Sinopsis

Lascelles Abercrombie's "The Epic" delves into the intricate fabric of epic poetry, exploring its origins, evolution, and the cultural significance it holds across various civilizations. Through a blend of critical analysis and poetic expression, Abercrombie employs a sophisticated yet accessible literary style that invites readers to engage deeply with the characteristics defining epic narratives. The text is enriched by its historical context, highlighting how epics reflect the values and struggles of their respective societies, from Homer's Greece to modern interpretations, making it a vital resource for understanding the genre's profound impact on literature. Abercrombie, an influential figure in the English literary scene of the early 20th century, was both a poet and a critic, known for his advocacy of the craft of poetry. His keen interest in form and thematic depth led him to dissect epic poetry with a penetrating insight and passion, which is evident throughout this work. Being acquainted with various literary movements, including Georgian poetry, Abercrombie synthesized these influences into a coherent exploration of the epic form, drawing on his own extensive readings of classic works. "The Epic" is highly recommended for scholars, students, and literary enthusiasts alike, as it provides a comprehensive and critical lens through which to appreciate the grandeur of epic poetry. Abercrombie's thoughtful examination not only enhances our understanding of the genre but also offers inspiration for contemporary writers, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    Mai Der Vang's poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. 
     
     
     
    With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. 
     
     
     
    Primordial examines the saola's relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang's poems are urgent stays against extinction.

    Ovarium - Poems

    Tender, loving and visceral, Ovarium is a pamphlet of poems about a giant ovarian cyst. The poet charts her journey with the cyst, from diagnosis to surgery to recovery, via a landscape of scanner rooms and hospital wards.
    
    The poems explore the impact of illness, and the body as a site of disgust and shame but also healing and endurance. Ingham's poems are forensic as she looks at the disorientating and sometimes patriarchal language of anatomy and medicine, and the way illness can change the relationship we have with our own bodies.
    I tried to think of you as fruit, growing
    against the sun-warm wall of my gut.
    Melon-headed, you nudged the leafy organs,
    dug out a place for yourself in the plot.
    I never guessed. I was only bloody earth
    to you, a coldframe full of light.
    
    - from 'Cyst'

    Me, You, Then Snow by Khashayar Mohammadi is a collection of poetry woven from dreams, memories and deep-seeded longing, a collection of poetry that ranges from ambiguously addressed love-letters, to ekphrastic poems for arthouse cinema, to pieces written near midnight when the day’s experiences rush back into view. Though working in diverse forms and styles, the poetry manifests as a profoundly unified desire to experience and communicate the world.
