Dissolve - Sherwin Bitsui - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

“Bitsui’s poetry returns things to their basic elements and voice in a flowing language rife with illuminating images. A great reading experience for those who like serious and innovative poetry.” — Library Journal Drawing upon Navajo history and enduring tradition, Sherwin Bitsui leads us on a treacherous, otherworldly passage through the American Southwest. Fluidly shape-shifting and captured by language that functions like a moving camera, Dissolve is urban and rural, past and present in the haze of the reservation. Bitsui proves himself to be one of this century’s most haunting, raw, and uncompromising voices. From “(Untitled)”: . . . Jeweled with houseflies, leather rattles, foil-wrapped, ferment in beaked maskson the shores of evaporating lakes.This plot, now a hotel garden, its fountain gushing forth—the slashed wrists of the Colorado River. Sherwin Bitsui was raised in White Cone, Arizona, on the Navajo Reservation. He is the author of two other books of poetry, among them Flood Song , which won an American Book Award. He currently lives in Arizona where he has serves on the faculty of the Institute of American Indian Arts.

The Dangerous Shirt - Alberto Rios - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

The Dangerous Shirt - Alberto Rios - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

"Discursive yet aglitter with images, often abstract and yet insistently regional, the ninth collection from the Arizona-based Rios includes something for almost everyone."— Publishers Weekly "Wonderfully odd, sometimes sad, never predictable... Rios continually surprises us in the way he stretches the meaning of words, turning them this way and that." -- San Francisco Chronicle “Ríos’s verse inhabits a country of his own making, sometimes political, often personal, with the familiarity and pungency of an Arizona chili.”— The Christian Science Monitor “Alberto Ríos is... arguably the best Latino poet writing in English today.”— Prairie Schooner Alberto Ríos’s new poems—magical wormholes through mundane reality—create an improbably true space where human bodies fall through floorboards, prickly feelings of limbs “fallen asleep” are stars buzzing under the skin, and ironed shirts hanging in a closet take on a foreboding sense of danger. Together they are a book of magical realism and cultural physics seeking the “also-moment”—the probable and imaginative directions a single moment might become. “Science may be our best way of understanding the world,” Ríos writes in one poem, “but it may not be our best way of living in it.” The shirt in my closet is dangerous. I shouldn’t have ironed it. Because I have, I will put it on. If I put it on, I will be dressed. If I am dressed, I will be drawn toward the door, The door and not the couch—the door . . . Alberto Rí os is the author of nine books of poetry, three collections of short stories, and a memoir. He has taught at Arizona State University for over twenty-five years. His book of poems The Smallest Muscle in the Human Body was nominated for the National Book Award.

The Theater of Night - Alberto Rios - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

The Theater of Night - Alberto Rios - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

“In this rhapsodic series of poems, Ríos presents the story of Ventura and Clemente Ríos, a married couple living near the United States-Mexico border. . . . Ríos’s project [is] indebted to magic realism but rooted in naturalism.” —The New Yorker “Ríos creates the feeling of enchanted or intimate lore within a family [and] evokes the mysterious and unexpected forces that dwell inside the familiar.” —The Washington Post Now in paperback, and following the success of his National Book Award nomination, Alberto Ríos’ new book is filled with magic, marvel, and emotional truth. Set along the elusive southern border, his poems trace the lives and loves of an elderly couple through their childhood and courtship to marriage, maturity, old age, and death. Like the best of storytellers, Ríos charms his readers, making us care deeply—even love—these people we read. From “The Chair She Sits In”: I’ve heard this thing where, when someone dies, People close up all the holes around the house- The keyholes, the chimney, the windows, Even the mouths of the animals, the dogs and the pigs. It’s so the soul won’t be confused, or tempted . . . Alberto Ríos , the poet laureate of Arizona, teaches at Arizona State University. He is the author of eight books of poetry, three collections of short stories, and a memoir.

