Paperback. Condition: Good. An illustrated work of lyric poetry and prose on drinking green tea as a meditation.An Homage to Green Tea is an illustrated collection of poetry and prose on the beneficence of green tea, and ways to experience that beneficence. It collects two works of classical Korean literature into a single volume.?A Poem for Green Tea? is a long poem that includes short-short stories, legends, anecdotes, other related poems, excerpts from reference books about green tea, religious and spiritual (Buddhist/Taoist) writing, and Ch?o?i?s notes to the poem.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. It used to be that all men would be tyrants if they could. Nowadays, or so it would seem from Mark Greenside's collection of short fiction, men are struggling just to get a word in edgewise, and maybe catch a ball game once in a while.The problem with writing about men's insecurities is that they aren't necessarily any more interesting than women's insecurities -- or your neighbour's or your butcher's. After a while, you too want these guys just to shut up and go and walk the dog. For the most part, Mr Greenside does best in the few stories in which he leaves men behind.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Prose poems and flash fictions revealing the heart-wrenching, absurd, life-changing nature of living through Covid, political chaos, and personal upheaval. Peter Conners? unique blend of prose poetry, flash fiction, and other spare poetic forms pays witness to the heart-wrenching, absurd, life-changing nature of surviving a global pandemic during one of the most politically and culturally divisive times in American history. As a divorced father living in a blended family with 4 children, navigating a new marriage, and also caring for elderly parents, pandemic restrictions and their attendant scary weirdness hit hard. After a decade of publishing highly regarded nonfiction books about music and counterculture, Conners knew that only poetry could do these strange days justice. The result is Conners? first prose poetry collection in a dozen years. Moving from raw personal poems like ?One of you went? and ?My father wanders? to overt political rants ?The beaches are filled? and ?Welcome to the last? to comically absurd flash fictions like ?Superhero? and ?Hello, my name is Larry? to meditations on relationships (?A small house;? ?The old husband?) and spirituality (?If each martyr;? ?Love everyone?), Conners strikes all the rich notes that illustrate our humanity, desire for love and connection, and striving for a rebirth that awaits just beyond the edge suffering.?Part Tao, part surrealist dialogue, Peter Conners has penned a book of precise yet effusive runes from the well-gnawed bones of a man reflecting upon his family and nation at midlife. Here we have poet as citizen, philosopher, father, humorist, husband, we have the pandemic (in actuality and as metaphor), we have passing time, memory, ?our whole dumb history,? the theater of self with its ?copious technical difficulties.? These are minimalist and thin-trimmed parable-like stories, dialogues, and beautiful confessions that in the end haggle down the price we?ve paid through the last brutal years, encouraging the reader to take our problems and ?Feed them to the squirrels. Those little fuckers will eat anything.???Sean Thomas Dougherty?What you know after reading only a handful of these poems is that they have the ease, and share the privileges, of being loved and cared for by a master ? not as common a thing in American poetry as you might think. This is an end-of-days story for precisely our times, presented formally in a fluid blending of at least three distinct genres, managing to celebrate them all to rich effects. These poems capture a litany of almost microscopic moments, resolute in how they are illustrative of our stunningly particular days. I love this book and I want you to read it if you care about looking closely at who we are by looking at who we have been.? ?Bruce Weigl ?Beyond the Edge of Suffering goes beyond life's edges, and not only in suffering. This brilliant collection by Peter Conners is a genius book of our times, with masks and viruses, nasal sprays, elixirs, diseases, and exams. It is deep and poignant, with lovely and surprising sparks of humor: a tiny porcelain woman, plays in language: bodies, memories, dreams. Diamonds. Martyrs. Prayers and non-prayers. Genesis and ribs. Fathers and mothers and a son and daughter. Crying Superheroes. Weeping willows. Mosquitos and monkeys and the highest house number in America. This collection is so holy-ghostingly good, it will continue to stay with you.??Kim ChinqueePeter Conners is the author of ten books of poetry, nonfiction and fiction, including the prose poetry collections, Of Whiskey and Winter, and The Crows Were Laughing in Their Trees. He also edited the ground-breaking prose poetry/flash fiction anthology PP/FF: An Anthology, as well as an issue of American Book Review dedicated to prose poetry/flash fiction, and was founding editor of Double Room: A Journal of Prose Poetry and Flash Fiction. In his nonfiction books, he has documented music and countercultural communities in such books as Growi.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this quiet, clear-eyed collection Townsend meditates on the varieties of loss, childhood bereavement, depression and divorce to arrive at the realisation that it is through loss that we come into possession of some of life's most profound gifts. She articulates what it was like to grow up motherless, explores life in a step-family, scrutinises depression, breaks codes of feminine silence, and celebrates the enduring power of place.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Long neglected or scoffed at by poetry purists, the prose poem is now taking its rightful place as a distinct and accepted genre in American letters. Johnson's work as editor of 'The Prose Poem: An International Journal', did much to legitimatise this genre. This book, his second collection of prose poetry, is filled with the mystery, humour, and pathos that make this form so appealing and so accessible. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is the first complete English translation of Campos de Castilla, the book central to Machado's work, which was written between 1907 and 1917. Machado made his living as a teacher, and in 1907 he accepted a post in the isolated town of Soria in Castile. He stayed for five years, marrying and then watching as his young wife slowly died of tuberculosis. Though he moved often during the rest of his life, Castile remained his spiritual center, and the poems, many the result of long walks in the countryside, reflect the landscape there: spare and luminous. Published in a bilingual edition, this classic of Spanish literature also contains poems that address Spain's post-colonial reality and tributes to the writers, thinkers, and poets of his country.…
