Hopeful, passionate, and full of sharp discoveries about the dangers of the world, Fire on a Circle is an exploration of the fires we traverse to become our true selves. Written in free verse, verse monologue, and ancient Nordic formats, these poems dig for the roots of the spirit through exploration of survival, self-discovery, and a passion for connection to the author's ancestors and landscape. Grounded in years of poetic and runic studies, Ward weaves the mothers of her family, the struggles against addiction, and pagan practice throughout this debut poetry collection.

"For those who enjoy poetry as parable, In the Language of Lost Light illustrates one truth after another. For those who enjoy heraldry and pageantry, legend and lore, it revisits our most familiar recitals. Delve into timeless truths set in the tradition of Arthur, the metaphysical framework of Dante-and in the here and now." The Activist Group, formed in the 1930s around Lawrence Hart, might be described as neo-Modernists. The Activist credo is that every word in a poem should be poetically "active," employing some kind of highly focused poetic technique-a principle not as self-evident as it might sound. Among the group's signature techniques are clusters of intense metaphoric imagery and a preference for associational, rather than narrative organization. Patricia Nelson has worked with the "Activist" group of poets in California for many years. In the Language of Lost Light follows the Activist credo. "Once again, Patricia Nelson grips the conscience with things beyond our grasp, holds us tight in suggestion, white space, and open air. Here's a study of the thin line between the essence and the interpreted, drawn out in quiet awe and wonder." (Material drawn from Jeff Santosuosso.)

Was tun, wenn eine Seuche um die Welt geht? Diese Frage stellten sich die Menschen schon lange, bevor wir es mit Covid-19 und den zugehörigen, teils schmerzlich einschneidenden Maßnahmen zu tun hatten. Das Buch von Nicole Schäufler gibt der Corona-Pandemie ein künstlerisches Gesicht. Es erzählt in poetischen Bildern, welche Antworten man vor hunderten von Jahren fand, wenn eine bedrohliche Krankheit ihre Kreise zog. Farbige Aquarelle zeigen, dass die Menschen auch früher schon Masken trugen, Abstand zueinander hielten oder sogar ihren Wohnsitz wechselten, wenn eine Seuche umging.Begleitet wird die stimmungsvolle Bilderreihe mit Passagen aus "Das Dekameron" des italienischen Dichters Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375). Er beschrieb während der großen Pest im Jahre 1348 sehr anschaulich die Suche nach "der besten Medizin gegen dieses Unheil". Dem über 650 Jahre alten Text stellt Nicole Schäufler eine Auswahl neuzeitlicher Gedichte gegenüber: Theodor Fontane, Joachim Ringelnatz, Christian Morgenstern, Else Lasker-Schüler und viele andere spenden Trost in schweren Zeiten. Ein besonderes Geschenkbuch, das Hoffnung zulässt und aktuelles Zeitgeschehen künstlerisch zugänglich macht.Verlag edition riedenburg Salzburg * editionriedenburg.at *Weitere Bücher von Bestseller-Autorin Nicole Schäufler sind unter anderem:* Vom Mädchen zur Frau* Vom Jungen zum Mann* Schwanger im Advent* Mama im Advent

Michelson traveled for extended stays to Finland, Sri Lanka and China. In poems from these ventures, the narrator’s aggressive, appetitive stance and roiling language is replaced by the more narrative, less self-reflexive language of the witness. This is especially true of the Sri Lanka poems, which represent both the visitor’s wonder at an exotic, tropic world and the explicit terrors of trying to negotiate a police state under siege by violent insurgents. Michelson is at all times acutely aware of the politics in which his poetry operates.

Longlisted for the 2020 Toronto Book AwardsMobile is an uncivil feminist reboot of Dennis Lee's Civil Elegies and Other Poems; an urban lament about female citizenship and settler culpability; an homage to working and walking women in a love/hate relationship with Toronto, its rivers and creeks, its sidewalks and parks, its history, misogyny and violence. How do we, in Lee's words, see the "lives we had not lived" that "invisibly stain" the city? What are the sexual politics of occupying space in a city, in a workspace, in history? How can we name our vulnerabilities and our disasters and still find strength?Written in a slippery mix of lyric and experimental styles, Mobile is MacDonald's grouchiest book yet.

A New Year's feast at King Arthur's court is interrupted by the appearance of a gigantic Green Knight resplendent on horseback. He challenges any one of Arthur's men to behead him provided that if he survives he can return the blow a year later. Sir Gawain accepts the challenge and decapitates the knight - but the mysterious warrior cheats death and vanishes bearing his head with him. The following winter Gawain sets out to find the Knight in the wild Northern lands and to keep his side of the bargain. One of the great masterpieces of Middle English poetry Sir Gawain and the Green Knight magically combines elements of fairy tale and heroic sagas with the pageantry chivalry and courtly love of medieval Romance.

As the earliest Arthurian verse-novel in the German language, Hartmann von Aue's Erec was highly influential, not only on the many Arthurian works that followed, but also on courtly narrative verse in general. However, his tale is of more than antiquarian interest. Its subjects-the individual in conflict with society and the destructive force of possessive love-are modern, and its language, when transferred into prose, is more direct and lucid than most contemporary writing. Indeed, it was the conviction that the story deserved a much larger audience than that of medieval scholars which inspired this translation, the first into English.
