Beschreibung

In "Poems," Marie Van Vorst explores the intricacies of human experience through a delicate interplay of rich imagery and emotive language. The collection is characterized by its lyrical quality, drawing readers into a world where nature and human emotions intertwine. Van Vorst's poetry often reflects the societal and personal tumult of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, marking her work with themes of love, loss, and the struggle for identity. This collection stands out not just for its thematic depth but for its innovative use of form, as Van Vorst adeptly blends traditional and modern poetic techniques to create a unique voice in American literature. Marie Van Vorst was a prominent figure in the early feminist literary movement, influenced by her own experiences as a writer and social activist. Her upbringing in a progressive household and her exposure to various cultural narratives of her time significantly shaped her perspectives on gender and social justice, themes that resonate throughout her poetry. By engaging with the complexities of her era, Van Vorst aims to confront the conventions of her day, offering readers insightful reflections on societal norms and personal aspirations. "Poems" is highly recommended for those who appreciate nuanced and evocative poetry that delves into the human psyche. With its rich thematic concerns and beautiful language, this collection serves as both an artistic achievement and a historical document, making it a vital read for students of literature and fans of poetic expression alike.

    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.

    Richard struggled for much of his life with a mystery. Why was he uneasy and uncomfortable? Why did he feel like an imposter? In his sixties, he made a discovery that would change his life and his creative work. He realized that his life as a man did not fit with who he knew himself to be. He began the journey of transition that led him to emerge in his San Francisco community as "Richelle Lee," leaving "Richard" behind. 
    This powerful book of poems by Richelle is a magnificent collection of metrical poetry that gifts the reader with honest passion and delightful good humor. Richelle Lee Slota's poems open themselves to the world in private and public "letters" that dare to test a society full of hate and division. These letters/poems are stronger than the terror and rejection the writer faces. The beauty of her rhythm and her emotional honesty--and Richelle's dazzling technical energy--reach out to anyone seeking optimism and hope and provide nourishment. "Catch the cis-brained psyches' sober iambs/write, thrumming clever like a cleaver transgender tie-ins," Richelle writes. See the gifted person who has discarded her dead name and be captivated, enlarged, and changed by this writer of unique and moving poetry, who courageously signs her new name to every poem.
