Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New York Poems is dedicated to ""The City of New York: embattled, gallant, enduring"" by celebrated poet D. H. Melhem, who calls the Upper West Side her ""muse."" D. H. Melhem's sharp eye looks at neighborhood struggles with blight and urban renewal (chastised as ""Negro Removal""). She examines her city from the World Trade Center disaster to the present to the city's future. New York Poems combines her seminal book of poetry, Notes on 94th Street, with her second volume about the neighborhood, Children of the House Afire, whose emblematic title poem describes a tragic fire she witnessed from her second-floor window. ""Requiescant 9/11"" (""let them rest""), a tribute sequence lamenting the martyrs of the World Trade Center closes Melhem's last collection, Conversation with a Stonemason. The author's preface and poem, ""Prospect,"" survey the urban terrain. Melhem concludes with a lyrical panorama of her city's dynamic changes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These two novels complete D. H. Melhem's trilogy, Patrimonies, that began with Blight. Stigma, a dark political satire, and The Cave, a post-nuclear fantasy, confront the crucial issue facing this generation: what kind of world will be our legacy? Unsettling and sometimes terrifying, both novels center on ideological paradoxes created by a military-industrial government pitted against American individualist politics. Stigma offers a vision of civil unrest, unemployment, and a chronic state of war. Books are recycled as toilet paper. Families are conscripted by lottery for the honor of war-work. Selected adults serve in a bizarre bomb factory. Youths are inducted into military service, children relegated to orphanages. Scathing yet awash in dark humor, Stigma relates one family's struggle to survive in and escape a system of perversity and horror. The Cave describes a motley group of people who flee to an abandoned cave, seeking shelter from a nuclear attack. Inside, viciousness, cowardice, and heroic gestures ironically transform their lives into a war. Tensions between family relations and newly formed alliances, communal needs and individual desires, religious beliefs and stark reality move toward a cataclysmic finale, in which one man retrieves a sign of faith. Sparsely poetic, simple in tone but rich in allusion, Melhem's writing in The Cave, as in Stigma and in Blight, beckons readers to lift themselves out of their own lived reality, to look at the strange and threatening clouds on the not-so-distant horizon. Draws on ideological paradoxes created by a military-industrial government pitted against American individualist politics. This title offers a vision of civil unrest, unemployment, and a chronic state of war. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
