Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At once a log of pandemic life in New York City and a meditation on selfhood, memory, and language, Emily Simon's first book is a lyrical and timely experiment in prose fragments.IN MANY WAYS describes a self in process, at odds, and enthralled, in search of the origins of her unsatisfiable pursuit of meaning. The writerly drive to fix the fleeting moment comes up against a contradictory impulse to escape--through writing--the binds of formal codes and conventions. Simon's shifts and disjunctions map the unsteady flow of pandemic time, observing the clash of interior experience with the social world."Reminiscent of a personal journal kept by a brilliant writer, Emily Simon's debut is a stunning compendium of intriguing and astute observations, rich musings on literature, and anecdotal fragments of memories of love and life. Sharp, witty, heartfelt, and alarmingly thought-provoking, In Many Ways is unique in form, profound of mind, fiercely intelligent, and the prose is jaw-droppingly exquisite."--Binnie Kirshenbaum"Emily Simon doubles down on the horizons of possibility when we take non-sequitur as method: to index the devotional, mundane, shamanic thought patterns of contemporary love, politics, and selfhood. Unafraid to tack with the wind, these fragments unfold asymptotically 'as they perform the kind of politics they urgently call for.'"--Rosie Stockton"'Embarrassment is a lesson in size.' Emily Simon's In Many Ways pursues the tributaries of embarrassment through daily life and discovers ways to walk beside them. A lovely work of writing at the pace of living.--Hilary Plum"Shifts and starts, slippages; something is always about to happen. The trains keep moving, or not, charting their sinuous, menacing tracks under and around the city. Emily Simon's body remains in the wind tunnel. Her brain takes pictures for us--and how."--Claudia La Rocco"Simon applies her acute observations and intelligence to the daily life of someone teased by questions of what living is like at this moment, finding and showing us beauty throughout the contradictions."--Ben Fama"What kicks off as a meditation on time and writing swerves into a disquisition into the nature of embarrassment, then widens to accommodate questions of identity, embodiment, familial history, dreamlife, romantic life, and life in NYC amid the pandemic, to name a few. Witty, worried, sad, ecstatic, philosophical, lyrical, and often keenly aphoristic, In Many Ways is a thrilling accomplishment by one of the most compellingly distinctive minds of her generation."--Timothy Donnelly"Simon has a knack for crystalline bursts of insight, and she conveys a genuine sense of yearning. This author has talent to burn."--Publishers WeeklyPoetry. Women's Studies. "IN MANY WAYS describes a self in process, at odds, and enthralled, in search of the origins of her unsatisfiable pursuit of meaning. The writerly drive to fix the fleeting moment comes up against a contradictory impulse to escape--through writing--the binds of formal codes and conventions."-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Blending ecopoetics, ghost story, and sci-fi thriller, Garth Graeper's first full-length collection imagines survival in a world where nature, time, and identity are unstable and predatory.Inspired by sources as wide-ranging as Tarkovsky's Stalker, the comic book character Swamp Thing, and Romantic visionary Dorothy Wordsworth, Graeper's first full-length collection abounds with transmogrifications. Teetering between intimacy and apocalypse, no body, or tree, or sound stays intact for long. No sooner exorcized from a ghostly possession in the Lake District, the reader is driven back into the water cycle, raining down from the sky to feed plants, or reawakened from a dream, trying to grasp a hand, to remember a face. In this ecosystem, where "caught between tall lilacs / bodies spill," green meadows offer less a bucolic backdrop than a site of aggressive reclamation. Propelled by terse language and thorn-sharp images, these poems blur lines between inside and out, challenge anthropocentric notions of self, and explore the volatile space between companionship and competition in an age of dwindling resources."The poems in The Sky Broke Moredocument the difficult work of listening and the powerful attunement it achieves--with our beloveds, with the natural world, with the dead. Graeper's taut lyric braids human and terrestrial sound and sensation--heartbeat and howling, voice and storm, breath and birdsong--into something both beautiful and unsettled: "a density of voices so absolute, you may hear it as silence."--Nancy Kuhl"In dreamlike, painterly lines, The Sky Broke Moredescribes a world that is dying and burgeoning all at once, where "sap and blood" mingle, and where 'one / pale blue flower / on the black / blooms.' Instead of finite endings, there are metamorphoses and--often painful--rebirths, while a terrible and wondrous hybridity holds sway. All is in flux but for one element: voice. In these urgent, deeply felt poems, the artistic urge is what buoys us, and lasts."--Laura Sims "Garth Graeper writes a beautiful, unsettling kind of nature poetry that can only be written by someone who digs into the dirt, tuning into the sounds, smells, textures and shapes of the natural world. What Graeper finds running through this natural world is a kind of sensory language: the world speaks to the poet with its 'tentacles of language.' It's a physical language, and it is often violent. The poems take place in nature's 'blood rain' and 'carnage, ' 'black marsh forcing/tongue/through tongue.' Graeper's poems are short but they are immersive, lively, and almost overwhelming."--Johannes Goeransson"The earth of these poems is sincere and erotic, fraught with the unraveling of bodies in human damage, yet sounding to heal with each tone. Their care is impressive, and gorgeous. Insistently tactile, communicative, Graeper's 'wild need- / song' threads its ear through prose and verse with equal skill. As though holding Ceravolo to ear, the poet sounds (Dorothy) Wordsworth. Bring your heart close to the moss, travel the worm road, on tones beneath tones, 'holy mouth- / to-mouth from under / the mud.' Finding music in language, The Sky Broke Moreoffers gift of passage in dark times.--Jonathan SkinnerPoetry. Environmental Studies.
