Paperback. Condition: New. Punctuated by rhyme and shaped by traditional forms, the poems in Small Pointed Things turn encounters with the natural world and scenes from family life into acts of self-discovery. Poignant and funny in equal measure, many of these poems address human concerns by comically reimagining them through the analogous 'lives' of plants and animals - from snowdrops to love-lies-bleeding, manatees to warthogs, scorpions and moths to bats and swallows. Animals and insects provide opportunities for reflection: the difference between bats and swallows unpacks the complexity of spousal relations, two down-and-out warthogs arouse sudden, if unwarranted shame, and a pair of singing blackbirds tenderly expose the secret to marital compatibility and compromise. There are also poems about poetry and ideas, lasting love and grief. Formally deft and classically inspired, with hints of Wordsworth, Frost and Marianne Moore, the poems in Small Pointed Things seek to uncover various forms of knowledge while taking aim, ultimately, at knowingness itself.'One glimpse of his carapacewill shock us -brandishing pincers like maracas -and his sting, the coup de grâce!'(from 'The Scorpion').…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. The Country Gambler. Book.

Condition: As New. Unread book in perfect condition.

Paperback. Condition: New. "It's rare to open a first book that combines beauty and authority: Erica McAlpine's The Country Gambler is such a book. McAlpine is a dazzlingly accomplished formalist.A powerful intelligence animates these poems, an unusual sensitivity and grace.Among her many gifts, McAlpine is a wizard of syntax. Like Horace, she delights and instructs; like Sappho, she captures the many colors of love, longing, saluting en route what's mortal, what's deathless.There is something of Marianne Moore in her scrupulously observed animals, her dexterities. Yet her art is assuredly, fully her own. These poems evoke animals, plants, erotic predicaments, seasonal shifts of inner and outer weather, impending motherhood: most of all they conjure a sensibility-alert, discriminating, sympathetic, sometimes mordant, profoundly responsive, classically romantic, romantically classical." -Maureen McLane. …
