  The Milk Hours - Poems

  John James

  Winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, The Milk Hours is an elegant debut that searches widely to ask what it means to exist in a state of loss. 
  “We lived overlooking the walls overlooking the cemetery.” So begins the title poem of this collection, whose recursive temporality is filled with living, grieving things, punctuated by an unseen world of roots, bodies, and concealed histories. Like a cemetery, too, The Milk Hours sets unlikely neighbors alongside each other: Hegel and Murakami, Melville and the Persian astronomer al-Sufi, enacting a transhistorical poetics even as it brims with intimacy. These are poems of frequent swerves and transformations, which never stray far from an engagement with science, geography, art, and aesthetics, nor from the dream logic that motivates their incessant investigations. 
  Indeed, while John James begins with the biographical—the haunting loss of a father in childhood, the exhausted hours of early fatherhood—the questions that emerge from his poetic synthesis are both timely and universal: what is it to be human in an era where nature and culture have fused? To live in a time of political and environmental upheaval, of both personal and public loss? How do we make meaning, and to whom—or what—do we turn, when such boundaries so radically collapse?

  The Big Smoke

  Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
   
   
   
  The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.

  The Great Highway - A...

  August Strindberg

  Life, a fleeting shadow, a whisper in the wind, 
  We wander lost, adrift in the void, 
  Seeking solace in the darkness, 
  Yet finding only echoes of our own despair. 
  What is truth? What is meaning? 
  These questions haunt me, torment me, 
  As I tread the great highway of existence, 
  Alone, and yet surrounded by the clamor of life. 
  Oh, to find redemption in this wilderness, 
  To glimpse the light amidst the shadows, 
  But alas, it eludes me still, 
  A distant dream, a fading hope. 
  And so I wander on, a pilgrim of the soul, 
  Seeking answers in the silence, 
  Hoping against hope for a glimpse of truth, 
  In this vast expanse of nothingness.
