Collected Poems - Ernest Sandeen - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Collected Poems - Ernest Sandeen - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

During his long tenure in the English department of the University of Notre Dame, Ernest Sandeen published widely. His first published poem, "Parked Car," appeared in the New Yorker in 1938. After that, his poems appeared in major reviews, journals, and magazines. They were also collected in six volumes: Antennas of Silence (1953), Children and Older Strangers (1962), Like Any Road Anywhere (1976), Collected Poems: 1953-1977 (1977), A Later Day, Another Year (1989), and Can These Bones Live? (1994). Collected Poems 1953-1994 is a comprehensive collection, representing the best of Sandeen''s previous six volumes—the poems he wished to preserve. A contemporary of well-known poets such as W. H. Auden, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Robert Bly, Sandeen’s first literary influence was Carl Sandburg, with whom he shared the hometown of Galesburg, Illinois. Taken together, the poems in this new and augmented volume demonstrate what many discerning readers have always known—that Ernest Sandeen was one of the best poets of his generation, who also deeply influenced many contemporary poets. On the occasion of Sandeen’s death in 1997, former Poet Laureate Robert Hass said in an interview, “what I love about [Sandeen’s] poetry is the way it has a sort of sweet gravity to it that makes you feel that the poet was a genuinely wise man. You feel that in his craft as much as in anything else, that the poem says what it needs to say, so that not needing to show off is a form of beauty. There is a kind of seriousness and grace.” Collected Poems 1953 – 1994 offers personal and powerful insight into life’s greatest triumphs and tragedies. Meditating on topics such as old age, love and eros, mortality, politics, society, religious faith, and birth, Sandeen delves into the ordinary, inevitable, incomprehensible facts of life. Readers who have followed Sandeen’s work over the decades will be pleased to find his poems once again in print. New readers will discover a poet who cannot fail to delight them.

Collected Poems - Bog af Ernest Sandeen - Paperback

Collected Poems - Bog af Ernest Sandeen - Paperback

\The poems of Ernest Sandeen among other things record not only a writing life but a life in writing: a history of the hours when reflection turns to discovery, and observation finds its fulfillment in the rhythms of a sentence, the weaving of consonants through a line, in pursuit of a mystery. Few poets have been blessed with the gift to sustain that process of meditation, composing, and questioning so consistently, and for so long, in works that are clear-eyed, passionate, and precise.\ -Robert..

Splinters Are Children of Wood - Leia Penina Wilson - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Splinters Are Children of Wood - Leia Penina Wilson - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

The wildly unrestrained poems in Splinters Are Children of Wood , Leia Penina Wilson''s second collection and winner of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, pose an increasingly desperate question about what it means to be a girl, the ways girls are shaped by the world, as well as the role myth plays in this coming of age quest. Wilson, an afakasi Samoan poet, divides the book into three sections, linking the poems in each section by titles. In this way the poems act as a continuous song, an ode, or a lament revivifying a narrative that refuses to adopt a storyline. Samoan myths and Western stories punctuate this volume in a search to reconcile identity and education. The lyrical declaration is at once an admiration of love and self-loathing. She kills herself. Resurrects herself. Kills herself again. She is also killed by the world. Resurrected. Killed again. These poems map displacement, discontent, and an increasing suspicion of the world itself, or the ways people learn the world. Drawing on the work of Bhanu Kapil, Anne Waldman, Alice Notley, and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Wilson''s poems reveal familiarity and strangeness, invocation and accusation. Both ritual and ruination, the poems return again and again to desire, myth, the sacred, and body

The Yearning Feed - Manuel Paul Lopez - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

The Yearning Feed - Manuel Paul Lopez - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

The poems in Manuel Paul López''s The Yearning Feed , winner of the 2013 Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, are embedded in the San Diego/Imperial Valley regions, communities located along the U.S.-Mexico border. López, an Imperial Valley native, considers La Frontera , or the border, as magical, worthy of Macondo-like comparisons, where contradictions are firmly rooted and ironies play out on a daily basis. These poems synthesize López’s knowledge of modern and contemporary literature with a border-child vernacular sensibility to produce a work that illustrates the ongoing geographical and literary historical clash of cultures. With humor and lyrical intensity, López addresses familial relationships, immigration, substance abuse, violence, and, most importantly, the affirmation of life. In the poem titled "Psalm," the speaker experiences a deep yearning to relearn his family''s Spanish tongue, a language lost somewhere in the twelve-mile stretch between his family''s home, his school, and the border. The poem “1984” borrows the prose-poetics of Joe Brainard, who was known for his collage and assemblage work of the 1960s and 1970s, to describe the poet’s bicultural upbringing in the mid-1980s. Many of the poems in The Yearning Feed use a variety of media, techniques, and cultural signifiers to create a hybrid visual language that melds “high” art with "low." The poems in The Yearning Feed establish López as a singular and revelatory voice in American poetry, one who challenges popular perceptions of the border region and uses the unique elements of the rich border experience to inform and guide his aesthetics.

