Tres (Bilingual Edition)
by Roberto Bolaño Laura Healy"Poetry is braver than anyone," Roberto Bolan~o believed, and the proof is here in Tres, his most inventive and bracing poetry collection. Roberto Bolan~o's Tres is a showcase of the author's willingness to freely cross genres, with poems in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. As the title implies, the collection is composed of three sections. "Prose from Autumn in Gerona," a cinematic series of prose poems, slowly reveals a subtle and emotional tale of unrequited love by presenting each scene, shattering it, and piecing it all back together, over and over again. The second part, "The Neochileans," is a sort of On the Road in verse, which narrates the travels of a young Chilean band on tour in the far reaches of their country. Finally, the collection ends with a series of short poems that take us on "A Stroll Through Literature" and remind us of Bolan~o's masterful ability to walk the line between the comically serious and the seriously comical.
Tres poetas católicos: Ramón López Velarde, Carlos Pellicer y Manuel Ponce
by Gabriel ZaidPara los juicios convencionales, López Velarde es el cantor de la provincia y de la “íntima tristeza reaccionaria”; Pellicer, el cantor del trópico y “las manos llenas de color”; Ponce, un sacerdote que hacía versos. Pero hay que verlos como miembros de una tribu cuyo contexto se perdió: los poetas y artistas que creyeron posible ser católicos y modernos. El sueño de crear una cultura católica moderna fracasó hasta el punto de que ni siquiera es historiado, de que la tradición crítica recibida no tiene una precaución que diga: hay cosas de la cultura mexicana que nunca entenderás, si ignoras que el catolicismo mexicano soñó con la modernidad. De Gabriel Zaid hemos publicado casi todos sus libros en esta colección.

The Trials of Orpheus: Poetry, Science, and the Early Modern Sublime
by Jenny C. MannA revealing look at how the Orpheus myth helped Renaissance writers and thinkers understand the force of eloquenceIn ancient Greek mythology, the lyrical songs of Orpheus charmed the gods, and compelled animals, rocks, and trees to obey his commands. This mythic power inspired Renaissance philosophers and poets as they attempted to discover the hidden powers of verbal eloquence. They wanted to know: How do words produce action? In The Trials of Orpheus, Jenny Mann examines the key role the Orpheus story played in helping early modern writers and thinkers understand the mechanisms of rhetorical force. Mann demonstrates that the forms and figures of ancient poetry indelibly shaped the principles of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scientific knowledge.Mann explores how Ovid’s version of the Orpheus myth gave English poets and natural philosophers the lexicon with which to explain language’s ability to move individuals without physical contact. These writers and thinkers came to see eloquence as an aesthetic force capable of binding, drawing, softening, and scattering audiences. Bringing together a range of examples from drama, poetry, and philosophy by Bacon, Lodge, Marlowe, Montaigne, Shakespeare, and others, Mann demonstrates that the fascination with Orpheus produced some of the most canonical literature of the age.Delving into the impact of ancient Greek thought and poetry in the early modern era, The Trials of Orpheus sheds light on how the powers of rhetoric became a focus of English thought and literature.
The Trials of Phillis Wheatley: America's First Black Poet and Her Encounters with the Founding Fathers
by Jr. GatesIn 1773, the slave Phillis Wheatley literally wrote her way to freedom. The first person of African descent to publish a book of poems in English, she was emancipated by her owners in recognition of her literary achievement. For a time, Wheatley was the most famous black woman in the West. But Thomas Jefferson, unlike his contemporaries Ben Franklin and George Washington, refused to acknowledge her gifts as a writer?a repudiation that eventually inspired generations of black writers to build an extraordinary body of literature in their efforts to prove him wrong. In "The Trials of Phillis Wheatley," Henry Louis Gates Jr. explores the pivotal roles that Wheatley and Jefferson played in shaping the black literary tradition. Writing with all the lyricism and critical skill that place him at the forefront of American letters, Gates brings to life the characters, debates, and controversy that surrounded Wheatley in her day and ours.

Trickster Feminism (Penguin Poets)
by Anne WaldmanNew from celebrated poet and performer Anne Waldman - an edgy, visionary collection that meditates on gender, existence, passion and activismMythopoetics, shape shifting, quantum entanglement, Anthropocene blues, litany and chance operation play inside the field of these intertwined poems, which coalesced out of months of protests with some texts penned in the streets. Anne Waldman looks to the imagination of mercurial possibility, to the spirits of the doorway and of crossroads, and to language that jolts the status quo of how one troubles gender and outwits patriarchy. She summons Tarot's Force Arcana, the passion of the suffragettes, and various messengers and heroines of historical, hermetic, and heretical stance, creating an intersectionality of lived experience: class, sexuality, race, politics all enter the din. These are experiments of survival.

