Sinopsis

Giacomo Leopardi's "The Poems of Giacomo Leopardi" is a profound exploration of existential themes, human emotion, and the intricate relationship between desire and despair. Written in the early 19th century, this collection reflects Leopardi's Romantic style, characterized by its deep introspection, vivid imagery, and philosophical depth. The poems oscillate between a celebration of nature's beauty and a poignant acknowledgment of human suffering, illustrating the poet's struggle with the ephemeral nature of happiness and the inevitability of decay. This literary context situates Leopardi as a pivotal figure in Italian literature, whose works often grapple with metaphysical inquiries and the limitations of human experience. Giacomo Leopardi was born in 1798 in Recanati, Italy, to a noble family. His early life was marked by physical ailments and profound solitude, conditions that arguably shaped his literary voice. A self-taught scholar, Leopardi passionately engaged with philosophy, literature, and the sciences, leading him to question societal norms and human existence. His profound contemplations on love, nature, and mortality culminate in this rich collection, offering insights into his psyche and the broader human condition. Readers seeking a deep reflection on the nature of existence, as well as the beauty and pain inherent in life, will find "The Poems of Giacomo Leopardi" invaluable. Leopardi's lyrical mastery invites readers not only to understand but to feel the weight and wonder of human experience, making this collection a timeless work of art.

The Untranslatable I

Roxanna Bennett

In unmeaningable, her previous Trillium Poetry Award winning book with Gordon Hill Press, Roxanna Bennett renovated the North American disability poetics canon via her queer fusion of invisible and visible disability identities. The Untranslatable I builds on Roxanna's acute sense of form and cripping of myth by establishing a more reflective, heartbreaking voice that asks, "Was I chosen? Is this a gift or a curse?" and provides answers not as prescribed path or cure, but as beautiful song.

…Today I discovered/what a group of butterflies is called./ Their name is Kaleidoscope,/”
begins the final nine-line stanza of Cat Russell’s “Kaleidoscope,” a poem sharing her book’s title. Its final three lines read, “…the everchanging pattern/ a perfect fusion of shifting compliments:/ the envy of artists, flowers, and clear-blue skies./” Russell’s delightfully accessible homage to butterflies is an ideal invitation into her poignant collection of 86 poems. They entice readers to savor every sip of them in a single sitting.
There is something for every palate: from the humor in “Cheapskate Midlife Crisis” and “F-Bombs,” to the understated predatory horror in “Servings,” to the anticipatory excitement of a thunderstorm in “Foretaste.”
Kaleidoscope showcases a writer whose talent is boundless! Cat Russell’s poetry is both beguiling and intellectually intoxicating. You’ll undoubtedly mark her collection a favorite.

Time For My Generation To DIE

E.D. Evans

Imagine finding a dusty, water-stained journal in an abandoned subway station before realizing it was written 20 years in the future. No robot maids or air cars, just capital L, “Life,” through X-ray specs, and don’t hold the band-aid ripping or bemused outrage. There are a thousand novels herein. (Buddy Woodward) Time for My Generation to DIE from poet and balladeer E.D. Evans takes no prisoners. Evans uses her sparkling, prickly verse to pluck out mournful, bleak, and violent tableaus. Each of her poems—Ballad or not—Is deserving of a hard-strummed guitar and some harmonica across the bridge. This is distilled country and southwestern, sans redemption, sans chaser.(Sean McCollum) Here we will find necessary truths—Honest evidence of a transformative journey, amusing and disturbing, disarming with a hip, wry wit of personal insight. A reminder of poetry as event, where you will find your lips mouthing the vowels. A nod, and a wink never too far behind, Evans’ artistry holds your hand through the odyssey and the rhyme.(Henry Long) Pssssst! Hey, You, Yes… YOUR Generation (whichever that may be). Are you looking for:Saccharin love sonnets? Maudlin two-line musings? Droning co-opted hip hop lyrics? - You won't find that here. Do you desire:Trite overbaked sentiment? Foolish masturbatory banter? Inscrutable word salad? - You won't find that here. What you WILL find here is an epitaph, of sorts, laced with:Dark humor, Snide observations, Stark realism, Morbid landscapes, Gamblers and junkies & Punks and thugs. An epitaph for MY forgotten generation - Generation Jones - who:Relish obscure banalities, Prefer pencil on paper, Revel in audacious irony and Eschews ‘the good old days’. It’s no longer time for any of these things.It’s simply:… Time for my Generation to Die. E.D. Evans is a lifelong poet. Having spent time in both London and New York during Punk’s original heyday in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s...

More Songs the Radio Won’t Play...

Stan Rogal

Lyrical poetry inspired by popular songs, Rogal sweeps the reader through the journey of creation.
		 
In More Songs the Radio Won’t Play, Stan Rogal takes formerly “popular” tunes (from various genres) and transforms them. Self-referentiality; mashups of the erudite and profane; allusions to other arts and sciences; the insertion and bending of biographical and historical facts; problematic snippets of philosophy and literary theory, quotes, and bastardizations; deploying non- or a-political language to challenge notions of how a poem should work; sampling; and off-kilter humour work together to update Rogal’s playlist for a present-day audience.
		 
While his poems unavoidably serve to comment on the world today, Rogal resists a central message. The true emphasis of this collection is on the process of creation. It’s not the destination but the journey that is of significance. Not mere cover versions, not exactly parodies (though parodic), these poems are redactions, mutations, Frankenstein’s monsters … they resemble the original — somewhat — yet are also grossly different.
