Sinopse

Gertrude Stein's "GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume" presents a compelling anthology that showcases her innovative literary contributions. Stein's unique style, characterized by its experimental use of language, repetition, and nontraditional narrative structures, invites readers into a world where the boundaries of form and meaning blur. This collection encompasses her poetry, prose, and plays, illuminating her pivotal role in the avant-garde movement and her influence on Modernist literature. Each piece reflects her deep engagement with the rhythm of language, often focusing on the nuances of everyday life while challenging conventional literary expectations. Stein, an American expatriate, significantly shaped the modern literary landscape in the early 20th century, particularly in Paris where she became a central figure in the avant-garde. Her interactions with contemporaries such as Picasso and Hemingway enriched her artistic perspective, fostering a belief in breaking down linguistic traditions to explore new forms of expression. This collection is not just a product of her literary genius but also a reflection of her experiences as a woman navigating the male-dominated literary culture of her time. For readers seeking a profound literary experience, Stein's collection is an essential read. It offers insight into her innovative approaches to language and form, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of modern literature. As you delve into this comprehensive edition, prepare to challenge your perceptions of narrative and poetry through the lens of one of the 20th century's most important literary figures.

    Nerys Williams' new collection questions what makes a  Republic? Machinations of power? The speeches of politicians? The broad sweep of official histories? This sequence of 80 prose-poems, each constructed in 20 sentences, has arisen from the author's need to tell a more intimate history, to commit an untold oral history to paper. Williams returns to the meaning of "republic" in its Latin origins which meant "wealth of the people". 
    The poems tell the story of  a young Welsh woman growing up and coming of age in the 1980s and 90s, a time that culminated with new devolutionary powers in Wales. The explosion of the arts and culture looms large, through bands from New Order to my bloody valentine, but it is explored specifically through Cŵl Cymru', and the power of Welsh-language bands like Datblygu. This story is also about class, as we explore a family history of hard work in jobs from retail to caregiving. The poems introduce us to family influences, from a father who urges the narrator as a child to 'own the stage' in an early school Eisteddfod, to a grandmother who worked long hours in her rural shop, and a mother who was the local midwife.
    There are stories told, overheard, handed down, sometimes translated from Welsh. Together, they create an expansive portrait of the era, including the challenges for women, Welsh-speakers, and other marginalized groups. Ferocious remarks about the Welsh in the popular media are dissected with satirical humour and appalled fascination, while other poems describe being a token woman and political outsider on a TV current affairs show panel, tolerated but ostracized.
    From her more recent home, the republic of Ireland, Williams poses the possibilities of a nation looking at itself and its history from afar. Wales has not been allowed to be a republic, but is subject to a state that has military claims on its landscape and a second home explosion which has a severe impact on its communities. There is rebellion to be found in the older meaning of "republic": since the wealth of the people is a wealth of sounded stories, culture, art, and history.
    'Nerys Williams's Republic is a tour de force, a masterful account of the intellectual, political and personal development of a young woman from Welsh-speaking rural Wales and out in the world. Pitched against nostalgia, Nerys Williams's prose poems are tough-minded, shrewd and hugely evocative of the times she chronicles. She deploys details so vividly and with such a light a touch that she's created a new music all of her own. This book, like a waistcoat belt she describes, is a 'steel buckle, once harnessed to silk'.' —Gwyneth Lewis
    'The poetry of Nerys Williams is both playful and sharply preceptive, drawing on a wide range of often unexpected influences. She brings a unique set of interests to bear not just poetry in Wales, but on poetry generally.'—Zoë Skoulding
    'Nerys Williams brings precision, scrutiny, and synaesthesia to her terse, contemplative poems.' -Ben Wilkinson, The Guardian
    '…a strong imagism and an engaging 'I' voice that sometimes subverts expectations, allowing for a shift into more collective concerns. In addition, her deft handling of soundplay (especially the use of alliteration and assonance) greatly add to the experience of the poem as art.' -Michael S. Bengal  Poetry Ireland

    A Scent of Heaven is food for the soul lost in the dark night of the soul. This body of poems heals the wounds of the hopeless on every level-- many have found freedom in this text. Written as an ekphrastic text, the cover met Igwe with the telling of her story, and the stories of her people. These words are a radically honest approach to the altar of the soul, and the words invite you to join in this recounting of the body, mind and Spirit. Written by a living ancestor for other living ancestors--those who are wading the deep and dark at the bottom of the sea, here they found me a bit of me. This work is heavily influenced by Igwe's spiritual journey and her life existing between cultures: a quintessential, Nigerian brand of Christianity and her forays into the world of Odinani and ancestral veneration.

    Maya Bernstein's debut volume presents poems rigorously composed and delicately honed. It reveals the sensitive spirit and sharp mind of a mature speaker exploring the gaping space between the infinitude of the divine and the finite nature of human existence. 
    Authentic and honest, spanning the secular and the sacred, these poems challenge and speak truth to our fears and joys, navigating the complex intimacy and distance we experience as humans striving to connect to ourselves, one another, and to the forces that act upon us in the world.
