Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Return Against the Flow by Susana Praver-Pe rez is a memoir-in-verse that travels back and forth between Puerto Rico and its diaspora, much like the island s pattern of circular migration over the years. Reflecting her personal journey across geographies and languages, Susana s poems move be…tween English and Spanish, and capture the tempo of ambient sounds, such as drumbeats of bomba, or a black-plumed chango chirping at dawn. She unflinchingly explores the daily struggles Puerto Rico faces, while exuberantly celebrating the island s culture, its peoples, and the concept of return . This is a voyage via words the reader will remember long after turning the last page. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Compression has always been one of the poet's most powerful and intoxicating tools, their process of sculpting the poem until it advances for inspection only its most essential mysteries and delights. In Ruth Baumann's fearless, commanding debut collection, Parse, it becomes something more--the strateg…y more spiritual than aesthetic, with the stakes being nothing less than the poet's own soul. It's rare to see a debut poet build such alluring density, or such incantatory silence. Baumann's is a devastating, urgent music: 'Above the frame bells toll. / All blood out of / focus. Can you hear?'"--Kaveh Akbar "It is necessary, at times, for the reader's heart to be wrenched loose from its safe chamber where it doesn't have to look at lives shattered by violence. Parse is an impossibly unflinching work of insight by a poet who has 'heard / a bird cry in the middle of the night // like it needed dawn now.' With unparalleled intellectual and artistic honesty, Ruth Baumann articulates a childhood ransacked by familial havoc and an adolescence undone by sexual violence. Like our very best poetry, Parse is written for others, and literature's human truth is broadened by its presence. Here is an injured, unsettling and, yes, a living song."--Katie Ford "Ruth Baumann's Parse is a gorgeous mosaic of the fractured pieces of trauma, the glittering jagged shards of memory and annihilation, adoration and loathing, utter darkness and divine light. This is a journey into the soul's dark night, but one that is illuminated by the lantern of art. A beautiful and touching debut collection."--Barbara Hamby.

Paperback. Condition: New. I know as much as I know,' Baumann writes, 'and still get out of bed.' And what trauma survivor has not marveled at this exact triumph? THORNWORK is a rigorous examination of the abundant hunger of both body and psyche to survive. This generous work confronts our inadequacies: 'We have tried you, langu…age, but you have not been enough,' and nurtures even our most imperceptible efforts: 'I have almost enough courage to keep walking myself home,' offering a realistic portrait of the untidy endeavor to persevere."--Jeanann Verlee "THORNWORK sings to the soft sleeping animal at the center of us all, and shows us that to love wrongly is still to love. It's a eulogy for the former self, a prayer, a ghost story. This is an urgent, spell-binding book." --Meg Freitag "Ruth Baumann's THORNWORK is painted with vertiginous desires, 'I wake up how a thief wakes up, one want at a time.' These poems explore what happens when we harm for or are harmed by that which we desire--'god is not a pitcher plant / It's us humans that eat each other.' Baumann leads us into a world that is both familiar and foggy, both lonely and suffocating, a world where 'Life fidgets everywhere.' It isn't Baumann's job to lead us back out--she is here to tell us what's at stake, she is here to show us the 'new angles.' Come in and have a look around. 'Make a sudden noise. See which animals in us come out.'"--Paige Lewis.
