Ellington Was Not a Street
by Ntozake Shange Kadir Nelson<p>In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater. <p>Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls and others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped issue in a movement that "changed the world." Their lives and their works inspire us to this day, and serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow.</p>

Elogio del insomnio
by Alberto Ruy SánchezUna mezcla de autobiografía, crónica, poesía y relato del autor Alberto Ruy Sánchez. Por Alberto Ruy Sánchez, reconocido como Oficial de la Orden de las Artes y de las Letras por el gobierno de Francia y autor de La mano del fuego. El insomne, abandonándose a la deriva como un viejo y el mar de estos días, o estas noches, navega al azar las corrientes de la madrugada que más bien lo navegan a él. Cada oleada embravecida se convierte en una aventura, un relato, una imagen que viene de muy lejos en el tiempo o en la geografía. Y él lo atrapa y nos lo cuenta cada vez como si fuera el último trozo flotante que lo salva. Porque este insomne goza sus insomnios. En medio de la obscuridad, cada insomnio es felicidad luminosa, la luz que se vuelve el ámbito donde el inmenso placer de contar y escuchar historias toma existencia. Con cinco novelas sobre un mundo que celebra el erotismo, en cuyo centro se encuentra la ciudad de Mogador, Alberto Ruy Sánchez tiene tras de sí una trayectoria vital diversa y sorprendente, algunos de cuyos episodios cuenta en esta obra, compuesta de ingredientes como la autobiografía, la crónica, la poesía y el relato verdadero de las ficciones que se viven. Lo que ha dicho la crítica: "Todas las personas que han pasado la noche en vela por un dolor de muelas o una decepción amorosa tienen la obligación de incluir en su botiquín un libro: Elogio del insomnio." -Xavier Velasco. "Alberto Ruy Sánchez, valiéndose no sólo de un subgénero literario llámese ensayo, autobiografía, cuento, crónica, sino la mezcla de los anteriores, conpoemas que escucha, recuerda, fotografías de sus viajes y con una claridad en el lenguaje en Elogio del insomnio, nos transfiere su baraka, el conocimiento, sus historias, su infancia y sus momentos de insomnio". -Alan Saint Martin, Revista de la Universidad (UNAM).

Els dies que m'habiten
by Gemma HumetLa cantant Gemma Humet recull en aquest llibre textos i poemes introspectius que parlen d'amor i de desamor, d'inquietuds vitals, d'empoderament femení i sobre la seva condició de dona i mare. «Des que era prou gran per saber escriure, però prou petita per no saber ben bé què volia dir "habitar-me", m'asseia, de nit, al balcó minúscul de la meva habitació, amb un coixí sobre la falda i, al damunt, una llibreta. Escrivia. Escrivia el que pensava, el que em passava, idees, possibles cançons, emocions, contradiccions... Escriure em feia lliure. Em feia volar. De mica en mica, em vaig adonar que tot allò que apuntava en aquells fulls, sovint de manera desordenada, em conformava i m'estructurava els pensaments. I mai no he deixat de fer-ho. Tinc caixes i calaixos i més caixes plens de llibretes que expliquen qui soc i com soc, i, sobretot, per què soc com soc.» A Els dies que m'habiten, Humet recull textos i poemes introspectius, il·lustrats per la Sara Serra, que ens mostren la seva faceta més íntima i propera.

Emergent Poetics: Ecological Sites in Contemporary Poetry (Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics)
by Travis W. MattesonThis book proposes the term 'emergent poetics' to synthesize two divergent strands in contemporary literary media theory - the media archaeology of material inscriptions and the systems view of media ecology, which considers media as complex nodes of exchange. Emergent poetics emphasizes the speculative, non-prosthetic quality of media: the anthrodecentric perspective that media do not simply extend human senses, but instead consist of properties that exceed human apprehension. This study builds on Eve Kosofky Sedgwick’s theory of reparative reading, contemporary media theory, and Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory, which are united in their skepticism regarding the paranoid “unveiling” gesture of institutional critique, their emphasis on methodology rather than theoretical ideology, and their insistence on assembling rather than deconstructing. In response to these three trends, this project begins by attending to what Jerome McGann calls the bibliographic code (material forms), while simultaneously expanding this medium specific perspective by situating written works within their broader media ecosystems, tracing interactions among media, humans, and nonhumans.
Emerson and Neo-Confucianism
by Yoshio TakanashiA comparative investigation of Emerson's Transcendental thought and Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, this book shows how both thinkers traced the human morality to the same source in the ultimately moral nature of the universe and developed theories of the interrelation of universal law and the human mind.
Emerson: Poems
by Ralph Waldo EmersonRalph Waldo Emerson is one of the best-loved figures in nineteenth-century American literature. Though he earned his central place in our culture as an essayist and philosopher, since his death his reputation as a poet has grown as well.Known for challenging traditional thought and for his faith in the individual, Emerson was the chief spokesman for the Transcendentalist movement. His poems speak to his most passionately held belief: that external authority should be disregarded in favor of one's own experience. From the embattled farmers who "fired the shot heard round the world" in the stirring "Concord Hymn," to the flower in "The Rhodora," whose existence demonstrates "that if eyes were made for seeing, / Then Beauty is its own excuse for being," Emerson celebrates the existence of the sublime in the human and in nature. Combining intensity of feeling with his famous idealism, Emerson's poems reveal a moving, more intimate side of the man revered as the Sage of Concord.

