    Hauptbeschreibung How to read - and how to teach poetry? The present volume on 'Modern American Poetry' assembles ten essays that distill and share tips, facts, arguments, interpretations, and techniques that a number of German and American scholars believe to be helpful when reading and teaching American poetry. The essays introduce topics such as the poetry of war and postmodern poetic experimentation, dwell on teaching Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, and Frank O'Hara, and relate the experiences of translating texts by the African American poet June Jordan in the classroom. Imagism and confessionalism are re-negotiated while more recent developments, such as slam poetics and South Asian diasporic verse are introduced. All essays share a single goal: to provide 'Points of Access' for interested readers and especially instructors to transform an exciting, chaotic, contested field of study into lessons that are enlightening and, ideally, enjoyable

    WINNER OF THE 2010 AGNES LYNCH STARRETT POETRY PRIZE "Glenn Shaheen is claiming new ground for American poetry. His poems are about the nightmares of information overload, collapsing infrastructure, ubiquitous violence, and other ills of late empire. The subjects are not happy, but Shaheen's clear vision and crisp-often witty-language offer the pleasures of surprise, discovery, and recognition." -Ed Ochester

    "Emotionally direct and visually all alike in column-shaped free verse, the poems in this debut from the Minneapolis-based Kiesselbach open up to show startling verbal skills, intellectual depths, and sensory complications. 'Beach Thanksgiving' wheels from seaside scenes into one, then another, sad memory: 'Fire's an assortment of sparks down the beach/ beside which your new family cooks./ Asked to bear a ring,/ you pulled and pulled at your hair.' For an elderly mother, once a gardener, 'Joy's bolted/ in her face to sorrow/ like a pair of shears.' Marital love in the present (Kiesselbach has a particular talent for love poems), what looks like abuse in the past, the cycle of green growing things, the cold of the north, and the warmth of the animal world all inform these investigations of confession and its discontents, of commitments given and withheld, sometimes through stark life story but more often, in a wonderful involution, through symbols contemplated at short remove-in turkeys, for example, whose unlikely dignity rebukes human discontents: 'In fall's/ ballroom they bow/ and straighten, straighten,/ bow, and finish/ with a salad course.'" -Publishers Weekly

    World Tree is in many respects, David Wojahn's most ambitious collection to date; especially notable is a 25-poem sequence of ekphrastic poems, "Ochre," which is accompanied by a haunting series of drawings and photographs of Neolithic Art and anonymous turn of the last century snapshots. Wojahn continues to explore the themes and approaches which he is known for, among them the junctures between the personal and political, a giddy mixing of high and pop culture references, and a deep emotional engagement with whatever material he is writing about. Winner of the 2012 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize from the Academy of American Poets

    Interrogation Palace is a career-spanning selection of work from an important American poet, drawing upon each of David Wojahn's six previous collections and a substantial gathering of new work. Moving fluently from personal history to public history, and from high culture to popular culture, Wojahn's searching and restless poetry has been considerably acclaimed, both for the candor of its testimony and the authority of its formal invention. He is above all an elegiac poet, tender and ferocious by turns, whether mourning the loss of family and loved ones or the hopes and aspirations of the baby-boomer era. Interrogation Palace confirms David Wojahn's status as one of the most inventive, passionate, and ambitious figures of his generation

    Sound of the Ax brings together for the first time over four hundred aphorisms and twenty-six aphoristic poems by one of America's most essential poets of the twentieth century. Many readers are familiar with the trenchant nature of William Stafford's poems, with lines such as "Justice will take us millions of intricate moves" and "Your job is to find what the world is trying to be," but have never had the opportunity to read a sustained selection from the thousands of wise, witty, and penetrating statements he created in over forty years of daily writing in his journal. In keeping with Stafford's varied interests, the aphorisms in Sound of the Ax explore many topics-war and peace, involvement, aging, appearances, fear, egotism, writing, nature, animals, suffering, faith, living an ethical life, and so on-with his incisive view. The poems are either made up entirely or primarily aphorisms, and range from the well-known "Things I Learned Last Week" to some never before collected. Readers will find much to enjoy and to think about here, and will return over and over to Sound of the Ax for inspiration, pleasure, and wisdom from an author noted for his integrity and mindful living

    By any measure, Gary Snyder is one of the greatest poets in America in the last century. From his first book of poems to his latest collection of essays, his work and his example, standing between Tu Fu and Thoreau, has been influential all over the world. Riprap, his first book of poems, was published in Japan in 1959 by Origin Press, and it is the 50th anniversary of that groundbreaking book that is celebrated with this new edition. A small press reprint of that book included Snyder's translations of Han Shan's Cold Mountain Poems, perhaps the finest translations of that remarkable poet ever made into English. For the 50th anniversary, this completely redesigned edition of Riprap is accompanied by a CD of Snyder reading all the poems in this collection, with introductions and asides. The recording, made in the poet's home by Jack Loeffler, marks the first time a complete reading has ever been available in a commercial edition. One of the finest collections of poems published in the 20th century, this edition will please those already familiar with this work and excite a new generation of readers with its profound simplicity and spare elegance Books by Gary Snyder -- Dedication -- contents -- Riprap -- MID -AUGUST AT SOURDOUGH MOUNTAIN LOOKOUT -- THE LATE SNOW & LUM BER STRIKE OF THE SUMMER OF FIFTY -FOUR -- PRAISE FOR SICK WOMEN -- PIUTE CREEK -- MILTON BY FIRELIGHT -- ABOVE PATE VALLEY -- WATER -- FOR A FAR-OUT FRIEND -- HAY FOR THE HORSES -- THIN ICE -- NOOKSACK VALLEY -- ALL THROUGH THE RAINS -- MIGRATION OF BIRDS -- TŌJI -- HIGASHI HONGWANJI -- KYOTO : MARCH -- A STONE GARDEN -- THE SAPPA CREEK -- AT FIVE A.M.

