By Elizabeth Acevedo. 2018
Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing #ownvoices novel-in-verse by an award-winning…
slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. A New York Times Bestseller 2018 National Book Award Winner for Young AdultsThintharoo. Colección poética

el cielo. Bellamente traducido del Malayalam al inglés y posteriormente traducido al español, contiene imágenes que harán volar al lector. Kuzhur Wilson es un poeta por excelencia que inhala y exhala poesía. Desde el momento en que abrió los ojos, ha visto un mundo diferente de los demás. Y continúa conversando con las plantas, los árboles, las flores, los peces, los animales, las personas, de la misma manera en que los cinco elementos le hablaron en ese momento decisivo. Aquí se muestra una imaginación en su mejor expresión, desde Thintharoo, un nombre que nunca llegó a ser el nombre de nadie, hasta un centenar de nombres extraños de los árboles que nos rodean. Kuzhur Wilson puede llamar a cada árbol por su nombre, como Dios nos llama en el día del Juicio Final. En su poesía, nuestro mundo parece estar al borde del colapso. Pero, Kuzhur Wilson convoca a sus mujeres para salvarnos ... 'Karingali que orina de pie, Kallavi suplicando ser llenada, Karanjili temblando de lujuria, Kaari que tararea mientras folla, Kaavalam que duerme después del trabajo, Thannimaram mostrando sus pétalos, Thambakam besando su vagina, Thellipayar saboreando un pinchazo, Neerkurunda en el languidez después de follar. Somos salvados.Stet: Poems (Princeton Series Of Contemporary Poets Ser. #139)
By Dora Malech. 2018
A fascinating collection of serious and playful poems that tap the inventive possibilities of the anagram and other constraining formsIn…
Stet, poet Dora Malech takes constraint as her catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life. Tapping the inventive possibilities of constrained forms, particularly the revealing limitations of the anagram, Stet is a work of serious play that brings home the connections and intimacies of language.“Stet,” from the Latin for “let it stand,” is a proofreading term meaning to retain or return to a previous phrasing. The uncertainty of changes made and then reconsidered haunts Stet as its poems explore what is left unsaid through erasures, redaction, and the limitations of spelling. How does one “go back” on one’s word or “stand by” one’s decisions? Can a life be remade or revised, or is the past forever present as in a palimpsest? Embodying the physicality and reproductive potentiality inherent in the collection’s forms and figures, Stet ends expectantly, not searching for closure but awaiting the messy, living possibilities of what comes next.By turns troubling and consoling, Stet powerfully combines lyric invention and brilliant wordplay.The Madman: His Parables and Poems

book but the Bible, the great Lebanese-American poet and artist Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) first became known to Americans in 1918 with the publication of The Madman.Thought-provoking and inspiring, the book is a collection of memorable, life-affirming parables and poems, many of them casting an ironic light on the beliefs, aspirations, and vanities of humankind — and many reminiscent of the work of Tagore and Nietzsche, both of whom were strong influences on Gibran.Among the 35 poems and parables in this volume are "How I Became a Madman," "The Two Hermits," "The Wise Dog," "The Good God and the Evil God," "Night and the Madman," "The Three Ants," "When My Sorrow Was Born," "And When My Joy Was Born," and many more.The book includes several illustrations by the author, whose exquisite drawings are reminiscent of Rodin and the best of Blake. ". . . the greatest of Arab Romantics and father of a 20th-century Romantic tradition whose impact on Arab writers has been at least as strong as that of 19th-century figures such as Wordsworth and Keats on their English-speaking counterparts." — Dr. Suheil Bushrui, Director of the Kahlil Gibran Chair on Values and Peace, University of MarylandLittle Orphant Annie and Other Poems

