* Finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry * * Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry * Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism * Winner of the NAACP Image Award * Winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize * Winner of the PEN Open Book Award * ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, NPR. Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Slate, Time Out New York, Vulture, Refinery 29, and many more . . . A provocative meditation on race, Claudia Rankine's long-awaited follow up to her groundbreaking book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric. Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV-everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.

Book Description
A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives. How to Read a Poem is an unprecedented exploration of poetry and feeling. In language at once acute and emotional, National Book Critics Circle award-winning distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch describes why poetry matters and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message can make a difference. In a marvelous reading of verse from around the world, including work by Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath, among many others, Hirsch discovers the true meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. "The answer Hirsch gives to the question of how to read as poem is: Ecstatically."—Boston Book Review

Book Description
Black Nature is the first anthology to focus on nature writing by African American poets, a genre that until now has not commonly been counted as one in which African American poets have participated. Black poets have a long tradition of incorporating treatments of the natural world into their work, but it is often read as political, historical, or protest poetry--anything but nature poetry. This is particularly true when the definition of what constitutes nature writing is limited to work about the pastoral or the wild. Camille T. Dungy has selected 180 poems from 93 poets that provide unique perspectives on American social and literary history to broaden our concept of nature poetry and African American poetics. This collection features major writers such as Phillis Wheatley, Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sterling Brown, Robert Hayden, Wanda Coleman, Natasha Trethewey, and Melvin B. Tolson as well as newer talents such as Douglas Kearney, Major Jackson, and Janice Harrington. Included are poets writing out of slavery, Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, and late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century African American poetic movements. Black Nature brings to the fore a neglected and vital means of considering poetry by African Americans and nature-related poetry as a whole. A Friends Fund Publication.

Book Description
The longer we live the more we experience and understand Poetry has been one of the greatest expressions for revealing and capturing some of the heartfelt and meaningful moments and feelings of life, past and present. This is a genuine attempt to bring poetry and prose back into focus with a newer and lighter appeal. The imaginative variations presented respect the technicalities of English poetry and prose. Clear and logical arrangements certainly have been utilized throughout to stimulate sentiment, emotion and interest. The contents are diversified and depict tales of lasting romantic love and provide food for thought, Many of the poems touch on a few current viewpoints and expose man's conflicts with his own being and that of nature and progress. The familiar unmeasured rhythm of prose portrays legendary, theoretical, philosophical or hypothetical events. Life is full of unforgettable or unusual incidents. Some go beyond the normal expected pattern, giving our logic a different outlook. These poems are concise and condensed epilogues fused to form and vivify related moments in the reader's mind. Every verse endeavors to establish a decipherable and edifying word picture. Overused analogies or metaphors in poetry have served their purpose in a slower paced and unlearned society. Twentieth Century American English has become a fast moving, direct to the point and multiple meaning language. Interpretations of analogies in today's times if overused, would possibly become distorted and the author's intended meaning could be lost. Even though the poems contained in this volume project a whole range of concepts, one certainly doesn't need an oral interpreter or translator of literature to understand them. Perhaps a few poems included can be set to song, but most consist of lengthy metrical meters which were used to capture detailed truths and thoughts. For some reason not known by me, man constantly overlooks the connection between rhythmic-rhyming to memory and human thought patterns and the most successful method of rote learning. It's apparent when every line in a poem or song are often long remembered at all learning levels and with the exception of catchy phrases or quotes the exact details and wording of other written works are generally forgotten . Writing poetry became a labor of love and passion for me, a secret retreat from being a wife (thirty-nine years) and Mother of four sons and one daughter. My family and friends were very supportive and I hope my contribution will serve as an inspiration to others who have marvelous reflections to share.

Book Description
"These harrowing poems make montage, make mirrors, make elegiac biopic, make 'a dope ass trailer with a hundred black children / smiling into the camera & the last shot is the wide mouth of a pistol.' That's no spoiler alert, but rather, Smith's way—saying & laying it beautifully bare. A way of desensitizing the reader from his own defenses each time this long, black movie repeats."—Marcus Wicker "Danez Smith's BLACK MOVIE is a cinematic tour-de-force that lets poetry vie with film for the honor of which medium can most effectively articulate the experience of Black America."—Rain Taxi

Book Description
“I wrote what I wanted to read” is what I would like to say. But no. That’s not entirely true. I wrote what came to me. Every drop of ink makes a unique design on paper. Here, every poem is a linear yet random expression of myself. Some are vents, some are thoughts and some are what left dents in my mind. Black day White is a collection of my words, my ink blots. Here’s hoping that you are able to resonate with some of my thoughts and they voice your words too… one blot at a time.
