Divide and Rule
by Walid BitarIn Divide and Rule, Walid Bitar delivers a sequence of dramatic monologues, variations on the theme of power, each in rhymed quatrains. Though the pieces grow out of Bitar's personal experiences over the last decade, both in North America and the Middle East, he is not primarily a confessional writer. His work might be called cubist, the perspectives constantly shifting, point followed by counterpoint, subtle phrase by savage outburst. Bitar's enigmatic speakers are partially rational creatures, have some need to explain, and may succeed in partially explaining, but, in the end, communication and subterfuge are inseparable - must, so to speak, co-exist.
Divina Comedia. Infierno: Primera Parte: Infierno (Illustrated By Dore Ser. #No. 49)
by Dante AlighieriNueva edición bilingüe del Infierno, con introducción general, prólogo, traducción y notas del poeta español Jorge Gimeno En el Infierno, primero de los tres volúmenes que componen la Divina Comedia, Dante relata su viaje al inframundo desde el encuentro fortuito con su guía, el poeta latino Virgilio, hasta el avistamiento de Lucifer en el fondo del abismo. Viaje simbólico por el alma humana, su recorrido es un inolvidable catálogo de los pecadores que merecen la pena eterna según la escatología medieval. Pero su visión poética trasciende también el tiempo y, con sus horrores, alumbra la edad moderna que en parte ayudó a crear. La presente edición, a cargo del poeta españo Jorge Gimeno, incluye el texto original, una soberbia traducción en endecasílabos, una introducción general, un prólogo y un iluminador aparato de notas.
Divina Comedia. Paraíso (edición bilingüe)
by Dante AlighieriNueva edición bilingüe del Paraíso, con prólogo, traducción y notas del poeta español Jorge Gimeno En el Paraíso, último volumen y culminación necesaria de la Comedia, Dante asciende a los cielos y consigue lo impensable: alcanzar el Empíreo, el no lugar y no tiempo de la presencia divina, para regresar a la tierra y contarlo. El sentido último del libro no es otro que místico, y los versos finales del poema se resuelven en la divinidad. Pero Dante se eleva en esta cántica también hasta la más alta expresión de su poesía, un estilo sacro, elevado, inimitable e irremplazable, que resume su destino literario. La presente edición, a cargo del poeta español Jorge Gimeno, incluye el texto original, una soberbia traducción en endecasílabos, un prólogo y un iluminador aparato de notas.
Divina Comedia. Pugatorio (Illustrated By Dore Ser.)
by Dante AlighieriNueva edición bilingüe del Purgatorio, con introducción general, prólogo, traducción y notas del poeta español Jorge Gimeno El Purgatorio es la cántica del cambio, el paso de Dante por el reino en que las almas, mediante sus padecimientos y la oración de los vivos, conquistan la salvación que ya han obtenido. Pero no menos importante es el aprendizaje del poeta, que amplía su conocimiento de la realidad verdadera a través de las revelaciones del camino. Tras un viaje entre lo velado y lo desvelado, lo que es y lo que no es, Dante se reencontrará con Beatriz y se dirigirá de su mano al bien supremo, un poco más dueño de su destino. La presente edición, a cargo del poeta español Jorge Gimeno, incluye el texto original, una soberbia traducción en endecasílabos, un prólogo y un iluminador aparato de notas.

Divina Is Divina: Poems
by Jack WilerIn this posthumous collection, attention is paid to the present moment. Wiler examines, with humor, compassion and fearlessness, the pleasures in life--especially the varieties of love--from friendship to sex--and how we are capable of ruining those pleasures for ourselves or for others.

Divine Comedy: Three New Works
by John Kinsella"One of the most original and poignantly authentic poets writing in English."--Harold Bloom A three-part, epic work challenging our notions about the environment by Australia's preeminent poet of the natural world. Consisting of Purgatorio: Up Close, Paradiso: Rupture, and Inferno: Leisure Centre, John Kinsella's "distractions" on Dante's Divine Comedy journey through time and space.