Magnificent Errors - Sheryl Luna - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Magnificent Errors - Sheryl Luna - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Magnificent Errors is a collection of poems that shows how mental health challenges can elicit beauty, resiliency, and hope. In 2005, Sheryl Luna burst onto the poetry scene with Pity the Drowned Horses , which quickly became a classic of border and Southwest literature with its major point of reference in and around El Paso, Texas. Now with the poems in Magnificent Errors , Luna’s third collection and winner of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, Luna turns her gaze toward people living on the margins—whether it be cultural, socioeconomic, psychological, or personal—and celebrates their ability to recover and thrive. Luna reveals that individuals who suffer and experience injustice are often lovely and awe inspiring. Her poems reflect on immigrants in a detention camp, a meth addict, a homeless individual, and someone on food stamps. She explores the voices of people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, poets, visual artists, and people living in a mental health community setting. The author’s own journey to recovery from childhood abuse and mental illness also illuminates how healing is possible. The poems in Magnificent Errors are lyrical, narrative, and often highly personal, exploring what it means to be the “other” and how to cope with difference and illness. They venerate characters who overcome difficulties including ostracism and degradation. People who live outside of the mainstream in poverty are survivors, and showing their experience teaches us compassion and kindness. Ideas of art, culture, and recovery flow throughout the poems, exploring artistic creativity as a means of redemption. With language that is fresh and surprising, Sheryl Luna shares these remarkable poems that bring a reader into the experiences of marginalization and offer hope that grace and restoration do indeed follow.

Auto/Body - Vickie Vertiz - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Auto/Body - Vickie Vertiz - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

The poems in Auto/Body are an inexhaustible engine—sometimes a body, sometimes flesh—a sensual exploration of what it means to repair, to remake, to keep going even when rebuilding feels impossible. From the greased-up engines of auto body shops to the innumerable points of light striking the dance floor of a queer nightclub, Auto/Body , winner of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, connects the vulnerability of the narrating queer body to the language of auto mechanics to reveal their shared decadence. Behind the wheel of this book is an insistent, humorous voice whose experiences have lent themselves to a deep, intimate knowledge of survival, driven by the pursuit of joy and exalted pleasure. Raised in and near auto body shops, Vickie Vértiz remembers visiting them to elevate the family car to examine what’s underneath, to see what’s working and what’s not. The poetry in this book is also a body shop, but instead we take our bodies, identities, desires, and see what’s firing. In this shop we ask: What needs changing? How do our bodies transcend ways of being we have received so that we may become more ourselves? From odes to drag, to pushing back on the tyranny of patriarchy, to loving too hard and too queer, to growing up working-class in a time of incessant border violence and incarceration, this collection combusts with blood and fuel. In other words, Vértiz writes to dissolve a colonial engine and reconstruct a new vessel with its remains.

Breeze - John Latta - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Breeze , winner of the 2003 Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, exudes a material and musical sensibility, informed as much by the sound of a word as it rolls off the tongue as by the ideas it may trigger. In these carefully crafted poems, John Latta traces the process of language attempting to align its measure against the amplitude of the world. His writing recognizes the futility of representing the world while braving the caprice of trying to do so. Made of image, invention, and music, the poetry of Breeze challenges and inspires.

Modernity And Religion - Ralph Mcinerny - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Modernity And Religion - Ralph Mcinerny - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

The essays in Modernity and Religion comprise the reflections of eight seminal thinkers on various aspects of the problems of modern thought and its attitude toward religion. By concentrating on the supposed chasms between modern thought and the assumptions of Christianity, the contributors do much more than show that modernity has failed by its own standards; they also demonstrate that there are truths about humans and their relations to others and to God that are necessary components of any epoch, past or present. Contributors include Louis Dupre, Francois-Xavier Guerra, Peter Koslowski, R. Emmet Kennedy, Jr.,Simon Green, James Hitchcock, Jude Dougherty, and Ernest Fortin.

Dreamlife of a Philanthropist - Janet Kaplan - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

Dreamlife of a Philanthropist - Janet Kaplan - Bog - University of Notre Dame Press - Plusbog.dk

With a salve in one hand and a burcher''s knife in the other, Janet Kaplan offers her masterful third collection, Dreamlife of a Philanthropist , winner of the 2011 Ernest Sandeen prize in Poetry. The prose poems and sonnets in Dreamlife are packed with postmodern language-leaping, modern irony and absurdity, and a poet''s ageless ear for the pleasures of the lyric and formal experimentation. These are poems that can never quite abandon the hope that life--and language—are worthy pursuits; but they never offer up easy assurances about the benefits of humanity to anyone or anything. Get ready for dogs that wail and overtake the scene; an invitation to make love on a mattress of ants; and the philanthropist of the title, who dreams that people are tuned into fish. It''s "good luck and bad in random but equal measure," Kaplan writes in "Life and Times."
