Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien
by Valentina RomanettiComo si el final no estuviera escrito, como si fuera la última vez, Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien es mi declaración de amor. Soy Alba Pariente Bueno, nací en Rueda (Valladolid), tengo veintidós años y muchos sueños por cumplir. Estudio Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas, y la vida me ha traído a Madrid. Cuando era pequeña jugaba en el Parque Los Poetas. ¿Casualidad? No lo sé. Con nueve años escribí mis primeros poemas, y en plena adolescencia la vida me volvió a conducir a la poesía. Así nació Valentina Romanetti, mi voz silenciosa, pero la que más grita. Valentina es la valentía de Alba, y Romanetti es una bonita manera de decir que aun estando en ruinas, como Roma, puedes ser preciosa. Y esa valentía se transformó en las páginas de Vorágine, mi primer libro. Ahora, en Antes de que nuestros corazones se incendien, amaremos como si el final no estuviera escrito, como si fuera la última vez que el corazón nos deja hacerlo.

Anterooms also features masterly translations from Mallarmé's "The Tomb of Edgar Allan Poe," a previously unpublished Verlaine poem, two poems by Joseph Brodsky, and thirty-seven of Symphosius's clever Latin riddles.Whether he is considering a snow shovel and domestic life or playfully considering that "Inside homeowner is the word meow," Wilbur's new collection is sure to delight everyone from longtime devotees to casual poetry readers. Exploring the interplay between the everyday and the mythic, the sobering and the lighthearted, Anterooms is nothing less than an event in poetic history and a remarkable addition to a master's oeuvre.
Anterdaah
by Ramsagar SharmaThe poet sees a dream about changing earth and sky. Although it has no direct links with the real world, it makes a good attempt to let people know that they are always indebted to their motherland and this debt can't be ever paid.
Anteparaíso
by Raúl ZuritaVersión definitiva de un libro fundamental de Raúl Zurita, una obra una cumbre de la poesía en lengua castellana. Cuando Anteparaíso se publicó originalmente en 1982 supuso el arribo a cimas y el descenso a abismos impensados para la poesía en lengua castellana. Esta edición, que al cabo de cuarenta años el autor presenta en su “versión final”, revela cómo toda su alucinada energía, su violencia y su belleza desgarradas siguen no solo intactas, sino multiplicadas en los paisajes y amores, en los sueños y cielos que pueblan sus páginas.
Antarpatt

The Ant and the Grasshopper: An Aesop's Fable (Rigby PM Collection Ruby (Levels 27-28), Fountas & Pinnell Select Collections Grade 3 Level Q)

Another Way to Play: Poems 1960-2017
by Michael Lally Eileen MylesThe collected works of a poet who bridges the rhythms and message of the beats, the disarming frankness of the New York School, and the fierce temerity of activist authors throughout the ages.From a '60s-era verse letter to John Coltrane to a 2017 examination of Life After Trump, Another Way to Play collects more than a half century of engaged, accessible, and deeply felt poetry from a writer both iconoclastic and embedded in the American tradition. In the vein of William Carlos Williams and Frank O'Hara, Lally eschews formality in favor of a colloquial idiom that pops straight from the page into the reader's synapses. This is the definitive collection of verse from a poet who has been around the world and back again: verse from the streets, from the the political arena, from Hollywood, from the depths of the underground, and from everywhere in between. Lally is not a poet of any one school or style, but a poet of his own inner promptings; whether casual, impassioned, or ironic, his words are unmistakably his own. Here is a poet who can hold two opposed ideas in mind simultaneously, and fuse them, with pathos and humor, into his own idiosyncratic verbal art. As Lally himself writes: "I suffered, I starved, and so did my kids, / I did what I did for poetry I thought /and I never sold out, and even when I did / nobody bought."
Another Reason
by Carl DennisFrom the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ruth Lilly Prize The poems in Carl Dennis’s new collection Another Reason assume that our efforts to reason with ourselves and with others about what matters to us are necessary to escape the purely private point of view, to provide the houses we live in with doors and windows. These poems enact a drama of attempted persuasion, as the poet confers with himself, with intimates, and with strangers, if only in the hope that by defining differences more precisely one may be drawn into a genuine dialogue. As the poet asserts and questions his own authority, encountering a wide range of competing claims from other voices, we find ourselves included in a conversation that deepens our notion of the human community. .

