Villa Negativa (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Biblioasis, Emeryville, 2021
ISBN 10: 1771963492 ISBN 13: 9781771963497
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With less content in my lifeI am infinitely more contentAgainst the backdrop of a sibling's death, an eating disorder, and a few very dismal dating relationships, Villa Negativa looks for laughter behind darkness: the intruder who politely removes her shoes, the fabricator whose closest relationship is with fibreglass, the anorexic who sends the Diet Coke back because it tastes too good. Meditative and mischievous, confessional and philosophical, sincere and sly by turns, Sharon McCartney's seventh collection articulates an essential truth of self-knowledge-that "to perceive something, we have to be able / to stand away from it." Villa Negativa is where you are when you don't know who or what you are-a place we all inhabit. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. T.S. Eliot and Tennessee Ernie Ford, Buddha and Jesus, Jung and Heidegger. Love, solitude, obliteration, the ocean, and a sad neighbor who feeds pigeons. Metanoia is an aphoristically narrative poem that engages all of these, a book-length meditation on transformation, enlightenment, and on opening one's eyes. McCartney's work evinces that journey, the junket into the self. Sharon McCartney is the author of numerous poetry books. She has an MFA from the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop and an LLB from the University of Victoria. She lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she works as a legal editor.

Paperback. Condition: New. First. Finalist, Next Generation Indie Book AwardHeart-corroding sex with a tin woodman. A foundering marriage like a cat on the brink of death that still manages to purr. Sharon McCartney's visceral exploration of relationships - how they begin and end, the tenuous threads that hold people together, and the events that can tear them apart - is unstinting, eyes-wide-open aware. Beginnings, endings, transitions: none elude the sometimes sardonic but always sinuous language of these finely wrought poems.

Karenin Sings the Blues
Language: English
Published by Goose Lane Editions, CA, 2003
ISBN 10: 0864923724 ISBN 13: 9780864923721
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Paperback. Condition: New. First. Karenin Sings the Blues is a meditation sparked by the actors in Tolstoy's 19th-century masterpiece, Anna Karenina. Entering this famous saga of derailed love, McCartney explores the repercussions and unintended consequences of Anna and Vronsky's passion. Here, Anna Karenina's cuckolded husband "sings the blues," but Count Vronsky, too, bemoans his disappointed expectations. McCartney imagines the anxieties of Anna's children, the self-absorption of busybodies and in-laws, the ambivalence of servants and friends sucked into Anna's romantic vortex. Set at the height of the industrial age, the roar of the train and the pounding rhythm and flying soot of the steam locomotive epitomize the vigour of McCartney's poems. The same vigour and clear vision characterize the "California" poems, which deal with McCartney's youth in urban southern California. Domestic chaos amid cultural inanity creates turmoil and fear. How is it possible to love a distant mother, a father off somewhere with a third or fourth wife, a wounded and angry brother, a terminally ill sister consuming everything? How is it possible not to? How can an adolescent know the difference between self-preservation and self-destruction? These concerns continue into adulthood and motherhood in "Persuasion," the third section of Karenin Sings the Blues. Accessible and always forthright, McCartney combines plain-speaking revelations about family and domestic life with literary criticism and witty cultural play.

Language: English
Published by Goose Lane Editions, Fredricton, 2003

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Karenin Sings the Blues is a meditation sparked by the actors in Tolstoy's 19th-century masterpiece, Anna Karenina. Entering this famous saga of derailed love, McCartney explores the repercussions and unintended consequences of Anna and Vronsky's passion. Here, Anna Karenina's cuckolded husband "sings the blues," but Count Vronsky, too, bemoans his disappointed expectations. McCartney imagines the anxieties of Anna's children, the self-absorption of busybodies and in-laws, the ambivalence of servants and friends sucked into Anna's romantic vortex.

The same vigour and clear vision characterize the "California" poems, which deal with McCartney's youth in urban southern California. Domestic chaos amid cultural inanity creates turmoil and fear. How is it possible to love a distant mother, a father off somewhere with a third or fourth wife, a wounded and angry brother, a terminally ill sister consuming everything? How is it possible not to? How can an adolescent know the difference between self-preservation and self-destruction? These concerns continue into adulthood and motherhood in "Persuasion," the third section of Karenin Sings the Blues. Accessible and always forthright, McCartney combines plain-speaking revelations about family and domestic life with literary criticism and witty cultural play. In SHARON McCARTNEY's eagerly anticipated second poetry collection, Anna Karenina's jilted husband sings the blues. The locomotive she falls under relives the impact, while Count Vronsky's revolver laments the whole affair. A lyric meditation on Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece, McCartney's "Anna Karenina" suite takes on the self-absorbed perspectives of the characters and confers volition and regret on inanimate objects. With a novelist's sensibility, McCartney enters this famous tale of derailed love. She gently pulls on the threads of Tolstoy's intricate tapestry to find new realities hidden beneath its moral and narrative complexities. Other poems in "Karenin Sings the Blues circle back to more familiar territory. Some probe McCartney's 1970s childhood in the vacuous culture of suburban southern California, and several reflect on friends, on Jane Austen's characters, and even on Wile E. Coyote. Accessible and always forthright, McCartney combines plain-speaking revelations about family and domestic life with literary criticism and witty cultural play.
