Sinopsis

In 'Al Que Quiere!' William Carlos Williams crafts a reverberating collection that delves into the breadth of human experience with a unique blend of clarity and complexity that would come to define his lyrical prowess. As Williams's third volume of poetry, the work stands as a testament to his maturing voice and versatility in subject matter. It is imbued with a stark, imagistic style that captures the essence of moments while engaging themes of identity, place, and the fabric of everyday life. The title poem, inspired by Rafael Arévalo Martínez's Spanish tale, anchors the collection with its elongated exploration into the nuances of desire and belonging, illustrating Williams's affinity for cross-cultural narratives and his experimental narrative techniques within the modernist literary context of the early 20th century.

William Carlos Williams, an influential American poet and physician, was a pioneer in developing a distinctly American voice in poetry that broke away from the traditional European models. His dual career in medicine profoundly influenced his poetic vision, as he drew deeply from his interactions with patients and the American landscape, capturing the complex human condition with stark simplicity and visceral imagery. The poems in 'Al Que Quiere!' were born from the interplay of Williams's professional life and his literary communion with contemporary modernist poets, melding his day-to-day encounters into an art form that speaks to the universal through the particulars.

Al Que Quiere!' is a commendable read for those who appreciate poetry that intertwines daily life's immediacy with the richness of art. Williams invites readers to explore a world where the mundane transcends to the lyrical, creating profound connections from the simplicity of the ordinary. This collection, layered with accessible yet profound verses, is a perfect doorway to appreciating Williams's contribution to modern American literature and offers valuable insights to students and aficionados of poetry alike, as they ponder the enduring questions of human existence captured in Williams's well-crafted lines.

    The Satires

    Juvenal

    The Roman poet Juvenal was the greatest satirist of Imperial Rome. His 16 satires encompass attacks on the immorality, abuses and hypocrisy of the Romans of his day. The last of the great Roman poets, he wrote between CE 110 and 130, his approach to satire coming close to modern expectations of the genre.
    Today, Juvenal is best known for the Latin quotations panem et circenses (‘bread and races’ – he stated that this was all the Roman populace desired) and mens sana in corpore sano (‘a healthy mind in a healthy body’).
    This audiobook, deftly delivered by David Timson, uses Niall Rudd’s translation, which preserves the style and metrical effect of Juvenal’s hexameters.

    With the emotional undertow of Ocean Vuong and the astute political observations of Natalie Diaz, a powerful poetry debut exploring the effects of racism, war and colonialism, queer love and desire. 
     
     
     
    In their breathtaking international debut, Aaiún Nin plumbs the depths of the lived and enduring effects of colonialism in their native country, Angola. In these pages, Nin untangles complexities of exile, the reckoning of familial love, but also reveals the power of queer love and desire through the body that yearns to love and be loved. Nin shows the ways in which faith and devotion serve as forms of oppression and interrogates the nature of home by reclaiming the persistent echoes of trauma. A captivating blend of evocative prose and intimate testimony, Nin speaks to the universal vulnerability of existence.

    How News Travels - POEMS

    This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
    The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
    — Vijay Seshadri  
    By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
    — Ellen Bass 
    The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
    — D. Nurkse

    An imagined conversation with Dante Alighieri written in response to the 700th anniversary of Dante's death by fellow Catholic poet, lover and master of the sonnet, Angela Alaimo O'Donnell.
    
     
    
    
    In the summer of 2021, Angela Alaimo O'Donnell honored the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, by embarking on a three-month pilgrimage through the 100 cantos of The Divine Comedy, reading one canto per day. This new collection, Dear Dante, is her response to Dante's epic poem: 39 poems (13 for each of the 3 canticles), plus an additional 3 to serve as prologue and epilogue, all written in the poetic forms Dante loved best: the sonnet and the form he invented, terza rima.
    
    
     
    
    
    In O'Donnell's words: "Dear Dante is a species of accompaniment, an act of homage, and a long love letter to Dante. It might also be read as a series of meditations that attest to how dear Dante is to us. The Commedia is our inheritance, a gift granted to readers by our brother poet 700 years ago. These poems are an admittedly small expression of gratitude for that grand and graced gift. Grazie Mille, Maestro."
