Tidal Pools and Other Small Infinities
by Kristen Costello"You'll walk away with more gratitude for the slow burn of the healing process." — Alicia Cook, author of Sorry I Haven&’t Texted You BackTidal Pools and Other Small Infinities blurs the lines between endings and beginnings. The love story starts in the usual way: a whirlwind of confessions, late night conversations, and promises that seem sturdy. The years pass by, and novelty is replaced by a comforting routine – one that&’s difficult to walk away from when things take a toxic turn. This is a collection about bravery and evolution. It takes courage to leave behind the familiar. To question all the things that once seemed undeniably true. To learn to stand on your own and, in doing so, become who you were really meant to be. Endings can be the best beginnings…once you realize you have the power to create them.

El tiempo de nuestros días
by José Francisco VidalPoemas de toda una vida. De vez en cuando las musas hacen un aquelarre en mi cabeza. El resultado son los versos de este poemario. <P><P>Desde muy joven he sentido la necesidad de escribir como forma de exteriorizar mis sentimientos y sensaciones.

El tiempo, el azar y las mujeres
by Ismar EscobarDespués y hoy, solo será lo imposible empezado a realizarse, sin ataduras ni esclavitud, seamos libres para amarnos, amor mío, para amarnos, sin principios ni finales, solos, con la voracidad de amarnos. El tiempo, el azar y las mujeres no es una manera de mostrar el espejo de lo incomprensible. <P><P>Se abre paso por la vida de todos. En él habitan historias que cobran identidad entre sus páginas. Escribir es una forma de liberar y ser libre. Es dejar de ser uno para convertirse en todos. Este libro de poemas es solo un viaje a través del tiempo, el azar y las mujeres.
TIEMPOS DE CIUDAD Y OTROS POEMAS
by Vihang A. Naik Alejandro Camacho GonzálezVihang A. Naik arroja luz sobre la vida de una ciudad inmersa en sombras, gloria y miseria en Tiempos de ciudad y otros poemas. Se trata de una antología con sus poemas más intuitivos y filosóficos, dividida en seis partes: Canción de amor de un viajero es casi un cuaderno de bitácora; Hombres reflejados transciende las quimeras de la ciudad, en la que las gentes son volubles como el caminar de un cangrejo o los colores de un camaleón; El sendero de la sabiduría comprende los inicios de la meditación y el conocimiento; En la orilla recoge las sensaciones de futilidad, recuerdos, dolor, exilio y alienación del poeta en la orilla de la vida. El título de esta colección alude también a la última sección del poemario, en el que la ciudad se despliega como un mercado, como un cielo para los desalmados, como aljófares de cambio, y es observada en la penumbra, a medianoche, bajo la luz de la luna y a través del vaho y la niebla El poema "Autorretrato" comienza con un bosquejo esquemático, incluyendo siete páginas en blanco, donde el lector encuentra unas palabras sobre el final del poema. Aquí, el poeta visualiza, en un momento de epifanía, la verdadera naturaleza del yo cuando despierta y ve su "yo/ revelado más allá del pensamiento". Entre "Yo¨" y "revelado más allá del pensamiento" hay 5 páginas en blanco. La inefable epifanía de lo ambiguo. Puede sugerir el descubrimiento de un yo transcendental allende todo pensamiento y lenguaje, o quizás el descubrimiento de una Ausencia lejos del habla y pensamiento humanos. Reseñas: "La lectura de Tiempos de ciudad y otros poemas es una experiencia embriagadora y reveladora" - Readers' Favorite "Apuntando hacia la filosofía, incluso aspectos existenciales, estos versos amigos de lo ajeno dejan demasiado en lo no dicho." - Kirkus Reviews "Una obra recomendable y única." - Cate Baum

La tierra baldía (y Prufrock y otras observaciones): Edición y traducción de Andreu Jaume
by T. S. EliotEl mayor poema del siglo XX «La temible Tierra baldía de T. S. Eliot vuelve a vivir en la versión de Andreu Jaume.»Félix de Azúa, El País Además de ser el gran poema del siglo XX, La tierra baldía es una obra esencial para entender nuestro tiempo. Con una dicción y unas imágenes rompedoras, T.S. Eliot sabe cantar la devastación de la primera guerra mundial, la adecuación del hombre a la ciudad como nuevo y definitivo exilio de la naturaleza, el deseo difícil entre mujeres y hombres, y convocar a la vez las voces del pasado literario de Occidente. Pero más allá del intimidante virtuosismo técnico y de la intensidad estética que el poema desata, en estos versos emociona sobre todo la desnuda humanidad que estalla en silencio. Editado, prologado y traducido por Andreu Jaume, que también nos da su versión de Prufrock, el primer poemario de Eliot y referente indispensable para entender el resto de su poesía, este libro viene a recordarnos, cuando se cumplen cincuenta años de su muerte, la vigencia, la ambición y el ejemplo de un poeta, un crítico y un editor que consiguió crear una nueva visión del mundo contemporáneo.
