193,95 kr. George Wallace - winner of the First International Poetry Festival O¿RPHEUS - PLOVDIV 2018 with his poem 'Orpheus on the Elbrus' - is one of the best contemporary world's poets I have ever read. His poetry is like a message from God, but it isn't enough to say that because while plenty of poets think that they write under God's dictation, to hear the message, to catch the message, is different. In its energy, a sliver of the Beats (A hundred years among the daisies). In its reflectiveness, a particle of the Postmodernists (Letters from Vincent). But the essence of this strong masculine poetry is the Message - the message to the people, the message to the future, like a man who dies twice does not die / at all, he is Lazarus, he comes back to life, reborn. This is a poetry written in the language of the Prophets. This is a poetry with contempt for the oods of the world - the seas and rivers, time and memory, history and the future - in their present tense. The real message of this poetry is its attempt to unite a divided world.-Anton Baev, poet, writer, Chairman, Plovdiv Writers' Union

143,95 kr. Caitlin Johnson''s Delta offers her readers a vision, at once both poetic and scientific, that serves to encourage and echo forward our calling to pay close attention to the world nearest us and the people with whom we surround ourselves. The collection offers a poetics of place, putting landscape, memory, and nature in conversation with ideas about war, history, chemistry (both scientific and romantic), and the canon. Her poems capture loss and joy, and invite readers to consider the ways our bodies, minds, and even souls are shaped by our space and our time. Her trilogy of poems featuring Joan of Arc, especially, highlights Johnson''s ability to reflect truths, to create visions, and to embrace voices otherwise overlooked. I find her work engaging, exciting, and tense-in the best possible way. Each line, each image, each stanza is taut with meaning and significance, without relying on laborious or overwrought tones. Note the layered impact of her collection''s title: Delta, with meanings related to science, mathematics, Classical culture, military culture, as well as Southern spaces. Cate''s work consistently rewards multiple readings, varied considerations, and the careful, deliberate, and joyful approach of a reader looking for new ideas in conversation with old, elemental spaces.[Kristi Pope Key, Director of Academic Services, Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts]***Caitlin Johnson''s Delta takes on a variety of subjects and themes-artistic, literary, scientific, and social-in a bold voice that is also darkly funny. She isn''t like Plath, Sexton, or Parker; she is herself, but these poets come to mind. Interwoven throughout the book are lyrics inspired by the periodic table; snapshots of U.S. cities that convey place in just a few lines; ruminations on historical and literary figures-Joan of Arc, Macbeth-sympathetic but unsentimental portraits of soldiers; and (among my favorites) love and anti-love poems. "Letter to the Stepdaughter I Might Have Had" addresses a "you" who "hate[s] me. I can respect that," in the voice of someone who may be too fiercely independent for the role of wife. In "Disappearances," an ex-lover "smelled of nothing- / nothing, & I wonder / if he existed at all. In Delta, Johnson distills her wide reading and life observations with candor and wit.[Deborah Diemont, author of The Charmed House and Diverting Angels]***Reading Delta is like walking into a boudoir with a shattered mirror, its pieces reflecting those of us left brittle, breaking, and told to like it when men play with edged tools and cut their own fingers. Lonely travelers will recognize themselves in these poems even as the poet takes the broken pieces and cuts delicately into our unsuspecting hearts.[Lisa Hosokawa Garber, author of Crosswind]

168,95 kr. "Wide ranging, thoughtful, intelligent, at times elegiac, surreal, and humorous, Chase Dimock''s Sentinel Species is a collection of poems that, as its title suggests, watches over the varied life forms on our planet, from animals and plants to humans. At the heart of Dimock''s project is compassion towards all beings, especially those on the fringes of society and culture. In excavating the stories of the under-represented or the forgotten, Dimock gives them voice and thus dignity. This is a beautiful, at times painful, but always inclusive, generous, and tender book." - Bunkong Tuon, poet and associate professor of English, Union College "Chase Dimock''s Sentinel Species is bursting with life. The animals, insects, and plants that populate these poems--alive or dead, thriving or in decline--provide startling gateways into explorations of human existence. Dimock''s poems examine memory, culture, and the fundamental yearning that comes with being alive through a joyously dizzy array of extended metaphors and associations. These are poems that speak to the fundamental dignity of the living, and celebrate the emotional and intellectual flora and fauna of the everyday." -James Brubaker, author of The Taxidermist''s Catalog and Black Magic Death Sphere: (science) fictions."Honest, clear sighted, and masterfully written, this is a beautiful and important book which gives voice to the creatures that we love and may lose. Chase''s remarkable knowledge of endangered species is coupled with a charm, wit and inventiveness which makes this a delightful read and one which engenders empathy by showing what we share withthe animal world, not least in the shape of Koko the Gorilla who asks god why she was given knuckles that drag the ground and a mind that questions the sky.-Anna Saunders, CEO Cheltenham Poetry Festval and author of six collections including Ghosting for Beginners ( Indigo Dreams ).