Emily Bronte: A Life in 20 Poems
by Nick HollandEmily Jane Brontë was born in July 1818; along with her sisters Charlotte and Anne, she is famed as a member of the greatest literary family of all time, and helped turn Haworth into a place of literary pilgrimage. Whilst Emily Brontë wrote only one novel, the mysterious and universally acclaimed Wuthering Heights, she is widely acknowledged as the best poet of the Brontë sisters – indeed as one of the greatest female poets of all time. Her poems offer insights to her relationships with her family, religion, nature, the world of work, and the shadowy and visionary powers that increasingly dominated her life.Taking twenty of her most revealing poems, Nick Holland creates a unifying impression of Emily Brontë, revealing how this terribly shy young woman could create such wild and powerful writing, and why she turned her back on the outside world for one that existed only in her own mind.
Emily Dickinson
by Linda Wagner-MartinNow published in paperback for the first time, this literary biography study offers a comprehensive account of Emily Dickinson's life, as a poet as well as a daughter of a prominent Amherst, Massachusetts, family. For many years accompanied by her large dog, she well knew the worlds of nature and natural beauties. For many more years, she chronicled her life - especially her life of the imagination - in hundreds of letters, as well as the nearly 1,800 poems that have been found. Such rich material informs this book's narrative, building a picture of a woman loyal to her parents and her myriad of friends, as well as siblings, niece and nephews, and her sister-in-law Susan Gilbert Dickinson, her constant muse. Never content with passive acceptance, or a life that conformed to the dutiful unmarried daughter's role, Dickinson the poet worked all her mature life to bring her art to its consistently firm - and always brilliant - greatness.

Emily Dickinson and Philosophy
by Jed Deppman Marianne Noble Gary Lee Stonum Jed Deppman Marianne NobleEmily Dickinson's poetry is deeply philosophical. Recognizing that conventional language limited her thought and writing, Dickinson created new poetic forms to pursue the moral and intellectual issues that mattered most to her. This collection situates Dickinson within the rapidly evolving intellectual culture of her time and explores the degree to which her groundbreaking poetry anticipated trends in twentieth-century thought. Essays aim to clarify the ideas at stake in Dickinson's poems by reading them in the context of one or more relevant philosophers, including near-contemporaries such as Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Hegel, and later philosophers whose methods are implied in her poetry, including Levinas, Sartre and Heidegger. The Dickinson who emerges is a curious, open-minded interpreter of how human beings make sense of the world – one for whom poetry is a component of a lifelong philosophical project.
Emily Dickinson and the Religious Imagination
by Linda FreedmanDickinson knew the Bible well. She was profoundly aware of Christian theology and she was writing at a time when comparative religion was extremely popular. This book is the first to consider Dickinson's religious imagery outside the dynamic of her personal faith and doubt. It argues that religious myths and symbols, from the sun-god to the open tomb, are essential to understanding the similetic movement of Dickinson's poetry - the reach for a comparable, though not identical, experience in the struggles and wrongs of Abraham, Jacob and Moses, and the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Linda Freedman situates the poet within the context of American typology, interprets her alongside contemporary and modern theology and makes important connections to Shakespeare and the British Romantics. Dickinson emerges as a deeply troubled thinker who needs to be understood within both religious and Romantic traditions.
Emily Dickinson in Context
by Eliza RichardsLong untouched by contemporary events, ideas, and environments, Emily Dickinson's writings have been the subject of intense historical research in recent years. This volume of thirty-three essays by leading scholars offers a comprehensive introduction to the contexts most important for the study of Dickinson's writings. While providing an overview of their topic, the essays also present groundbreaking research and original arguments, treating the poet's local environments; literary influences; social, cultural, political, and intellectual contexts; and reception. A resource for scholars and students of American literature and poetry in English, the collection is an indispensable contribution to the study not only of Dickinson's writings but also of the contexts for poetic production and circulation more generally in the nineteenth-century United States.
