Made to Explode: Poems
Author: Sandra Beasley
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393531619
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
With lacerating honesty, technical mastery, and abiding compassion, Made to Explode offers volatile poems for our volatile times. In her fourth collection, acclaimed poet Sandra Beasley interrogates the landscapes of her life in decisive, fearless, and precise poems that fuse intimacy and intensity. She probes memories of growing up in Virginia, in Thomas Jefferson’s shadow, where liberal affluence obscured and perpetuated racist aggressions, but where the poet was simultaneously steeped in the cultural traditions of the American South. Her home in Washington, DC, inspires prose poems documenting and critiquing our capital’s institutions and monuments. In these poems, Ruth Bader Ginsberg shows up at the Folger Shakespeare Theatre’s show of Kiss Me Kate; Albert Einstein is memorialized on Constitution Avenue, yet was denied clearance for the Manhattan Project; as temperatures cool, a rain of spiders drops from the dome of the Jefferson Memorial. A stirring suite explores Beasley’s affiliation with the disability community and her frustration with the ways society codes disability as inferiority. Quintessentially American and painfully timely, these poems examine legacies of racism and whiteness, the shadow of monuments to a world we are unmaking, and the privileges the poet is working to untangle. Made to Explode boldly reckons with Beasley’s roots and seeks out resonance in society writ large.

Poetic Inquiry
Author: Sandra L. Faulkner
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351044214
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Poetic Inquiry: Craft, Method and Practice examines the use of poetry as a form of qualitative research, representation, and method used by researchers, practitioners, and students from across the social sciences and humanities. It serves as a practical manual for using poetry in qualitative research through the presentation of varied examples of Poetic Inquiry. It provides how-to exercises for developing and using poetry as a qualitative research method. The book begins by mapping out what doing and critiquing Poetic Inquiry entails via a discussion of the power of poetry, poets’, and researchers’ goals for the use of poetry, and the kinds of projects that are best suited for Poetic Inquiry. It also provides descriptions of the process and craft of creating Poetic Inquiry, and suggestions for how to evaluate and engage with Poetic Inquiry. The book further contends with questions of method, process, and craft from poets’ and researchers’ perspectives. It shows the implications for the aesthetic and epistemic concerns in poetry, and furthers transdisciplinary dialogues between the humanities and social sciences. Faulkner shows the importance of considering the form and function of Poetic Inquiry in qualitative research through discussions of poetry as research method, poetry as qualitative analysis and representation, and Poetic Inquiry as a powerful research tool.

Attack of the Fifty-Foot Centerfold

Category : Feminist poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. These poems are steam punk on steroids. They're plutonium-powered and neon-lit. These poems describe the world as it should be, as we want it to be, as we fear it will be, as it is every morning between 3:00 and 5:00 when our dreams are invaded by Godzilla, Tarzan, Wonder Woman, King Kong, Sinatra. If ATTACK OF THE FIFTY-FOOT CENTERFOLD were a holiday, it'd be Hallowe'en for grown-ups, Christmas for space aliens, and the Fourth of July for everybody, because each of these poems is a little present, and like the best presents, they don't just please us--they set us free.

Hallelujah Blackout
Author: Alex Lemon
Publisher: Milkweed Editions
ISBN: 1571314318
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Alex Lemon's work defies categorization. Stark juxtaposition of images evokes the New York School, verbal collages suggest the associative method of the postmodernists, and his playful attention to sound recalls elements of Language School poetry. While these elements surface in Lemon's work, his poetry remains profoundly original, his voice remarkably distinct. Lemon is also, like Frank O'Hara, an autobiographical poet, using the materials of life for inspiration. At 29, he is already a survivor of brain surgery. Still coping with the surgery's effects, including a gradual loss of vision, he invokes, proclaims, decries, and serenades the world that results after the violation of identity. When the membranes that divide mind and body rupture, the result is not a void, but a strange sensory landscape where all stimuli exist on the same level. Avoiding the easy temptations of both despair and consolation, Hallelujah Blackout embraces the full range of the human experience.

My Girl's Green Jacket
Author: Mary Meriam
Publisher: Headmistress Press
ISBN: 9780998761084
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
In ambitious and dextrous poems employing a variety of formal guises, Mary Meriam creates for us an impressionistic yet incisive vision of love and loss in her powerful new collection, My Girl's Green Jacket. Recalling the sonnets of John Donne and the religious ballads of Christina Rossetti, Meriam's assured poems pulse with a channeled intensity, leading us as readers through an emotional and intellectual landscape . . . A collection as brilliant as it is emotionally nuanced, My Girl's Green Jacket offers us a complex imaginative mirror to hold up against our current reality. -Stu Watson editor of Prelude Lush, acrobatic, heartbroken, and witty by turns, or all at once, Mary Meriam's poems pack plot, memory, landscape, and longing into firm and elegant shapes. To call this work formally accomplished isn't sufficient. Meriam's lyricism is nervous and incandescent; her poems coruscate and spin. My Girl's Green Jacket honors not only the urgency of desire but also its mercurial restlessness. Poetic forebears ranging from Sappho to Hopkins, from H.D. to Marilyn Hacker, turn out to be not only generative models but also anchors in a world of relentless change. -Rachel Hadas author of Poems for Camilla The poems in this extraordinary collection shimmer with light and color, vibrate in the imagination with almost hallucinatory effect. They reach the reader, through the intimate short-cuts of the senses, so powerfully that the gorgeous, daring language feels inevitable-just right-even as it leaves objective order behind . . . Poem after poem in a rich variety of expertly handled forms-"The Mockers," "Ars Poetica," "Dusk," for instance-reveals the nature of love: its capacity to sow guilt, regret, longing, obsessive memory, fantasy; its tendency to inhabit every thought, experience, and sensation, and not only with our permission, but at our insistence. -Rhina P. Espaillat author of And After All and Agua de dos ríos/ Water from Two Rivers Mary Meriam's My Girl's Green Jacket is rich in description, rhymes and rhythms, bedecked in vivid color and emotions undimmed by the veneer of irony that shellacs so many contemporary poems. Like the moon she describes in "It Gets Very Dark until the Moon Rises," Meriam's songs, stories, prayers, fairy tales, ghazals and love-cries shine, grow, and give the dark a dream. -Joy Ladin author of Fireworks in the Graveyard This stunning collection of verse by Mary Meriam presents a palette of poems in various hues and forms . . . a spectrum of color reflects this poet's sense of loss and longing through a synesthesia that helps us hear, taste, and feel pigmentation as thought and emotion . . . Meriam notices the world quietly, yet vibrantly, alive to its potency, and we savor it too, dazzled by the poet's keen, discerning eye. -Janice Gould author of The Force of Gratitude Awe is equal parts nightmare and pleasure. Awe, in the hands of a poet, is exquisitely and horrifyingly impassioned. Mary Meriam's My Girl's Green Jacket writes the labor of our awe. Meriam stealthily interrogates our humanity by way of near-perfect poetic form . . . Meriam writes: "Nothing normal has ever happened to me." I say: Thank God. -kathryn l. pringle author of obscenity for the advancement of poetry
