Mariner: A Voyage with Samuel Taylor Coleridge
by Reverend Dr Malcolm Guite'The story of Coleridge's life does undoubtedly echo that of his poem; this is a book that provides rewarding rereadings of both' - The Sunday TimesA new biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, shaped and structured around the story he himself tells in his most famous poem, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. Though the 'Mariner' was written in 1797 when Coleridge was only twenty-five, it was an astonishingly prescient poem. As Coleridge himself came to realise much later, this tale - of a journey that starts in high hopes and good spirits, but leads to a profound encounter with human fallibility, darkness, alienation, loneliness and dread, before coming home to a renewal of faith and vocation - was to be the shape of his own life. In this rich new biography, academic, priest and poet Malcolm Guite draws out how with an uncanny clarity, image after image and event after event in the poem became emblems of what Coleridge was later to suffer and discover. Of course 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' is more than just an individual's story: it is also a profound exploration of the human condition and, as Coleridge says in his gloss, our 'loneliness and fixedness'. But the poem also offers hope, release, and recovery; and Guite also draws out the continuing relevance of Coleridge's life and writing to our own time.'Forcefully and convincingly argued' - The Telegraph

Mark Ford: Selected Poems
by Mark FordSelected Poems charts Mark Ford's growing complexity as a writer and his mastery and use of form. John Ashbery calls Ford's work "refreshing" and it's that exuberance and goodwill that animates the poems, giving them their spontaneity and leavening the grim with comic élan and joy. Myth, history, and the everyday are all at play in this wonderfully diverse collection.Invisible Assets:After he threw he through aplate glass window, nature seemed that much closer.Even the dastardly division in societymight be healed by a first-rate glazier.Of course, on Sundays families still picnickedboldly on the village green, and afterwardsmarveled at the blacksmith's glowing forge--how strong they all were in those days!And yet how small! Even a man only six foot tallwas then esteemed a veritable giant.Surely the current furor over architecturewould have evoked from them only pitying smiles.Meanwhile the market for landscapes has neverbeen firmer. This view, for instance, includesseven counties, and a bull charging around in its paddock.Mark Ford was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1962. He has published three collections of poetry and a biography of the French writer Raymond Roussel and is the editor of Frank O'Hara's Selected Poems. He has also translated Roussel's New Impressions of Africa and is the editor of London: A History in Verse. He lives in London, England.
The Market Mechanism and Economic Reforms in China
by William ByrdThis theoretical and empirical study of market-oriented reforms in Chinese industry since the late 1970s focuses on the expansion of the market mechanism in the allocation of industrial products and the concurrent decline of directive planning - a strategy that is a crucial component of the ambitious overall reform "package" that Chinese reformers are trying to implement. The expanding role of Chinese industrial goods has had major implications for the functioning and importance of planning which, the author argues, has become largely irrelevant in terms of direct control over short-term allocation.
The Marketing of Edgar Allan Poe (Studies in American Popular History and Culture)
by Jonathan HartmannEdgar Allan Poe is today considered one of the greatest masters and most fascinating figures of the American literary world. However, an examination of Poe's essays and criticism throughout his prose publishing career (1831-1849) reveals that the author himself played a vital role in the creation and manipulation of his own reputation. During his twenties and thirties, Poe promoted his writing to magazine editors in the United States and in Europe through several strategies. He painted a Romantic and patriotic self-portrait in his fiery literary reviews, even as he played up his own connections, both real and imaginary, to literary celebrities including Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, George Gordon Lord Byron and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Through recycling plots, atmosphere, and language (including his own) from American and British magazines, he built stories and essays which were linked in a complex network of references to each other and their author. Teachers and students alike will enjoy this single-volume treatment of Poe’s self-promotional tales and criticism.

