Blue Stranger With Mosaic Background
Published by Turtle Point Press, US, 2012
ISBN 10: 1933527609 ISBN 13: 9781933527604
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: New. Koestenbaum's book of poems minces memory and culture into titbits to propose a new 'nude' poetics. The collection draws upon his signature themes - stardom, scapegoating, aestheticism, nudism, exaltation - and cuts them into serial strips. Using techniques such as pointillism, mosaic, aphorism, litany and philosophical investigation, the poet trips through a memory theatre whose luminaries range from Yvonne De Carlo to Hannah Arendt and assembles melancholy tesserae into tidily stanzaic sacrificial offerings.

Green Parrot
Published by Turtle Point Press, US, 2000
ISBN 10: 0962798797 ISBN 13: 9780962798795
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: New. The Green Parrot is a strange and beautiful story with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth snuff box. There is a great deal of reticent drama, but no melodrama. The overtones of the story are left to the reader's imagination. The result is a slender, but captivating and completely self sufficient novel. THE NEW YORK TIMES.

The Drug Of Choice
Published by Turtle Point Press, US, 2012
ISBN 10: 1933527641 ISBN 13: 9781933527642
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: New. Christopher Cahill's debut collection is intensely seductive and inventively disquieting. An omnivore of poetry, Cahill's influences range from contemporary poetry, Irish poetry, Victorian poetry to Classical Latin. Described as the heir of James Schuyler and Phillip Larkin, Cahill's verse heightens and degrades at the same time; his tone is one of nostalgia and scorn. The Drug of Choice is a lush and lacerating debut collection of poetry.

A Line of Driftwood: The Ada Blackjack Story
Published by Turtle Point Press, US, 2021
ISBN 10: 1933527218 ISBN 13: 9781933527215
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: New. A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE, 2021Diane Glancy once again puts Indigenous women at the center of American history in her account of a young Inupiat woman who survived a treacherous arctic expedition alone. "This moving retelling of a heroic woman's journey demonstrates that history lives through an intimate connection between two women beyond time's borders."-Booklist, starred reviewIn September 1921, a young Inupiat woman named Ada Blackjack traveled to Wrangel Island, 200 miles off the Arctic Coast of Siberia, as a cook and seamstress, along with four professional explorers. The expedition did not go as planned. When a rescue ship finally broke through the ice two years later, she was the only survivor. Diane Glancy discovered Blackjack's diary in the Dartmouth archives and created a new narrative based on the historical record and her vision of this woman's extraordinary life. She tells the story of a woman facing danger, loss, and unimaginable hardship, yet surviving against the odds where four "experts" could not. Beyond the expedition, the story examines Blackjack's childhood experiences at an Indian residential school, her struggles as a mother and wife, and the faith that enabled her to survive alone on a remote island in the Arctic Sea.Glancy's creative telling of this heroic tale is a high mark in her award-winning hybrid investigations of suffering, identity, and Native American history.
