"description": "“Dark, playful, incisive and heartbreaking.” —San Diego Union-Tribune Spanning thirty years of dazzling work—from luminous early love lyrics to often-anthologized Asian American identity anthems, from political and subversive hybrid forms to feminist manifestos—A Portrait of the Self as Nation is a selection from one of America’s most original and vital voices. Marilyn Chin’s passionate, polyphonic poetry is deeply engaged with the complexities of cultural assimilation, feminism, and the Asian American experience; she spins precise, beautiful metaphors as she illuminates hard-hitting truths.",

"description": "A new edition of the later selected work of a Nobel Prize-winning poet Often considered to be \"the greatest poet of our age\" (The Guardian), Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995 \"for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.\" He saw poetry as a vocation and credited it with \"the power to persuade the vulnerable part of our consciousness of its rightness in spite of the evidence of wrongness all around it, the power to remind us that we are hunters and gatherers of values.\" Paul Muldoon wrote that Heaney was \"the only poet I can think of who was recognized worldwide as having moral as well as literary authority.\" Shortly before his death in 2013, Seamus Heaney began to compile Selected Poems 1988–2013, and although he was unable to complete the project, his choices have been followed here. This volume encapsulates the finest work from Seeing Things (1991) with its lines of loss and revelation; The Spirit Level (1996) where we experience \"the poem as ploughshare that turns time / Up and over.\"; the landmark translation of Beowulf (1999); Electric Light (2001), a book of origins and oracles; and his final collections, District and Circle (2006) and Human Chain (2010), which limn the interconnectedness of being, our lifelines to our inherited past.",

"description": "Poetry must be irrational.” – Wallace StevensThese six-plus decades' worth of selected poems listed in alphabetical order by title were written over a span of 66 of your 'mad' Poet's 78 earth-years spent on this particular planet (as of January, 2014). They are about activism, agony, childhood, classrooms and schools, Eros, art, dreams and reverie, grief and exultation, tenacity, audacity, mendacity, veracity, rebellion, recollections relished or regretted, sport, the surreal, situational insanity, injustice, joy, whimsy, making music with words, painting pictures with words, making love with words, friends & family, 'in memoriam,' twilight time, and ultimate timelessness. A handful of them mourn or celebrate the eight or nine ladies who succeeded in tweaking and twisting the Poet's innermost viscera at vital crossings. Some are brief; others are longer. Depending on the topic and the Poet's inclination at the time, some are written in rhymed and metered verse, others in free verse, and yet others as PIPs (poems in prose). Many are painfully (or pleasurably) personal—and with several of them, your Poet includes explicatory commentary. He realizes, too, that he must steel himself in anticipation of possible permanent excommunication by certain not-always-so-anonymous individuals of the distaff persuasion who may become angered upon reading many of the more personal ones, but art must be served at whatever cost! Those who have read my 2010 autobiography A Life on the RUN and/or who know me well have undoubtedly noted that the same epithets my antagonists have used throughout the decades to pronounce me unbearable transpose to similar qualities which my supporters have applauded. The bases for these antithetical views have been a) my detractors' or b) my supporters' respective observations of the world, as well as sometimes their direct or indirect encounters with me. In my two other books published by Harmonie Park Press—What OLD MEN Know (also 2010) and Creative Insubordination (2011)—I strive via iconoclastic and sometimes surreal monologues to lift the veils of our collective consciousness and conscience, and I similarly strive in many of these verses. In multiple ways, we all live on a revolving and paradoxically bipolar plane between dream and reality, joy and agony. Dramatic dreams embody the first theatre created by sentient beings, and they have a far greater 'potential of the possible' than do theatre and cinema themselves. Not even the wealthiest Broadway producer or Hollywood mogul could (or could ever have) set forth the lavish and dramatic productions of certain dreams, even with resort to computer-generated special effects. Yet partially through dreams-and-reverie-sharing, your “mad” Poet can and does endeavor to do just that in many of these several decades' worth of impassioned poems, some which from my earliest teen years I had intended one day to put in a book devoted entirely to my poetry. After having now somehow semi-miraculously managed to embark upon my 79th year mostly in one piece, with many surviving poems either memorized or scribbled in old notebooks salvaged from the bottoms of closets and drawers past two divorces and multiple other sad separations, I have indeed finally accomplished this. I hereby serve up these poems to you in this sometimes tranquilly measured and other times borderline scatological collection (but which more frequently you may hopefully find also to be a catalytic and certainly a cataclysmic one).",

"description": "Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry Longlisted for the PEN Open Book Award Carmen Giménez Smith dares to demand renewal for a world made unrecognizable Be Recorder offers readers a blazing way forward into an as yet unmade world. The many times and tongues in these poems investigate the precariousness of personhood in lines that excoriate and sanctify. Carmen Giménez Smith turns the increasingly pressing urge to cry out into a dream of rebellion—against compromise, against inertia, against self-delusion, and against the ways the media dream up our complacency in an America that depends on it. This reckoning with self and nation demonstrates that who and where we are is as conditional as the fact of our compliance: “Miss America from sea to shining sea / the huddled masses have a question / there is one of you and all of us.” Be Recorder is unrepentant and unstoppable, and affirms Giménez Smith as one of the most vital and vivacious poets of our time.",

The Dozen, alive with witches and elephants and Sun Ra and Gucci Mane, broods a necessary and black magic in these poems that explode form through language that is equal parts shit-talk and incantation. In these poems, something wild breaks loose & snatches our edges as Rocheteau rides Time like a broomstick as she takes the black tradition of the dozens and turns into this brilliant glimpse into the black future & now. This book is the work of a bad mamma jama doing it and doing it well, a poet who doesn't flinch in the face of the world, but bucks back.\" -Danez Smith, Author of [insert] boy, Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry",
