  • af Katharine Whitcomb
    187,95 kr.

    Habitats, Katharine Whitcomb's robust new collection, is her best yet-a field guide to the pleasures and perils of adulthood, a reckoning with what is and what will never be. Moving through disappointment and joy, divorce and remarriage, the death of parents and a stare down with her own allotted time on Earth, Whitcomb seeks out or stumbles into rooms of reflection, landscapes that enlarge us, gardens and clearings where "lean and stubborn devotions" take root. These lush and rugged poems are alive to the "tug of memory / awake in everything," those habitats of geography and mind that clarify and define what is most important-belonging to ourselves. "Not young or uncomplicated or down-to-earth," Whitcomb is both realist and dreamer, uncovering the "mercy in each minute of the sense's deft erasure." Niche by niche, line by line, she "persists in loving the world," finding wherever she looks a certain hard-won grace, not wanting to be "anyone or anywhere else." Habitats is many worlds at once-a marvelous journey into the powers of ordinary witness and a testament of the courage to change.

  • af Azura Tyabji
    177,95 kr.

  • af Sierra Nelson
    242,95 kr.

    Sierra Nelson's poems are hypotheses of the evanescent world - its evaporations and evasions, its silences and speeches. "All ears, all eyes, all senses at attention," Nelson examines the tenuous tentacles that connect humans, plants, and animals, that tether us to the past - detailing the surreptitiousness of joy, the necessity of loss, how a body is changed by everything it encounters. Line by line The Lachrymose Report reveals how language, like feeling, originates deep in every cell, even as the wonder of these poems unfolds on an evolutionary scale.

  • af Bitaniya Giday
    167,95 kr.

    The sixth collection in the Seattle Youth Poet Laureate Series, Motherland is a breathtaking exploration of womanhood and blackness framed by family, immigration, and history. Giday blends lyric and experimentation to bring her experiences as a first-generation Ethiopian American to life and asks insightful, difficult questions about how we all experience the world. Her combination of traditional storytelling and contemporary influence infuses her poems with a conscious power wielded to invoke the reader''s reflection, consideration, and awareness.
