qual a cidade é revelada como um lugar de mercado, como um paraíso para oprimidos, e como uma semente de mudanças, e é observada ao anoitecer, à meia noite, pela luz da lua e pela névoa e bruma. O poema intitulado “Auto-retrato” começa com a diagramação de sete páginas em branco onde o leitor encontra apenas três palavras no final da última página. Aqui “o poeta se encontra em um momento de epifania, descobre a verdadeira natureza de si próprio quando acorda, ‘para ver/Eu” ‘descoberto além do pensamento’. Entre ‘Eu’ e ‘descoberto além do pensamento’ têm cinco páginas em branco. A epifania inefável e ambígua. Pode sugerir tanto a descoberta de um Eu transcendental além de todo pensamento e linguagem quanto pode sugerir a descoberta de uma Ausência além do pensamento e da fala humana.1000 Poems from the Manyoshu: The Complete Nippon Gakujutsu Shinkokai Translation

por el reconocido poeta israelí Mois Benarroch. Entre el Rayo y el Trueno Entre el rayo y el trueno para cuando veo tu luz ya hay demasiado ruido. Aquí En estas calles el ángel que caminó antes que yo me ayudó a caminar evitando que cayera me salvó cuando tuve un accidente de coche en la cabeza cerca de la sinagoga sobre la cabeza del año aquí en estas calles tan vacías de mí lloré por primera vez sonreí por primera vez y desde aquí viajé a todas partes ahora he vuelto buscando la comprensión de las casas, las calles, las aceras, la gente. Si Me Ves por la Calle y no te saludo no creas que no quiero tu compañía o que intento hacerte daño si me ves por la calle y estoy pensando en otro poema en otras palabras que puedan por fin describir la línea del firmamento que se conecta entre mis piernas y la ciudad en la que nací un gran arco iris si me ves por la calle y no digo hola no es una declaración de guerra sino una mirada hacia el futuro. Arena me llevó veinte años aprender a llorar en hebreo entonces mis palabras se volvieron suaves como una roca cuyo secreto fue desvelado por la lluvia: estaba hecha de arena.Esquina em Tetuão

Le poete et romancier Benarroch a été traduit dans des dizaines de langues, dont l'urdu et le chinois. Julia Uceda…
considère que la poésie de Benarroch renferme la mémoire du monde alors que Jose Luis Garcia Martin pense qu'il s'agit de plus que de poèmes, il s'agit d'une référence. Témoin de son temps, Benarroch a commencé à écrire des poèmes en anglais à l'âge de 15 ans et a toujours écrit dans sa langue maternelle, l'espagnol. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle édition de « Les Litanies de l'émigré », elle inclut le poème le plus célèbre de Benarroch, qui donne son nom à cette collection. Dans ce livre, Mois Benarroch (né en 1959 au Maroc) évoque son émigration et l'art de vivre entre deux mondes, sans jamais s'intégrer.Garvey's Choice
By Nikki Grimes. 2016
Garvey's father has always wanted Garvey to be athletic, but Garvey is interested in astronomy, science fiction, reading--anything but sports.…
Feeling like a failure, he comforts himself with food. Garvey is kind, funny, smart, a loyal friend, and he is also obese, teased by bullies, and lonely. When his only friend encourages him to join the school chorus, Garvey's life changes. The chorus finds a new soloist in Garvey, and through chorus, Garvey finds a way to accept himself, and a way to finally reach his distant father--by speaking the language of music instead of the language of sports. This emotionally resonant novel in verse by award-winning author Nikki Grimes celebrates choosing to be true to yourself.Portami al mare