Famous for his nostalgic poems invoking the people and places of rural Indiana, James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916) earned himself the…
nickname "the Hoosier poet." His verse also earned him election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the gold medal of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and several honorary degrees.This volume contains a rich selection of his best and most familiar poems — filled with the warmth, humor, and picturesque Hoosier dialect that made Riley one of the most beloved American poets. Included are "The Old Swimmin'-Hole," "The Raggedy Man," "When the Frost Is on the Punkin," "Little Orphant Annie," "An Old Sweetheart of Mine," and many more.This book is filled with poems of various emotions, which I encountered while in depression, during healing, and after being…
healed. It also details my journey with God during this difficult time. In the depth of my depression when I didn’t care if I lived, God answered my prayer in a most unusual way – by giving me the desire to begin attending church. Not only did God heal me from depression by writing poetry, he healed me from the fear of being with strangers so I could eventually become an entertainer. I found strength, courage, and beauty while God was healing me, and the best part - He inspired me to be able to write all this in the form of poetry. He also taught me the power of prayer by bringing my husband back to life after his heart stopped beating for 2 minutes. The poems in this book range from desperation to humor. It is an inspirational journey of what God can do.Final Matters: Selected Poems, 2004-2010 (Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation #130)

An award-winning translator presents selections from the haunting final volumes of a leading voice in contemporary Hungarian poetrySzilárd Borbély, one…
of the most celebrated writers to emerge from post-Communist Hungary, received numerous literary awards in his native country. In this volume, acclaimed translator Ottilie Mulzet reveals the full range and force of Borbély’s verse by bringing together generous selections from his last two books, Final Matters and To the Body. The original Hungarian text is set on pages facing the English translations, and the book also features an afterword by Mulzet that places the poems in literary, historical, and biographical context.Restless, curious, learned, and alert, Borbély weaves into his work an unlikely mix of Hungarian folk songs, Christian and Jewish hymns, classical myths, police reports, and unsettling accounts of abortions. In her afterword, Mulzet calls this collection “a blasphemous and fragmentary prayer book … that challenges us to rethink the boundaries of victimhood, culpability, and our own religious and cultural definitions.”Dolefully, A Rampart Stands (Penguin Poets)

in the rural northeast of America, and explore rural poverty, entrapment, captivity, violence, and a longing to vanish. Ranging from free verse to a long noir prose poem, they examine who her, or our, "captors" might be. Ackerson-Kiely is interested in characters who are aware of their foibles, and who find ways to turn away from those problems in search of connection and freedom.Heroes, Horses, and Harvest Moons Illustrated Reader: A Cornucopia Of Best-loved Poems (A Cornucopia of Best-Loved Poems #0)

Tormenta sostenida
By Andrea Springs. 2019
Todas las canciones hablan de ti. La primera canción nunca se olvida. Se guarda en un rincón, apartada, sin interferir…
en tu vida, hasta que, de nuevo y por pura casualidad, vuelves a escucharla; y te hace sonreír y se te atragantan los recuerdos y personas asociadas a ella. La música tiene el poder de hacer sentir. Esto lo descubrí hace años, cuando la niña que fui se subía al pequeño escenario cada Navidad. Lo que no sabía es que, con el tiempo, la música me salvaría de nuevo. Hace tiempo que necesito escribir lo que mi voz no es capaz de pronunciar, las tormentas que todos llevamos y unos son capaces de verbalizar y otros, como yo, necesitamos escribirlas para sostenernos. En este libro te empaparás del agua salada que rodea mi vida que, como el mar Cantábrico, la primera impresión es un témpano de hielo, pero solo hace falta quedarse un rato para desmontar la coraza.Quiéreme Rota

la historia del día a día, y tiene la misma rima que la propia vida. Nos cuenta experiencias sacadas de contexto, como la bruta certeza de la existencia humana. Sin querer, pero ofendiendo, da un repaso a todos los sentimientos. La poesía nutre este libro lleno de frustración y creencias, sacado con la misma seguridad queda el dolor a la vida.Yellow Crane

