Summary

The Whimsy of Dank Ju-Ju is a collection of colourful, energetic poems which revel in language. Using experimental forms and punctuation, with snippets of lines exploded across the page, Akhtar drags the reader into a world of magic, heat, life and... whimsy.   (extract from 'The Universal Mystique of Not-writing')    I am not a stylish hand You are not red clover tea I am a basker waiting for sharks To tread the water in fin-love & remedy is not vanilla-flavored Orange tetrahedron or gargoyles Pretending to be pretty.  I am not a leather rose You are not a leaping lemon There is a memory that has blistered Into letters on my face I have not held a baby There is a repose in silence, Joining hands we become A chain of paper dolls Rippling like hair caught in the current.
Available since: 02/17/2020.

    Wordsworth was a defining member of the English Romantic Movement. Like other Romantics, Wordsworth’s personality and poetry were deeply influenced by his love of nature, especially by the sights and scenes of the Lake Country, in which he spent most of his mature life. A profoundly earnest and sincere thinker, he displayed a high seriousness tempered with tenderness and a love of simplicity. (summary from Bartleby.com)

    The new poetry collection from the award-winning author of Chelsea Girls reads like “an arrival, a voice always becoming, unpinnable and queer” (Natalie Diaz, New York Times Book Review).   The first all-new collection of poems from Eileen Myles since 2011’s Snowflake/different streets, Evolution follows the author’s critically acclaimed Afterglow (a dog memoir), as well as a volume of selected poems, I Must Be Living Twice. In these new poems, we find the eminent, exuberant writer at the forefront of American literature, upending genre in a new vernacular that radiates insight, purpose, and risk while channeling of Quakers, Fresca, and cell phones.   This long-awaited new collection “lopes forward in the strutting style of the witnessing and sincere, but gorgeously nonaustere, poet in New York…The gift of Evolution is its bold depiction of the textually-rendered ‘I’-Eileen” (Kenyon Review).  A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