Saving Daylight - Jim Harrison - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Saving Daylight - Jim Harrison - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Named to the Notable Books of the Year lists from The Kansas City Star and the Michigan Library Association. “Jim Harrison is a writer with immortality in him.”— The Times (London) “This is [Harrison’s] most robust, sure-footed, and blood-raising poetry collection to date.”— Booklist Jim Harrison—one of America’s most beloved writers—calls his poetry “the true bones of my life.” Although he is best known as a fiction writer, it is as a poet that Publishers Weekly famously called him an “untrammeled renegade genius.” Saving Daylight , Harrison’s tenth collection of poetry, is his first book of new poems in a decade. All of Harrison’s abundant passions for life are poured into suites, prose poems, letter-poems, and even lyrics for a mariachi band. The subjects and concerns are wide-ranging—from the heart-rending “Livingston Suite,” where a boy drowns in the local river and the body is discovered by the poet’s wife—to some of the most harrowing political poems of Harrison’s career. There is also a cast of creature characters—bears, dogs, birds, fish—as well as the woodlands, thickets, and occasional cities of Arizona, Montana, Michigan, France, and Mexico. “Imagination is my only possession,” Harrison once said. And Saving Daylight is an imagination in full, exuberant bloom. Jim Harrison is the author of over thirty books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. His work has been translated into dozens of languages. Born and raised in Michigan, he now lives in Montana and Arizona.

Flood Song - Sherwin Bitsui - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Flood Song - Sherwin Bitsui - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

"Sherwin Bitsui''s new poetry collection, Flood Song— a sprawling, panoramic journey through landscape, time, and cultures—is well worth the ride."— Poets & Writers “Bitsui’s poetry is elegant, probative, and original. His vision connects worlds.”— New Mexico Magazine “His images can tilt on the side of surrealism, yet his work can be compellingly accessible.”— Arizona Daily Star “ Sherwin Bitsui sees violent beauty in the American landscape. There are junipers, black ants, axes, and cities dragging their bridges. I can hear Whitman''s drums in these poems and I can see Ginsberg''s supermarkets. But above all else, there is an indigenous eccentricity, ‘a cornfield at the bottom of a sandstone canyon,’ that you will not find anywhere else.”— Sherman Alexie Native traditions scrape against contemporary urban life in Flood Song , an interweaving painterly sequence populated with wrens and reeds, bricks and gasoline. Poet Sherwin Bitsui is at the forefront of a new generation of Native writers who resist being identified solely by race. At the same time, he comes from a traditional indigenous family and Flood Song is filled with allusions to Dine (Navajo) myths, customs, and traditions. Highly imagistic and constantly in motion, his poems draw variously upon medicine song and contemporary language and poetics. “I map a shrinking map,” he writes, and “bite my eyes shut between these songs.” An astonishing, elemental volume. I retrace and trace over my fingerprints Here: magma, there: shore, and on the peninsula of his finger pointing west— a bell rope woven from optic nerves is tethered to mustangs galloping from a nation lifting its first page through the man hole—burn marks in the saddle horn, static in the ear that cannot sever cries from wailing. Sherwin Bitsui ’s acclaimed first book of poems, Shapeshift , appeared in 2003. He has earned many honors for his work, including fellowships from the Witter Bynner Foundation and Lannan Foundation, and he is frequently invited to poetry festivals throughout the world. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

Waltzing Through the Endtime - David Bottoms - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Waltzing Through the Endtime - David Bottoms - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

In these 14 poems, David Bottoms waltzes through the “Christ-haunted South” and highlights how and where the afterlife intersects our daily lives. In a strong and musical voice, Bottoms, the poet laureate of Georgia, modernizes the narrative traditions of the American South. He encounters the ghosts of musicians and recounts strange instances of religious visitation: From “Vigilance”: Like my neighbor again who grew a yellow rosewilted with the sign of the cross, or his sister in Biloxiwho once saw the virgin swimmingin a bowl of vegetable soup.Accolades, yes, to Ramona Barrerasof Phoenix, Arizona, who pulled from her ovenin 1977a tortilla scorched with the face of Christ,which may or may nothave been the face that appearedsome ten years later in Bras D’Oron an outside wall of a Tim Horton’s Restaurant,though both made the papersand drew their share of pilgrims . “What does it mean,” Bottoms asks, “that God keeps stamping his image on pastry and French toast, on biscuits lightly burned around the edges?” At the core of this book is a seeker, a person trying to make sense out of an unintelligible world, confronting the darkest dimensions of human nature, and writing a gorgeous, meta-physically charged poetry. David Bottoms , the Poet Laureate of Georgia, teaches at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He is the author of four books of poems and founding editor of Five Points magazine. His work has been featured on National Public Radio and on The Southern Voice , a television series profiling Southern writers.

