Descent: Poems
by Kathryn Stripling ByerNavigating the dangerous currents of family and race, Kathryn Stripling Byer's sixth poetry collection confronts the legacy of southern memory, where too often "it's safer to stay blind."Beginning with "Morning Train," a response to Georgia blues musician Precious Bryant, Byer sings her way through a search for identity, recalling the hardscrabble lives of her family in the sequence "Drought Days," and facing her inheritance as a white southern woman growing up amid racial division and violence. The poet encounters her own naive complicity in southern racism and challenges the narrative of her homeland, the "Gone with the Wind" mythology that still haunts the region.Ultimately, Descent creates a fragile reconciliation between past and present, calling over and over again to celebrate being, as in the book's closing manifesto, "Here. Where I am."

Desecrations
by Matt RaderA luminous new collection of poems about entering middle age, living a life of books, and trying to know what it means to be or not be from or of a place.If pattern is information, and verse the mind's conversation with Time, Matt Rader's Desecrations animates a theatre of silence we recognize as mystery. Building on an already astonishing body of work, in lines so fluid and uncannily resonant they feel cousined to the dream world, Rader insists that intimate moments bear the cargo of both past and future, antiquity and grim projection, ancestry and unborn selves, resulting in poems of kaleidoscopic beauty and strangeness. These singular, musical evocations eschew argument in favour of a welcoming, arms-wide abandon, and an ethics of porousness and connection. By some alchemy of voice, detail, collision, and disobedience to chronology, Desecrations reveals the imagination as a worthy location of real experience. These poems are a new way to orbit around a locus of damage, a new fabric of signs and singing that we can't help but realize we'd been yearning for all along.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Desert Fathers, Uranium Daughters
by Debora GregerAward-winning poet Debora Greger grew up in Washington near the site of the Hanford atomic plant, which, unbeknownst to its workers, manufactured plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. "The high school team was named the Bombers," she writes. "The school ring had a mushroom cloud on it. " In Desert Fathers, Uranium Daughters she uses what The Nation has characterized as her "deadpan wit, intelligence and marvelous insight" to explore the legacy of a Catholic girlhood spent in a landscape where "even the dust, though we didn't know it then, was radioactive. " "Call us out of the animal," Greger writes, invoking the ghost of a poet conjured in "Nights of 1995," in what could be construed as the motto of a collection filled with what Poetry called "priceless instants where the mundane flares up into the miraculous. "
Desert: Poems
by David HintonThe first collection of original poetry by the renowned nature writer and highly lauded translator of the Chinese classics.Traveling today I found a river somewhere inside me, wondered how far it wanders there and how much sky it mirrors. All day long, wind and desert light, I followed that river’s distances . . . Weaving mind and landscape together in meditations on sky and wind, ridgeline and horizon, existence and self, Desert marks David Hinton’s first collection of original poetry in over a decade. Hinton’s poetic art has long shined brilliantly through his widely acclaimed Chinese translations—and here speaks for itself in his contemporary voice as he turns his attention to the transcendent landscape of the American West. Updating the philosophical insights of ancient China that Hinton has explored so deeply, these poems bring the wonder and ancient mystery of the desert landscape to light. Hinton demonstrated in The Wilds of Poetry how those ancient Chinese insights shaped the innovative American poetry of our time, and here he extends that tradition in poems that are spare and spacious, as vast and open as the desert itself.