208,95 kr. "Stolte shows us his favorite parts of hell with calm enthusiasm. His love affair with perdition cools with distance from the inferno, but still proves eternal. There is humor and humility in this complex (but not convoluted) collection of street-kid war stories and dope sick love letters. It reads like a lullaby for the damned." -Ezhno Martín, founding editor EMP Books "Nathanael William Stolte always has room for you in his heart. It's warm and metaphysical in there, so be sure to bring your slippers and a flask. Stolte is the everyday-man's man, writing of a simple and humble life. He is often brave enough to call people out on their shit (including his own), writing, "Being wrong is a universal human condition." His short pieces land like grenades and his longer pieces spin tales of the intricacies of aging, the nature of perspective, and lessons necessary for becoming a better person. Wherever Stolte may be, I am confident that he is experiencing and writing about that place in its most beautifully authentic form. Like the city, this collection is dirty and tough, mysterious and sentimental. Stolte characterizes his collection well when he writes, "It's cold / my feet are wet & / I wouldn't change a thing." " -Linzi Garcia, author of Thank You "Some poets are born of the fire that makes the world in all of its beautiful doom, Stolte is one of those poets - let him sing." -RA Washington, author of BLACK Eunuch

378,95 kr. This full-color poetry book by Rebecca Schumejda features a single long-form poem about the incarceration of her brother and its rippling effects across their family. Includes artworks by Hosho McCreesh."How do you forgive the unforgivable? This is the question Rebecca Schumejda wrestles with, on a grand scale, in this emotionally taut, tightly structured, intensely personal poem. Using a slow reveal, the poet dispenses morsels of information, with regard to the nature of the crime, and her struggles with coping with her love for her brother who committed it and, finally, the heinous nature of what he did, until we learn, as well, what happened. She asks, among the many effective refrains, "What if you had died that night?" Somehow life could have been easier if he had. Maybe. I know how she feels. I've been there: different relative, similar crime. Something Like Forgiveness is not simply a must read, it is an experience." -Alan Catlin, poet, editor Misfit Magazinebios: Rebecca Schumejda is the author of several full-length ollections including Falling Forward (sunnyoutside press), Cadillac Men (NYQ Books), Waiting at the Dead End Diner (Bottom Dog Press) and most recently Our One-Way Street (NYQ Books). She is the co-editor at Trailer Park Quarterly. She received her MA in Poetics from San Francisco State University and her BA from SUNY New Paltz.

193,95 kr. Erica Hoffmeister's Lived in Bars is an exquisite road trip across America's still-feral landscapes and people. The poems are a woman's experience in lostness and finding: brutal and benevolent, in crisis and of tremendous grit. "There were certain things you lived with, and certain things you lived without." Perhaps this taut line best describes the push/pull and lived duality that Erica Hoffmeister writes about in Lived In Bars. There is an urgency to understand the past, home, and lives like that straddle the line of the academic and the tender of the bar, the patron and the daughter, the lover and the one who stands firmly and demands to be loved here, now, in this haze of smoke and with this traveling past. What I mean is Hoffmeister is standing at the edge of the poetic form, at the edge of past and future, at the red rocks in Utah and the wet trees by the ocean in Charleston, begging us to look closer at our seedy underbellies, our histories as they are, our drunken arms open on the road without denial, without shame, with sound and sense and the poetry in everything. - Tara Shea Burke, author of Animal Like Any Other (Finishing Line Press, 2019)bio: Erica Hoffmeister grew up in Southern California, but has been chasing that elusive concept of home since she witnessed the vast, east Texan sky bloom on her very first cross-country road trip at the age of seven. She is the author of the prize-winning chapbook Roots Grew Wild (Kingdoms in the Wild, 2019), holds an MFA from Chapman University, and teaches college English. She writes in a variety of genres, from poetry to creative non-fiction, flash and even young adult fiction, and has been published in several journals and magazines. She has received an honorable mention for the Lorian Hemingway Award for Short Fiction (2014), was named a runner-up for the Janet B. McCabe Poetry Prize (2016), and has been nominated for Best of the Net. For now, she resides in Denver with her husband and two young daughters and perpetually misses home - wherever that feels like at the time. You can learn more about her and her work at www.ericarhoffmeister.com.

Titillating, controversial, antagonistic and endearingly personal, these poems and short fiction pieces travel a wide gamut of human experience. For better or for worse, McDaris is rightfully held alongside such beats as Bukowski and Ginsberg.