La tierra de las grullas (Land of the Cranes)
by Aida SalazarFrom the prolific author of The Moon Within comes the heart-wrenchingly beautiful story in verse of a young Latinx girl who learns to hold on to hope and love even in the darkest of places: a family detention center for migrants and refugees.Betita, de nueve años, sabe que es una grulla. Papi le contó la historia desde antes que su familia emigrara a Los Ángeles buscando refugio de la guerra del narco en México. Los aztecas procedían de un lugar llamado Aztlán, en lo que es hoy el sureste de Estados Unidos, cuyo nombre significa "tierra de las grullas", y establecieron su gran ciudad en el centro del universo: Tenochtitlán, la actual Ciudad de México. Cuenta una profesía que su gente regresaría un día a vivir entre las grullas en la tierra prometida. Papi le dice a Betita que ellos son grullas que han regresado a su hogar.Un día, el querido padre de Betita es arrestado por el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas y deportado a México. Betita y su mamá ingrávida se quedan solas, pero finalmente son también detenidas y deben aprender a sobrevivir en un campamento de detención de familias en las afueras de Los Ángeles. Incluso en estas condiciones crueles e inhumanas, Betita encuentra amparo en su propia poesía y en la comunidad que ella y su madre encuentran en el campamento. Las voces de sus compañeros en busca de asilo vuelan por encima del odio que los mantiene enjaulados y que amenaza cada día con hacerlos caer más bajo de lo que jamás imaginaron. ¿Podrán Betita y su familia volver a ser una sola?Nine-year-old Betita knows she is a crane. Papi has told her the story, even before her family fled to Los Angeles to seek refuge from cartel wars in Mexico. The Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan, what is now the Southwest US, called the land of the cranes. They left Aztlan to establish their great city in the center of the universe -- Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. It was prophesized that their people would one day return to live among the cranes in their promised land. Papi tells Betita that they are cranes that have come home.Then one day, Betita's beloved father is arrested by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported to Mexico. Betita and her pregnant mother are left behind on their own, but soon they too are detained and must learn to survive in a family detention camp outside of Los Angeles. Even in cruel and inhumane conditions, Betita finds heart in her own poetry and in the community she and her mother find in the camp. The voices of her fellow asylum seekers fly above the hatred keeping them caged, but each day threatens to tear them down lower than they ever thought they could be. Will Betita and her family ever be whole again?

Tierras de Cuéllar
by Jesús Bayón de la FuenteConoce la villa de Cuéllar, una isla de arte mudéjar en un Mar de pinares. En la provincia de Segovia, comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Las páginas de este libro de poemas, como su mismo título indica, discurren sobre unas tierras castellanas, que llenaron mi infancia, parte de mi juventud, mi madurez y mi senectud. Comienza con un poema sobre el río Cega que surca la tierra de pinares y los campos que pertenecen a la villa de Cuéllar. Continúa hablando, en términos poéticos, de lugares y vistas singulares de Cuéllar, sus torres, campanarios, castillo, arcos defensivos o de entrada, tanto a la ciudad como a la ciudadela, cubos defensivos, e iglesias o conventos; sin olvidar sus charcas, lomas, montes, alamedas, pinares y dehesas. Igualmente se componen poemas sobre sus más famosas fiestas -los encierros de toros- más antiguos de España; fiestas que ningún natural de Cuéllar desea faltar a ellas ni una sola vez ensu vida. Finaliza la obra con un poema sobre la muy insigne poetisa cuellarana doña Alfonsa de la Torre y Rojas. Entre las páginas de poesía se encuentran colocadas un sinfín de fotografías sobre monumentos, campos, árboles y otros lugares de estas tierras de Cuéllar.

