Paperback. Condición: New. Bill Littlefield plays games even as he writes about them, or talks about them on his nationally syndicated NPR radio program, Only a Game. He unabashedly versifies not for profit, or a championship cup, but for fun. He makes no bones about it: these verses are doggerel. From mumblety-peg to the Olympi…cs, from the bedrooms of aspiring nine-year-olds to the boardrooms of sports executives, his imagination and playfulness illuminate the rings, rinks, fields, and frustrations of sports and games.What Racers DoRacers race. That's what they do,And they are fast, and noisy, too.(Of quiet they are quite bereft,Driving fast and turning left.)Through headphones, as they speed along,They hear instructions like a songScreeching in the treble clef:"Keep driving fast and turning left!"Precisely where it had begun,The race will end. It will be won,For someone opposite of lastKept turning left and driving fast."What is it about rhyme? Whatever it is, we fall in love with it (if ever) early in life: as soon as we learn to talk, or probably sooner. The same can be said about love for sports. By bringing together these two forms of attachment, the clever Littlefield reminds us that poetry and sports, at a level deeper than their different kinds of grandiosity, both have roots in childhood pleasures."-Former Poet Laureate Robert PinskyWhile we confidently expect children to delight in them, we offer them for adults. Take Me Out takes us out to the ball game, to the chess match, to the squash court, in rain and shine.BILL LITTLEFIELD is the host of NPR and WBUR's sports show, Only a Game,which is syndicated to some 200 public radio stations around the country. The author of several books on sports, two novels and two collections of his radio and magazine commentaries, he is writer-in-residence at Currey College, where he teaches one course each semester. A graduate of Yale University and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Littlefield began broadcasting sports commentary on WBUR (Boston) in 1984.STEPHEN COREN is a graphic designer, artist, web developer and video producer who lives in the Boston area. Coren, Stephen (ilustrador).

Paperback. Condición: New. Shcherbina emerged in the early 1980s as the spokesperson for the new, independent Moscow culture. Her work was first published in the official press of the Soviet Union in 1986, and five volumes of her poetry were published in samizdat prior to 1990. Her poetry is now widely published in both establis…hed and experimental journals at home and abroad, and has been translated into Dutch, German, French, and English. Shcherbina's poetry blends the personal with the political, and the source for her material is pulled from classical literature, as well as French and German cultural influences."Still-Life"Zing-Boom-Snap:drop here and there dropthe seed senses the ground like a greedy trap.Whether it needs to fall, it needs to stay putas the uttermost prophetic white grasslet in the airand kafka, with golden inks a crazy engraverwrites: "The seed succeeded, conceived immaculate."The seed Zing-Snap-Boom:sets out at randomeither toward this mother or that motheror swimming orphaned toward a leeside cutter:hurrah, an oasis! hurrah, an oasis!And all of it a mess!Snap-Boom-Zing:my mother's a sun descended from yellow melons,father a boomerang of moons a lunar elk,between them a euclidean parallel:il mirroring il, elle mirroring elle.The seed, mothlike, like troutknocks knocks against the lantern's lightlocked behind a glass door.Still-life: pitch dark on market day.Tatiana Shcherbina Shcherbina was awarded a Bourse de Création from the French Ministry of Culture.

Paperback. Condición: New. Explorations of humans in the natural world using tender, sometimes erotic, always moving language. Julia Fiedorczuk entangles images and concepts from science (astronomy, physics, and biology) with deeply personal explorations of relationships and connectedness in her debut poetry book in English. Nat…ure abounds in these poems, and Fiedorczuk is, in turn, ever present in "that luscious fruit, the world." Her passionate engagement with the details of the environment and the people in it makes hers an unforgettable voice in contemporary ecopoetics, one that argues for empathy and alertness. She has published five volumes of poetry, three of fiction, and three books on ecocriticism, and won several Polish literary awards.

