Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Joe Enzweiler's A Winter on Earth confirms what readers of his four previous collections already know: Enzweiler is the real thing, an authentic maker, not a manufacturer, of poems. Between first snow and first rain, poem and prose poem, nature and human nature, the reader will find, to paraphrase a line from 'Woodsplitting,' two halves gathered in this single whole. This is a book for everyone's essential poetry shelf. -Jerah Chadwick, Alaska State Writer Laureate, 2004-2006.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Lunchboxes, by Dan Veach, preserves in the amber of poetry a classic 1950s Southern California childhood, complete with Superman capes, coonskin caps, cap pistols, and lunchboxes which, like this book, contain both baloney and Wonder bread. Deep background comes from the backwoods of Tennessee, where Grandpa makes a Nobel Prize discovery, and the kids get a snootfull of Aunt Ruth's snuff. Going farther back still, 'A Date with Clio,' the muse of history, breezes through a million years of human misadventures. Baloney is sandwiched in the 'Scherzo' section--the movement Beethoven reserved for musical jokes. And finally, for those who missed out on Dan's previous book, this lunchbox contains a cool thermos of Elephant Water.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. 'Taking joy, isn't easy,' Brown writes, 'as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets, or playgrounds littered with broken glass.' These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in 'Dream Letter Lullaby' Brown asks us to 'be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping.' His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- 'A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks.' Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that 'Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars.'.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On July 27, 2008, a man pulled a sawed-off shotgun from a guitar case and fired randomly into a crowded sanctuary during a youth-led worship service at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the Brian Griffin was director of Religious Education programming. The worship service was intended to be a production of the play Annie, Jr. produced by children of the church, under the tutelage of our Director of Music. Instead, just as a child spoke the opening words of the play, a man who hates liberalism opened fire. Two people were fatally wounded and seven others were also shot before church members wrestled the man to the ground, about five seconds after he opened fire. He got off three shots. After he was subdued, there were 73 unfired shotgun shells scattered across the floor. About one-hundred children and teens, many of them in his Religious Education program, witnessed this bloody scene. Some of the children were splattered with blood. One of the dead was the author's close friend who died in Sunday light after shielding others with his body. Many of the poems attempt to replicate some sense of the immediate horror and dissociation of trauma that that the author experienced as he watched things unfold in real time. Those constitute the first section, 'Lens.' Others, in the 'Mirror' section, are reflections on the event and what it might mean, filtered through his anxiety and traumatic memories. Still others are an exploration of ideas of healing and renewal ('Image') to the extent that he has found such things to be possible. The author's intent throughout is to reflect honestly on his experience. He wants to approximate, for the reader, how mass murder disconnects and in other ways reconnects its survivors to and from the quotidian. He shows the reader what happened, and to do so in a way that simply telling the story cannot-to guide the reader through a facsimile of trauma. These are not 'therapy' poems. These are attempts to share a glimpse into raw, hard horror, and the long struggle that ensues.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - KB Ballentine gathers poems into four sections that honor the ancient rhythms of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Edge of the Echo explores these elements and how they weave through the human experience and, though we are encompassed by them every day, we don't fully understand them. At the threshold of each season there is a mystic balance between the stones and the stars. The early Celts recognized what we have forgotten: the seasons of the year reflect an invisible geography between nature and the human soul. In this world full of upheaval and clatter, we need more than ever the tenacity of nature-its magic and variety that mends our weariness. This collection of poems invites the elements to speak to us once again.Out of the depths of the sea, a breath of wind. From the roots of the earth, the shifting fire. Warm and cool. Firm and flowing. The early Celts recognized the relationship of invisible geography where blood whispers and memory clings to these ancient rhythms of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.Though encompassed by these elements every day, we still don't fully understand them. Hegel said, 'The familiar, precisely because it is familiar, remains unknown.' Earth, air, water, fire: their energy destroys, nourishes, purifies, and we are captivated by this age-old tapestry of mystic balance between stone and stars. In this world full of upheaval and clatter, we need more than ever the tenacity of nature-its magic and variety that mends our weary souls. Within each season of the year a threshold emerges where these elements intersect, allowing the possibility to cross the thin spaces into the 'Other' that perforates the darkness around us. Spend time with the earth: revel in its strength. Drink deeply of the air and let it satisfy you. Taste the water, whether clear or salty, for its cleansing power. Dance with the flames of passion. Let the elements speak to you, speak through you. It's time to live again.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A pandemic passion project by poet, Karen J. Head, with Sandra Danneil (Editor), Randi Gunzenhäuser (Lead German Translator), and Anne-Françoise Le Lostec (French Translator), What We Missed: New and Selected Poems in English, German, and French was supposed to be a summer project in which students at TU-Dortmund would translate three to five poems as part of a seminar on poetry translation. Instead, it grew into a nearly two-year project, during which a French translator also joined. Head selected poems from five of her previous collections as well as new poems from over twenty years for translation by the students. The topics of the poems are wide-ranging, from the poet's memories, people and places of her life. Collectively, everyone in the world missed many things because of the pandemic. However, the project group discovered some bright moments during which they found ways to reach across virtual and cultural landscapes to do work they might otherwise never have had time to complete.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Solo Goya: Goya and the Duchess of Alba at Sanlúcar is a meticulously researched historical novel about the great Spanish painter Francisco Goya and his most famous patron, the 13th Duchess of Alba. The encounter between Goya and the Duchess of Alba which figures in this novel took place at Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the late summer of 1796, when Goya was aged 50 and the Duchess was a widow of 34. These facts and many others in this story are historically accurate, and most of the characters you will meet in this book actually lived at that time and place. But this is a novel, a work of fiction, and not a book of history. Since many of the details of Goyäs life are obscure or in dispute, the goal of this book is not to prove that this detail or that actually took place, but to create a plausible and engaging narrative that brings to life the major issues and ambiance of life in late 18th century Bourbon Spain. Author Jon Manchip White is uniquely equipped to recreate the world in which Goya lived ¿ the artist¿s easy access to extremes of social class, the dominance of the Catholic church, and his cultural preoccupations with war, violence, religion, art and politics.…
