Cómo leer y escribir poesía / El arte de perdurar
by Hugo Hiriart«Hiriart es nuestro gran ingenio y cualquier literatura mayor lo tendría, como lo tenemos nosotros, entre sus glorias vivas. Es didáctico, es mayéutico, es el antimaestro ante el Altísimo, además de ser persona sobria y especulador intransigente, disperso y mordaz.» Christopher Domínguez Michael Además de ser un magnífico poeta, narrador y dramaturgo, Hugo Hiriart fue un prolífico ensayista. Este segundo volumen de su biblioteca en Debolsillo incluye las obras El arte de perdurar, una serie de ensayos en los que el autor reflexiona en torno a la valía de una obra y la tan fluctuante posteridad, y Cómo leer y escribir poesía, una especie de manual introductorio al arte poética que reúne a clásicos y contemporáneos a través de ejemplos que ilustran la riqueza de nuestro idioma.
DADDY
by Jake ByrneFeatured on Quill & Quire's Fall PreviewIf you reloop trauma enough, does it make a danceable rhythm? If you get lost in physical sensation enough, does that make you free?DADDY is a powerful look at patriarchy, intergenerational trauma, and queer desire that seeks an unravelling of systems of control to reclaim vulnerability. At once confessional, playful, and sonically meticulous, Byrne's poems seek conversation with a voice in the mind that won't quiet. Cruel father figures dissolve into leather-clad muscle daddies on popper-scented dancefloors; the pain of the past sows the seeds of a joyful exploration of queer desire.
DMZ Colony
by Don Mee ChoiWoven from poems, prose, photographs, and drawings, Don Mee Choi's DMZ Colony is a tour de force of personal and political reckoning set over eight acts. Evincing the power of translation as a poetic device to navigate historical and linguistic borders, it explores Edward Said's notion of "the intertwined and overlapping histories" in regards to South Korea and the United States through innovative deployments of voice, story, and poetics. Like its sister book, Hardly War, it holds history accountable, its very presence a resistance to empire and a hope in humankind.
DOWN
by Sarah Dowling"I have tremendous respect for any poet who strives to be even half as great as Sarah Dowling."--CAConradDisorientation and defamiliarization yank fresh feeling from banal sentences. Down takes junk language--with cameos by Frank O'Hara, Frank Ocean, Aaliyah, and the Temptations--and flattens it until we're living in the same environment. How can we carve private spaces from discarded publics?Sarah Dowling is the author of Security Posture and Birds & Bees. Sarah's poetry was included in the anthology I'll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women. She teaches at the University of Washington Bothell and is international editor at Jacket2.

Daddy and Me
by Tim BurkeHow often is it that we take the time to stop and listen to what our children have to say or are trying to tell us in their actions and behaviour? These poems came about as result of time I spent with my son, playing with him, imagining with him, talking to him, and listening to him. I hope that they also touch the hearts of all parents and children who can recognise a little bit of themselves in the narration.
Daddy, Papa, and Me

Daffodil: And Other Poems
by Vincent KatzStopping time on the page to discover the poetic moment where past and present are one, Vincent Katz (called a poet of &“vibrant cinematic hunger&” by Eileen Myles) opens himself to the fleeting beauty of both culture and nature in this stunning gathering of new work.With his painterly eye and disarming concision on the page, Katz opens this book with a powerful image of &“all time sequestered in the fold of a daffodil,&” setting the stage for an encounter with the immediacy we must embrace to see the world around us with clarity. At the center of this collection are his captivating poems about animals—&“The hope in fear / In thrill to run&” of the rabbit, the snapping turtle &“nestled // Next to brother rock&”—as the poems continually engage with the heady passage of days and years, and the promise to honor a life in the here and now, to walk the street with the sense that, &“It&’s not about buying / But rather about feeling the air.&”&“Whether in nature, or on a crowded or empty city street, was all a dream?&” Katz writes, considering Daffodil. &“Surely, there was and is still someone close, and that continues, as animals, despite war, despite incursions, continue. New York is a place of return, where we&’re aware of faces and other things; there, or in a field of flowers, in places in the distant past and present, love has some inexorable way of continuing.&”These poems evoke the exact scenes that command our daily thoughts, that usher in grace and beauty, with their quietly urgent moral qualities, which, Katz suggests, can shape our days if we allow them to.
Dailies & Rushes: Poems
by Susan KinsolvingThe passion, playfulness, and regret in these wonderful poems will make many women think this book was written just for them.” Susan Cheever Susan Kinsolving’s poems skate with a dark elegance on the thin ice between the upper air and a deepening sorrow, between the day’s figures and memory’s pattern. But she’s headed towards love: the distant shore, the beckoning warmth; and by the end of Dailies & Rushes she has gotten herself and, to our delight and gratitude, brought us as welltriumphantly there.” J. D. McClatchy What rings with authenticity in Susan Kinsolving’s poems is a lovely severity. . . . Sorrow and courage and pleasure register themselves in lucid distillations, like the purities of winter air.”Anthony Hecht Things just are,’ Susan Kinsolving writes, in a matter-of-fact tone that belies a fiery intensity. In her poetry, commonplace things are imbued with a magical aura. Her wry wit clarifies as it deepens a tragic vision.” Grace Schulman In her first major collection Susan Kinsolving shows herself to be a poet of ravenous amplitudes, of wit schooled by feeling, of observations had owed by memory, and of landscape rising to what she calls an oblique sublimity’ which is also the hallmark of her art.” Edward Hirsch

Daisy-Head Mayzie
by Dr SeussShe sat at her desk Figuring her sums. When out of her head came ??? Chrysanthemums? Not chrysanthemums, you say? Not tulips or lilies? A daisy, of course. Now, aren't we the sillies!

