Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Balaban's emotional range is impressively wide and deeply human--by turns compassionate and angry, somber and humorous, earnest and ironic. His voice is strong; his poems are important."--Harvard Review Guided by an acute moral urgency, Path, Crooked Path opens on Highway 61 and keeps moving across America and throughout the world. Juxtaposing his experiences in eastern Europe and southeast Asia against contemporary life in the United States, Balaban illuminates the humor and hypocrisy that often percolates when individuals are thrust into the mix of cultures. Whether driving past Bush's Texas ranch, sitting at a café in Vietnam, or trading swigs of vodka with a Bulgarian exile, his poems look beyond the personal to help make sense of an often chaotic world. From "The Great Fugue" .I am playing The Grosse Fugue, hearing the faded voices of those good people who did not want to see me falter, but took me in, schooling me in an intertwining of spirits that like music can fill a room, that is a great fugue weaving through us and joining generations in charged, exquisite music that we long to hear. John Balaban is the author of a dozen books of poetry, prose, and Vietnamese translations whose accolades include two National Book Award nominations, the Lamont Award, and the William Carlos Williams Award. His translation Spring Essence: The Poetry of Ho Xuan Huong was featured on NPR's Fresh Air. Balaban teaches at North Carolina State University and lives in Raleigh.…

She explores what we have lost and how we transform and adapt.--Dr. Jennifer Lagier, Author of Camille Comes Unglued and Dystopia Playlist.---Mary Anne Anderson's poems ignite an imagery of new normal forced upon us by the relentless pandemic as it permeates our lives, unmasking issues of unequal justice, police brutality and systemic racism while showing how the human spirit and social courage attempt to adapt to new normal.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "This is the first bilingual collection by the Mexican master of nature poems, D'Aquino.A necessary read for fans of Hart Crane, Jack Spicer, and Latin American poetry in translation."--Booklist "Alfonso D'Aquino was raised by his grandmother in an old house attached to a colonial convent in Coyoacán, Mexico. Books were his best friends from an early age. Often solitary, he spent many afternoons at a small aquarium in the nearby town of San Ángel, fascinated then as now by the non-human."--Forrest Gander, from the introduction fungus skull eye wing is a book of shifting subjectivity and liquid perspective, of surrealist tradition and Butoh-like gestures. The text flirts with the margins of the "rational," perception, and the subjective mind. The speaker morphs into what he observes; speech comes alive while a plant becomes speech.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "The News is more than a venture into art by someone prominent in another field. In these poems, an unconventional subject for poetry is dealt with from within, by a real poet."--Robert Pinsky As a nationally recognized correspondent and anchor for the PBS NewsHour, Jeffrey Brown has reported on important events around the world. In his debut poetry collection, The News, he re-imagines and re-tells his experiences through poems that explore stories he's covered, places he's gone, people he's met, the thrills and doubts of his profession, as well as the profound intimacy of family. In these pages we hear the narratives of artists, inmates, cadets, and survivors of the world's tragedies, as Brown conveys both suffering and triumph with a music that pays tribute to the multitude of human voices, opening his own life and expression for public viewing. Full of self-examination, brave honesty, and wry humor, The News captures not what's on one side of the lens but all that surrounds it. In his introduction to the book, former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky writes, "Jeffrey Brown in this book apprehends some specific realities: the news as a medium and the news that is the medium's object. Brown's poetry examines that material in a new way, giving it a fresh, urgent form.By honoring the human voice, Jeffrey Brown has brought a remarkable, fresh kind of attention to these questions of identity and presence, delusion and awareness--in the specific realm of television news and in life itself." "Brown's experiences before the relentless eye of the camera and within the churn and pressure of the perpetual news cycle as an Emmy Award-winning journalist and chief arts and culture correspondent for PBS' NewsHour shapes his strikingly forthright poems. Brown's directness is professional in origin, but he is keenly aware of and haunted by what's missing from the news, which is why he seeks 'another angle' in poetry."--Booklist Haiti: Kacite We, who lie, who cannot say-- for there is no good way to put this-- we are here to show the horror of your life. In Kacite they passed out purification tablets displayed with pride their new latrine. A woman sweeping her dusty steps-- asked to act naturally for the camera to act as though we're not here-- more honest and aware than us, replied: How can I pretend that you are not here? Was that not you who spoke just now? Jeffrey Brown is the chief correspondent for arts, culture, and society at PBS NewsHour. His work has taken him all over the world as he searches for the connections between news and poetry. He is the creator and host of "Art Beat," which is NewsHour's online arts and culture blog. As a producer and correspondent, his work has earned him an Emmy the Cine Golden Eagle. He lives in Washington, DC. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Shortlisted for the 2013 Best Translated Book Awards. "Dimkovska pins readers to the wall with rapid-fire linguistic energy."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "[Dimkovsaka has the] stunning capacity to transform the ridiculous into something poignant and utterly precise."--Boston Review From the intersection of boundaries, Macedonian poet and novelist Lidija Dimkovska scrutinizes life's customary and trivial details to expose the consequences--both confusing and edifying--of living in an age of contradictory ethics.
