Lletres en blanc i negre...
by Jordi Trallero i SobreviaCatarsi d´un supervivent... Aquest recull de poemes i fotografies va néixer, sense jo saber-ho, a mitjans del 2015 durant un periode que vaig estar ingressat a diferents hospitals psiquiàtrics fins mitjants de 2016. Un cop donat d´alta vaig continuar escrivint més continua i seriosament. Escriure aquests poemes i illustrar-los amb fotografies va pendre forma a finals del 2016 i principi del 2017. Aquest texte i aquestes imatges m´han ajudat a conèixer-me a mi mateix i han canviat la meva vida.
Llévame al Mar
by Mois Benarroch Aarón Lasanta VanhoutteghemUna colección de poemas de la última década, incluyendo traducciones del hebreo y español, además de poemas escritos en inglés por el reconocido poeta israelí Mois Benarroch. Entre el Rayo y el Trueno Entre el rayo y el trueno para cuando veo tu luz ya hay demasiado ruido. Aquí En estas calles el ángel que caminó antes que yo me ayudó a caminar evitando que cayera me salvó cuando tuve un accidente de coche en la cabeza cerca de la sinagoga sobre la cabeza del año aquí en estas calles tan vacías de mí lloré por primera vez sonreí por primera vez y desde aquí viajé a todas partes ahora he vuelto buscando la comprensión de las casas, las calles, las aceras, la gente. Si Me Ves por la Calle y no te saludo no creas que no quiero tu compañía o que intento hacerte daño si me ves por la calle y estoy pensando en otro poema en otras palabras que puedan por fin describir la línea del firmamento que se conecta entre mis piernas y la ciudad en la que nací un gran arco iris si me ves por la calle y no digo hola no es una declaración de guerra sino una mirada hacia el futuro. Arena me llevó veinte años aprender a llorar en hebreo entonces mis palabras se volvieron suaves como una roca cuyo secreto fue desvelado por la lluvia: estaba hecha de arena.

Lo que todas callan
by Irene G PuntoLo que todas callan es un poemario visceral y sensitivo sobre algo de lo que nunca se ha hablado en poesía: el posparto y el origen de los sentimientos maternales. Lo que todas callan es el resultado de mi encuentro con el amor, el dolor, el silencio y la supervivencia convertido en versos dispuestos a poner luz a muchos tabúes que, como mujer y como madre, me bebí sin sed. La RAE dice que el posparto es el periodo que transcurre desde el parto hasta que la mujer vuelve al estado ordinario anterior a la gestación. Pero para mí esta definición es inexacta y vengo con un puñado de poemas para enriquecerla. Reseñas:«Este libro es una reconciliación, pero también es volver a abrir unas heridas que no sanarán del todo nunca. Afortunadamente. Unas cicatrices hechas poema que me dicen que yo también estuve ahí, en ese lugar del que nadie me había hablado.»Zahara «Irene G Punto ha cogido un margeny lo ha hecho suyo. Hablo del margen de la maternidad en general, y del margen del posparto en particular. Pocas veces se había escrito así sobre un momento de la vida del cuerpo de quien fue madre en el que todo pueden ser sombras iluminadas por unas leves y diminutas luces.»Luna Miguel «Hay dos formas de ser original y merecer ser oído: decir lo que nadie sabe o lo que muchos ocultan. Este libro tiene el valor de hacer lo segundo, porque abre una ventana de la maternidad que estaba condenada y por la que ahora entra el sol y la luz, pero también el frío. Sus poemas los ha escrito Irene G Punto, pero los firmarían Anne Sexton o Sylvia Plath.»Benjamín Prado
A Loaded Gun
by Jerome Charyn"Remarkable insight . . . [a] unique meditation/investigation. . . . Jerome Charyn the unpredictable, elusive, and enigmatic is a natural match for Emily Dickinson, the quintessence of these." -Joyce Carol Oates, author of Wild Nights! and The Lost LandscapeWe think we know Emily Dickinson: the Belle of Amherst, virginal, reclusive, and possibly mad. But in A Loaded Gun, Jerome Charyn introduces us to a different Emily Dickinson: the fierce, brilliant, and sexually charged poet who wrote: My Life had stood-a Loaded Gun-...Though I than He- may longer liveHe longer must-than I-For I have but the power to kill,Without-the power to die-Through interviews with contemporary scholars, close readings of Dickinson's correspondence and handwritten manuscripts, and a suggestive, newly discovered photograph that is purported to show Dickinson with her lover, Charyn's literary sleuthing reveals the great poet in ways that have only been hinted at previously: as a woman who was deeply philosophical, intensely engaged with the world, attracted to members of both sexes, and able to write poetry that disturbs and delights us today.Jerome Charyn is the author of, most recently, Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories, I Am Abraham: A Novel of Lincoln and the Civil War, and The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson: A Novel. He lives in New York.

