Book Description
Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 9780811828130
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Books like Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha have signaled the current fascination with the discreetly private side of Japan during the evocative age of dynasties and imperial rule. Ariake, a stunning gift book, offers up the passionate words of the elegant and cultured female courtesans of ancient Japan. It was customary in the late 1st and early 2nd century Japanese courts for women to express their hearts' greatest desires and sorrows through poetry. Translated and compiled in Ariake, these lyrical and poignant verses of seduction, love, and lament are both simple and extraordinary. Illustrated throughout with gorgeous collages that evoke the color, fabric, and textures of the East, Ariake brings to life the subtle eloquence of ancient Japan and the universal passions and torments of love. Ariake is an exquisite and timeless volume of the heart's longing.

Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Smoke is a soulful, sensual exploration of love through the eyes of a woman who spent much of her twenties "walking the periphery". From the impassioned "Locks" to the tongue-in-cheek "Arithmetic", Smoke pleasurably swings between eroticism, fantasy, and full-on confessional. Rich in narrative, lyricism, and astonishing candor, Smoke infuses an age-old subject with sobering observations about sexuality, politics, race, longing, and as the title alludes, the startling power of bad habits.
