  Oscar Wilde - Chapter & Verse -...

  Literature is a world of words and wonder, able to take us on almost unimaginable journeys from the wild and fantastic to the grind and minutiae of life. 
   
  An author’s ideas are his building blocks, his architecture of the mind, building a structure on which all else will rest; the narrative, the characters, the words - those few words that begin the adventure. 
   
  In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem.  In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything.  But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle.  Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another. 
   
  Story. Poems. Story.  Within these boundaries come all manner of invention and cast of characters.  And, of course, each author has their own way of revealing their own chapter and verse.

  LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY 
   
   
   
  "Where are you from . . . ? No—where are you from from?" It's a question every Asian American gets asked as part of an incessant chorus saying you'll never belong here, you're a perpetual foreigner, you'll always be seen as an alien, an object, or a threat. 
   
   
   
  Monica Youn's From From brilliantly evokes the conflicted consciousness of deracination. If you have no core of "authenticity," no experience of your so-called homeland, how do you piece together an Asian American identity out of Westerners' ideas about Asians? Your sense of yourself is part stereotype, part aspiration, part guilt. In this dazzling collection, one sequence deconstructs the sounds and letters of the word "deracinations" to create a sonic landscape of micro- and macroaggressions, assimilation, and self-doubt. A kaleidoscopic personal essay explores the racial positioning of Asian Americans and the epidemic of anti-Asian hate. Several poems titled "Study of Two Figures" anatomize and dissect the Asian other: Midas the striving, nouveau-riche father; Dr. Seuss and the imaginary daughter Chrysanthemum-Pearl he invented while authoring his anti-Japanese propaganda campaign; Pasiphaë, mother of the minotaur, and Sado, the eighteenth-century Korean prince, both condemned to containers allegorical and actual.

  Light at the Torn Horizon

  Paul Murray

  There is a fresh candor and a new ease of utterance in this fifth volume of poems by the Dominican writer Paul Murray. What most immediately impresses, in lyric after lyric, are the moments of quiet epiphany. But such moments of vision have not been easily achieved. Throughout the work, rather than avoid the “torn” and wounded areas of our lives, a range of feelings and experiences—unnamed, invading, threatening, desired—are courageously explored. In the end, the vision, the spiritual awareness that is attained, is the more persuasive and convincing for having first been tested.

  An unrepentant heart is heavy. 
  Widowed, lonely and angry, Claire feels that God has turned a blind eye to her. When her daughter becomes pregnant she acts on her pride and vanity, forcing the teenage girl to get rid of the baby. This choice creates a wedge between mother and daughter - and further distances Claire from God.     
  Believing that she’s a hopeless cause and peace is unattainable, she willingly accepts her probable death when a car accident leaves her sinking in the murky Jim River waters.   
  Then the boy appears, taking her by the hand and leading her down a path of self-reflection and healing, in a world unlike anything she’s ever seen. Claire discovers the truth about the past, faces off with her pride and finds that God has been pursuing her through it all. Using even the most dire of situations to draw her closer to Him. 
  A hard-to-put-down, thought provoking novel about redemptive love and true forgiveness from a God who celebrates with us in times of joy and agonizes with us in times of difficulty. A God who seeks to restore to us what was lost or stolen and redeem us with His powerful grace. 
  What people are saying:  
  “Male or female, young or old, this story will move you.” 
  “If you’ve ever wrestled with forgiveness or grappled with faith, this book will gently guide you toward true peace.” 
  “An uplifting, amazing life message.”