Insomniac Liar of Topo - Norman Dubie - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Insomniac Liar of Topo - Norman Dubie - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

“Dubie has already been recognized as one of the most powerful and influential American poets . . . his poems have always been generous and inclusive, capable of containing multiple and conflicting worlds—of memory and the present, of the artistic and the daily.”— The Washington Post Book World “Dubie has a singular talent for inhabiting a persona and making convincing representations of another person’s life, taking on a different view and experience of the world… It is the tenderness of his identifications that make Dubie’s work so extraordinary.” — Boston Review "Dubie continues to build poems on the unstable terrain of dreams and contemporized Blakean visions, stacking sharp images and impenetrable questions into tottering, sometimes ominous funhouse meditations." — Library Journal The poems in Norman Dubie’s Insomniac Liar of Topo behave much like that of a linear accelerator: exploding worlds into each other, from opposite poles, with tremendous speed, to discover the worlds within. Populated by an eccentric menagerie of mystics, holy men, and brilliant artists, Dubie brings together the astonishingly grotesque and sardonically beautiful, to call forth the sincere within the context of war and human dissonance. Dubie, a master purveyor of trickster protest and psychological release, uses an array of voices to highlight the splinter and shatter of wartime, of destroyed art and sacred texts, and the specific and various destructions that have made humans themselves aliens of their own planet. So, the sun’s down, the ship’s lights are like obvious fat jewels. And if we want to have commerce with the lizard men in their blue suits, then we must eat more of these slouching animals and fasted too. Norman Dubie is the author of nineteen books of poetry and served as poetry editor for The Iowa Review and director of the graduate poetry workshop at the University of Iowa. He helped found the MFA program at Arizona State University in Tempe, where he teaches as a regents professor for creative writing.

The Shape of the Journey - Jim Harrison - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

The Shape of the Journey - Jim Harrison - Bog - Copper Canyon Press,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

"This is poetry worth loving, hating, and fighting over."— The New York Times Book Review Here is the definitive collection of poetry from one of America’s best-loved writers—now available in paperback. With the publication of this book, eight volumes of poetry were brought back into print, including the early nature-based lyrics of Plain Song , the explosive Outlyer & Ghazals , and the startling "correspondence" with a dead Russian poet in Letters to Yesenin . Also included is an introduction by Harrison, several previously uncollected poems, and "Geo-Bestiary," a 34-part paean to earthly passions. The Shape of the Journey confirms Jim Harrison’s place among the most brilliant and essential poets writing today. "Behind the words one always feels the presence of a passionate, exuberant man who is at the same time possessed of a quick, subtle intelligence and a deeply questioning attitude toward life. Harrison writes so winningly that one is simply content to be in the presence of a writer this vital, this large-spirited."— The New York Times Book Review "(An) untrammelled renegade genius… here’s a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language."— Publishers Weekly "Readers can wander the woods of this collection for a lifetime and still be amazed at what they find."— Booklist (starred review.) When the cloth edition of this book was first published, it immediately became one of Copper Canyon Press’s all-time bestsellers. It was featured on Garrison Keillor’s Writer’s Almanac , became a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize , and was selected as one of the "Top-Ten Books of 1998" by Booklist . Jim Harrison is the author of dozens of books, including Legends of the Fall and In Search of Small Gods . He has also written numerous screenplays and served as the food columnist for Esquire magazine. He lives in Montana and Arizona.