Trilogía
by Hilda DoolittleUn poema maravillosamente fluido. Un camino sin baches hacia lo sublime. «H.D. es sinónimo de deseo, de imaginación y de clarividencia. Tal vez una de las poetas más increíbles -aunque incomprendida y secreta- de la primera mitad del siglo xx. [...] En Trilogía podemos ver parte de toda su magia en expansión.»Luna Miguel Los tres largos poemas que conforman Trilogía constituyen una de las obras maestras de la poesía del siglo XX, comparable a los Cuatro cuartetos de T.S. Eliot, a Brigflatts de Basil Bunting o a Notas hacia una ficción suprema de Wallace Stevens. Escrita bajo el impacto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, H.D. indaga a lo largo de esta obra en el amor, la muerte o la posibilidad de redención, llevando su propia poesía -despojada ahora de las tiranías del imaginismo que había ayudado a fundar- a terrenos nunca antes explorados, configurando así uno de los experimentos literarios más arriesgados y fructíferos de nuestro tiempo. Reseñas:«Madura de edad y genio, H. D. ha crecido, años hace que el imaginismo se le quedó pequeño, pero sus versos son aún rápidos como saetas. De su oracular Trilogía se desprende el enésimo sentido, el exclusivo de nuestra especie y, probablemente, el único fiable: el sentido poético. Señores físicos, teóricos ustedes, la búsqueda ha terminado: he aquí la ley que gobierna todos los universos. Poesía del fiat lux para nuestras almas oscuras.»Ainhoa Sáenz de Zaitegui, El Cultural «En Trilogía, H.D. se enfrentó a los temas de la guerra, la locura nacionalista, la destrucción de las grandes ciudades; no como un lamento por el desmoronamiento de la civilización occidental, sino volviendo la mirada atrás para buscar inspiración en la prehistoria, en una tradición ginocéntrica. H.D. insistió en que la poeta-como-mujer tenía que dejar de derramar sus energías sobre un terreno que los tiranos y los adoradores de la muerte habían dejado estéril. [...] A partir de su visión, H.D. procedió a crear sus grandes y largos poemas tardíos en los que celebra el mundo matriarcal y la búsqueda de heroínas.»Adrienne Rich «La obra cumbre de la ecléctica poeta estadounidense.»Zenda «En la tradición de los poemas de Yeats, Eliot y Pound, las secuencias de versos de H. D. son ficciones supremas de lo más visionarias.»Sandra M. Gilbert, The New York Times Book Review «Este éxtasis, éxtasis en el lenguaje, en un lenguaje bello, es lo que me lleva a través de toda la Trilogía, no solo satisfecho con su trampa, no solo satisfecho con estas ficciones arbitrarias, sino hechizado con la totalidad de su poema, por no decir embelesado.»Hayden Carruth, The Hudson Review «Recordad: H. D. era más sacerdotisa que otra cosa: más sacerdotisa que amante, más sacerdotisa que pensadora, más sacerdotisa que mujer, que estadounidense o (a decir verdad) artista. La Trilogía es tan buena en parte porque directamente convirtió su vocación de sacerdotisa en el tema principal.»Anthony Madrid, The Paris Review
Trinity Jones: The Queen of The Ghetto A Fictional Poetic Memoir
by Tiffanya RichardsonIn a world where everyone seems to be chasing a dream, we find our main character, Queen Trinity violently sprinting trying to escape her past. For Queen, her very existence has turned into a never-ending nightmare. Passionate and hopelessly creative, this lost poem from Oakland California finds comfort in expression through the art of written word. On the surface she appears to be a confident Queen despite a few wrong turns, but her story lies beneath the surface. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to manifest the dreams that she often plagued by. Her faith in Jesus provides her with wings and guidelines she needs to fly, but will she have the courage to live boldly enough to stop dreaming, and actually take flight?

Trinity Street: Poems
by Jen CurrinHeartsick, reverent, irreverent, and quietly political, Trinity Street is the much-anticipated fifth collection from poet Jen Currin, winner of the Audre Lorde Award and a Lambda finalist. While Trinity Street is in fact an actual street in Vancouver, it is also the site of an imaginary garden and imperfect utopia in the title poem of this new collection. Currin’s poems weave together the meditative and the disruptive, the queer and quotidian, and the worlds of the dead and the living. Connections are made through prayer and protest; friendships are forged on a planet challenged by climate crisis, collective grief, and the perils of late capitalism. These poems vibrate with unexpected shifts and precise, startling imagery, the touchstones of a poet whose work critics have described as “thrilling,” “emotionally evocative,” and “revelatory.”
Trio
by Sarah TolmieWalk away before you are threadbare / Preserve your strength, preserve your curly hair / For others' use. Least I can do. / Let your fabric relax, snap back to mold / Another body and reveal its gold. A collection of 120 sonnets in eight parts, Trio reveals, frame by frame, a married fortysomething female narrator in love with two younger men - an intellectual and a dancer - and torn between the claims of body and mind. In the tradition of Renaissance sonnet sequences from Petrarch onward, the narrator's love objects are constantly before her eyes, and thus before ours, creating compassion, comedy, and desire. They are real and imaginary, opposite and complementary, present and unavailable, autonomous and dependent. Tolmie's characters circle and shadow one another in every dance, spinning until fantasy becomes flesh and entanglement. In immortalizing the beloved, she draws on the power of both poetic and human reproduction. Like the contact improvisation modern dance form that influences the collection, these poems are both expressive and analytical. Through a singular feminist revision of a traditional poetic form, they tell the story - sometimes raunchy, sometimes crushingly sad - of a strong protagonist and the predicament she's in.
