Описание: John Murphy's third collection of poems is like very little else on the 21st century poetry landscape. Zeppelin Vending Machine Manifesto is a rewardingly complex book that confronts the hyper-technicity of the early 21st century's devastating information-age assault on language, meaning, and truth. Fearless in form and argument, there are no cozy resting places here, none of the emollients of literary comfort. And if the poems are confrontational and vitally demanding, they are beautifully made and record sensitively, through echoes of his own struggle and self-criticism, the physical and mental depletions of living in radically uncertain times. If, as some have suggested, all of the oxygen has been sucked out of the room by the overwhelming success of recent dead giants of Irish poetry, then Murphy has achieved escape velocity on his own rigorous terms. This is a book that rewards, even demands, a creative response from the reader. Enjoy the riddles, jokes, nods, codes, traps, and paradoxes of its language - this is a singular collection.

Описание: Poetry. Spirituality. "I MADE FOR YOU A NEW MACHINE AND ALL IT DOES IS HOPE concerns itself with the language of prayer and the action of prayer. Many of the poems, the psalms] in particular, are the product of my holding some word or phrase or sound in mind and mouth until it somehow exhales and reveals what word or phrase or sound it leads to. It's something more or less or not at all like dusting off some map that has always been exactly as it needed to be, that has never not existed."--Richard Lucyshyn "Richard Lucyshyn sees and hears what others sometimes miss or are not in the mood to receive; his poems change all that; they invite us into a world of astonishing unity and regard, into states and ideas, visions and mysteries, into abundantly and carefully layered regions within that world; we're invited to understand, marvel, and come away with newly minted, newly awakened brain waves; Lucyshyn's gift to us always leaves us grateful, glad and freshly activated."--Dara Wier "Richard Lucyshyn's debut collection is a gorgeously tender, challenging psalm for the reckoners and seekers among us desperate to make sense of our dissonant and broken world, to be better than we are and have been, 'to be again born, machined new'--it's an epic song for the strange unnamable that manages to invent, page after page, a staggering 'new genus of ache.' This collection is itself the machine that hopes, which is the machine we need more than ever right now. Ever incantatory, these poems are a choir, calling for and summoning grace at every turn."--Allison Titus "I MADE FOR YOU A NEW MACHINE AND ALL IT DOES IS HOPE immediately makes demands of you: 'say star and say sun // say halo frost and feather.' And it immediately tells you things about yourself you might not want to hear: 'Your penance is shabby...You will always hold dissonance and it will always be weird.' Lucyshyn earns this by being infinitely more self-critical: 'how many backs I tore / it was me what / 39 lashed / what held the whip / was me / what turned away.' Striking a seemingly impossible balance between what he calls 'a practiced stillness attended to' and the 'ecstasy of text, ' Lucyshyn creates a space both critical and celebratory, frenetic and meditative, contemporary and mythic. And only because he has the integrity to 'wager memories we dare to hold' are we left with 'the oily residue of hope.'"--Chris Tonelli

The poems in A Machine for Remembering were drawn, in part, from the stories, memories, and experiences gleaned by Justen Ahren while volunteering with refugees living in Moria Refugee Camp on Lesvos Island, Greece. The collection began as a way of processing a personal experience but grew into a document of witness and remembering, recording in poetry the journeys of individuals seeking refuge from the violence they had endured. This is W.S. Merwin's The Lice for this generation.

Twenty years ago Nevin Sample walked into a small bank in Deep Cove, robbed a teller at gunpoint and fled into the forest of Cates Park. After a lengthy pursuit, he hid behind a stump at the edge of a small clearing. The police called to him. He raised the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
Nevin had a magnetism, an understated complexity: there were those who loved him, resented him, found him gregarious. To Joe Denham, he was an old, close friend. Regeneration Machine is a 100-stanza, 9,000-word letter-in-verse to Nevin's ghost--a requiem, elegy, lament; a sort of flailing attempt to make sense of the nonsensically violent way that a non-violent, caring, intelligent young man chose to end his life.
Part travelogue, part diary, part poetry, history and genealogy
With an Introduction by Ted Cowan, Scottish historian, University of Glasgow
SUMMARY
An American poet who, according to family tradition, is related to the iconic poet Robert Burns, embarks upon a life-changing adventure through Scotland to find the lost connections to his immigrant forebears.
From Bannockburn to Culloden, Edinburgh to Stirling to Inverness and Skye, Glencoe and Loch Lomond, Glasgow and Dumfries, each page reveals another thread of the lore and the mystery, offering a fresh perspective on the times, the places and the people that are woven into the beautiful tapestry that is Scotland.
As an historical snapshot in time, this book will have significant social and cultural relevance for Scotland and the UK in times to come.
PRAISE FOR THE GHOST OF RABBIE BURNS
"A wonderful book of poetry and a great asset if you are making a trip to Scotland." Duke of Argyll, Chief of Clan Campbell
"Laurence is a true sennachie, a genealogist as well as a bard." Ted Cowan, Emeritus professor of Scottish history and literature, University of Glasgow
"touchingly sincere and thoughtful... laced with a wry but kindly humour." Isla St Clair, singer and broadcaster
"Historically interesting and accurate... a passionate perspective of olden Caledonia." Steve McDonald, composer, Sons of Somerled
"an amusing, heartfelt, historical journey that every exile should take. Weel duin, Laurence." Iain H Scott, Scocha
"Overmire has captured that idea of the warrior/poet/wanderer so many of us dream of being. We can live the adventure of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge, or the devotion of Greyfriars Bobby, or the heartbreak of Culloden. Whither from your armchair at home with a glass of single malt in your hand, or on the plane ride over for your own first Scottish Adventure, I would highly recommend Overmire's capture of his own 'first trip home'." Eric Bullard, President, Clan Buchanan Society Intl., Inc.
"an engaging meditation on Scotland, its history, places and people." Rev. Calum I. MacLeod, Minister of St. Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh
"The imagery evoked in his verse and the moral lessons imparted by Laurence represent the message of Robert Burns for the modern time." Mark Myers, President, Clan Maclean Association of California, USA
"Much of Burns' collected works were captured during his tours of Scotland... this book captures the mood very well as a trail through Scotland." Jock Meikle, President of the Burns Club of London
"Overmire uncovers the heart of each place he visits and helps us know the very soul of this country." Anita Scott-Philbrick, Ph.D, Deputy Chieftain, Clan Scott Society
"Overmire has captured what it is like for those with even a trace of Scottish heritage to long for a connection with their ancestral roots... It is refreshing to view history in the context of poetry." Larry Bardell, President, Oregon Scottish Society
"This book is a poetic, informed and sensitive testament to Scotland - its history, its art, its enduring values, its conflicts, and its spirituality." Weeden Nichols, F.S.A. Scot., President, Clan MacLeod Society USA
"always with an ear/eye on literary or musical echoes... this poet is interested in connections, not separations." Dr. Keith Hughes, English Literature, University of Edinburgh

Описание: Ghost Of is a mourning song, not an exorcism or un-haunting of that which haunts, but attuned attention, unidirectional reaching across time, space, and distance to reach loved ones, ancestors, and strangers. By working with, in, and around the photographs that her brother left behind (from which he cut himself out before his death), Nguyen wrestles with what remains: memory, physical voids, and her family captured around an empty space.
