Lisa olstein (175 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Lisa Olstein's third collection reverberates with twinned realities: wonder and terror, beauty and difficulty, celebration and lament.

Intimate lyrics, elegies, and narratives speak in voices familiar yet strange. Lisa Olstein's debut collection of poetry, Radio Crackling, Radio Gone (Copper Canyon Press, 2006), won the Hayden Carruth Award, and her second volume, Lost Alphabet (Copper Canyon Press, 2009), was named a "Best Poetry Book of the Year" by Library Journal.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "This timely yet elemental collection unfolds where the exigencies and distractions of daily life brush up against the political, the ethical, and the existential." --Publishers Weekly "Olstein here meditates on a world gone awry, limning in precise, beautifully modulated language both personal dislocation and the slings and arrows visited upon the community at large." --Library Journal> "Brilliant and provocative." --The Literary Review "In Late Empire,the poet throws herself into a disturbing discussion about 21st-century realities, pinpointing, questioning, and exhorting. It's a riveting picture of the micro, day-to-day busy-ness against the macro, overshadowing struggle of existential survival." --Rain Taxi> In her fourth book―a gorgeous call-to-arms in the face of our current social and political conditions―Lisa Olstein employs her signature wit, wordplay, candor, and absurdity in poems that are her most personal―and political―to date. Like a brilliant dinner conversation that ranges from animated discussions of politics, philosophy, and religion to intimate considerations of motherhood, friendship, and eros, Olstein's voice is immediately approachable yet uncomfortably at home in the American empire. Lisa Olstein is the author of four poetry collections and a book-length lyric essay. She is a member of the poetry faculty at the University of Texas at Austin where she teaches in the Michener Center for Writers and New Writers Project MFA programs.…

Navigating the edges where things begin to disappear, the poems inhabit border zones of transformation where memory slides into imagination, wakefulness meets sleep, and things possessed become lost. What seemed a mystery wasin fact a choice. Insert bird for sorrow.What seemed a memory was in facta dividing line. Insert bird for wind.Insert wind for departure when everyone is standing still. . . Radio Crackling, Radio Gone was selected from the 1,200 submissions to the Hayden Carruth Award. By the time the anonymous manuscript was chosen as winner, the cover sheet was filled with readers' commentary: "stunning" and "lovely" and a bold "YES!".…
