Summary

In "Ara vus prec," T. S. Eliot presents a captivating exploration of the themes of spirituality, mortality, and the interconnectedness of human experience. Written in a highly inventive style, this collection of poems employs a fragmented yet cohesive narrative structure, demonstrating Eliot's mastery over rhythm and meter. The work is steeped in a rich intertextuality, drawing from classical and contemporary influences, which situates it firmly within the Modernist literary tradition. Here, Eliot delves into the existential dilemmas that pervade modern life, while blending stark realism with metaphysical inquiry, creating a profound impact on the reader's imagination. T. S. Eliot, a pivotal figure in 20th-century literature, profoundly shaped modern poetry through his innovative approaches and philosophical underpinnings. His own experiences of cultural dislocation, war, and a search for meaning in the chaotic aftermath of the early 1900s inspired his artistic vision. "Ara vus prec" reflects his sustained engagement with religious and philosophical themes, indicating a quest for spiritual clarity amidst the disillusionment of the age. For readers seeking a thought-provoking and aesthetically challenging read, "Ara vus prec" is an essential addition to the modern literary canon. Eliot's nuanced exploration of urgent human questions resonates powerfully, making this work a significant touchstone for understanding the complexities of the human condition.

    There is (still) love here, the compelling new collection of poetry by Dean Atta, is a personal and powerful exploration of relationships, love and loss, encompassing LGBTQ+ and Black history, Greek Cypriot heritage, pride and identity, dislocation and belonging.
Atta's tender, precisely-crafted and generous poems seek consolation and affirmation. These are poems as an antidote for challenging times, whether facing prejudice or the challenges of the pandemic, experiencing grief or recovering from heartbreak. Here, we encounter blue feelings and homesickness, things lost in translation and the pressures of the many roles we play in life. We also find the recipes of home, gifts and giving, the togetherness of community and connection to help us to heal. There is still love here - and journeys towards forgiveness, acceptance, queer joy and the power to unapologetically be yourself and fully embrace who you are.

    Luci Shaw is now 90 years old. The author of more than 35 collections of poetry and creative non-fiction over the last five decades, she describes her dedication to this art as a burden to "speak into a culture that finds it hard to listen." This collection of new poems—all composed over the last two years—is in many ways the culmination of a stunning career.


 


The joy and responsibility of the poet is to focus on particulars within the universe, finding fragments of meaning that speak to the imagination. Ordinary things may reveal the extraordinary for those willing to take time to investigate and ponder. In this fresh collection of poems, Luci Shaw practices the art of seeing, and then writing what she sees, realizing that beauty is often focused in the Eye of the Beholder.


 

Eye of the Beholder is meant to awaken in readers awareness of the extraordinary in the ordinary. They will find in this collection a focus for meditation and be excited into their own imaginative writing.

    A suite of poems about a percussionist in 1970 Spanish Harlem music circles, from the author of The Crazy Bunch 
  
A National Book Critics Circle 2014 Finalist for Poetry 
  
Through dream song and elegy, alternate takes and tempos, prizewinning poet Willie Perdomo’s third collection crackles with vitality and dynamism as it imagines the life of a percussionist, rebuilding the landscape of his apprenticeship, love, diaspora, and death. At the beginning of his infernal journey, Shorty Bon Bon recalls his live studio recording with a classic 1970s descarga band, sharing his recollection with an unidentified poet. This opening section is followed by a call-and-response with his greatest love, a singer named Rose, and a visit to Puerto Rico that inhabits a surreal nationalistic dreamscape, before a final jam session where Shorty recognizes his end and a trio of voices seek to converge on his elegy. 
  
“A vivid portrait of a late-20th century Nuyorican musical community … Perdomo manages to mix the language of city life with a sense of the transcendent.”—NPR.org
