Another Reason
by Carl DennisFrom the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ruth Lilly Prize The poems in Carl Dennis’s new collection Another Reason assume that our efforts to reason with ourselves and with others about what matters to us are necessary to escape the purely private point of view, to provide the houses we live in with doors and windows. These poems enact a drama of attempted persuasion, as the poet confers with himself, with intimates, and with strangers, if only in the hope that by defining differences more precisely one may be drawn into a genuine dialogue. As the poet asserts and questions his own authority, encountering a wide range of competing claims from other voices, we find ourselves included in a conversation that deepens our notion of the human community. .
Another Way to Play: Poems 1960-2017
by Michael Lally Eileen MylesThe collected works of a poet who bridges the rhythms and message of the beats, the disarming frankness of the New York School, and the fierce temerity of activist authors throughout the ages.From a '60s-era verse letter to John Coltrane to a 2017 examination of Life After Trump, Another Way to Play collects more than a half century of engaged, accessible, and deeply felt poetry from a writer both iconoclastic and embedded in the American tradition. In the vein of William Carlos Williams and Frank O'Hara, Lally eschews formality in favor of a colloquial idiom that pops straight from the page into the reader's synapses. This is the definitive collection of verse from a poet who has been around the world and back again: verse from the streets, from the the political arena, from Hollywood, from the depths of the underground, and from everywhere in between. Lally is not a poet of any one school or style, but a poet of his own inner promptings; whether casual, impassioned, or ironic, his words are unmistakably his own. Here is a poet who can hold two opposed ideas in mind simultaneously, and fuse them, with pathos and humor, into his own idiosyncratic verbal art. As Lally himself writes: "I suffered, I starved, and so did my kids, / I did what I did for poetry I thought /and I never sold out, and even when I did / nobody bought."

Anteparaíso
by Raúl ZuritaVersión definitiva de un libro fundamental de Raúl Zurita, una obra una cumbre de la poesía en lengua castellana. Cuando Anteparaíso se publicó originalmente en 1982 supuso el arribo a cimas y el descenso a abismos impensados para la poesía en lengua castellana. Esta edición, que al cabo de cuarenta años el autor presenta en su “versión final”, revela cómo toda su alucinada energía, su violencia y su belleza desgarradas siguen no solo intactas, sino multiplicadas en los paisajes y amores, en los sueños y cielos que pueblan sus páginas.

Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien
by Valentina RomanettiComo si el final no estuviera escrito, como si fuera la última vez, Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien es mi declaración de amor. Soy Alba Pariente Bueno, nací en Rueda (Valladolid), tengo veintidós años y muchos sueños por cumplir. Estudio Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas, y la vida me ha traído a Madrid. Cuando era pequeña jugaba en el Parque Los Poetas. ¿Casualidad? No lo sé. Con nueve años escribí mis primeros poemas, y en plena adolescencia la vida me volvió a conducir a la poesía. Así nació Valentina Romanetti, mi voz silenciosa, pero la que más grita. Valentina es la valentía de Alba, y Romanetti es una bonita manera de decir que aun estando en ruinas, como Roma, puedes ser preciosa. Y esa valentía se transformó en las páginas de Vorágine, mi primer libro. Ahora, en Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien, amaremos como si el final no estuviera escrito, como si fuera la última vez que el corazón nos deja hacerlo.
antes que isla es volcán / before island is volcano: poemas / poems (Raised Voices #2)
by Roque Raquel Salas RiveraGold Medal Winner of the Juan Felipe Herrera Award for Bilingual PoetryFrom the National Book Award-nominated, Lambda Award-winning poet: a powerful, inventive new collection that looks to the future of Puerto Rico with love, rage, beauty, and hopeRaquel Salas Rivera&’s star has risen swiftly in the poetry world, and this, his 6th book, promises to cement his status as one of the most important poets working today. In sharp, crystalline verses, written in both Spanish and English versions, antes que isla es volcán daringly imagines a decolonial Puerto Rico.Salas Rivera unfurls series after series of poems that build in intensity: one that casts Puerto Rico as the island of Caliban in Shakespeare&’s The Tempest, another that imagines a multiverse of possibilities for Puerto Rico&’s fate, a 3rd in which the poet demands his right to a future and its immediate distribution. The verses are rigorous and sophisticated, engaging with literary and political theory, yet are also hard-hitting, charismatic, and quotable (&“won&’t you be sorry? / won&’t you wish you had a boss? / won&’t you get restless / with all that freedom?&”).These poems tap unflinchingly into the explosive energy of the island, transforming it into protest, into spirit, into art.
Anthem
by Helen HumphreysWinner of the 2000 Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry and shortlisted for the 2000 Pat Lowther Award and the 2001 Milton Acorn Memorial People’s Poetry Prize Physical and fiercely lyric, Helen Humphreys' Anthem is a litany of want. A song of poverty and of desire, of the reach forward and the relentless backward glance. With stark images and subtle, tensile strength, her poems touch that rare interval between presence and absence, echo and answer, between wall and window and sky -- that gap in which we live, the space words make.

