  • af Robin Behn
    288,95 kr.

    A son is born early, as if coming up over the horizon before his own dawn. An elderly father lingers at life's other horizon. These poems use language which is dense and clear, playful and sombre, with an emotional amplitude which is suggestive of Behn's own musical training.

  • af Anna George Meek
    168,95 kr.

    Winner of the 2002 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, this collection explores the gestures of hurtfulness and compassion. Whether set in a shelter for battered women, in the midst of a political demonstration, or at the centre of an orchestra, the poems pursue the place of language in an injurous world.

  • af Angela Sorby
    168,95 kr.

    Shuttling between the Upper Midwest and the Pacific Northwest, this collection of poems explores how the radical instability of the world is also the source of its energy.

  • af Betsy Andrews
    158,95 - 278,95 kr.

    A book-length poem that pounds the pavement of the New Jersey Turnpike, driving through America - past land-fills and wetlands and weapons labs - under the towering shadows of engines, oil, and war.

  • af Joanne Diaz
    178,95 kr.

    Winner of the 2014 Brittingham Prize in Poetry Crossing many geographies and eras, the poems of My Favorite Tyrants lyrically explore why tyranny is so compelling, even seductive. Joanne Diaz's powerful and provocative collection is marked by the exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated by larger, more despotic forces.

  • af Christina Stoddard
    223,95 kr.

    This is a remarkable debut collection of poems about brutality, exaltation, rebellion, and allegiance. Written in the voice of a teenage Mormon girl, these poems chronicle an inheritance of daily violence and closely guarded secrets. A cast of recurring characters move through these poems as the speaker struggles with the gulf between her impulse toward faith and her growing doubts about the people who claim to know God's will.
