Book Description
Among so many old things inside the oldest large house of Terra Nova, Raquel finds many lost poems long forgotten in time. She also finds other poems in different places with various people. The starting point of this story is about the interest of the main character from this book into unclosing a mystery: Who is or who was the old house’s poet? Between this plot, one question we frequently ask ourselves. Are the time and the love a perfect couple or enemies? I advance that I have no answer for this question in this book, though the reader can reflect and get to their own conclusions. What we know is that in many cases the time can be a hope for those who seek to live a great love, that is, even if today the circumstances aren’t positive, it's waited to be living a great love with intensity on the long run. Now for others, time can be negative, since if love is too late it can be suffocated or even murdered by the social standards and the people who can’t accept the fact of two individuals living their love story, forbidden or not. The character Raquel will take the reader to a trip into the poems found in the old house. The said poet was depending exclusively on time to be able to live the great love of his life. He found on the poems a way to encode his messages, his desires and to proclaim the love he felt for his beloved. He suffered with the dismissal, the distance and the circumstance. On the other hand, he found joy in hope and the fact of being loved by his other half. Love and time. Two words that can mean so much. Passion and poetry also stand for strength and magic. Let the love lived by the poet shows you that many times we must fight to live the passion and not leave it for later, it can be too late. Learn with Raquel the significance of preserving the history of old times, but above all, of keeping alive a beautiful love story!

Book Description
An extraordinarily popular collection of poems written in and about Hawaii. First published in 1928, the book went through two printings a year for many years, and Blanding became the most popular American poet of the period. ""Vagabond's House"" is an ideal expression of that imaginary retreat which each man builds and furnishes according to his heart's desires. Dreamy illustrations give the book a look to match.

Book Description
Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior: HOMES. Moheb Soliman traces the coast of the Great Lakes with postmodern poems, exploring the natural world, the experience of belonging, and the formation of identity along borders. Moheb Soliman’s HOMES maps the shoreline of the Great Lakes from the rocky North Shore of Minnesota to the Thousand Islands of eastern Ontario. This poetic travelogue offers an intimate perspective on an immigrant experience as Soliman drives his Corolla past exquisite vistas and abandoned mines, through tourist towns and midwestern suburbs, seeking to inhabit an entire region as home. Against the backdrop of environmental destruction and a history of colonial oppression, the vitality of Soliman’s language brings a bold ecopoetic lens to bear on the relationship between transience and belonging in the world’s largest, most porous borderland.

Book Description
The house is perhaps the most recognizable emblem of the American ideals of self-making: prosperity, stability, domesticity, and upward mobility. Yet over the years from 1945-2021, the American house becomes more famous for the betrayal of those hopes than for their fulfilment: first, through the segregation of cities and public housing; then through the expansion of private credit that lays the ground for the subprime mortgage crisis of the early twenty-first century. Walt Hunter argues that, as access to housing expands to include a greater share of the US population, the house emerges as a central metaphor for the poetic imagination. From the kitchenette of Gwendolyn Brooks to the duplex of Jericho Brown, and from the suburban imagination of Adrienne Rich to the epic constructions of James Merrill, the American house poem represents the changing abilities of US poets to imagine new forms of life while also building on the past. In The American House Poem, 1945-2021, Hunter focuses on poets who register the unevenly distributed pressures of successive housing crises by rewriting older poetic forms. Writing about the materials, tools, and plans for making a house, these poets express the tensions between making their lives into art and freeing their lives from inherited constraints and conditions.

Book Description
Founded by Maksim Gorky and Kornei Chukovsky in 1919 and disbanded in 1922, the Petrograd House of Arts occupied a crucial moment in Russia's cultural history. By chronicling the rise and fall of this literary landmark, this book conveys in greater depth and detail than ever before a significant but little studied period in Soviet literature. Poised between Russian culture's past and her Soviet future, between pre- and post-Revolutionary generations, this once lavish private home on the Nevsky Prospekt housed as many as fifty-six poets, novelists, critics, and artists at one time, during a period of great social and political turbulence. And as such, Hickey contends, the House of Arts served as a crucible for a literature in transition. Hickey shows how the House of Arts, though virtually ignored by Soviet-era cultural historians, played a critical role in shaping the lively literature of the next decade, a literature often straddling the border between fiction and non-fiction. Considering prose writers such as Yevgeny Zamyatin, Olga Forsh, the Serapion Brothers group, Viktor Shklovsky, Boris Eikhenbaum, as well as poets including Alexander Blok, Nikolay Gumilev, Anna Radlova, Osip Mandelstam, and Vladislav Khodasevich, she traces the comings and goings at the House of Arts: the meetings and readings and lectures and, most of all, the powerful influence of these interactions on those who briefly lived and worked there. In her work, the Petrograd House of Arts appears for the first time in all its complexity and importance, as a focal point for the social and cultural ferment of the day, and a turning point in the direction of Russian literature and criticism.