By R. P. Draper. 1999
This critical survey of modern poetry from Thomas Hardy to Seamus Heaney considers both the self-consciously revolutionary innovations of Modernism…
and more traditional developments, taking fully into account the extent to which 'English' can no longer be equated solely with England. Scots, Welsh and Irish poetry, and poetry from Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean, are recognised as equally important aspects of the diversity that characterises modern poetry in English; and, in particular, the contributions of North American poets such as Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens and Robert Lowell receive the major emphasis that their achievement and extensive influence warrants and attention is given to important new perspectives in the work of women poets such as Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath and Elizabeth Bishop.Sílabas sin ruido
By Janeth Toledo. 2017
Un poemario que surge desde el verbo que se hace en silencio, en íntima comunión con su cuerpo y la…
naturaleza. Desde hace más de veinte años y hasta el día de hoy -cuando al parecer ha fijado ya su residencia definitiva en la tierra- Janeth Toledo ha vivido en distintos parajes del Valle de los Chillos en los cuales ha afinado su percepción y comprensión de la naturaleza. En ese diálogo con el paisaje -entendido como espacio de meditación y reflexión- Janeth encuentra buena parte de los elementos con los que construye sus poemas: sutiles visiones del entorno en las que proyecta sus emociones y su memoria, o al revés: el caudal de su experiencia afectiva transformando y resignificando el paisaje que habita. «Después de la lloviznatodo campo es más verdebrilla la hojay en su nervadura late febrilel pulso de la vida.» En el filón creativo de los poetas románticos, la autora interioriza la naturaleza, la hace pasar por su cuerpo y sus afectos para devolverla al lector trastocada, en forma de imágenes reveladoras, elocuentes en su laconismo y en su sigilo. Si sus palabras «nacen en la opacidad», su voz ruge «en el primer aliento / de las valvas». Esta hermosa imagen inaugural acaso resuma su dicción y su verdad: traducir el grito del cuerpo a una lengua de secretos y murmullos, decir la vida a través de las pequeñas hendiduras del cuerpo, aquellas que abren el sexo y los sentidos, nuestros más precisos instrumentos de conocimiento y de comunicación. Con este pequeño, íntimo, entrañable poemario, Janeth Toledo debuta en la poesía para cantar en voz baja y eficaz las profundas certezas e incertidumbres que no invaden ahora mismo. Hay que apegarla oreja para escuchar su rugido. Cristóbal ZapataSleeping with the Dictionary (New California Poetry #4)

Neruda: The Poet's Calling
By Mark Eisner. 2018
The most definitive biography to date of the poet Pablo Neruda, a moving portrait of one of the most intriguing…
and influential figures in Latin American historyFew poets have captured the global imagination like Pablo Neruda. In his native Chile, across Latin America, and in many other parts of the world, his name and legacy have become almost synonymous with liberation movements, and with the language of erotic love. Neruda: The Poet’s Calling is the product of fifteen years of research by Mark Eisner, writer, translator, and documentary filmmaker. The book vividly depicts Neruda’s monumental life, potent verse, and ardent belief in the “poet’s obligation” to use poetry for social good. It braids together three major strands of Neruda’s life—his world-revered poetry; his political engagement; and his tumultuous, even controversial, personal life—forming a single cohesive narrative of intimacy and breadth.The fascinating events of Neruda’s life are interspersed with Eisner’s thoughtful examinations of the poems, both as works of art in their own right and as mirrors of Neruda’s life and times. The result is a book that animates Neruda’s riveting story in a new way—one that offers a compelling narrative version of Neruda’s life and work, undergirded by exhaustive research, yet designed to bring this colossal literary figure to a broader audience.The Truth Is Told Better This Way

their bones. Straddling dreamy, ethereal images and brutal honesty, The Truth is Told Better This Way unravels its secrets one line at a time.

By Carole Boston Weatherford, Floyd Cooper. 2008
Before the legend of Billie Holiday, there was a girl named Eleanora. In 1915, Sadie Fagan gave birth to a…
daughter she named Eleanora. The world, however, would know her as Billie Holiday, possibly the greatest jazz singer of all time. Eleanora's journey into legend took her through pain, poverty, and run-ins with the law. By the time she was fifteen, she knew she possessed something that could possibly change her life--a voice. Eleanora could sing. Her remarkable voice led her to a place in the spotlight with some of the era's hottest big bands. Billie Holiday sang as if she had lived each lyric, and in many ways she had. Through a sequence of raw and poignant poems, award-winning poet Carole Boston Weatherford chronicles Eleanora Fagan's metamorphosis into Billie Holiday. The author examines the singer's young life, her fight for survival, and the dream she pursued with passion in this Coretta Scott King Author Honor winner. With stunning art by Floyd Cooper, this book provides a revealing look at a cultural icon.
