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.

Tressing Motions at the Edge of Mistakes: Poems
by Imane BoukailaThe newest entry in the Multiverse series, Tressing Motions at the Edge of Mistakes is a debut collection activated by sampling, troubling, and trespassing. This is a book of what its teenage nonspeaking autistic author Imane Boukaila, calls &“tacit treasures.&” Where manifestos encounter poems and raps encounter essays, the lyric constellations that mark this debut sing in opposition to those &“troubled-abled&” who would coerce and control disabled lives. Boukaila offers another way: her &“LOL tressed philosophy,&” her truth. This liberatory philosophy exists at the periphery, thresholding, in all the places where life opens toward neurodivergent revolution. &“Treasures thrive in open spreading spaces,&” she writes. From the muddy streams shimmering with trout, to the space storms in the starry skies, to the tressing that exists between minds, Boukaila offers us a chance to make mistakes, to be messy, to learn and unlearn the languages we use to survive. Readers seeking &“treasures yet to be uncovered&” will find this and more in this expansive collection.

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.

Anyone, from the beginning poet to the mature writer to the lover of literature, will benefit greatly from Hugo's playful, profound insights and advice concerning the mysteries of literary creation.
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: 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 Psalter: Psalms 1-150 (words-only edition)

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.

Tripas: Poems (Georgia Review Books Ser.)
by Brandon SomWith Tripas, Brandon Som follows up his award-winning debut with a book of poems built out of a multicultural, multigenerational childhood home, in which he celebrates his Chicana grandmother, who worked nights on the assembly line at Motorola, and his Chinese American father and grandparents, who ran the family corner store. Enacting a como se dice poetics, a dialogic poem-making that inventively listens to heritage languages and transcribes family memory, Som participates in a practice of mem(oir), placing each poem's ear toward a confluence of history, labor, and languages, while also enacting a kind of "telephone" between cultures. Invested in the circuitry and circuitous routes of migration and labor, Som's lyricism weaves together the narratives of his transnational communities, bringing to light what is overshadowed in the reckless transit of global capitalism and imagining a world otherwise—one attuned to the echo in the hecho, the oracle in the orale.

Tristan with the 'Tristran' of Thomas
by Gottfried von StrassburgOne of the great romances of the Middle Ages, Tristan, written in the early thirteenth century, is based on a medieval love story of grand passion and deceit. By slaying a dragon, the young prince Tristan wins the beautiful Isolde's hand in marriage for his uncle, King Mark. On their journey back to Mark's court, however, the pair mistakenly drink a love-potion intended for the king and his young bride, and are instantly possessed with an all-consuming love for each another - a love they are compelled to conceal by a series of subterfuges that culminates in tragedy. Von Strassburg's work is acknowledged as the greatest rendering of this legend of medieval lovers, and went on to influence generations of writers and artists and inspire Richard Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.
Triumph of the Sparrow: Zen Poems
by Shinkichi Takahashi“You need know nothing of Zen to become immersed in his work. You will inevitably know something of Zen when you emerge” (Jim Harrison, American Poetry Review). Shinkichi Takahashi is one of the truly great figures in world poetry. In the classic Zen tradition of economy, disciplined attention, and subtlety, Takahashi lucidly captures that which is contemporary in its problems and experiences, yet classic in its quest for unity with the Absolute. Lucien Stryk, Takahashi’s fellow poet and close friend, here presents Takahashi’s complete body of Zen poems in an English translation that conveys the grace and power of Takahashi’s superb art. “A first-rate poet . . . [Takahashi] springs out of some crack between ordinary worlds: that is, there is some genuine madness of the sort striven for in Zen.” —Robert Bly

Trochemoche: Poems
by Luis J. RodríguezPoems of the barrio and of the Americas beyond Spanish for &“helter-skelter,&” Trochemoche begins by conjuring life in the barrio, whether in a slum in a Texas border town or in L.A., the vast, hectic, desperate California metropolis where Luis J. Rodríguez grew up. For Rodríguez, only art offered deliverance from the despair of gang violence and poverty, and these poems stand as prayers for transcendence, recorded long after Rodríguez escaped his violent past and began to explore the wider world. Here Rodríguez offers not only songs of the American dream, but a dream of the Americas, a place that invites a pell-mell, sometimes violent, collision of cultures, human impulses, and natural forces. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodríguez including rare images from the author&’s personal collection.
