Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "In these turbulent times, we can find solace in our expressions of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and aggravations. We can use poetry as an outlet for feelings too big to express in simple ways. Steve's poetry gives voice to readers' amorphous ideas and fears. For those who don't have the same ease putting thoughts on paper, Steve's voice expresses things typically too intangible to make solid. Read this and know you're not alone. Even in darkness there is light. While things may seem dire, change is always possible. But, sometimes you just need to yell loud enough for others to hear."-Stacy Harken, JD, Information Architect/Technical Writer"I've followed Steve Gerson's poetry for years. I've seen him tackle disease, culture, politics, life, and much more. I'm struck by this new book as I find it just a bit more aggressive and pessimistic than the previous entries, but for good reason. The United States has entered into unprecedented territory, and this is reflected in the words within this book. Gerson's poems mirror how all of us feel as we slowly descend into Dystopia. As a photographer and artist, I am particularly drawn to the use of light and dark to depict moods and emotions. In all the darkness of our daily lives, he sums up our times, our culture, our lives with one simple question: 'Can Light Emerge?'"-Collin Thomas, Media and Marketing Manager"Replete with luminescent artistry, Steve Gerson's latest volume sparkles amid tales of love, loss, desolation, and hope. In crystalline poetry and prose, Dystopia captures the present Orwellian state of Amerika ruled by a would-be king. But the sheer beauty of Gerson's verbiage surmounts all, ranging from the love of his life to renderings of tortured relationships, Kafkaesque imaginings, and the fraying of a nation's promises and ideals. Presented by a patriot confounded by his nation's turn, this book is masterful, memorable, and meaningful."-Dr. Robert C. Cottrell, author of the two-volume Revolution, Counterrevolution, and Assassination."Dr. Gerson has once again stepped further into his poetic genre with his ninth book of poetry. Building on his past successful insights into nature and human experience with shared observations, Dystopia takes us to the dark side of human survival and existence in an ambiguous and disconnected society. Like Orwell's 1984, bleakness is pervasive, yet within the poems like 'Existential Cataract' and 'Hacker's Rap, ' a connection is created with the reader as an aware human being in a not-so-human world driven by aging cultures and artificial intelligence, all without clear boundaries or meaning, or any sense of value. My favorite selection brings crows out in winter to survive in the dark and cold: 'Self Portrait as February' speaks personally to me. Although perhaps this book could be considered somewhat dark in terms of theme, the depth of human consciousness within each piece certainly makes this collection one of Gerson's best."-Dr. Bill Lamb, English Professor This item is printed on demand.

Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Steve Gerson's latest collection moves from light to dark. It begins with the kind of love poems that could only be written by someone who has loved for a long time. They are rife with powerful images that show us true love doesn't have to fade: "your hands in mine as small as birdsong" or "stay with me as long as ink and paper remember." In part two, Gerson shatters us with images of loss like "seawater salt, like acid rains, eroded her resolve into fissures" or "like planting corn in concrete." The final section of the book, "Lost," takes the reader through the experience of various speakers who suffer trauma. Throughout the book, Gerson experiments with form, most notably with the erasure poems in the "Lost" section. This book begins with bird song, but it ends with an AK 47 and the Apocalypse. This great collection of poems is a knockout." -Dr. Beth Gulley, author of I Am Your Fish Drowning In Air: Love Poems "Albeit an optimist, this poet writes truthfully about the trying times we have all been living through. Recently, we have been forced to make frequent pivots - pivots to plans, to rules, to procedures, to hopes, to change. Love and losing and loss are the felt arc of this chapbook. This poetic arc suggests continued inspiration for the next phase - finding peace and love and hopefully solutions beyond the madness. Gerson writes, "but overflowing onto pages into our future written" in Chapter 1. These words hint at a positive conclusion beyond Chapter 3." -Dr. Stefani G. Buchwitz, Director, Self Graduate Fellowship, University of Kansas "Steve Gerson's evocative poems immerse the reader in what it means to love in our unsettling times. The first of three sections, "Love," transitions from the enclosed and timeless world of the lover and his beloved to our present-day, digital world where a love letter, no longer handwritten, can be deleted in an instant. "Losing," the middle chapter, begins with classic impediments to love: unfaithfulness, lack of communication, illness. The intrusions in "Lost" switch from the personal to the world at large: homelessness, racism, climate change, 9/11, Covid, and hanging over it all, the digital world which we have embraced. Throughout, striking images highlight the progression from love to loss as the poems move from the beloved, "your hands .as small as birdsong" to a bride wearing "toxic mascara" to a teacher, "a little lady wearing a reindeer sweater" and wielding a gun. Timely and thought-provoking, energetic and perceptive, Gerson's poems are a testament to the challenges love faces in our viral world." -Edie Cottrell Kreisler, Professor Emeritus of English, Merritt College, Oakland, CA. "This second volume of rhythmic incantations cements Steve Gerson's standing as a foremost American poet. Exuding sensuousness, pathos, and prescience, Viral: Love and Losses in the Time of Insanity brilliantly captures the urban landscape amid the pandemic as expertly as its counterpart, Once Planed Straight, evokes enduring images of the heartland. Gracefully and poignantly etched, Viral contains fifty-two exquisitely drawn poems nested in the pristine arcs of "Love," "Losing," and "Lost." The braided themes range from enduring love to vaccine refuseniks to the national shame of school shootings involving 'another child another child,' as Gerson eloquently weeps." -Dr. Robert Cottrell, author of Izzy: A Biography of I.F. Stone.

Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Among America's most prolific, penetrating, and prescient poets, Steve Gerson deftly delivers yet again with his latest volume, The 13th Floor: Step into Anxiety with Jeremiah-like lamentations. Brilliantly, even luminously drawn, this collection contains Gerson's typically elegant verses but also masterful flash stories and abbreviated musings. Subject matters are of the micro and macro level, intimate and not, pertaining to personal or global occurrences, which exude permanence or evanescence. In trademark fashion, Gerson artfully explores cutting-edge events ranging from the pandemic to endless tumult in the Near East and Putin's war in Ukraine to Americana at its most moving, poignant, wistful, terrifying, and, yes, hopeful. Thus, the reader encounters the rapidly transmuting virus but also another deadly epidemic: that of random shootings with far-too-young victims. Included too are meaningful stories of loss pertaining to relationships, economic distress, and the human condition itself, imperiled by climatic catastrophe. Dr. Robert C. Cottrell's most recent book, The Activist 1960s: Striving for Political and Social Empowerment in America, will soon be released. "In these troubling times, it helps to feel less alone, more connected, and seen by others. Steve Gerson's chapbook does that - his depictions of anxiety, depression, loss, and fear help give the fleeting emotions that drift through your thoughts a space to breathe. In a series of vignettes, his attention to time's inexorable march forward allows you to step out of your own world and step into a very real depiction of the unreal. Take this pause as a way to reflect on your own experience. Let his torment lessen your own. Steve's beautiful, sometimes haunting, sometimes humorous depictions of other lives each transport you to another space, another time, and another existence. His artistic and evocative expressions of feeling and emotion leave you thoughtful and more fulfilled." Stacy Harken, JD, Information Architect/Technical Writer, Garmin Industries "The 13th Floor by Steve Gerson is a book of poems, flash stories, and musings that tackles the modern paradox of loneliness in modern life, with all its opulence. Depression is rampant with undercurrents of latent anxiety. This work cuts though all the noise that comes with existing in a fast-paced society. And in this exploration, Gerson takes the reader on a hilarious ride that is pure schadenfreude. The genius of this work is that it is not an attack. Gerson does not preach. Rather, it is a feel-good rollick through everyday musings that will leave the reader smiling and pausing to connect intensely with Gerson's imagery. This book is a meditation on what we need to laugh at in these anxious times. 13th Floor is the magic bullet to smile and deserves a permanent seat on the coffee table with the iPhone and the laptop." Rob Titus, JD, Titus Law Firm "'So I turn on my smartphone to mute distraction.' 'Want to eat some stress?' Could there be a more accurate statement and subsequent question (approximately 20 pages apart) summarizing today's society and our hyperfocus on the constant flood of information? Although sad but true, Gerson calls to attention the innumerable factors in life that can and do lead to anxiety. Even for those of us who are privileged, the world in which we live is challenging. The demands of life are simply ongoing and often unpredictable. In reading Gerson's Chapbook, we learn that at least we're not alone." Dr. Stefani Buchwitz, Director, Self Graduate Programs, University of Kansas.
