Mcclure J (Over 1,300 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Wit and nihilism, deadpan intelligence, and candid examinations of human hungers abound in J.G. McClure's The Fire Lit & Nearing. McClure's smoldering poems take on the grind of time, obsessive love, manliness and its illusions, alternative fates, being and nothingness, and much more. His is a winning voice, dark and self-critical, a bit reminiscent of John Berryman's, a brave and true voice one might dub melancholic/comic/heroic. AMY GERSTLER The recurrent mode of J.G. McClure's The Fire Lit & Nearing is a version of lament and complaint (both with long distinguished poetic traditions), but this tone is relieved and complicated and enriched by McClure's distinctive zaniness and invention, which gives the reader great enjoyment in this kind of gaiety transfiguring all that dread - la Yeats. This inventiveness also makes use of McClure's intelligence in a fundamentally writerly way and communicates the mind-of-the-writer at work in an exhilarating act of making that extracts beauty even from human pain and despair. MICHAEL RYAN J.G. McClure's first book, The Fire Lit & Nearing, is a wild cosmically inclusive, sometimes surreal, sometimes hilarious but always compelling thought experiment about contingency as both a source of freedom and inescapable pain. These poems embody an irrepressible charm, a formal poise and wit that I find welcoming, even life affirming, even in the midst of sorrow. A truly beautiful book. ALAN SHAPIRO.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The Nymph from Heaven tells the story of possibly the most famous love triangle of all time, the results of which still ring down the centuries to us today; that of Henry VI, Katharine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. This intriguing story is juxtaposed with the captivating tale of Henry's younger sister, Mary Tudor. Almost everyone knows that King Henry VI of England had six wives and two daughters, but many do not realize that he also had two sisters. Both of King Henry's sisters became queens through dynastic marriages, but their fates were very different. Margaret, King Henry's elder sister, became Queen of Scotland, while Mary, his younger sister, became Queen of France. The Nymph from Heaven is a historical novel based on the life of Henry's younger sister, Mary Tudor. Mary, not to be confused with her niece, Bloody Mary, graced the stage of European politics for only a few short years, but her story is a fascinating one. Born a beautiful princess into Tudor England in the late Middle Ages, Mary's hand was sought in marriage from the age of three. But bound to duty by her high position, Mary knew that any match arranged for her would almost certainly take her out of England for marriage with a stranger in a foreign land. But Mary falls in love with a poor English knight, and is determined to marry him. Through many trials and tribulations, and against all odds, Mary marries her one true love. But the price may prove too high. Sluis, Kimberly J (illustrator).…
