mahogany takes its name from the dark wood prized for its durability, workability, and elegant look, and from the Diana Ross movie, whose theme song asks if what lies ahead is what you really want. This book is the third in a trilogy, and like the first two books it is steeped in pop music. Each poem here takes its title from a line of a Diana Ross and The Supremes song, as well as songs from Diana Ross' solo career. Short lines flow down the page like postmodern psalms, connecting dailyness to timelessness, merging the historical and the beloved through reverence for family, music, and the life we actually live. mahogany is a lament for the passing of time and unimaginable loss, and at the same time it models the daily search for joy, and the deep shine that can arise from the darkest times.[sample poem]i'm like a woman who once knew splendor*sometimes i feel like the pink pantherall naked and pinklost in the morass ofdo the best you can todayand nigga heal thy selfour end of winterspirits breaklike old tibetan snowi rememberyou was conflictedand i found myself alonehere on my ancient hurtthe disquieting humof living historydear god, pleaseput my head above my heartwe can only be togetherif the stories are toldplain facesame instrumentjust a couple of coke bottlesfull of gasolinelike god and rainis a waste of timemy mother used to clean housesas a childsome days i can barelyget out of bedin my mindshe's like diana rossscrubbing the white lady's stairsin lady sings the bluesexcept prettierand with green eyesi've just been livingoff of cough dropsand water and angerjust sitting in the whole foodsparking lot eating pineapplei am literallythe definition of "hot mess"pain changes everythingsomebody comeand pick upmy limp bodyoff the groundi am dyinga slow ohio deathwe miss you starmanit's our first sunrise of the burn* "dark side of the world"erica lewisMostra libro
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST SINGLE POEM* From the mercurial mind of award-winning poet John McCullough comes his darkest and most experimental book to date. Panic Response puts personal and cultural anxiety under the microscope. It is full of things that shimmer, quiver and fizz: plankton glowing at low tide; brain tissue turning to glass; a basketball emerging from the waves, covered in barnacles. These are poems of uncertainty but also of hope, which move beyond the breathlessness of panic towards luminescence and solidarity.Mostra libro
The mythology of the Train, the Railroad, those two shiny tracks running off into the far distance is a powerful symbol of the industrial age. The train was the first mass transit system to network the land and to carry people and materials of every class and of every shape. A sort of democracy with the only requirement of use being the price of a ticket. Poets who grew up with this pulsating leviathan of industry were quick to see its merits for their own lines and verse. Across these poems comes both an individual eye across a wide range of feelings, thoughts and ideas as well as, occasionally, the trainspotter’s delight for form and detail from poets such as Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas, Edna St Vincent Millay, Damon Runyon and a host of others. 1 - The Poetry of Trains - An Introduction 2 - A Song of the Rails by Damon Runyon 3 - Song of a Train by John Davidson 4 - Song of the Rail by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 5 - Rhyme of the Rail by John Godfrey Saxe 6 - Up the Line by Will Carleton 7 - From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson 8 - An Incident in a Railroad Car by Jamers Russell Lowell 9 - Railway Times by Martin Faraquar Tupper 10 - On the Engine by Night by Alexander Anderson 11 - The Night Journey by Rupert Brooke 12 - Travel by Edna St Vincent Millay 13 - Train Ride by Federico Garcia Lorca 14 - The Train by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge 15 - Homeward Ho! by Ada A Mosher 16 - The Rail Road by James Very 17 - The Railway Train by Emily Dickinson 18 - In the Train by James Thomson 19 - The Division Superintendent by Ambrose Bierce 20 - The Word of an Engineer by James Weldon Johnson 21 - The Train Among the Hills by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts 22 - The Gospel Train.

Rooted in the grit of urban Baltimore and the forests of rural Massachusetts, these poems remind us that life' s tensions and polarities are energies we carry within ourselves. These are poems of witness and commentary, conversation and meditation. They offer moments of close looking, and of looking away; of loving, and of bungled attempts to be more loving. They call us to look long and hard— and generously — at our lives. Written with radiant honesty and fierce tenderness, they suggest a path of inner discovery where mystery awaits us in the ordinary.Mostra libro

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. At first glance, it’s easy to assemble. But once you add those who simply have to be included then you already have too many and the perennially hard part of whittling them down to ten begins. Each and every one of these chosen are masters of their art and craft. Genius in every name.Mostra libro
