To Go Into the Words
Author: Norman Finkelstein
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472221302
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
To Go Into the Words is the latest book of critical prose from renowned poet and scholar of Jewish literature Norman Finkelstein. Through a rigorous examination of poets such as William Bronk, Helen Adam, and Nathaniel Mackey, the book engages the contemporary poetic fascination with transcendence through the radical delight with language. By opening up a given poem, Finkelstein seeks the “gnosis” or insight of what it contains so that other readers can understand and appreciate the works even more. Pulling from Finkelstein’s experience of writing thirteen books of poetry and six books of literary criticism, To Go Into the Words consistently rewards the reader with insights as transformative as they are well-considered and deftly mapped out. This volume opens the world of poetry to poets, scholars, and readers by showcasing “the gnosis that is to be found in modern poetry.”

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Twin witch sisters Bella and Donna peek into the future in this fourth book in the middle grade series that’s Wizards of Waverly Place meets Halloweentown. There’s a psychic visiting at YIKESSS, and twin witches Bella and Dee are fascinated to hear her speak at a school assembly. True clairvoyance is a rare trait, even in the supernatural community, and they’ve never met one before—and likely won’t ever again. Except the son of the new owners of Scary Good Shakes seems to be eerily good at diverting disasters before they happen, like when he catches a tray right before it falls or when he stopped Charlie from eating garlic, which, as a vampire, they’re highly allergic too. When Bella and Dee start to notice more evidence that supports Henry being clairvoyant, they realize another psychic might be in their midst. And he’s human. And he has no idea of his powers, or that supernatural beings even exist…

A Matter of Grave Concern
Author: Brenda Novak
Publisher: Brenda Novak, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
When Maximillian Wilder hides his noble identity and joins the notorious body snatchers known as the London Supply Company, the last thing on his mind is love. He’s worried about Madeline, his vanished half sister, who was last seen in the company of Jack Hurtsill, the gang’s conscienceless leader. Raiding graveyards, stealing corpses, and selling them to medical colleges as dissection material is dirty work, but Max knows he must gain Jack’s trust. He’s determined to find out what happened to Madeline—and to bring Jack to justice if she was murdered for the coin her body could earn. Beautiful, spirited Abigail Hale, daughter of the surgeon at Aldersgate School of Medicine, detests the challenging, hard-bargaining Max almost as much as Jack. But she must procure the necessary specimens if she is to save the college and her father’s career. She believes she is going to be successful—until Jack double-crosses her. Then she’s swept into a plot of danger and intrigue, one where Max must intervene to protect her, no matter the risk to his plan…or his heart. “Novak expertly weaves powerful characters into a complex plot set in a skillfully crafted 1830s London underworld.... (An) entertaining page-turner.” —Publishers’ Weekly on A Matter of Grave Concern “[F]ascinating... a danger-rich, deliciously sexy thrill ride that will have readers hooked from the first page to the last.” —Booklist on A Matter of Grave Concern

The Puppet King and Other Atonements
Author: Justin A. Burnett
Publisher: Trepidatio Publishing
ISBN: 1685100481
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
“Bleak, melancholy, and intelligent like the best by Thomas Ligotti and Jon Padgett, these tales unmistakably come from a deep, personal place and will best resonate with searchers after metaphysical horrors.” —Dejan Ognjanović, RUE MORGUE The Puppet King and Other Atonements conjures a horrific universe of puppets, labyrinths, and liminal spaces. Over the span of fourteen Borgesian terrors, Justin A. Burnett inhabits the strange borderlands between intimacy and isolation, fiction and philosophy, reality and nightmare. Sprouting from the blackened landscape of weird writers such as Thomas Ligotti, Jon Padgett, and Brian Evenson, this collection is a bleak, unflinching gaze into the vertiginous depths of the nonhuman. “A collection brimming with sublime torments. Burnett masterfully grasps the transcendent grotesque, weaving tales charged with cosmic danger. A refreshing and powerful new voice in contemporary dread.” —Rebecca Gransden, author of SEA OF GLASS “Burnett takes you through a journey of contrasts. At once delicate and painfully intimate, yet vast, reverberant and strange, The Puppet King and Other Atonements draws the reader deep into the primordial to the very edge of the stars. Highly recommended.” —Emma J. Gibbon, author of DARK BLOOD COMES FROM THE FEET