Divine Honors (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Hilda RazWinner of the Nebraska Book Award for Poetry (2002)This elegant and moving collection documents Hilda Raz's experience with breast cancer. The journey, from diagnosis to chemotherapy to mastectomy, from denial to humor to grief and rage, is ultimately one of courage and creativity. The poems themselves are accessible and finely wrought. They are equally testaments to Raz's insistence on making an order out of chaos, of finding ways to create and understand and eventually accept new definitions of good and evil, health, blame, personal boundaries — in short, a new sense of self. These poems remain intimately bound to the world and of the senses, becoming documents of transformation.

Divine Nothingness: Poems
by Gerald SternFrom the National Book Award-winning author of This Time, a new volume of poems that explore the very nature of existence. Divine Nothingness is a meditative reflection on the poet's past and an elegy to love and the experience of the senses in the face of mortality. From the Jersey side of the Delaware River in Lambertville, Gerald Stern explores questions about who and why we are, locating nothingness in the divine and the divine in nothingness. From "What Brings Me Here?" Here I am again and what brings me here to the same wooden bench preaching to the city of Lambertville surrounded by mayapples? For who in the hell is going to lie down with whom in the hell, either inside or outside?
Divine Ratios: Poems
by Jacqueline OsherowThe reach of Divine Ratios is global, ranging from Tang Dynasty China and the Florentine Renaissance to contemporary Baltimore, post–World War II Berlin, and the landscapes of the Mountain West. The speed and mobility evoked in this new collection by Jacqueline Osherow are not only physical—a traveler’s movement in a crowded, thrilling world—but imaginative, and its poetic idiom is no less varied, as a breezy conversational tone serves as a counterpoint to traditional form. With striking juxtapositions of natural and cultural wonders, this enrapturing volume asks, what is the right proportion—or “ratio”—for living in a world of such splendors, horrors, and possibilities?

by Adrienne RichIn her seventh volume of poetry, Adrienne Rich searches to reclaim--to discover--what has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored.<P><P> "I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words are maps. / I came to see the damage that was done / and the treasures that prevail." These provocative poems move with the power of Rich's distinctive voice. <P> Winner of the National Book Award
Division Street
by Helen Mort*SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S ELIOT PRIZE AND COSTA POETRY AWARD 2013*'A stone is lobbed in '84, hangs like a star over Orgreave. Welcome to Sheffield. Border-land,our town of miracles...' - 'Scab'From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born.
Diwata
by Barbara Jane ReyesTagalog is a language spoken by twenty-two million people in the Philippines. Diwata is a Tagalog term meaning "muse." Diwata is also a term for a mythical being who resides in nature, and who human communities must acknowledge, respect, and appease in order to live harmoniously in this world.In her book Diwata, Barbara Jane Reyes frames her poems between the Book of Genesis creation story and the Tagalog creation myth, placing her work somewhere culturally between both traditions. Also setting the tone for her poems is the death and large shadow cast by her grandfather, a World War II veteran and Bataan Death March survivor, who has passed onto her the responsibility of remembering. Reyes' voice is grounded in her community's traditions and histories, despite war and geographical dislocation.From "Estuary 2":She was born with fins and fishtail,A quick blade slicing water.She was her father's mermaid child,A river demon, elders said.She mimicked her cetaceous brothers,Abalone diving bluest depths.She polished smooth her brothers' masks,Inlaid nacre half moon eyes.She lit oak pyres and bade the windA whispered requiem.Barbara Jane Reyes is author of two previous poetry collections including Poeta en San Francisco, which was awarded the 2005 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. She was born in Manila and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She works as adjunct professor in Philippine studies at the University of San Francisco.From National Book Critics Circle:"Diwata as a mythological invocation takes teh reader back to pre-colonial Philippines when the belief in these god and goddesses shaped the everyday lives on the Southeast Asian archipelago. They have now become your muses as you reach toward this cultural legacy to shape a distinct postmodern poetics in which yo u don't simply erase colonial history- you build with that narrative as well."
