Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Fearless hybridization. Jordan creates spaces where physics and poetry, comic books and jazz, memory and loss, come together. -- American Prospect This ambitious collection explores the intersection of the infinite world of physics with the perplexities of the human condition. Employing both narrative and cinematic structure, Jordan re-creates the lives of Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, and comic book superheroes -- the Green Lantern, the Atom -- and also reveals himself in poems of recollection and loss.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Tula: a ruined Toltec capital; a Russian city known for its accordions; Tagalog for ?poem.? Prismatic, startling, rich with meaning yet sparely composed, Chris Santiago?s debut collection of poems?selected by A. Van Jordan as the winner of the 2016 Lindquist & Vennum Prize for Poetry?begins with one word and transforms it, in a dazzling sleight of hand, into a multivalent symbol for the immigrant experience. Tula: Santiago reveals to readers a distant land devastated by war. Tula: its music beckons in rhythms, time signatures, and lullabies. Tula: can the poem, he seems to ask, build an imaginative bridge back to a family lost to geography, history, and a forgotten language? Inspired by the experiences of the second-generation immigrant who does not fully acquire the language of his parents, Tula paints the portrait of a mythic homeland that is part ghostly underworld, part unknowable paradise. Language splinters. Impossible islands form an archipelago across its landscape. A mother sings lullabies and a father works the graveyard shift in Saint Paul?while in the Philippines, two dissident uncles and a grandfather send messages and telegrams from the afterlife. Deeply ambitious, a collection that examines the shortcomings and possibilities of both language and poetry themselves, Tula introduces a major new literary talent.…
