Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Selected by Jake Skeets for the 2025 National Poetry Series, a reverent and revelatory debut examining language, memory, and identity.You looked at me like there was no / nest in my throat, Hajjar Baban writes in this spare, striking collection. Like I knew how / to sing. Like it was okay I had nowhere / to be. Writing from a mixed Afghan Kurdish heritage, she navigates the truth that exists between memory and erasure. Equal measures grounded and unmoored, the poems in LOW FLYING PLANES search for answers to the impossible question of belonging, catching fragmented glimpses of the plane intercepting sight of the shooting / star, satellites in the night sky, the language my father / didnt invite me to.Wielding a breakable and cautious syntax, Baban writes with a precision that highlights the complexity of interiority under surveillance and the tension between safety and yearning. Our speaker is hypervigilant and uncommonly observant, seeking to understand what language cannot capture: layered volumes of loss, the unshakable instinct to hide, a name for how my father looks / at the sky.Guarded yet resolute, inquisitive yet profoundly wise, LOW FLYING PLANES paints absence into a tangible shape. If language is to be made whole, if memory, if truth, Jake Skeets writes of this collection, it begins with a book like this.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Opus II, Issue III of Half Mystic Journal is a constellation of contemporary poetry, prose, and visual art celebrating music in all its forms. This issue showcases the theme of vesper: an event horizon, a bell tolling in a vacuum, a cicada's song harsh and generous enough to wear twilight to bone. Sister and darkest answer to Issue III's nocturne theme, vesper troubles the gravity of waking. Our thirteenth issue breathes best in the hour without honest name. It is a sound the throat produces only once, at the last lit edge of the world.Issue XIII features the voices of Jordan Escobar, Justin Groppuso-Cook, David Eileen, Russell Karrick, Maria Gray, Ava Chen, Abigail Sims, Joel Peckham, K.M. Hanslik, Hana Saad, Topaz Winters, Kaitlin Tan, Rucker Manley, arushi (aera) rege, Es K. Harvey, B. Sancho, and Jaydra Johnson.The vesper issue does not arrive so much as descend: unhurried as smog or sleep paralysis, inevitable as the ouroboros' endless coil. A shattered mirror multiplies the face of darkness, silence textured and breathing, the body made uncertain of its edges. You've been here before, in the dream that returns you always to the same locked room. The door opens only inward. You've been knocking all night. Come inside.…
