Sinopse

In 'Selections from Modern Poets,' readers are invited to explore the dynamism of early 20th-century poetry through a carefully curated collection that traverses an array of themes and styles. Capturing the zeitgeist of modernism, these works encapsulate the transformative years surrounding World War I, imbued with the tension of tradition and innovation. From poignant war reflections to explorations of identity and introspection, the anthology juxtaposes varied literary movements within a singular, compelling volume. The diversity of poetic forms and the profound emotive depth present in this collection make it a rich tapestry of voices, inviting readers to immerse themselves into the stirring currents of modernity. The anthology brings together an impressive assembly of poets, offering a veritable who's who of the period's literary milieu. Figures synonymous with the era, such as James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence, stand alongside evocative voices like Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon. These authors draw from distinct backgrounds and experiences, from the trenches of war to the salons of literary discourse, unified under the modernist ethos. Collectively, they address the shifting landscapes of a world in flux, contributing to a broader understanding of the era's cultural and artistic undertakings. 'Representing an expansive range of perspectives, 'Selections from Modern Poets' serves as a crucial entry point into the world of early 20th-century poetry. It offers a microcosm of the divergent ideas, experiments, and emotions that characterize the modernist movement. For lovers of literature and students of history alike, this anthology presents a unique opportunity not only to witness the birth of new poetic expression but also to appreciate the varied voices that challenged and redefined a period marked by profound change. The collection invites readers on a journey through complex themes and compelling insights, fostering a richer dialogue about this pivotal moment in literary history."}

    Reading the Bible Backwards

    Reverse engineering the word, meme splicing, morpheme replacement therapy, phonetic modifications: these are some of the techniques in play throughout Reading the Bible Backwards, the lyrical thought experiments that make up this eagerly anticipated new collection of poems by Robert Priest. By throwing the Bible and other cultural narratives on the turntable and spinning them backwards, Priest unleashes surprisingly new but strangely familiar music and meaning. Whether the movements are sideways, inverted, or omni-directional, his satire has never been sharper — or darker. Ultimately, though, Priest’s lyric voice has never been more finely tuned or elegant, especially in the wonderfully groundbreaking “I Love You Forwards” poems that afford this book its remarkable balance.

    "Twas the Night Before Christmas," was originally published anonymously in 1823 as "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Perhaps the most famous Christmas poem of all time, it relates the story of a father awoken from his sleep on Christmas Eve by Santa Claus - St. Nick in the poem - who lands with his sleigh and "eight tiny reindeer" on the roof of the house, comes down the chimney and delivers toys to the family. He then departs, calling out as he flies away the famous closing line: "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"   A Christmas classic for two centuries, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" was claimed by author Clement C. Moore in 1837 and is presented here in its original and unabridged form.

    Winner, 2021 PEN/Jean Stein Award Winner, 2021 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry Winner, 2022 Indiana Author Award in Poetry Be Holding is a love song to legendary basketball player Julius Erving—known as Dr. J—who dominated courts in the 1970s and ‘80s as a small forward for the Philadelphia ‘76ers. But this book-length poem is more than just an ode to a magnificent athlete. Through a kind of lyric research, or lyric meditation, Ross Gay connects Dr. J’s famously impossible move from the 1980 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers to pick-up basketball and the flying Igbo and the Middle Passage, to photography and surveillance and state violence, to music and personal histories of flight and familial love. Be Holding wonders how the imagination, or how our looking, might make us, or bring us, closer to each other. How our looking might make us reach for each other. And might make us be reaching for each other. And how that reaching might be something like joy.

Segal’s debut poetry compilation, (Un)Tethered, pulls us into moments of conflict—both internal and external—and self-reflection as it explores universal themes of love, loss, death, growth, fear, and self-realization. But despite the timelessness of these themes, the poems are also distinctively Segal’s, conveying their unique experiences, depth of feeling, and struggles with identity and relationships. A striking collection that will embed in your memory.
