Cutting the Wire: Photographs and Poetry from the US-Mexico Border
by Ray Gonzalez Bruce Berman Welsh LawrenceCutting the Wire, a masterful collaboration between photographer Bruce Berman and poets Ray Gonzalez and Lawrence Welsh, offers us a way to look again, to really look, at the border between Mexico and the United States. Berman, who has photographed and lived in El Paso for decades, is a documentarian who uses his camera to record what&’s in front of him rather than for, as he puts it, &“mere self-expression.&” Berman&’s visual investigations of the everyday realities of the border—detention centers, smeltertown cemeteries, kids playing along a river levee, descanso crosses on telephone poles for the disappeared—are exactly the stuff the poetry of Gonzalez and Welsh is made of. The multilayered histories of the border landscape provide an inexhaustible supply of rich and fertile raw material for both Gonzalez and Welsh. But their poetic visions allow them to capture elements of a personal and collective past that historians have often failed to record.

Dialectical Imaginaries: Materialist Approaches to U.S. Latino/a Literature in the Age of Neoliberalism (Class : Culture)
by Carlos Gallego Marcial GonzalezDialectical Imaginaries brings together essays that analyze the effects of class conflict and capitalist ideology on contemporary works of U.S. Latino/a literature. The editors argue that recent global events have compelled contemporary scholars to reexamine traditional interpretive models that center on identity politics and an ethics of multiculturalism. The volume seeks to demonstrate that materialist methodologies have a greater critical reach than other methods, and that Latino/a literary criticism should be more attuned to interpretive approaches that draw on Marxism and other globalizing social theories. The contributors analyze a wide range of literary works in fiction, poetry, drama, and memoir by writers including Rudolfo Anaya, Gloria Anzaldúa, Daniel Borzutzky, Angie Cruz, Sergio de la Pava, Mónica de la Torre, Sergio Elizondo, Juan Felipe Herrera, Rolando Hinojosa, Quiara Alegría Hudes, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Óscar Martínez, Cherríe Moraga, Urayoán Noel, Emma Pérez, Pedro Pietri, Miguel Piñero, Ernesto Quiñónez, Ronald Ruiz, Hector Tobar, Rodrigo Toscano, Alfredo Véa, Helena María Viramontes, and others.
Dickinson's Nerves, Frost's Woods: Poetry in the Shadow of the Past
by William LoganIn Dickinson’s Nerves, Frost’s Woods, William Logan, the noted and often controversial critic of contemporary poetry, returns to some of the greatest poems in English literature. He reveals what we may not have seen before and what his critical eye can do with what he loves. In essays that pair different poems—“Ozymandias,” “On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer,” “In a Station of the Metro,” “The Red Wheelbarrow,” “After great pain, a formal feeling comes,” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” among others—Logan reconciles history and poetry to provide new ways of reading poets ranging from Shakespeare and Shelley to Lowell and Heaney.In these striking essays, Logan presents the poetry of the past through the lens of the past, attempting to bring poems back to the world in which they were made. Logan’s criticism is informed by the material culture of that world, whether postal deliveries in Regency London, the Métro lighting in 1911 Paris, or the wheelbarrows used in 1923. Deeper knowledge of the poet’s daily existence lets us read old poems afresh, providing a new way of understanding poems now encrusted with commentary. Logan shows that criticism cannot just root blindly among the words of the poem but must live partly in a lost world, in the shadow of the poet’s life and the shadow of the age.

Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution
by David AustinSince the 1970s, poet Linton Kwesi Johnson has been putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Auden’s claim that “poetry makes nothing happen.” For Johnson, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, writing has always been “a political act” and poetry “a cultural weapon.” In Dread Poetry and Freedom David Austin explores the themes of poetry, political consciousness, and social transformation through the prism of Johnson’s work. Drawing from the Bible, reggae and Rastafari, and surrealism, socialism, and feminism, and in dialogue with Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon, C.L.R. James and Walter Rodney, W.E.B. Du Bois and the poetry of d’bi young anitafrika, Johnson’s work becomes a crucial point of reflection on the meaning of freedom in this masterful and rich study.
Dreampad
by Jeff LatosikA hopeful, timely new collection of poems that take up our ever-evolving relationship with technology.Starting from an urge to reconcile the human need for stability with what's happening in a constantly fluid "now," Dreampad, Trillium Book Award for Poetry winner poet Jeff Latosik's startling new collection, ponders whether an ideal for living is viable when we're not sure we can say yes or no to anything in a world that's growing increasingly ephemeral and entangled with the virtual.These poems, however, are a salvo--or "protest" in the most useful sense of that word--a reminder we might already own a verbal architecture to express the difficulty of being alive in a world that can, could, and might still even be humane, loving, habitable.
Dresses from the Old Country (American Poets Continuum #168)
by Laura ReadIn Laura Read’s second poetry collection, the former poet laureate of Spokane, WA, weaves past and present together to create a portrait of a life in progress. As the speaker looks back on her life, she exists simultaneously as all the selves she has ever been: a lost child, a lonely adolescent, a teacher, a daughter, a friend, a wife, a mother—a woman continually shaped and reshaped by memory and experience. Deeply rooted in a particular time and place, Read’s poems strip away the illusion of the passage of time as they reveal how we are all wearing “dresses from the old country.”

