Summary

A hybrid work in the true spirit of CHP, Lara’s book is an interrogative, searching collection of documentary poetics that fits alongside mainstays of our poetry list like Eleni Sikelianos, Marjorie Welish, Lightey Darst, and Dawn Lundy Martin.

Lara is well-connected across art, performance, and literary circles thanks to her editorial position at Triple Canopy, travel between NY and MN, and the interdisciplinary nature of her work. We expect to draw event audiences from beyond the typical reading crowd; we hope to play to her strengths in multimedia practice with creative event programming

This book will have wide interest for those looking to interrogate trauma, both intimate and generational, art, and the history of the Bronx.
Available since: 05/12/2020.

Trouble simmers in a small Pacific Northwest town when generations of secrets collide. Hannah, the daughter of the largest berry farmer in the county, searches for her voice after her twin sister dies of cancer. She jumps into the controversy around immigrant workers at the farm, and naively causes further problems. Her boyfriend, Luis, forced to live without his deported family, seeks his place within the American dream. His elderly friend, Joseph, an undocumented immigrant from Russia, emerges from seclusion to confront an old vendetta and protect his mushroom cure for cancer and his prototype of a light silk-titanium airplane wing from outside forces.

    War Is Kind (Collection)

    Stephen Crane

    Published in 1899, just a year before his death, War Is Kind by Stephen Crane evokes again the dark imagery of war which made his fortune in The Red Badge Of Courage. Unlike that book, this collection leaves the battlefield itself behind to explore the damage war does to people’s hearts and minds. Reeking of dashed hopes, simultaneously sympathetic with the victims of war and cynical about the purposes of war, Crane implicitly criticizes the image of the romantic hero and asks if Love can survive. 
The poetic voice is one of an old and wearied soul, stark and disillusioned, which is all the more intriguing since Crane was dead before he reached his 30th birthday. His work calls to mind the Beat Poets of the mid 20th century in its powerful use of language and bleak idiomatic landscape. It is poetry on the cusp of the fin de siècle; echoing the passing age and presaging the newborn century.  (Summary by Chip)
