Beschreibung

· Ben Lerner is the wunderkind of American poetry · Copper Canyon published his first book in 2004 through the Hayden Carruth Award, and we could hardly wait to publish his second book · When we published Lerner’s first book, he was the youngest poet Copper Canyon ever published… as we prepare to publish his second book, he continues to be the youngest poet we’ve ever published. · most of the poems were written while Lerner was living in Madrid on a Fulbright, and many were composed after the Atocha bombings and its political aftermath—and from someone steeping themselves in writings about Franco and fascism · The book constitutes an extended, elegant meditation on the commercialization of public space and speech. · It is an investigation of the ways that technologies of viewing—aerial photography in particular—replace God with camera: The air war, the flight simulator, the crop circle, space travel, the marching band forming a flag at halftime for the Goodyear blimp—recur throughout the book. · The centerpiece of the book, “Didactic Elegy,” written shortly after September 11, 2001, is among the most provocative and powerful considerations of the poetics of memorialization in recent memory. · Angle of Yaw will definitely make inroads to establishing Lerner as one of our most important and least predictable young poets.

'I sit on the loo and think about all the people I can have sex with now. I'm not obsessed with sex. I just can't stop thinking about it.'
The Fleabag bites back. A rip-roaring account of some sort of female living her sort of life.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's debut play is an outrageously funny monologue for a female performer. It premiered at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performed by Phoebe herself, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London, for several successful runs, followed by a UK tour.
It won a Fringe First Award in Edinburgh, the Most Promising New Playwright and Best Female Performance at the Off West End Theatre Awards, The Stage Award for Best Solo Performer and the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright. It received a Special Commendation in the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was nominated for the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre. In 2016 it was turned into a wildly successful and 'utterly riveting' (Guardian) BBC television series.
This edition also features an introduction by the author.
'Believe the hype, Waller-Bridge's raw writing… really is as good as everyone says' - The Stage
'Sucker-punch funny... I've never seen a play quite like it' - Scotsman
'frank and sometimes brutally funny... devastatingly good' - The Times
'blessed with a rare and compelling life force... deliciously dirty and scabrously funny' - Evening Standard

Joan La Pucelle (Joan of Arc), who becomes captain of the French, claims to be chosen by the Virgin Mary to liberate France. The English, however, consider her a sensual witch.Many of the English nobility remain, quarreling, at home. Once in France, some seek permission to fight each other there. Talbot and his son cannot prevail; the English defeat themselves by preying on each other.This edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books -An annotated guide to further readingEssay by Phyllis RackinThe Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