This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.
Dammtor
by James SheardDammtor is the old city gate and now the centre of ground transport for the great port of Hamburg. In James Sheard's second collection it is a 'station for midnights, hitched up on stone legs, hollow with sunken light' - a hub for the damaged and deracinated. These precise, wounded poems draw the reader through this desolate landscape - through sexual longing, sexual violence, bereavement and the beginning of hope through the birth of a son.Dammtor restlessly narrates the condition of maleness, looking for truth and music in a voice which is both urgent and unadorned. The poems are spoken in solitary places - late-night stations, hotel lobbies, car rides and empty woodland - but they are addressed to the living, the missing, the dead and the just-born. Personal and political narratives leak into the spaces of the poems to form a strange light which has something of the hallucinatory clarity of translations. The voice might be by turn elegaic, vicious, obsessive or bewildered as it explores its topic, but it is accompanied by an eye which will not - or, perhaps, cannot - blink. Finding tenderness amid brutality, Dammtor is a highly accomplished and remarkable collection.

Dancing Room Only
by Jim ReeseDancing Room Only is a wild romp into the forgotten center of our people. With his signature rollicking style, a keen sense of humor, and an acute ear for dialect and voice, Reese archives the sinners and saints that haunt the Midwest and beyond. Author Kent Meyers writes of Reese's work: "In these poems, ordinary life with its children and neighbors crackles like a mirage, and shifts and opens, and we find we've been all along in San Quentin prison. What is it we just saw?-a five-year-old child swinging on the monkey bars, or a tattooed convict, crying? Reese's eye is the eye of a father, and he finds his world both alien and comforting. These are poems of praise and poems of warning, infused with love and latent violence. Reese makes us feel the threat throbbing inside the song." In Dancing Room Only: New and Selected Poems Reese is a well-traveled troubadour with Midwestern sensibility, and as the author of three widely-praised books of poetry, he knows how to blow our hearts sideways.

by Margaret RandallThis is the most recent poetry collection of this internationally celebrated socialist and feminist author. Covering the first five years after her return from over twenty years abroad, in Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua, these poems describe Randall battling threats of deportation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, waking from the nightmare of childhood incest, emerging as a lesbian, and continuing her feminist support of worldwide socialism in politically troubled times. Margaret Randall divides her time between her home in Albuquerque and lecture tours across the country.
Dandarians: Poems
by Lee Ann RoripaughHailed by Ishmael Reed as &“one of our brightest talents,&” Lee Ann Roripaugh&’s fourth collection of poems maps the illusory and ephemeral connection between identities and language.Based on sources as diverse as Heian-period Japanese women writers and the world of science fiction, and drawing on her own experience as a second-generation Japanese American, Dandarians explores a series of &“word betrayals&”—English words misunderstood in transmission from her Japanese mother that came to take on symbolic ramifications in her early years. Co-opting and repurposing the language of knowledge and of misunderstanding, and dialoguing in original ways with notions of diaspora and hybrid identities, these poems demonstrate the many ways we attempt to be understood, culminating in an experience of aural awe.At once wonderfully lyrical and strikingly acute, Dandarians will further establish Lee Ann Roripaugh as one of the most important and original voices in contemporary Asian American literature.
Dandelion
by Gabbie HannaFrom brilliant spins on children's rhymes to gut-punching mic-drops of truth to darkly funny dispatches from Rock Bottom, Gabbie&’s poems are a front-row seat to the sideshow that is her mind: her fears, insecurities, and the battles she wages with herself and the universe on a daily basis that serve as cathartic mirrors to our own. Dandelion is for people looking to feel less alone, to laugh at the absurdity of being human, and to imagine that something beautiful can come of all this pain. Cry alone no more.
Danger on Peaks: Poems
by Gary Snyder<P>We are proud to continue our project of publishing Deluxe Audio Editions of the poems of Gary Snyder, read by him. <P>When first published in 2004, it was the poet's first new collection of poems in twenty years. Perhaps his most personal, autobiographical collection, it begins with the young poet ascending Mt. St. Helens in 1945, a climb accidentally timed with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was 15 years old. Almost sixty years later, after the great Buddhas at Bamiyan Valley were bombed and with the victims of the World Trade Center also "turned to dust," the poet composed a prayer while at Short Grass Temple in Senso-ji, a pilgrim on the path of Kannon, Goddess of Mercy. <P>This remarkable collection was greeted with broad praise, and as Julia Martin proclaimed, "Moving between relative and absolute ways of seeing, [Snyder] responds to the experience of global conflict and personal pain by reminding readers of the continuity of wildness, affirming the value of art, and invoking an ancient practice of wisdom and compassion."
