Paperback. Condition: New. In these edgy, elegant poems, Eireann Lorsung seeks balance in her world between the need for permanence and the heady seductiveness of the moment. Her intuitive knowledge of poetic form (line breaks, enjambment, repetition, punctuation) and her strong poetic voice channel some of the genre's greats while remaining distinctive. From the prayer-like musicality of "All Through the Night," to the visually dynamic "Oceanside," to the theatrical "Bird Woman, Duck Hunting," these poems exhibit a visceral creativity that establishes the author as a major new voice in the field.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Off the Beaten Track presents new work by twelve writers taking part in a unique collaborative project: each of them was invited to compose one haiku per day for a month, thus contributing towards the total of 365 haiku for a full calendar year. Half of the authors are widely published writers of haiku, while the other half are almost (or entirely) new to the form. This situates the collection within the tradition of English-language haiku, while also seeking to extend its boundaries through the inclusion of 'outsiders' with respect to that tradition. Complementing the haiku are original illustrations by twelve artists, making the volume as visually striking as it is thought-provoking and diverse.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Winner of the 2021 Maine Literary Award in PoetryA Literary Hub "Most Anticipated Book of 2020"A meticulously detailed catalogue of ordinary people performing acts of extraordinary violence, The Century charts an awakening to structures of dominance and violence.In the tradition of witness poetry, The Century tugs apart the quotidian horrors required to perpetuate acts of violence like the Holocaust, the deployment of nuclear weapons in Japan and Iraq, American slavery and its lingering aftermath. When Éireann Lorsung writes of death and dying, of "bodies in the fields becoming the fields," it's the simplicity that's most haunting. After a fire, "some of their skin moved off of them as they ran, a very / simple melting." But these poems don't just witness; they also resist and serve as models for resistant lives. Pushing back against form and grammar, constructions of time and geography, Lorsung traces decades of technological, geopolitical, and cultural shifts through generations and across continents as networks of dominance continue to be stubbornly upheld.The Century is evasive but thorny, splintering in the mind. This collection is a reminder that the arrival of each new century, decade, or year brings with it an invitation to join ongoing movements of resistance, air pockets of hope in the waters that we all swim or drown in.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Jon McGregor writes: 'In these wonderful, breath-stopping and heart-enlarging poems, Éireann Lorsung asks only that we pay close attention - to the text, to the world, to the way the world becomes note by note the text - while she pays close attention alongside us. These are poems conducted at ground level, at walking pace, attentive to the changing of the light, of the seasons, of the certainties we thought we were growing up with. Here are poems about the American Midwest, the English midlands, the low country of Flanders; about flax, fieldfares, rivers, fathers and brothers, lovers, fabrics, sewing, sowing, grammar, bicycles, umbrellas, rain and snow, fading light, damp houses, tea, gardens, glass jars, distance, language, breath, touch, and the strangeness of metaphor. These are poems to attend to, return to, and share with the community of readers who either already adore Éireann Lorsung's work or are about to discover it.'Threaded through with filaments of others' poems - from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Emily Dickinson to Gwendolyn Brooks - Pattern-book's sonnets, couplets, quatrains and invented forms draw on family life, art history, grief, time and the natural world. Woven of recurring images, Lorsung's delight in form brings pattern to vivid life.…