Earthling: Poems
by James LongenbachA National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Earthling confronts our deepest fears in clear and haunting language, from "a poet of extraordinary gifts" (American Academy of Arts and Letters). "Earthling" is one of the oldest words in the English language, our original word for ploughman, a keeper of the earth. In poems simultaneously ordinary and otherworldly, James Longenbach traces the life of a modern-day earthling as he looks squarely at his little patch of earth and at the vast emptiness of interstellar space. Beginning with the death of the earthling’s mother and ending with a confrontation with his own mortality, the poems within Earthling resist complaint or agitation. In them, the real and the imagined, the material and the allegorical, intersect at shifting angles and provide fresh perspectives and lasting consolation.
Ecstatic Émigré: An Ethics of Practice
by Claudia KeelanMost think of an émigré as one who leaves her native land to find home in another. Claudia Keelan, in essays both personal and critical, enlists poetic company for her journey, engaging both canonical and common figures, from Gertrude Stein to a prophetic Las Vegas cab driver named Caesar. Mapping her own peripatetic evolution in poetry and her nomadic life, she also engages with Christian and Buddhist doctrines on the virtues of dispossession. ? Ecstatic Émigré pays homage to poets from Thoreau and Whitman to Alice Notley, all of whom share a commitment to living and writing in the moment. Keelan asks the same questions about the growth of flowers or the meaning of bioluminescence as she does about the poetics of John Cage or George Oppen. Her originality is grounded by the ways in which she connects poetic principles with the spiritual concepts of via negativa demonstrated both in St. John of the Cross and Mahayana Buddhism. In addition, her essays demonstrate an activist spirit and share a commitment to the passive resistance demonstrated in Martin Luther King, Jr.’s concept of the “beloved community” and philosopher Simone Weil’s dedication to “exile.”
El amor es chulo
by Stephaniè AndugarLa poesía y la reflexión feminista se unen en estas páginas para gritar alto y claro «NO» al machismo disfrazado de amor: los mitos del amor romántico. Mitos que solo sirven para perpetuar la desigualdad y naturalizar la violencia: Amor-sufrimiento, Amor-dependencia, Amor-fusión, Amor-posesión... ¿¿Amor?? No es amor cuando te dice que te quiere solo para él. No es amor cuando hay celos. No es amor si te tiene que completar. No es amor si te aparta de las personas que quieres y de lo que te hace sentir bien. No es amor si es sacrificio o renuncia. No es amor si pierdes tu esencia. No es amor si duele. El amor, el de verdad, no entiende de sexos ni peldaños ni jaulas, no tiene que ser difícil ni tampoco lo único, no te hace sentir pequeña. Para conjugar el verbo amar en plural, primero hay que saber hacerlo en singular y desprenderse de todo aquello que nos encadena. Que el amor valga toda tu alegría y no tu pena,porque el amor es chulo. El amor es chulo, el proyecto que une la nueva poesía y el feminismo y que pretende derribar los falsos mitos del amor romántico. Han cedido sus textos e ilustraciones para este libro:Ane Santiago, Marga Cordero, Irene G Punto, Davile Matellán, Mina Ilustraciones, Miguel Gane, Grace Klimt, Antonio Carreño, Silenzio, Carlos Salem, Teresa Mateo, Victoria Ash, Diego Ojeda, Sourires, Nekane González, Pablo Arribas, Ana Pérez Cañamares, Patricia Benito, Selam Wearing, Nerea Delgado, Acto Paulson, Luiso García, Pedro Andreu, Ulises Kaufman, María Vera, Señorita Bebi, Tres Voltes Rebel, Martaeme, Ana Elena Pena, Titxu Vélez, Lae Sánchez, Juana La Coja y Versales.
El tiempo, el azar y las mujeres

El tiempo, el azar y las mujeres no es una manera de mostrar el espejo de lo incomprensible. <P><P>Se abre paso por la vida de todos. En él habitan historias que cobran identidad entre sus páginas. Escribir es una forma de liberar y ser libre. Es dejar de ser uno para convertirse en todos. Este libro de poemas es solo un viaje a través del tiempo, el azar y las mujeres.