Local Visitations: Poems
by Stephen DunnWise and searching new poems from the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. In his twelfth collection, his first since winning the Pulitzer Prize, Stephen Dunn turns his keen gaze on Sisyphus, our contemporary Everyman. Free, for the time being, from the power of the gods and the ceaseless weight of the rock, he struggles to navigate twenty-first-century America. In language by turns mordant and tender, often elegiac, Dunn illuminates the quotidian burdens of his all-too-human hero, as well as the abrasions of ambivalence and choice, finally concluding that "here / and there, though mostly here, even fate is reversible / with struggle or luck." In a second sequence of poems, nineteenth-century novelists become "local visitors" to the author's South Jersey towns. "Chekhov in Port Republic," "Jane Austen in Egg Harbor," "Dostoyevsky in Wildwood": these inventions and others give Dunn provocative new latitudes. As in his previous books, "he balances the casual and the vivid as he plumbs the ambiguity and mystery of human relations" (New York Times Book Review).
The Local World: Poems
by Mira RosenthalMira Rosenthal's The Local World incorporates deeply lived experience and mystery in a fluent shape-shifting that can take you anywhere--and bring you back, changed. The poems are beautifully crafted narratives of loss, travel, and salvage. There is a damaged family at the heart of these poems, an abandoned farm, and many rooms, parks, and train cars in far places. Yet, like all really good poems, Rosenthal's language consistently rises above its cries to wonder and beauty. What a joy to find this stunning first book to award the Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize.
Locomotion (New Windmill Ser.)
by Jacqueline WoodsonFinalist for the National Book AwardWhen Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. And he misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys-not foster boys that ain't babies." But Lonnie hasn't given up. His foster mother, Miss Edna, is growing on him. She's already raised two sons and she seems to know what makes them tick. And his teacher, Ms. Marcus, is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper.Told entirely through Lonnie's poetry, we see his heartbreak over his lost family, his thoughtful perspective on the world around him, and most of all his love for Lili and his determination to one day put at least half of their family back together. Jacqueline Woodson's poignant story of love, loss, and hope is lyrically written and enormously accessible.
The Logan Notebooks (Mountain West Poetry Series #7)
by Rebecca LindenbergPublished by the Center for Literary Publishing at Colorado State University Mountain West Poetry Series “These poems are intent on calling out the migratory beauty of this world, in a neighbor-voice: friendly, from the yard nearby, pointing out stuff we might not have noticed. They frequently employ that most ancient of forms, the list, to show us what we shine a light on, what we look past, what we reflect, what we miss. In that way, they speak like the meadowlark who says, See you! See you! These poems are for when we shall no longer fear the ecstatic, because we’ll know that ecstasy too is quotidian, as daily as a meadowlark’s shopping list.” —Eleni Sikelianos “In her second collection, Rebecca Lindenberg turns her scrutiny to the American West without forgetting the many layers of sediment and memory there and in other elsewheres. From grocery stores in Utah to a synagogue in Rome to cloud-gazing everywhere, in poems at turns laconic and lush, wistful and wry, Lindenberg shows how beauty and absurdity can and will persist—even, or especially—in the loss of our multiple loves and multiple selves.” —Tarfia Faizullah “Recursive and elliptical, the poems in Rebecca Lindenberg’s The Logan Notebooks are as difficult to depict as they are to forget. Like clouds (themselves, so omnipresent and imperative that Lindenberg confronts them on the first page), these poems shift, then settle into shape, then shift once again. More usual iterations of poetry give way to paragraphs of unimpeachable prose, itemized narratives in which whole, epic plots are cached. Lists run left to right as if they actually listed, like boats off-ballast or stand-alone willows in windstorms. Catalogues are first climactic then cathartic. What she does not write, she has somehow written. Aphorisms become offerings. Almost every line is a sutra. If ‘anyone who feels they have to lie’ is a thing that has lost its power, then Rebecca Lindenberg need not worry. Neither these poems nor the poet who conceives them flinches at gut-punch truth.” —Jill Alexander Essbaum “The American West, in its mythical and real-time complexity, is ‘itched out of reverie’ and ‘brought into the deep groove of the present’ in Rebecca Lindenberg’s The Logan Notebooks. The grotesquerie of capitalism hangs in the background, sometimes the foreground, but her lines don’t flinch as they ‘attend to these/details that might later/divert you.’ Above all this is a book about relationships—to a beloved, a family, a landscape, a country, and language itself. ‘Somewhere between the sayable and the unsayable,’ Lindenberg’s poems startle life from a fractured world. The Logan Notebooks is a balm and an anomaly.” —Joseph Massey Clouds, mountains, flowering trees. Difficult things. Things lost by being photographed. Things that have lost their power. Things found in a rural grocery store. These are some of the lists, poems, prose poems, and lyric anecdotes compiled in The Logan Notebooks, a remix and a reimagining of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, a collection of intimate and imaginative observations about place—a real place, an interior landscape—and identity, at the intersection of the human with the world, and the language we have (and do not yet have) for perceiving it.

Logotherapy (African Poetry Book)
by Mukoma Wa NgugiWritten as a tribute to family, place, and bodily awareness, Mukoma Wa Ngugi’s poems speak of love, war, violence, language, immigration, and exile. From a baby girl’s penchant for her parents’ keys to a warrior’s hunt for words, Wa Ngugi’s poems move back and forth between the personal and the political. In the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, the biting winds of Boston, and the heat of Nairobi, Wa Ngugi is always mindful of his physical experience of the environment. Ultimately it is among multiple homes, nations, and identities that he finds an uneasy peace.
Lok Kavi Shahir Ramjoshi: लोककवी शाहीर रामजोशी

The Lonely Ones
by Kelsey SuttonWhen your only friend is your own endless imagination, how do you escape your mind and connect to the world around you? With parents too busy to pay her attention, an older brother and sister who would rather spend their time with friends, and peers who oscillate between picking on her and simply ignoring her, it's no wonder that Fain spends most of her time in a world of her own making. During the day, Fain takes solace in crafting her own fantastical adventures in writing, but in the darkness of night, these adventures come to life as Fain lives and breathes alongside a legion of imaginary creatures. Whether floating through space or under the sea, climbing mountains or traipsing through forests, Fain becomes queen beyond--and in spite of--the walls of her bedroom.In time, Fain begins to see possibilities and friendships emerge in her day-to-day reality . . . yet when she is let down by the one relationship she thought she could trust, Fain must decide: remain queen of the imaginary creatures, or risk the pain that comes with opening herself up to the fragile connections that exist only in the real world? Told in breathless and visual verse, THE LONELY ONES takes readers through the intricate inner workings of a girl who struggles to navigate isolation and finds friendship where she least expects it. Praise for The Lonely Ones:* "Spare and poignant, every word of this haunting and elegant novel in verse feels painstakingly selected....Fain's story is simply a brilliantly crafted coming-of-age novel that will appeal to the hearts and minds of all readers who have ever felt alone."--Kirkus Reviews *STARRED REVIEW*"The lyrical free verse style moves the narrative swiftly along....Gorgeous writing distinguishes this short, but not shallow, read."--School Library Journal "This novel in free verse is exactly what a poetic novel should be...an immersive novel, like any good tale in which readers can take any individual poem and examine it in depth for word use, rhythm, and meaning."--VOYAFrom the Hardcover edition.
The Lonely Tower: Studies in the Poetry of W. B. Yeats (Routledge Revivals)
by Thomas Rice HennFirst published in 1965, this reissue of the second edition of T. R. Henn’s seminal study offers an impressive breadth and depth of meditations on the poetry of W. B. Yeats. His life and influences are discussed at length, from the impact of the Irish Rebellion upon his youth, to his training as a painter, to the influence of folklore, occultism and Indian philosophy on his work. Henn seeks out the many elements of Yeats’ famously complex personality, as well as analysing the dominant symbols of his work, and their ramifications.
