Grief Poetry

Sämtliche Gedichte von Egon Schiele – lernen Sie die andere Seite des Genies kennen. Die kurzen Skizzen, meist einfache Sätze mit starker Suggestionskraft, kreieren eine Atmosphäre des Malerischen. Verstärkt wird dieser Eindruck durch die häufige und gezielte Verwendung von Farbadjektiven. Wenn Schiele schreibt, trennt er sich nicht von der Malerei, er versucht – im Gegenteil – seine Worte „rollrundschwarzglänzend“, „zittergün“ oder „rot“ anzumalen.

A stunning collection of poems that John Updike wrote during the last seven years of his life. The opening sequence, "Endpoint", is made up of a series of connected poems written on the occasions of his recent birthdays and culminates in his confrontation with his final illness. He looks back on the boy that he was, on the family, the small town, the people, and the circumstances that fed his love of writing, and he finds endless delight and solace in "turning the oddities of life into words".

Los poemas de este libro tienen que ver directamente con el amor, no como un pretexto sino como la materia central del poema. Son escenas interiores o exteriores, donde están presentes la ciudad, la naturaleza, el viaje, la fotografía y la pintura. El amor a veces está acompañado del erotismo, el humor, la infancia y la violencia que vive nuestro país. Por supuesto, el desamor y el duelo también tienen cabida, como la otra cara de la moneda.

This is the worst book of poetry ever written.

Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes, in the first powerfully elegiac section, a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the US border with Mexico. The poems of the third section - a moving transcription of Gander’s efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer’s - rise like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation.

James Brown. John Brown's raid. Brown v. the Topeka Board of Ed. The prize-winning author of Blue Laws meditates on all things "brown" in this powerful new collection.

In But & Though, Jake Hawkey scrutinizes the impact of parental addiction on families, its title a nod to the language of dependency, its circles of prevarication and excuse. Hawkey’s poems chart the loss of a father and the resilient love between siblings, and take an unflinching look at a parent–child relationship sometimes painfully inverted through alcoholism.

This is the story of a dark night of the soul, of traversing the depths of despair, and of rebirth. It shows the reality of hitting rock bottom. Not by a self-reported narrative written after the fact, but through unfiltered poetic expression written in real time during breakdown and recovery.

They show the inner tumult and turmoil of a man desperately trying, and failing, to hold together the crumbling status quo of his prior existence.

“Il libro della follia” è la prima traduzione integrale in italiano di "The Book of Folly", che Anne Sexton diede alle stampe nel 1972. Lo stile confessionale che aveva reso celebre l’autrice, fruttandole nel 1967 il premio Pulitzer, giunge qui alla piena maturità trasformandosi nell’allegoria di un Gran Teatro psichedelico. La Signora Benestante che scrive occasionalmente versi rispettando le forme metriche lascia il posto, definitivamente e consapevolmente, al personaggio della Poetessa Martire della società benpensante e all’aspirante suicida, in un rovesciamento parodico dei valori patriarcali.