Tijuana Book of the Dead
by Luis Alberto UrreaFrom the author of Pulitzer-nominated The Devil's Highway and national bestseller The Hummingbird's Daughter comes an exquisitely composed collection of poetry on life at the border. Weaving English and Spanish languages as fluidly as he blends cultures of the southwest, Luis Urrea offers a tour of Tijuana, spanning from Skid Row, to the suburbs of East Los Angeles, to the stunning yet deadly Mojave Desert, to Mexico and the border fence itself. Mixing lyricism and colloquial voices, mysticism and the daily grind, Urrea explores duality and the concept of blurring borders in a melting pot society.
Till I End My Song: A Gathering of Last Poems
by Harold Bloom“A colossus among critics. . . . His enthusiasm for literature is a joyous intoxicant.” —New York TimesIn this charming anthology, esteemed literary critic Harold Bloom collects the last poems of history's most important and celebrated poets. As with his immensely popular Best Poems of the English Language, Bloom has carefully curated and annotated the final works of one hundred poets in Till I End My Song, with selections from John Keats, T.S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, Emily Dickinson, Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost, D.H. Lawrence, W.H. Auden, John Milton, Herman Melville, Emily Brontë, and others. Written with the same wise and discerning commentary of earlier books—including his acclaimed Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human and The Book of J—Till I End My Song is a moving and provocative meditation on the relationship between art, meaning, and ultimately, death, from the literary titan of our time.
Till One Day the Sun Shall Shine More Brightly: The Poetry and Prose of Donald Revell (Under Discussion)
by Derek PollardSince the publication of From the Abandoned Cities in 1983, Donald Revell has been among the more consistent influencers in American poetry and poetics. Yet, his work has achieved the status it has—his honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation and awards from the PEN Center USA and American Poetry Review—in a manner that has often tended to belie its abiding significance. This collection of essays, reviews, and interviews is designed to ignite a more wide-ranging critical appraisal of Revell’s writing, from his fourteen collections of poems to his acclaimed translations of French symbolist and modernist poets to his artfully constructed literary criticism. Contributors such as Marjorie Perloff, Stephanie Burt, Dan Beachy-Quick, and Bruce Bond examine key elements in and across Revell’s work, from his visionary postmodernism (“Our words can never say the mystery of our meanings, but there they are: spoken and meaning worlds to us”) to his poetics of radical attention (“And so a poem has nothing to do with picking and choosing, with the mot juste and reflection in tranquility. It is a plain record of one’s entire presence”), in order to enlarge our understanding of how and why that work has come to occupy the place that it has in contemporary American letters.
Tilt
by Jean SpracklandJean Sprackland's third collection describes a world in free-fall. Chaos and calamity are at our shoulder, in the shape of fire and flood, ice-storm and hurricane; trains stand still, zoos are abandoned, migrating birds lose their way - all surfaces are unreliable, all territories unmapped. These are poems that explore the ambivalence and dark unease of slippage and collapse, but they also carry a powerful sense of the miraculous made manifest amongst the ordinary: the mating of natterjack toads, ice on the beach ('dream stuff, with its own internal acoustic') or 'the fund of life' in a used contraceptive. Bracken may run wild across the planet 'waiting for the moment/to pounce on the accident/of the discarded match' but there are also the significant wonders of children and the natural beauty of the world they've inherited. Tilt is a collection of raw, distressed and beautiful poems, a hymn to the remarkable survival of things in the face of threat - for every degradation an epiphany, for every drowning a birth.