Designed Words for a Designed World: The International Concrete Poetry Movement, 1955-1971
by Jamie HilderSometimes image, sometimes word, and often both or neither, concrete poetry emerged out of an era of groundbreaking social and technological developments. Television, nuclear weapons, radio transistors, space travel, and colour photography all combined to drastically alter the representation of the world in the period following the Second World War. While never fully embraced as poetry or as visual art, and often criticized for an aesthetic that veers too close to commercial design, concrete poetry is an ambitious critical project that strives to break free of national languages and narrow literary traditions. Crossing national and disciplinary borders to highlight connections between poems and a variety of other cultural material, Jamie Hilder shows how the movement's international character predates and initiates some trends now associated with globalization. Hilder places concrete poetry alongside such transformative projects as the modernist city of Brasília, the development of computers, and the rise of conceptual art in order to accentuate its significance as one of the major poetic movements of the twentieth century. Heavily illustrated with examples of poems that exhibit the politically engaged, complex, and varied aspects of the movement, Designed Words for a Designed World illuminates how a group of poets fascinated by the possibilities of a rapidly transforming cultural geography operated within an emerging global imaginary.

Desire Museum
by Danielle Cadena DeulenConsumed with the accumulation of lost time and unfulfilled longing, Desire Museum by Danielle Cadena Deulen is an intricate exploration of things left unfinished or unsatisfied. Divided into four sections and shaped by female-identified embodiment, Desire Museum touches on lost love and friendship, climate crisis, lesbian relationships, and the imprisonment of children at the U.S.-Mexico border. These poems trace the pleasures and pitfalls of sex, the anxieties of motherhood, and the ramifications of interpersonal, sociopolitical, and environmental trauma in women’s lives. In these pages, Deulen holds up a candle to desire itself, questioning what it means to recognize and embrace one's desires, or what it might mean to let them go.In conversation with Hopkins, Keats, Crane, and Lorca, Deulen seamlessly weaves memories into dreamscapes and blurs the human and natural worlds. With love, wonder, grief, and awe, Desire Museum shows us that to live alongside desire is to refuse to be contained: “I refuse meaning [ ] the first sunrise reiterates the last.”
Desire Zoo: Poems
by Alison LutermanAlison Luterman's eye is on women, on children, in the streets and in the woods. Or at home alone in front of a desk. Her arms envelop love in whatever form it shows up: a cup of coffee from her husband, or the curve of a pregnant woman's belly as she walks around the lake in flip-flops. Luterman's poems are concerned with this and more. She is not abstract--she can't stop telling stories. She doesn't know how to refrain from making meaning out of scraps of beauty that she's found. For Luterman, poetry is both a privilege and a job.
Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin's Poetry
by Dong FengIn the first monograph on W. S. Merwin to appear since his death in 2019, Feng Dong focuses on the dialectical movement of desire and infinity that ensouls the poet’s entire oeuvre. His analysis foregrounds what Merwin calls “the other side of despair,” the opposite of humans’ articulated personal and social agonies. Feng finds these presences in Merwin’s evocations of what lingers on the edge of constantly updated socio-symbolic frameworks: surreal encounters, spiritual ecstasies, and abyssal freedoms. By examining Merwin’s lifelong engagement with psychic fantasies, anonymous holiness, entities both natural and supernatural, and ghostly ancestors, Feng uncovers a precarious relation with the unarticulated, unrealized side of existence. Drawing on theories from Lacan, Žižek, Levinas, and Heidegger, Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin’s Poetry reads a metaphysical possibility into the poet’s work at the intersection between contemporary poetics, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.

