In this savage twist on The Art of War, a female Bukowski seeks solace in booze and strange men while struggling with the twelve steps out of her own personal hell. Tough, gritty, at times darkly funny, The Art of Bars is a lyrical meditation on the problems women face in seeking love while numbing real feelings. The unnamed protagonist is on a rocky road to self-destruction while battling herself and her demons. She is both pathetic and endearing because her scoffing veneer is so thin and brittle..

Translation from the Ordinary - Bok av Charity Everitt - Häftad

Translation from the Ordinary - Bok av Charity Everitt - Häftad

Charity Everitt's debut chapbook, Translation from the Ordinary, is anything but ordinary. Her book is built on \ambiguities to be found in even our most cherished truths.\ While she references the book's origin as inspired by two parallel lines from Biblical Psalms, her poems reach far beyond religion or spirituality. Everitt's poetry is often grounded in every-day images-tuna hot dish and salads, spiders, yellow sandals, and more. But she is keenly aware of the complexities and struggles of human..

Crossing the Divide - Bok av Megeen R. Mulholland - Häftad

Crossing the Divide - Bok av Megeen R. Mulholland - Häftad

In this collection of poetry, Megeen R. Mulholland presents a fascinating arrangement of text and image in which family photos set parallel to the text engender poems and in turn forge a relation to her photographer father who died in the poet's infancy. Kodachrome slides like the train cars they depict convey the past into the present, while the selected camera angles shoot beyond the frames into a future that remains to be sorted and formed. Mulholland invites readers to build an unbroken whole..

The Inevitable Return of What We Do Not Love - Bok av Julie Choffel - Häftad

The Inevitable Return of What We Do Not Love - Bok av Julie Choffel - Häftad

Like the best songs, Julie Choffel's The Inevitable Return of What We Do Not Love is a poem fueled by desire. To have \so many / ways to say I want\ is dangerous and selfish, we've heard: we should be content; we should be grateful. But \women are never / not hungry,\ Choffel's mother-speaker insists, aware that her life plays out as two tracks in the same song-the material world of meals and routines as well as the imaginative realm. Poetry is this \parallel universe,\ these \other zones,\..