Time and Materials: Poems 1997-2005
by Robert HassThe poems in Robert Hass's new collection-his first to appear in a decade-are grounded in the beauty and energy of the physical world, and in the bafflement of the present moment in American culture. This work is breathtakingly immediate, stylistically varied, redemptive, and wise.<P><P> His familiar landscapes are here—San Francisco, the Northern California coast, the Sierra high country—in addition to some of his oft-explored themes: art; the natural world; the nature of desire; the violence of history; the power and limits of language; and, as in his other books, domestic life and the conversation between men and women. New themes emerge as well, perhaps: the essence of memory and of time.<P> The works here look at paintings, at Gerhard Richter as well as Vermeer, and pay tribute to his particular literary masters, friend Czeslaw Milosz, the great Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, Horace, Whitman, Stevens, Nietszche, and Lucretius. We are offered glimpses of a surprisingly green and vibrant twenty-first-century Berlin; of the demilitarized zone between the Koreas; of a Bangkok night, a Mexican desert, and an early summer morning in Paris, all brought into a vivid present and with a passionate meditation on what it is and has been to be alive. "It has always been Mr. Hass's aim," the New York Times Book Review wrote, "to get the whole man, head and heart and hands and everything else, into his poetry."<P> Winner of the 2007 National Book Award for Poetry, and the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Time and Nature in the Poetry of Niyi Osundare: Poetics of Animism, Anthropocene, and Capitalocene (Routledge Studies in African Literature)
by Chukwunwike AnolueThis book provides an ecocritical analysis of the poetry of the famous Nigerian poet Niyi Osundare. It interrogates the intricate interface between time and nature in 11 of Osundare’s defining poetry collections. This is a book of postcolonial ecocriticism from an African perspective. It brings together the ecocritical theory of animism and theories of geologic time in the discussion of Osundare’s poetry. Osundare shows that animism has a lot to offer in enriching human understanding of the ecosystem. And while he eloquently catalogues problems undermining the health of the earth in this age of the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene in his poetry, he also holds on to the hope of a better future. The book concludes that Osundare’s optimism is what informs his use of poetry to press humankind to rise to the duty of salvaging the environment. Deploying an interdisciplinary approach that stretches across the fields of literature, religion, geology, physics, economics, and anthropology, this book will be an important read for those looking for fresh ways to understand Osundare’s poetry and African nature writing.
Time and the Erotic in Horace’s Odes
by Ronnie AnconaIn Horace's Odes love cannot last. Is the poet unromantic, as some critics claim? Is he merely realistic? Or is he, as Ronnie Ancona contends, relating the erotic to time in a more complex and interesting way than either of these positions allows? Rejecting both the notion that Horace fails as a love poet because he undermines the romantic ideal that love conquers time and the notion that he succeeds becauses he eschews illusions about love's ability to endure, this book challenges the assumption that temporality must inevitably pose a threat to the erotic. The author argues that temporality, understood as the contingency the male poet/lover wants to but cannot control, explains why love "fails" in Horace's Odes.Drawing on contemporary theory, including recent work in feminist criticism, Ancona provides close readings of fourteen odes, which are presented in English translation as well as in Latin. Through a discussion of the poet's use of various temporal devices--the temporal adverb, seasonal imagery, and the lover or beloved's own temporality--she shows how Horace makes time dominate the erotic context and, further, how the version of love that appears in his poems is characterized by the lover's desire to control the beloved. The romantic ideal of a timeless love, apparently rejected by the poet, emerges here instead as an underlying element of the poet's portrayal of the erotic. In a critique of the predominant modes of recent Horatian scholarship on the love odes, Ancona offers an alternative view that takes into account the male gender of the lover and its effect on the structure of desire in the poems. By doing so, she advances a broader project in recent classical studies that aims to include discussion of features of classical literature, such as sexuality and gender, which have previously escaped critical attention.Addressing aspects of Horace as a love poet--especially the dynamics of gender relations--that critics have tended to ignore, this book articulates his version of love as something not to be championed or condemned but rather to be seen as challengingly problematic. Of primary interest to classicists, it will also engage the attention of scholars and teachers in the humanities with specializations in gender, sexuality, lyric poetry, or feminist theory.
Time Beginnings: Poems
by James ApplewhiteIn his poem “Afterward,” James Applewhite imagines a curious Eve in the Garden of Eden, her eye falling upon a twisting river and an S-shaped snake before she eats from the tree of knowledge, choosing change over stasis. Applewhite’s new collection Time Beginnings casts a keenly observant eye on the ever-varied natural world and meditates on the place of humans within it. In these philosophical poems, the slow creation of new planets in the farthest reaches of the galaxy mirrors the development of single-celled Earth organisms whose “first awareness . . . foretell[s] a consciousness / of self, the life lived knowing of death.”Meditating upon topics as far-ranging as the movement of photons in the heart of the sun and the single drop of blood on the finger of a girl holding a rosebud, James Applewhite’s poems explore deeply the mysteries of the galaxies and the complexities of being human.