Paperback. Condición: New. A successor to Korean feminist poets like Kim Hyesoon, Yi Won frequently writes about the perilousness of maintaining one's human identity in a high-tech, digital environment. In this debut book in English, her poems range from avant-garde prose poems to more lyrical, if dark, free verse, as she examin…es isolation, death, and the passage of time - and in the process, upends polite society and Korean literary culture.

Paperback. Condición: New. One of the most versatile and rebellious poets in Poland, Swietlicki takes us into streets, cafes, rooms, and conversations where - with his signature dark glasses - he ponders metaphysical questions in the minutiae of daily life. These are poems about life, forgiveness, communication, love, death, and… time: in the slit of a mailbox, he sees "Not the light but / the galloping Now." The poems have an urban edge and bite, and Swietlicki has recorded many of them as lyrics with his rock band. The collection, his first to be translated into English, culls work from all twelve of his published volumes.

Paperback. Condición: New. Song Lin's poems explore his sojourns in several countries, the natural world outside him, and his own inner landscape. His early imprisonment during the 1989 Tienanmen Square protests gave rise to the title poem, as well as a profound sense of yearning that pervades much of his work. He is a wanderer…in the world and in the language of poetry, often finding beauty in others that are also on the move: birds, rivers, the wind. While his work is rooted in both contemporary and classical Chinese poetry, he incorporates American, French, and Latin-American literary traditions into his poems.

Paperback. Condición: New. Eyewitness account of Frost's 1962 visit to the Soviet UnionAt the height of the Cold War in 1962, the most American of poets travels to the Soviet Union to have it out with Premier Nikita Khrushchev. For the first time in paperback, Zephyr Press is proud to bring back into print F.D. Reeve's poignant…account of Robert Frost's visit to the Soviet Union at the invitation of John F. Kennedy. Nearing the 30th anniversary of the trip, this travelogue details Frost's last voyage from America in his bid to bring East and West together.From Robert Frost in Russia Frost was hesitant both to accept the Russians' admiration and to acknowledge the status and the energy of the Russian intelligentsia. He was loath to separate intellectual speculation from politics. At breakfast this Friday morning, we had chatted about the evening before and had gone on to discuss the social function in Russia of the writer and of the intellectual. Frost refused to regard the Russian intellectuals differently from the American, most of whom he considered liberal sapheads, casuists, brain pinchers, men of small faith and less courage. A few days later, however, he had imperceptibly changed his point of view.Besides Frost's lucid and curmudgeonly critiques of American and Russian society in the midst of the Cold War, Reeve's memoir contains intimate portrayals of Russian poets such as Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Anna Akhmatova, as well as Frost's conversation with Khrushchev. Augmented by a new, retrospective introduction by the noted poet, scholar and translator, Reeve, the book also features endnotes to the events and people in the text.F.D. Reeve is the author of numerous books of translations, literary criticism, and original poetry, including Concrete Music, and most recently Moon and Other Failures. Reeve is a professor of Russian at Wesleyan University, and a recipient of the Golden Rose for lifelong poetic achievement.

Paperback. Condición: New. The poet and Talmud scholar examines Jewish texts, sexuality, and human vulnerability in poems that brim with wonder, sadness, sensuality, and humor.Kosman's second volume in English explores Jewish texts -Bible, Talmud, midrash - alongside bodies, physical desires, military experiences, even a refrige…rator. Demons and fantasy enter these poems; so do politics, so does God. These are not religious poems in a conventionally liturgical, "inspirational" sense; yet they point to the big questions that religion asks: about love, hate, desire, violence, transgression, disappointment.

Paperback. Condición: New. In these self-mocking poems - populated with youths and elders, cellphones and televisions - Jiang Tao presents and dissects a discontent with the state of the world. The complex use of metaphor highlights his profound wit and poetic mastery, building subtle layers of satire that act as commentary and…proposed remedy for society's flaws. But melancholy, nostalgia, dispassion, and the occasional lyricism also come into play as he explores the passage of time, city life, materialism, economic realities, and the difficulties of human communication and connection. Jiang Tao's verse is, as translator Josh Stenberg has written, "a quintessential expression of urban malaise in contemporary China.".