The Marlowe Papers
by Ros Barber*WINNER OF THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2013*On May 30th, 1593, a celebrated young playwright was killed in a tavern brawl in London. That, at least, was the official version. Now Christopher Marlowe reveals the truth: that his 'death' was an elaborate ruse to avoid being convicted of heresy; that he was spirited across the Channel to live on in lonely exile; that he continued to write plays and poetry, hiding behind the name of a colourless man from Stratford - one William Shakespeare. With the grip of a thriller and the emotional force of a sonnet, this remarkable novel in verse gives voice to a man who was brilliant, passionate and mercurial. A cobbler's son who counted nobles among his friends, a spy in the Queen's service, a fickle lover and a declared religious sceptic, he was always courting trouble. Memoir, love letter, confession, settling of accounts and a cry for recognition as the creator of some of the most sublime works in the English language, The Marlowe Papers brings Christopher Marlowe and his era to vivid life. Written by a poet and scholar, it is a work of exceptional art, erudition and imagination.

The Marlowe Papers
by Ros BarberOn May 30th, 1593, a celebrated young playwright was killed in a tavern brawl in London. That, at least, was the official version. Now let Christopher Marlowe tell you the truth: that his 'death' was an elaborate ruse to avoid his being hanged for heresy; that he was spirited across the channel to live on in lonely exile, longing for his true love and pining for the damp streets of London; that he continued to write plays and poetry, hiding behind the name of a colourless printer from Stratford - one William Shakespeare. With the grip of a thriller and the emotional force of a sonnet, this extraordinary novel in verse gives voice to a man who was brilliant, passionate, mercurial and not altogether trustworthy. The son of a cobbler who rose so far in Elizabethan society that he counted nobles among his friends and patrons, a spy in the Queen's service, a fickle lover and a declared religious sceptic, he was always courting trouble. When it caught up with him, he was lucky to have connections powerful enough to help him escape. Memoir, love letter, settling of accounts and a cry for recognition as the creator of some of the most sublime works in the English language, this is Christopher Marlowe's testament - and a tour de force by an award-winning poet: provocative, persuasive and enthralling.

Maroon Choreography (Black Outdoors: Innovations in the Poetics of Study)
by fahima ifeIn Maroon Choreography fahima ife speculates on the long (im)material, ecological, and aesthetic afterlives of black fugitivity. In three long-form poems and a lyrical essay, they examine black fugitivity as an ongoing phenomenon we know little about beyond what history tells us. As both poet and scholar, ife unsettles the history and idea of black fugitivity, troubling senses of historic knowing while moving inside the continuing afterlives of those people who disappeared themselves into rural spaces beyond the reach of slavery. At the same time, they interrogate how writing itself can be a fugitive practice and a means to find a way out of ongoing containment, indebtedness, surveillance, and ecological ruin. Offering a philosophical performance in black study, ife prompts us to consider how we—in our study, in our mutual refusal, in our belatedness, in our habitual assemblage—linger beside the unknown.Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award recipient
Marry & Burn
by Rachel RoseThe fourth collection from award-winning poet Rachel Rose, Marry & Burn is a journey through a troubled relationship and a troubled city, charting the territory of love and addiction, and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. Inspired by struggles both personal and global, these are not gentle poems-they probe deep into comforting personal and cultural myths, rending them to pieces even as they expose the beauty in the bright shards that remain. Although the language of blazing passion resonates throughout the discussion of love, longing and addiction, the driving rhythms often resemble more closely the relentless pounding of the ocean: "The sky's cauldron / tips a black storm to swarm the harried / hawk, call, Shame! Shame! Dawn has come / in flame." The golden glow of the ancient world, the dark sweetness of fairy tales, overlay these harsh contemporary moments of rape and addiction, loneliness and poverty, casting them in the richer light of another era. The pain of letting go, whether of love, old habits or cherished personal myths, permeates the collection. But these poems insist that once the dike has broken, once the myths have crumbled, the possibility emerges of building something new.
Marrying the Animals
by Cornelia HooglandNear the centre of Marrying the Animals, Cornelia Hoogland's new book of poetry, is the sequence "In the Meantime: Elizabeth Smart Poems" Hoogland's exploration of Smart's obsession with the poet George Barker is an apt heart for this volume, for its abiding spirit is passion. With feather touch and "kelp green longing," Hoogland pauses over the minutiae of the daily, of the loved. Her lyric intensity embraces family, friends, lovers and literature. Yet she never ignores the untameable passion that circumscribes both love and language, and shades the familiar into wilderness.
Marrying the Sea: Selected Poems
by Janice Kulyk KeeferWinner of the 1999 CAA Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry and shortlisted for the 1999 Pat Lowther Award Fantasies and meditations on friendship and on love: erotic, romantic, tormented, spurned, married, illicit, patriarchal, filial, professional, and shot-gun.

