Book Description
About the Book: This is a book of lyrical poetry written over many years that experiments with different genres of poetical presentations on life, love and relatable personal experiences. The range is not limited to personal emotions but expands into seeking realism. If Life and Love is made up of events and emotions, it's made complicated with realism that makes these events and emotions ambiguous and relative. Uncertainty and change is explored in many different ways that attempts to bring a sense of humour, hope and warmth to the discerning reader. A broad sample of feelings and sentiments are at display that reflects the author's view of our enigmatic life we have been dragged into against our wishes. The events, emotions and experience have been hemmed into poetical words that, hopefully, the reader shares a similar perspective and interprets it earnestly. About the Author: P. N. Nageswaran (Nages) read Natural Sciences, the Classics and Business Administration. He has expertise in government, consumer, and technology sectors, but his primary interests lie in philosophy, science, and poetry. He is an iconoclast and humanist who believes that human reason is vital in building a reasonable and compassionate society. Nages currently lives in Sydney, Australia.

The Girls at 17 Swann Street
Author: Yara Zgheib
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250202469
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
*A BookMovement Group Read* **A People Pick for Best New Books** Yara Zgheib’s poetic and poignant debut novel is a haunting portrait of a young woman’s struggle with anorexia on an intimate journey to reclaim her life. The chocolate went first, then the cheese, the fries, the ice cream. The bread was more difficult, but if she could just lose a little more weight, perhaps she would make the soloists’ list. Perhaps if she were lighter, danced better, tried harder, she would be good enough. Perhaps if she just ran for one more mile, lost just one more pound. Anna Roux was a professional dancer who followed the man of her dreams from Paris to Missouri. There, alone with her biggest fears – imperfection, failure, loneliness – she spirals down anorexia and depression till she weighs a mere eighty-eight pounds. Forced to seek treatment, she is admitted as a patient at 17 Swann Street, a peach pink house where pale, fragile women with life-threatening eating disorders live. Women like Emm, the veteran; quiet Valerie; Julia, always hungry. Together, they must fight their diseases and face six meals a day. Every bite causes anxiety. Every flavor induces guilt. And every step Anna takes toward recovery will require strength, endurance, and the support of the girls at 17 Swann Street.

Category : New Zealand poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The breath held or expelled in wonder, frustration or delight energises Emma Neale's writing. Poems in The Truth Garden take risks because they need to; in the clamour of family life they have required attention, collected thought and a spirited attitude. How else to "stockpile time, how hoard its shine," except in poems drawn from relationships, home and garden and cast in words that "spill like incandescence around your hands." - Cilla McQueen, 2011 Kathleen Grattan Award judge *** The Truth Garden is a beautifully produced collection of poetry that won the Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry 2011. The award was established with a bequest by Jocelyn Grattan, in memory of her mother, who was a poet, journalist, and editor.

Additionally, the book is illustrated by Kathryn Madill and designed by Fiona Moffat.

Hotel Almighty
Author: Sarah J. Sloat
Publisher: Sarabande Books
ISBN: 1946448656
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Visually arresting and utterly one-of-a-kind, Sarah J. Sloat's Hotel Almighty is a book-length erasure of Misery by Stephen King, a reimagining of the novel's themes of constraint and possibility in elliptical, enigmatic poems. Here, "joy would crawl over broken glass, if that was the way." Here, sleep is “a circle whose diameter might be small," a circle "pitifully small," a "wrecked and empty hypothetical circle." Paired with Sloat's stunning mixed-media collage, each poem is a miniature canvas, a brief associative profile of the psyche—its foibles, obsessions, and delights.

The Word that Causes Death's Defeat
Author: Anna Andreevna Akhmatova
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300103779
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), one of twentieth-century Russia’s greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced. This book presents Nancy K. Anderson’s superb translations of three of Akhmatova’s most important poems: Requiem, a commemoration of the victims of Stalin’s Terror; The Way of All the Earth, a work to which the poet returned repeatedly over the last quarter-century of her life and which combines Old Russian motifs with the modernist search for a lost past; and Poem Without a Hero, widely admired as the poet’s magnum opus. Each poem is accompanied by extensive commentary. The complex and allusive Poem Without a Hero is also provided with an extensive critical commentary that draws on the poet’s manuscripts and private notebooks. Anderson offers relevant facts about the poet’s life and an overview of the political and cultural forces that shaped her work. The resulting volume enables English-language readers to gain a deeper level of understanding of Akhmatova’s poems and how and why they were created.
