War Bonds is a book of poems about survival in the face of conflict, from Iraq and Afghanistan, to #BlackLivesMatter, the war in Ambazonia and Cameroon, and gang violence in California's Central Valley. The book jumps back in time 100 years to the archive of a Chicago pianist and painter, Edna Cookingham, who worked with the YMCA in France to entertain the troops at the end of WWI. Her letters, telegrams, diary, photographs, and war papers serve as source material for these poems. While Europe may have experienced demobilization and a peace process in 1919, the echoes of that conflict continue to be felt around the world, binding us still. The book explores how we move forward - bound together - after conflict, violence, terror, or mass trauma.

This is a lovely little book, full of wisdom and inspiration. You will want to keep it by your bedside and give it to your friends.The author's journal follows her path toward healing after the loss of her husband, following a long and good marriage. She was suddenly alone and had to find a new way of living. Soon after the funeral, she began to have new insights that she wanted to express on paper. The first pieces reflect the period of early widowhood, the days of raw hurt and loss. Anyone who has lost a loved one will relate deeply to these passages. Next came a time to embrace living, to dwell in the moment, to enjoy life's small and large gifts. And the last words were written when she ventured to find a new partner.From time to time, she shared her writing with family and friends, and they encouraged her to publish, to communicate with a wider audience. Her engaging journey, expressed here, will offer enjoyment and insight.

Colección de versos intimistas y personales de diversos estilos que se alejan de lo clásico y de lo contemporáneo. Expresiones que se quedan ancladas en lo cotidiano y que a tod@s nos invade. Metáforas que denotan sentimientos de desapego, y retóricas vanas que no persuadirán a nadie, aunque es posible que te conmuevan.Una suerte de reflexiones. Toda una senda de palabrería extraña y desacertada que solo conduce a la decepción (o tal vez no). Decepción dentro de este mundo nuestro, dentro de este mundo incierto.

Continued is a selection of poems by Piotr Sommer, spanning his career to date. A kind of poetic utterance, these "talk poems" are devoid of any singsong quality yet faithfully preserve all the melodies and rhythms of colloquial speech. Events and objects of ordinary, everyday life are related and described by the speaker in a deliberately deadpan manner. Yet a closer look at the language he uses, with all its ironic inflections and subtle "intermeanings," reveals that the poem's "message" should be identified more with the way it is spoken than with what it says. The poems in this volume were translated into English with the help of other notable poets, writers, and translators, including John Ashbery, D.J. Enright, and Douglas Dunn.

In his thrillingly contemporary retelling of the world's oldest epic, award-winning poet Derrek Hines brings us as close as we may ever come to re-creating the power it had over its original listeners more than four thousand years ago in the ancient Near East.Gilgamesh, the semi-divine ruler of Uruk, is a larger-than-life bully and abuser of his people. In order to tame the arrogant king, the gods create the wild and handsome Enkidu. But after Enkidu and Gilgamesh become fast friends, they defy the gods in a series of outsized adventures that brings Gilgamesh face to face with both loss and death itself. Hines energizes this timeless tale with vivid and electrifyingly modern images, from the goddess Ishtar cracking the sound barrier, to a battlefield nightmare of spectral snipers and exploding hand grenades, to the CAT-scan image of a dying friend. The themes of love and friendship, grief, despair, and hope had their first great expression in this story, and this dazzling new interpretation brings us into its thrall again.

Everyone has an individual perception of what truth is. These works are representative of this writer's understanding of that entity.It is my hope that this collection will inspire the realization within each reader that the true wisdom in life is one's ability to believe in oneself.

An enchanting mix of English and Japanese, carnal and divine, sparkling banter and deep vulnerability, Dane Ince's and Mercedes' "Morning Tanka" distills volumes of intimacy into a series of short-form Tanka poems. Its central partners swap love notes, pillow talk, and deep confession, giving us a privileged glimpse of their inner lives and the "beautiful poetry [their] hearts write together."--Emily Cordes, author of "Armful of Poppies" and "Queen of Swords"A journal of thank you notes between lovers, California poems in the style of traditional Japanese form poetry In English and Japanese. In the tradition of the Beat poets, the writers practice the form of Japanese poetry that originated in the seventh century. Tanka poems are thirty-one syllables in five lines and more expansive than the three-line haiku, yet still the compression confines the poet to just the exact words to convey gratefulness for the blessings of love. The translations are by Yuri Miki a Japanese Slam poetry champion.A sensory buffet that tingles and teases the reader with its sheer visual impact. These exquisite tankas are intensely personal word paintings with striking and potent imagery. I was enraptured with the deftly woven skeins of nature, love, and desire. "Shimmer water kissing lips Like ships sinking into fog." The Japanese form of poetry that began in the seventh century is effectively carried forward in California today by Dane and Mercedes in these morning notes of gratitude and love. The metaphors are endearingly fresh, the passion palpable. These five-line tanka letters are conversational in tone even as they disarmingly bare body and soul. The fragrant sensuality rises above the wondrous awe that the poets feel for each other. A book to be kept close to your bed in order to savour its sheer genius.