Acclaimed author of Rest Harrow and The Green Library, Janice Kulyk Keefer brings her passionate intelligencs to bear on the beauties and perplexities of these most perennial of human obsessions.

Mars Being Red
by Marvin Bell"Marvin Bell has the largest heart since Walt Whitman."--Harvard ReviewIn a recent interview Marvin Bell said, "I've been trying for thirty years to figure out how best to put the news into poems--what other people would call politics. But there are some hairy aesthetic questions connected to overtly political poems." Mars Being Red is the most political book of Bell's storied career--and one of his most beautiful. Infuriated by our country's military aggression and destructive politics, Bell asks, What shall we do, we who are at war but are asked / to pretend we are not? What Bell has done is craft a book of urgency and insight, anger and action: . . . I am, like you, a witness to the coffins that were Viet Nam and Iraq, to a political machine that came up three lemons . . . I am the big ears and the wide eyes to whom time happened. I lived in stormy weather writing songs of love because, tell me if you know, who can help it? Marvin Bell served on the faculty at the Iowa Writers' Workshop for over thirty years. He is the first and current poet laureate of Iowa.

Martí en su universo: Una antología
by José MartíEl escritor que revolucionó la literatura en español. Nueva edición conmemorativa de la Real Academia Española y la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española. Poeta, ensayista, diplomático y político, el cubano José Martí es uno de los escritores latinoamericanos más importantes en la literatura del siglo XX en español. Precursor del modernismo que saltaría el océano Atlántico para instalarse también en España, inspirador de los movimientos revolucionarios que desembocaron en la independencia de Hispanoamérica, su poesía fue reconocida por autores de la talla de Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gabriela Mistral o María Zambrano. Como poeta, Martí influyó más allá del modernismo, ya que su compromiso político con la libertad hizo que en décadas mucho más recientes algunos de sus poemas fueran adaptados como canciones por figuras como Pablo Milanés o Silvio Rodríguez. Esta antología, preparada porla Real Academia Española y las Academias miembros de la ASALE, incluye toda la poesía de Martí, además de textos en prosa (artículos, ensayos, discursos) que dan cuenta de la dimensión total del autor. La edición se completa con estudios sobre el autor y su obra que dan cuenta de la dimensión de Martí como escritor, además de con un glosario y un índice onomástico. La crítica ha dicho:«Mi impresión es, dejada aparte la prosa, la de que los Versos sencillos son la isla genuina de la originalidad poética de Martí, que son la médula martiana, adonde no pudo colarse el enemigo. Esta isla me es, por eso, particularmente querida. Tengo en ella mis mayores gozos con el Maestro; tengo allí con él mi coloquio más logrado; desde este pedazo de su obra cae sobre mí el rayo martiano más vertical.»Gabriela Mistral «Martí no podía dejar de ser universal, de sentir universalmente el trozo de historia que le tocó vivir.»María Zambrano «Su ternura se alimentaba de un encantado manto freático, en territorios ubicados al sur y al norte. Al viajar, alternando miradas de águila y de paloma, le crecieron nuevas ramas y raíces, como al ser destinado por los aleros para meditar en las más agudas y suaves aristas materiales. Era un coloso colosal.»José Lezama Lima «Sería difícil citar otro caso de identificación de un país con un hombre, que alcance la magnitud de la encarnación de Cuba en la persona y la obra de José Martí.»Cintio Vitier