Despierta
by Lorena PronskyEn Despierta Lorena Pronsky nos habla, de una manera honesta y visceral, sobre cómo superar los golpes de la vida: las pérdidas, el desamor y los miedos. La mayoría de las decisiones que tomamos en nuestra vida las hacemos estando dormidos. Casi arrastrados por un estado de inercia. Cuando reaccionamos, el paso ya está dado y el resto del tiempo nos quedamos ahí -atrapados- intentando hacer algo con eso que ni advertimos haber decidido. Hay cosas que no se deshacen. Querer intentarlo es verle la cara a la frustración. Por el contrario, se hace necesario un viaje a nuestro mundo interior. Si registramos lo que hacemos y sentimos, ganamos libertad y la posibilidad urgente de conocer nuestros deseos más profundos. ¿Quién soy? ¿Qué quiero? ¿Cómo lo quiero? Ser conscientes de lo que sentimos: decirlo, palparlo y nombrarlo son formas en las que logramos adueñarnos de nuestra vida. Cuanto antes despertemos a nuestro mundo interior, más sabias y honestas serán nuestras decisiones. Despierta es el paso hacia una existencia verdadera. Una invitación a conocernos y animarnos a pisar firme y fuerte. Siempre hacia donde nos guíen nuestros latidos. Sí. Los nuestros.Lorena Pronsky
Después de morir
by Ana FolhadelaTal i como se nos advierte desde el mismo título, este libro toma a la muerte como motivo central, entendida no como transcendencia, sino como parte indisolciable de la vida mundana. Así, la autora sittúa su discurso en la vía del existencialismo, desarrollando algunos de sus corolários: el absurdo, el desdoblamiento, la disolución de la identidad, la náusea... No renuncia, sin embargo, al lirismo, generalmente comedido, conciso, centrado en conceptos, tales com el río o la niebla, que eleva a símbolos.

Desterratuen piztiarioa
by Asier SerranoDesterrua izan daiteke behartua edo izan daiteke aukeratua. Poemotan azalduko zaizkizun ahotsek hasi dute egunerokotik deserrotuko dituen bidaia bakartia. Bakardade jasangaitzari aurre egiteko, ordea, piztiak asmatu beharko dituzte bidaide modura. Piztia horien oinatza izango da desterratuen zainetan nabigatuko duen mina. Poema bat idazteko nahikoa da norberaren ingurura begiratzen ikastea, baina poema bilduma bat osatzeko norberaren barneko paisaia desterratuak begiratzen ikasi behar da.
Desvirgando a la noche con poemas suicidas
by Carlos KaballeroCarlos Kaballero, el poeta de redes que reformula el realismo sucio con un poemario repleto de crítica social y nocturnidad. Estas páginas están hechas de insomnio. <P><P>Cada una de sus palabras es un trozo de madrugada. Textos escritos en la noche, sobre la noche y para la noche... <P> Porque el amor, la vida, la soledad, el sexo y el mundo se ven de un modo distinto bajo la luz de un flexo en la ciudad callada. Porque la angustia de la falta de sueño transporta a un lugar brumoso en el que se confunde la realidad... <P>O tal vez al contrario, se vea todo demasiado claro. «Tú encárgate de viviry de hacerme vivir contigo,yo me encargaréde dejar todo estopor escrito.»
Devil in the Woods
by D.A. LockhartA collection of letter and prayer poems in which an Indigenous speaker engages with non-Indigenous famous Canadians. D.A. Lockhart’s stunning and subversive fourth collection gives us the words, thoughts, and experiences of an Anishinaabe guy from Central Ontario and the manner in which he interacts with central aspects and icons of settler Canadian culture. Riffing off Richard Hugo’s 31 Letters and 13 Dreams, the work utilizes contemporary Indigenous poetics to carve out space for often ignored voices in dominant Canadian discourse (and in particular for a response to this dominance through the cultural background of an Indigenous person living on land that has been fundamentally changed by settler culture). The letter poems comprise a large portion of this collection and are each addressed to specific key public figures—from Sarah Polley to Pierre Berton, k.d. lang to Robertson Davies, Don Cherry to Emily Carr. The second portion of the pieces are prayer poems, which tenderly illustrate hybrid notions of faith that have developed in contemporary Indigenous societies in response to modern and historical realities of life in Canada. Together, these poems act as a lyric whole to push back against the dominant view of Canadian political and pop-culture history and offer a view of a decolonized nation. Because free double-doubles… tease us like bureaucratic promises of medical coverage and housing not given to black mold and torn- off siding. Oh Lord, let us sing anew, in this pre-dawn light, a chorus that shall not repeat Please Play Again. (from “Roll Up the Rim Prayer”)
