Sinopsis

Walter Scott's "Poetry" is a compelling collection that encapsulates the breadth of Romantic verse, showcasing his masterful command of language and diverse poetic forms. Infused with themes of chivalry, history, and the natural landscape, the collection reflects the era's fascination with the past and national identity, employing vivid imagery and rhythmic elegance that engage the reader's senses. Scott seamlessly weaves narrative and lyric, often drawing upon Scottish folklore and historical events to create a tapestry that honors cultural memory while exploring universal human experiences. A pivotal figure in the development of the historical novel, Scott's background as a Scottish law clerk and a quintessential Romanticist informs his poetic vision. His deep appreciation for Scotland's languid history and stunning scenery is reflected in the emotive and evocative quality of his work. Scott's childhood experiences, coupled with his social and political contexts, led him to articulate a voice that resonates with the collective memory of his nation, thereby amplifying his literary significance. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive exploration of Romantic poetry and its socio-cultural implications. Scott invites readers into a world where history and imagination converge, making "Poetry" an essential addition to the library of anyone invested in the evolution of modern literature.

     “The speaker in Shelley Puhak’s Harbinger is no closer to knowing herself than I am, than we are, which is why we trust her. Each similarly titled poem holds a triptych mirror up to the artist and, in so doing, up to us all, so we may better see ourselves as we are. In ever-changing form.” —Nicole Sealey  
    A stunning meditation on artistic creation and historical memory from the winner of the National Poetry Series, chosen by Nicole Sealey 
    From “Portrait of the artist, gaslit” to “Portrait of the artist’s ancestors” to “Portrait of the artist reading a newspaper,” the poems in Harbinger reflect the many facets of the artistic self as well as the myriad influences and experiences that contribute to that identity. 
    “Portrait of the artist as a young man” has long been the default position, but these poems carve out a different vantage point. Seen through the lens of motherhood, of working as a waitress, of watching election results come in, or of simply sitting in a waiting room, making art—and making an artist—is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us, especially as apocalypse looms? 
    With its surprising insights, Harbinger, the latest book from acclaimed poet Shelley Puhak, shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary, impressionable, and always in flux.

    You Can Leave - a novel

    When is a suicide not a suicide? You Can Leave, a novel by Laurie Calhoun, portrays a dark, disturbing, dystopic world where dissenters are permanently silenced whenever perceived of as threats by ruthless sociopaths occupying the highest corridors of power. The narrator relays her experiences at the hands of "the new mob", a coordinated network of operatives enlisted from all walks of life on a "need to know" basis to carry out what appear to be trivial tasks for enticing sums of money. Lost in the labyrinth of an insane bureaucracy run amok, the heroine charts her path to survival using the only available means: her capacity to think. But will that be taken away from her as well? 
    Where Franz Kafka meets George Orwell meets Jorge Luis Borges, the world of You Can Leave is fraught with paranoia and fear but illuminated by the light of pure reason. As the targeted protagonist uses logic alone to surmount hurdle after hurdle, she leaps in and out of the frame created for her by the author, thereby forcing the reader to confront an unsettling possibility: Could this be the world in which we currently live? 
    Set in 1993-1994, before the ubiquity of GPS technology and cell phones, You Can Leave presages what would become the century of mass surveillance in the age of the internet.
