Sinopsis

In 'Poems, 1914-1919', Maurice Baring encapsulates the tumultuous spirit of an era defined by the Great War, capturing the personal and cultural upheavals of his time with intimate lyrical prowess. Baring's poetry is characterized by its classical forms and a masterful command of meter, infusing the traditional with the tension and anxieties of modernity. His work, set against the backdrop of literary movements like Modernism, is both a testament to and a departure from his contemporaries, reflecting a unique perspective on a world at the brink of profound change. Reflecting the author's multifaceted career—as a diplomat, a correspondent, and an intelligence officer—this collection is a mirror to the soul of a man intimately engaged with his era's most significant events. It's through this lens that Baring's poems shed light on the personal costs of war, from valiant sacrifice to the silent despair of the human condition. His work is deeply entrenched in the socio-political narrative of early 20th-century Europe, and his experiences undoubtedly inform the rich tapestry of themes explored within these pages. 'Poems, 1914-1919' is recommended for readers seeking a poignant and historically resonant lyrical journey. Baring's expressive versatility and profound emotional undertones resonate with those interested in the literary reflection of wartime experiences. Scholars and enthusiasts alike are invited to explore this finely observed collection, a welcome addition to the canon of World War I literature, and to appreciate Baring's significant, yet often understated contribution to the poetry of his time.

    Poetry, prose, and photographs, explore the edges of languageEdges & Fray is an embodied meditation that cultivates receptivity and deep listening to the ways we inhabit language and its ethereal resilience. Combining close observation of birds' nests and the writing process, Danielle Vogel brings the reader into communion with language as a mode of presence. The frayed edges of consciousness are carefully arranged to suggest how writing, and the book, can serve as a site of radical transformation. Experimental and deeply grounded, this work is lyrical and patient. The text creates overlapping ecological fields, wherein each field is a system always in a state of becoming. Finding its strength in fragility, Edges & Fray is personal without feeling private, experimental without feeling programmatic. Its construction is intuitive and masterful, its many threads interwoven and intrinsically linked. This is a beautiful and inspiring book at the intersection of poetry, somatics, ecology, and divination.

    this volume of the 10 volume series is subtitled "Tales of Horror and Death" 
    - includes some of Poe's most famous works including "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Fall of the House of Usher" and 10 others 
    Acclaimed American writer, Edgar Allan Poe (1809 to 1849) was known particularly for his mysteries and tales of the macabre. He was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. 
    Poe's father abandoned the family when he was just 1 year old and his mother died the following year. He was taken in by John and Frances Allan and lived with them into young adulthood. Poe attended the University of Virginia but had to leave due to lack of money. He quarreled with John Allan over the lack of funds for his education. In 1827, Poe enlisted in the United States Army under an assumed name and also published his first collection. Poe failed as an officer cadet at West Point, decided to be a full-time writer, and thus the relationship with the Allans was severed.

    The latest book by Gillian Sze, author of the Pat Lowther Memorial Award–winning book Quiet Night Think
    		 
    This prosimetrical work is a meditation on motherhood, language, and art. The central speaker witnesses the earliest utterances of her child and launches into a poetic inquiry of words themselves, asking, How to measure one’s mouth by its words? The speaker seeks an answer amidst the language that surrounds her — words misspoken, mispronounced, remembered, unwritten — and, in doing so, struggles with signification and significance.
    		 
    Each prose poem in the five-part collection darts between the many meanings of “fit” — as in “a sudden burst of emotion” or “to be the right size and shape,” and the archaic “fytte” (a section of a poem). A text becomes an open mouth, a square day of a calendar, or a bare fragment of a narrative. The final section of the book is an intimate and ekphrastic engagement with the work of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Drawn to Hammershøi’s paintings of the empty rooms of his apartment, the speaker recognizes a familiar space of art’s insistence.
    		 
    An Orange, A Syllable details a period of maternal and artistic transformation.