Another Gravity
by Don MckayFrom one of Canada’s most acclaimed poets and the winner of the Governor General’s Award for Poetry. This book, Don McKay’s ninth collection, practises "the dark art of reflection" – which, as one of the poems tells us, whether boldly or capriciously, could not have existed without the moon – as it moves ever more deeply into ideas of home.
AnOther E.E. Cummings
by E. E. Cummings Richard Kostelanetz<P>An eye-opening selection of Cumming's more avant-garde poetry and prose. <P>As a poet, Cummings was a pioneer not only in linguistic and typographic inventions, but also in sound and concrete poetry. But his prose is no less experimental; he wrote memoirs, essays, and fiction that are constantly provocative and often radically experimental. <P>To read the avant-garde Cummings is to read a writer who consistently broke with established norms, "never to rest and never to have: only to grow." To not read the avant-garde Cummings is to not read Cummings. <P>Adjusting type size may change line breaks. Landscape mode may help to preserve line breaks.
Another Day's Journey
by Lois CloudWe all go through journeys in our lives and often feel that we are on this journey alone. It is nice to know that the everyday ups and downs are the experiences that can make us or break us. When we walk in someone else’s shoes for a bit we can sympathize, laugh, cry, agree or disagree and at that point know that we are not alone in this life’s journey. We keep going, we keep living, and we keep experiencing the journeys in our lives that make us who we aspire to be, who we want to be and who we are. Look at your life and the journeys you are going through and think of all the roads to come, then realize that your past experiences are the things that motivate your future journeys. Love, peace, joy, and happiness are journeys that we should have every day. But we do not! Walk with me through a couple of journeys in my life.
Another America/Otra America
by Barbara KingsolverFrom a bestselling and beloved author, an intensely personal collection of poetry &“rich with political and human resonance&” (Ursula K. LeGuin)Before becoming the bestselling author we know today, Barbara Kingsolver, as a new college graduate in search of adventure, moved to the borderlands of Tucson, Arizona. What she found, she says, was &“another America.&”Interweaving past political events, from the US-backed dictatorships in South America to the government surveillance carried out in the Reagan years, Kingsolver&’s early poetry expands into a broader examination of the racism, discrimination, and immigration system she witnessed at close range. The poems coalesce in a record of her emerging adulthood, in which she confronts the hypocrisy of the national myth of America—a confrontation that would come to shape her not only as an artist, but as a citizen. With a new introduction from Kingsolver that reflects on the current border crisis, Another America is a striking portrait of a country deeply divided between those with privilege and those without, and the lives of urgent purpose that may be carved out in between.
Los años 50

Anonymity Suite
by David McfaddenAnonymity Suite reaffirms David McFadden’s reputation as one of the more interesting and completely enjoyable voices in Canadian poetry. Like a Pre-Raphaelite painter, he is able to join various objects, experiences, voices, and moods in a single canvas. A poem may begin with someone studying Italian on the shore of Lake Como, or drinking kava with firewalkers in the South Seas, and end up with Kelly Gruber and the notorious Skydome heckler. Formally, this is very much a suite of poems, using images from nature, history, and culture to unite thematic strands dealing with sentimentality and anonymity, joy and grief, personality and universality, and a wealth of philosophical and ethical concerns.
Anodyne
by Khadijah QueenThe poems that make up Anodyne consider the small moments that enrapture us alongside the daily threats of cataclysm. Formally dynamic and searingly personal, Anodyne asks us to recognize the echoes of history that litter the landscape of our bodies as we navigate a complex terrain of survival and longing. With an intimate and multivocal dexterity, these poems acknowledge the simultaneous existence of joy and devastation, knowledge and ignorance, grief and love, endurance and failure—all of the contrast and serendipity that comes with the experience of being human. If the body is a world, or a metaphor for the world, for what disappears and what remains, for what we feel and what we cover up, then how do we balance fate and choice, pleasure and pain? Through a combination of formal lyrics, delicate experiments, sharp rants, musical litany, and moments of wit that uplift and unsettle, Queen’s poems show us the terrible consequences and stunning miracles of how we choose to live.

