Anny's Mirrors
by Nancy E. Walker-GuyeAnny finds mirrors everywhere: in her mother's room, her spoon, her pot, and a puddle!
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.
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.

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.
Another Day: Sabbath Poems 2013-2023
by Wendell BerryA new collection of poems and the companion volume to the popular bestseller This Day, Wendell Berry's Another Day is another stunning contribution to the poetry canon from one of America's most beloved writersA companion to his beloved volume This Day and Wendell Berry's first new poetry collection since 2016, this new selection of Sabbath Poems are filled with spiritual longing and political extremity, memorials and celebrations, elegies and lyrics, alongside the occasional rants of the Mad Farmer, pushed to the edge yet again by his compatriots and elected officials.With the publication of this new edition, it has become increasingly clear that the Sabbath Poems have become the very heart of Berry&’s work.
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 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 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 Kind of Autumn
by Loren C. EiseleyPosthumous collection of 50 poems on nature from Harper's, Audubon, Poetry.
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 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."

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.
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.

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.
antes que isla es volcán / before island is volcano: poemas / poems (Raised Voices #2)
by Roque Raquel Salas RiveraGold Medal Winner of the Juan Felipe Herrera Award for Bilingual PoetryFrom the National Book Award-nominated, Lambda Award-winning poet: a powerful, inventive new collection that looks to the future of Puerto Rico with love, rage, beauty, and hopeRaquel Salas Rivera&’s star has risen swiftly in the poetry world, and this, his 6th book, promises to cement his status as one of the most important poets working today. In sharp, crystalline verses, written in both Spanish and English versions, antes que isla es volcán daringly imagines a decolonial Puerto Rico.Salas Rivera unfurls series after series of poems that build in intensity: one that casts Puerto Rico as the island of Caliban in Shakespeare&’s The Tempest, another that imagines a multiverse of possibilities for Puerto Rico&’s fate, a 3rd in which the poet demands his right to a future and its immediate distribution. The verses are rigorous and sophisticated, engaging with literary and political theory, yet are also hard-hitting, charismatic, and quotable (&“won&’t you be sorry? / won&’t you wish you had a boss? / won&’t you get restless / with all that freedom?&”).These poems tap unflinchingly into the explosive energy of the island, transforming it into protest, into spirit, into art.
Anthem
by Helen HumphreysWinner of the 2000 Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry and shortlisted for the 2000 Pat Lowther Award and the 2001 Milton Acorn Memorial People’s Poetry Prize Physical and fiercely lyric, Helen Humphreys' Anthem is a litany of want. A song of poverty and of desire, of the reach forward and the relentless backward glance. With stark images and subtle, tensile strength, her poems touch that rare interval between presence and absence, echo and answer, between wall and window and sky -- that gap in which we live, the space words make.