Minsan sa tula natin mahahanap ang paglilinaw sa mga bagay, mga kasagutan sa tanong kung paano tayo nagiging kabahagi nito habang binabasa. Ang tula ay nasa kahit saan, hinihintay lang niya ang makata na kumuha ng sangkap at magtimpla upang mabuo ito. Nabuo ang librong ito dahil sa karanasan at mga kuwentong pinaniniwalaan ng bayan na ayon sa kasaysayan ay tama.Natagalan man sa pagluto ngayon ay buong pusong inihain ang bahagi ng kaisipan na inilapat sa piraso ng papel na kung saan ay may layang nagsasaysay tungkol sa mga kuwento ng buhay maging kuwento ng mga walang buhay, naging boses sa mga gustong magsalita na hindi nabigyan nang pagkakataon, naglahad ng mga 'di pansing kuwento ng sistema, ideyolohiya sa akala mong walang halagang bagay na kung makata ang tatanungin ay nagiging makabuluhan ito. Oo , alam ko na hindi madaling salain ang mga konsepto na nag-uunahan upang mailimbag sa katunayan minsan sa pagtulog gusto ko na may mapanaginipan na tema ng paksa na siguradong tatangkilikin ng lahat.Nais ng mga tulang nakapaloob dito na tapikin ang mga nagtutulug-tulugan at patulugin ang mga matagal nang nagpupuyat sa sistema, naniniwala ako na napakaraming kuwento sa kasaysayan na kayang buhayin at bigyang linaw ng mga tula, alay ito sa kanila.Kung may ilang bagay man ako na masabi na hindi katanggap-tanggap para sa iyo, itulad mo na lang ang librong ito sa mansanas na may bahaging bulok: hiwain ang bulok na bahagi, itapon at tsaka pakinabangan ang natira, sa parehong dahilan pilasin at basahin ang mapapakinabangan.Hawak mo ngayon ang kalipunan ng aking mga tula gaya nang sinabi ko sa paalala ng may-akda "buhayin mo sila."

'Through the noise of a world inundated by too much overwrought overwriting, too many clichés, too many lies, too many adjectives, Rory Harris's deceptively simple, short, imagistic poems ring like clear bells. They always have, but never so tellingly perhaps. Harris has always been concerned with exploring the minutiae of domestic and family love, but grief has given the most recent work an added emotional undertow. He has been one of my favourite poets for many years, a meditative companion for times to quote Keats - when my "eyeballs are vexed and tired", and the answer, then, is to "feast them upon the wideness of the sea" - in this case a a sea of small, but deep, poems.' - Peter Goldsworthy'...sparks of light and small arrows of distress knit together in such seemingly simple shapes.' - Jorie Ryan, Eureka Street'He has a respectful but concise and impartial approach to his characters and writing. The total effect is of attractive sympathy and profound talent in reserve.' - Jennifer Maiden, Sydney Morning Herald

A lonely art historian absorbed in her research seizes the opportunity to share in the joys and pleasures of the lives of a glittering couple, only to find her hopes of companionship and happiness shattered.

The Odyssey was originally composed in Homeric Greek around the 8th or 7th century BC and, by the mid-6th century BC, had become part of the Greek literary canon. In antiquity, Homer's authorship of the poem was not questioned. Still, contemporary scholarship predominantly assumes that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed independently and that the stories formed part of a long oral tradition. Given widespread illiteracy, the poem was performed by an aoidos or rhapsode and was more likely to be heard than read.Crucial themes in the poem include the ideas of nostos "return"), wandering, xenia ("guest-friendship"), testing, and omens. Scholars still reflect on the narrative significance of certain groups in the poem, such as women and slaves, who have a more prominent role in the epic than in many other works of ancient literature. This focus is especially remarkable when contrasted with the Iliad, which centers on the exploits of soldiers and kings during the Trojan War.The Odyssey is regarded as one of the most significant works of the Western canon. The first English translation of the Odyssey was in the 16th century. Adaptations and re-imaginings continue to be produced across a wide variety of media. In 2018, when BBC Culture polled experts worldwide to find literature's most enduring narrative, the Odyssey topped the list.

Næturverk / Nachwerk ist eine vielschichtige, tiefgründige Gedichtsammlung. In der für den Dichter charakteristischen Bildsprache fließen hier Momentaufnahmen des Alltags, poetische Verweise auf andere Schriftsteller und Mythen aus aller Welt in etwas Größeres, Universelles ineinander: z.B. den Ursprung und das Wesen des Menschen und die grundlegende Existenz der Sprache. In ungebundenen Gedichten wie auch in tagebuchartigen Prosaskizzen und traumähnlichen Sequenzen führt der Autor zusammen, was vermeintlich nicht zusammengehört. Das Überwinden von Grenzen beim Betrachten der Welt und ihrer Geheimnisse, dies ist das zentrale Ziel des Bandes, entsprechend dem ihm vorangestellten Zitat von Leonora Carrington: Die Aufgabe des rechten Auges ist es, in das Teleskop zu schauen, während das linke in das Mikroskop schaut.

Der zweite Gedichtband von Hung-min Krämer macht da weiter, wo ihr Debüt "Alles außer Haiku" 2019 aufgehört hat, also mittendrin. Mehr vom Gleichen also? Aber wie soll das gehen, wenn nichts mit sich selbst identisch bleibt und alles in Bewegung ist? Diese neuen Texte schauen durch die Ozonlöcher des Unbewussten in die Welt, und die Welt schaut zurück. Immer genauer justieren sie die Lage, doch die Lage ist das, was sich nicht justieren lassen will. Vor diesem Paradox kapituliert Hung-min Krämers Lyrik nicht, sondern findet neue Wege zwischen Gelassenheit und Revolte. Und sie bringt ihre Verbündeten mit: Komm Wind / streichle meine brennenden Augenlider / und trage den Mittag hinaus.
