Lara Mimosa Montes

Sinossi

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.

Disponibile da: 12/05/2020.

The Ballad of Reading Gaol

Oscar Wilde

Wilde’s meditation on capital punishment, the Ballad of Reading Gaol comes after he was convicted and imprisoned under charges of gross indecency. The charges stemmed from his affair with Lord Alfred Douglas, the son of the Marquis of Queensberry. It relates the story of an execution of a man who murdered his wife which Wilde witnessed during his internment. Published in 1898, it was Wilde’s last published poem as he would die in 1900 from cerebral menengitis, caused by syphilis.(Summary by John Gonzalez)

Julius Caesar

William Shakespeare

The authoritative edition of Julius Caesar from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers.Shakespeare may have written Julius Caesar as the first of his plays to be performed at the Globe, in 1599. For it, he turned to a key event in Roman history: Caesar’s death at the hands of friends and fellow politicians.

Shakespeare’s play keeps this debate alive.This edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books -An up-to-date annotated guide to further readingEssay by Coppélia KahnThe Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.

A Voice Coming from Then

Jeremy Dixon

Jeremy Dixon's first full poetry collection A Voice Coming From Then starts from his teenage suicide attempt and expands to encompass themes of bullying, queerphobia, acceptance and support. Includes unexpected typography, collage, humour, magic, discotheques and frequent appearances from the Victorian demon, Spring-heeled Jack.
Content Warning: Some poems in this book deal with themes and expressions of physical and verbal bullying, swearing, homophobia, homophobic language, queerphobia, attempted suicide and suicide.

'A moving, haunting collection that is remarkable for both its startling depictions and visual inventiveness, Jeremy Dixon brings us to the edge and says: 'listen'. I recommend you listen' - Natalie Ann Holborow

'A work of powerful vulnerability and queer resilience... holds difficult material with tenderness, precision and formal playfulness. Dixon's invocation to, 'clap and cheer and cradle your younger self' in a world where 'no system can guarantee safety' unsentimentally, but urgently, extends a hand of experience' - Caleb Parkin
'A rallying cry not just for inclusion but for love, in so many forms' - Katherine Stansfield