    The New York Times has called Mary Oliver's poems "thoroughly convincing - as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring." In this stunning collection of forty poems - nineteen previously unpublished - she writes of nature and love, of the way they transform over time. And the way they remain constant. And what did you think love would be like? A summer day? The brambles in their places, and the long stretches of mud? Flowers in every field, in every garden, with their soft beaks and their pastel shoulders? On one street after another, the litter ticks in the gutter. In one room after another, the lovers meet, quarrel, sicken, break apart, cry out. One or two leap from windows. Most simply lean, exhausted, their thin arms on the sill. They have done all they could. The golden eagle, that lives not far from here, has perhaps a thousand tiny feathers flowing from the back of its head, each one shaped like an infinitely small but perfect spear Dedication -- Contents -- Part 1 -- Seven White Butterflies -- At Round Pond -- The Dog Has Run Off Again -- Am I Not Among the Early Risers -- Pilot Snake -- So -- Spring -- Stars -- Three Songs -- Shelley -- Maples -- The Osprey -- That Sweet Flute John Clare -- Sand Dabs, Three -- Forty Years -- Black Snake This Time -- Morning Walk -- Rain, Tree, Thunder and Lightning -- The Rapture -- Fox -- Gratitude -- Little Summer Poem Touching the Subject of Faith -- Dogs -- At the Shore -- At Great Pond -- Part 2 -- Part 3 -- Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches -- Acknowledgments

    "The river is largely implicit here," writes Linda Gregerson about her acre of woods. Whether open to view or underground, her river maps communal fate: everything that lives is its direct dependent. The river can also bring infection; it is a branching repository for toxicity. It carries news, much of which is a litany of harm - recklessness, malice, failures of heart, and failures of attention - but the poems in WATERBORNE somehow extract from adversity a syntax of devotion. "The past / that has a place for us will know us by / our scattered wake," Gregerson also writes. The resilient tercets in which these poems are written might themselves be thought of as a scattered wake - the luminous record of movement through various lives. These stirring poems can be considered tools for staging daily rescues from oblivion. Their occasions are diverse - a barn fire, a wounded deer, a child's determined struggle with a bicycle - but their instinct is always to wrest from the impure world a vernacular of praise.

    In this generous selection, Grace Schulman moves from "the altering light" of earthly experience to the possibility of the miraculous. In the celebrated love poem "The Present Perfect," she sees "wildflowers / poking through gravel cracks in our neighbors' driveway / slender but fortunate, built to last their day," and stanzas about an El Greco painting close with "one beam that God devised, before the / sun, would have shown us the world in one glance." Schulman's work so far evolves from a vision of unity expressed in her first collection, BURN DOWN THE ICONS. Her second book, HEMISPHERES, opens with a beautiful blessing, and "has that first requisite of poetry - the world comes alive in the work . . . There is nothing familiar about this poet's genius" (New York Times Book Review). The selections from FOR THAT DAY ONLY contain vivid scenes of New York in the tradition of Whitman, Crane, and Moore. THE PAINTINGS OF OUR LIVES, Schulman's most recent book, includes a sonnet sequence that calls on the art of many cultures to illuminate the universality of grief. The ten new poems that complete this breathtaking volume attest to this poet's gifts for her craft and for the expression of praise Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Half Title -- BOOKS BY GRACE SCHULMAN -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Epigraph -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- Contents -- From BURN DOWN THE ICONS (1976) -- From HEMISPHERES (1984) -- From FOR THAT DAY ONLY (1994) -- From THE PAINTINGS OF OUR LIVES (2001) -- NEW POEMS -- Back Matter -- NOTES -- About the Author

    This is Donald Hall's most advanced work, extending his poetic reach even beyond his recent volumes. Conflict dominates this book, and conflict unites it. Hall takes poetry as an instrument for revelation, whether in an elegy for a (fictional) contemporary poet, or in the title series of poems, whose form imitates the first book of the Odes of Horace. The book's final section, "Extra Innings," moves with poignancy to questions about the end of the game Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Half Title -- POETRY BY DONALD HALL -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Dedication -- Another Elegy -- Baseball -- The Museum of Clear Ideas OR SAY: HORSECOLLAR'S ODES -- Extra Innings -- Back Matter -- Notes

    This is the touchingly entitled collection of poems William Matthews had completed shortly before dying, just after his fifty-fifth birthday in November 1997. Is death ever entirely unexpected? Not, perhaps, by a collector of experience, a gourmet of language, who can refer to "death flickering in you like a pilot light." In AFTER ALL, Matthews seems to be looking his last on all things lovely: music, food and wine, love. In the stunning central poem, "Dire Cure," which forms a kind of spine to the book, he describes the remarkable implications of the "heroic measures" that saved the life and restored the health of his wife from "a children's cancer (doesn't that possessive break your heart?)." He evokes the death of his favorite jazz musician, Charles Mingus. He speaks of cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, of the past, of history, of joys proposed, but especially, with his characteristic relaxed wit, of language and its quiddities: "My love says I think too damn much and maybe she's right." After All is the last word from one of the most pensive and delicious of all our poets Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Half Title -- Books by William Matthews -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents
