Description
The miniature poems that comprise Go On, Ethel Rackin's second collection, constitute distilled moments in time that paradoxically extend our field of concentration and vision. Focusing on various kinds of survival-personal, political, environmental-Go On asks what it means to endure in unsure times. By turns collaged, diaristic, and panoramic, the poems that make up this collection combine to form a kind of crazy-quilt of lyric association and connection....

Description
An understanding of the nature of consciousness reveals itself to be more elusive the longer one tries to approach it. The closer we get, the more vivid the confusion is. And this is the case regarding not only our handle on consciousness, but also the one we have on identity and even on reality itself, both of which depend upon consciousness-and all three of which, ultimately, prove more malleable than we might care to admit. They can be, and are...

6) Spine: Poems

English
Description
Sometimes an echoing or answering poem, sometimes a second voice, the "ghost text" in Spine mimics and examines the difficulty of processing information from multiple sources at once. The distraction that accompanies reading ruptures the experience of these poems. Too much and too little co-exist here: the challenges of living in rural areas that technological advances have left behind throw into relief the disorienting speed with which the world...

Like many younger Korean poets, SHIM BO-SEON writes in an allusive, indirect style about topics that are in themselves familiar, eating rice, taking off clothes, living in an apartment block, struggling with human relationships. He captures some sparkling moments of joys and sorrows, hopes and frustrations that have been concealed in daily life in rather modest and witty words. The circular movements of concealment and revelation of the mystery that...

THE PRISON POEMS is the first complete translation into English of Miguel Hernández's Cancionero y romancero de ausencias, a classic of 20th century Spanish poetry, comparable in many respects to the work of Lorca and Pablo Neruda. The poems in this book were mostly written, while he was in prison after the defeat of Republican Spain.

Description
BLOOD ORBITS is a series of poems and prose poems exploring various conceptualizations of history both as a generative principle of meaning and as particular contexts and events through which we shape our subjectivities. In language that is richly musical and startlingly surreal, these poems interrogate and confront narratives that encode oppression, violence, and dishonesty, both the "grand narratives" which structure our place in history as well...

With Canticle of the Night Path, Jennifer Atkinson sets in motion a deeply compelling sequence of praise songs. Whether their origins are remote in time or close to hand, the objects of her praise become intricately connected as each is illuminated in turn--by electric light, by candle-light, by lightning. She models a patient attention that gives way to sudden insights and the reader is transported by the clarity and music of her forms. -Susan Stewart,...

Description
An album of lavish residuals, Erros is a "somewhat song... in the last of the light, the disassembling light." Schuldt's rich play with language is always aware-painfully aware, erotically aware-of its mortal stakes. These are the poems Hopkins would have written were Hopkins a skeleton, a faint web of salt on a dirty stone, a "nakeshift," a "sakesbelieve." And with Hopkins's sense of humor, too: such delight in the final turning of a phrase, a body,...