Humana

Sufre, ama y lucha porque eres humana. Si alguna vez has vivido sin armadura, valientemente vulnerable;si alguna vez te has…
sentido una hada alada con plumas de plomo;si tus refugios algún día se llenaron de fantasmas que arrastran cadenas;si alguna vez has estado tan triste que te ha molestado hasta el ruido de las estrellas;si alguna vez las promesas eternas han tenido fecha de caducidad;si alguna vez te has sentido Wonder Woman, pero la capa te quedaba grande;si alguna vez un amor ha sido la pluma que te faltaba;si alguna vez un amor ha coloreado tus cuerdas vocales al pronunciar su nombre;si ha sido tu chaleco antibalas, tu Excalibur encantada,tu descanso del guerrero;si alguna vez te has sentido Eva al morder la mano que te prohíbe;si alguna vez te has sentido Pandora al abrir la caja y descubrir la opresión;si alguna vez te has sentido Medusa al ver lo poco escuchada que es la palabra «no»;si alguna vez te has sentido Afrodita al declarar amor eterno y paz a tu cuerpo;si alguna vez te has sentido amazona y dragona al luchar en primera fila;si alguna vez te has sentido humana, este es tu barco. Te invito a subir y a explorar junto a mí los tres océanos en los que sufrí, amé y luché.Poemario de amor, y nada más

By Juan Callejas. 2018
La luz es una llaga que no se cierra nunca... En este segundo poemario, después de Tierra escondida, Juan García…
Callejas nos desvela el valor irrenunciable de la poesía como recurso para alumbrar el discurrir de la existencia cotidiana. Inspirándose en una cita de Christian Bobin y en sintonía con el imaginario de Eloy Sánchez Rosillo, entre otros escritores que laten de forma implícita en su propuesta, nos confirma que la experiencia poética es un acceso posible, y necesario, a la certeza de que la luz pesa siempre más que la sombra. Veinte gramos de luz sigue siendo un canto confiado en que el deseo de ver hace posible el don de la iluminación.Dueto De Luciérnagas

By David O Meara. 2003
Winner of the 2004 Archibald Lampman Award (National Capital Region -- Ottawa) and shortlisted for the 2004 Trillium Book Award…
for Poetry and the 2004 ReLit Awards In The Vicinity David O'Meara gives us a new kind of cityscape, one that brings its unseen, and usually unsung, materials to the foreground. Brick, concrete (that "not-so-silver screen / our walk-on parts are posed upon"), glass, steel, wire: they step boldly from anonymity into fresh focus, backdrops goaded into stardom. Full of casually-worn wit and humour, often using intricate forms that deftly reflect their subjects, these poems probe our conventional attitudes while walking us down present or remembered streets -- "Some-such Avenue / Rue Saint Whatever."The Burning Alphabet
By Barry Dempster. 2005
The Burning Alphabet confirms and extends Barry Dempster’s reputation as one of Canada’s most respected poets. Underpinning these poems, as…
in his previous work, there lies an unswerving dedication to emotional and spiritual honesty, clear-eyed recognitions rendered without pomp. In one section, "Sick Days", he focuses on that "other place" of chronic illness. Other poems present arguments against suicide, and explore the tropical wonders of a woman’s closet. The closing section renders, with great candour and poignancy, the powerful love-hate relationship with an aging father. Dempster writes as though it were simply natural to have speech and song cohabit with such grace. In the thick of night, when we're dreaming of corridors and Dali clocks, the soft brown bodies of bucks and does are basking in our moonlight, nibbling on the last of our lettuce leaves, scratching impressions in our sand. They are the children we wish we'd had, fleeting images of ourselves before inner lives grew blotchy, eyes heavy with 10 p.m. cop shows and those blessedly nonsensical dreams. …From "Deer""In The Burning Alphabet, mood, with all its elaborate subtleties and manifestations, both in sickness and in health, constitutes a metaphysics. I feel as though I've lived an entire inner life in these pages, wrenching, dark, and amazingly sweet." – Roo Borson. Shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award for Poetry 2005; Winner of the CAA Jack Chalmers Poetry Award.