Anthology of Modern Indian Poetry (1950-2010)
by Vasdev MohiA positive element evident in today’s poetry is creative use of language. There are many examples of new combinations, new constructions, touching, picturesque expressions, and unique examples of personification which have not found place in the earlier Sindhi poetry. The language used by poets in their poetry is such that it has become a part of its nervous system. Due to this factor creation appears to be breathing. It does not mean that in early poetry the creative language was not used but during that period the language was used only as a vehicle of expression, like a garment to create an effect and make it attractive. In contrast to this, today the language is used in such a manner that even slight pinch on a cell would damage the entire nervous system of the poetry. The language, being in itself a potent vehicle of manifestation, has now discarded the figures of speech, considered as ‘ornaments’ of the language earlier. Today’s creation does not depend on adornments. Today words of poetry are not signifiers, but are signified; they do not ‘state’, but ‘convey’ what is to be said. During progressive period the emphasis was on ‘what’ is said and in the post modernist poetry accent is on ‘how’ it is said. … Sindhi poetry is a continuous creative process in which with the passage of time much is cast off, much is brought in, and this goes on unabated.
An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry
by Wes DavisNever before has there been a single-volume anthology of modern Irish poetry so significant and groundbreaking as An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry. Collected here is a comprehensive representation of Irish poetic achievement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from poets such as Austin Clarke and Samuel Beckett who were writing while Yeats and Joyce were still living; to those who came of age in the turbulent '60s as sectarian violence escalated, including Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley; to a new generation of Irish writers, represented by such diverse, interesting voices as David Wheatley (born 1970) and Sinéad Morrissey (born 1972). Scholar and editor Wes Davis has chosen work by more than fifty leading modern and contemporary Irish poets. Each poet is represented by a generous number of poems (there are nearly 800 poems in the anthology). The editor's selection includes work by world-renowned poets, including a couple of Nobel Prize winners, as well as work by poets whose careers may be less well known to the general public; by poets writing in English; and by several working in the Irish language (Gaelic selections appear in translation). Accompanying the selections are a general introduction that provides a historical overview, informative short essays on each poet, and helpful notes--all prepared by the editor.

An Anthology of the New England Poetry from Colonial Times to the Present Day
by Louis UntermeyerThis is a magnificent collection of poetry. The editor features the famous along with such lesser-known poets as Edward Taylor, Jones Very, William Ellery Channing II, Frederick Goddard Tuckerman and Anne Bradstreet, the first female (and Puritan) poet to be published. Introductory comments are interesting. "Here Cain and Abel come to sacrifice; Fruits of the Earth and Fatlings each do bring: On Abel's gift the fire descends from Skies, But no such sign on false Cain's offering. With sudden hateful looks he goes his ways, Hath thousand thoughts to end his brothers days, Upon whose blood his future good he hopes to raise. Who fancies not his looks now at the Bar ? His face like death, his heart with horror fraught. No Malefactor ever felt like war When deep despair with wish of life hath fought. Branded with guilt and crusht with treble woes, A Vagabond to Land of Nod he goes; ..." (Bradstreet) "

by Tom BristowThis book takes the work of three contemporary poets-John Burnside, John Kinsella and Alice Oswald-to reveal how an environmental poetics of place is of significant relevance for the Anthropocene: a geological marker asking us to think radically of the human as one part of the more-than-human world.
Anthropocene Poetics: Deep Time, Sacrifice Zones, and Extinction (Posthumanities #50)
by David FarrierHow poetry can help us think about and live in the Anthropocene by reframing our intimate relationship with geological time The Anthropocene describes how humanity has radically intruded into deep time, the vast timescales that shape the Earth system and all life-forms that it supports. The challenge it poses—how to live in our present moment alongside deep pasts and futures—brings into sharp focus the importance of grasping the nature of our intimate relationship with geological time. In Anthropocene Poetics, David Farrier shows how contemporary poetry by Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus Heaney, Evelyn Reilly, and Christian Bök, among others, provides us with frameworks for thinking about this uncanny sense of time.Looking at a diverse array of lyric and avant-garde poetry from three interrelated perspectives—the Anthropocene and the &“material turn&” in environmental philosophy; the Plantationocene and the role of global capitalism in environmental crisis; and the emergence of multispecies ethics and extinction studies—Farrier rethinks the environmental humanities from a literary critical perspective. Anthropocene Poetics puts a concern with deep time at the center, defining a new poetics for thinking through humanity&’s role as geological agents, the devastation caused by resource extraction, and the looming extinction crisis.