Annulments (Colorado Prize for Poetry)
by Zach SavichWinner of the 2010 Colorado Prize for Poetry Published by the Center for Literary Publishing at Colorado State University
Annulments
by Zach SavichWinner of the 2010 Colorado Prize for Poetry. "It is the poet who, undistracted by the imbecile telegraphy of this moment, dares to sustain a sustaining sound I most esteem and most warmly embrace. Zach Savich has written a book both intimate and vast, both tender and acidly candid. And with his long poem, 'The Mountains Overhead,' he has entered that visionary company of poets who, by overturning Babel, lay the heavens at our feet." --Donald Revell "Sparse, spare, these lines nonetheless overflow with a sheer and brilliant imagination- 'The crows: hearing our voices through wires'; 'the horses hold themselves like torches'; 'the sun a dial tone . . .' The tension between minimalism of form and maximalism of concept and feeling gives this work a vivid, oddly crystalline, momentum. The central long poem unfolds one small leaf at a time, yet resists accumulation; instead it presents us again and again with the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the slightly uncanny: what would it be to sing instead of to say? This book gives us an intimation." --Cole Swensen
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (Routledge Revivals)
by Margaret MareFirst published in 1965, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff is the first book about the great German poetess of the early nineteenth century in English. Delicate, fey, over-sensitive, unstable, with the intellect often described as unbecomingly masculine, it is easy to see how Annette von Droste-Hülshoff was bound to flout the conventions of the conservative society she lived in and to suffer accordingly. But melancholy and despairing as many of her poems are, we are never allowed to imagine her as a weak person. Margaret Mare is careful to show us her trenchant humour, her gift of mimicry, her generosity to her friends, the resolution which made her refuse, in the middle of a dangerous illness, to treat herself ‘like a soap bubble or a soft egg’—giving us a full picture of the woman of genius who could prophesy confidently that her works would still be read a hundred years after her death. Divided into three parts the book deals with the poet’s life and background, detailed interpretations of selected poems, and, the poet’s treatment of supernatural themes, her epics and prose works, her style and use of images. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of poetry, literature, German literature, European literature, and comparative literature.
Anne Sexton: A Self-Portrait in Letters
by Anne Sexton Linda Gray Sexton Lois AmesA revealing collection of letters from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anne Sexton While confessional poet Anne Sexton included details of her life and battle with mental illness in her published work, her letters to family, friends, and fellow poets provide an even more intimate glimpse into her private world. Selected from thousands of letters and edited by Linda Gray Sexton, the poet's daughter, and Lois Ames, one of her closest friends, this collection exposes Sexton's inner life from her boarding school days through her years of growing fame and ultimately to the months leading up to her suicide. Correspondence with writers like W. D. Snodgrass, Robert Lowell, and May Swenson reveals Sexton's growing confidence in her identity as a poet as she discusses her craft, publications, and teaching appointments. Her private letters chart her marriage to Alfred "Kayo" Sexton, from the giddy excitement following their elopement to their eventual divorce; her grief over the death of her parents; her great love for her daughters balanced with her frustration with the endless tasks of being a housewife; and her persistent struggle with depression. Going beyond the angst and neuroses of her poetry, these letters portray the full complexities of the woman behind the art: passionate, anguished, ambitious, and yearning for connection.
