Synopsis

In "Ebony and Crystal: Poems in Verse and Prose," Clark Ashton Smith masterfully intertwines lucid imagery with a vivid imagination, crafting a collection that is both a celebration of and an exploration into the realms of beauty and despair. The work is characterized by a flamboyant literary style, rich in ornate language and intricate symbolism, echoing the decadence of the Symbolist movement. Smith's unique blend of fantasy and lyricism invites readers into a multi-faceted world, where metaphysical musings and earthly concerns collide, revealing profound truths hidden beneath layers of lyrical prose. Clark Ashton Smith was not only a poet but also a sculptor and a painter, which deeply influenced his creative sensibilities. Born in 1893, his multifarious artistic pursuits and lifelong fascination with the arcane and the otherworldly shaped the contours of his literary voice. His experiences in the bohemian culture of the early 20th century California infused his work with a sense of artisanal craftsmanship, often reflecting themes of lost civilizations and the splendor of twilight worlds. "Ebony and Crystal" is a must-read for those captivated by exquisite verse and explorations of the human condition. It offers a deep dive into a world of imagination that transcends time, inviting readers to revel in the beauty of language and the haunting echoes of existence. Smith's work stands as a testament to the power of poetry to elevate the mundane into the realm of the extraordinary.

    In Flood, Jessica Mookherjee inhabits several identities in her 'bone-framed coat'. With overarching themes of migration, otherness, sexual awakening, and maternal mental illness, we encounter the aftermath of catastrophe, of loss and being lost.
    Here, 'time folds us into origami boats' – and the poems swell with the surging tides of youth and of becoming, of what we inherit and what we forge as our own path – and what happens when we jump into the depths and experience life in full-flow. Alive with wildlife and nightlife, mythmaking and bad romance, the everyday and the otherworldly, Flood is a prodigious debut collection from a truly distinctive and vital voice, now reissued in this new edition by Nine Arches Press.

    Leaves of Grass The Original...

    Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892).The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.

    Separation: A History

    The sequel to The Law of Second Marriages, the best-selling and critically acclaimed poetry book by Christine. With "terrifying sparseness and intensity", as Cyril Wong observes, Christine threads together stories of the Separation between Singapore and Malaysia with the separation between her parents. Her searing vision, ambitious and intimate, opens up emotional spaces in unlikely places. 
     
    "Christine's writing balances a journalist's clarity with a poet's desire to color and invent. In this boldly innovative book, she tells how the history of a family and that of a nation curiously come to mirror each other. By alternating poems with news clippings, photos, and google searches, she also creates a dialogue between public and private, personal and political, fact and fantasy. At times, the effect is poignant, at times playful, but in every instance, Christine proves she knows how "to love/ like an economist" and make every word shine." - Elaine Equi, author of Click and Clone
