Paperback. Condition: New. The poems in Pantry take their titles from kitchen objects. Some objects are common to most kitchens, like dishwashers and double boilers, and others are less common, like pie birds and olive pitters. The poems are not literally about these objects. Rather, the objects, or some aspect of them-a shape, a use, some minute detail-are landmarks in an interior domestic landscape. And few domestic landscapes are more interior than the pantry, a place where objects are laid aside for later use, sometimes years later or not at all. These are the things we hold onto, forget, and discover again. They are the things underlying our material lives. The poems in this book begin here, in the closely packed pantry, but then slip beneath the material objects to explore the domestic lives that spark, seethe, and sometimes explode around them."In Pantry, Lilah Hegnauer exalts kitchen articles and utensils, their graspable measure of handles, solidity of copper, the comparative impermanence of their bodies in relation to ours," says D.A. Powell, recipient of the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Prize in Poetry. "Like Stein and Ponge, Hegnauer uncovers the magical-and tremendously affecting-life of objects in each crenature, joint and flange.""Pantry is no Food Network test kitchen, no fusty closet of canned goods," says Lisa Spaar, author of Vanitas, Rough. "Erotic, witty, smart, playful, these poems make the quotidian realm of objects an occasion for wooing, meditation, and praise. Think of the Gertrude Stein of Tender Button meeting Emily Dickinson ("Vesuvius at Home") in a throw-down match where what's at stake is the veracity and voracity of female desire, and you'll have a sense of the spell cast by this intoxicating wunderkammer of a book.".…

T2 - An advance reading copy paperback book in very good condition that is lightly curled, some light discoloration and shelf wear. 9"x6", 117 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. The poems in Dark Under Kiganda Stars offer a startling lyrical account of a young Catholic American student's time in Uganda, where she taught English in the Kiganda HIghway Secondary School and worked in the local medical clinic during the summer of 2003, living with the family of a Ugandan priest, Father Achilles Kiwanuka. She was given several classes of students, a caning stick, and was told to "teach anything." In the clinic she was soon helping to deliver babies and trending to people with AIDS. WRitten while the author was still in college, it is an astonishing debut, richly musical and descriptive, confident, unpretentious, and bursting with new experience: love, identity, religious faith, and the complex collisions of culture and language. Hegnauer's book will appeal to several different audiences. Poetry-readers will discover the precocious work of a very young writer - only 21 when the book was completed - and be struck by her technical virtuosity and the emotional and intellectual depth of her poems. Those interested in multicultural issues will find a wealth here; the poet's exploration and assimilation of Ugandan culture, people and language is an insightful and memorable record of her experience, told in language that's lively and entertaining. Catholic readers will be fascinated by the quandaries with which she was faced and how she reconciles her actions with her very strong faith. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
