Book Description

A complete mish-mash of 130 mostly rhyming poems on subjects from dancing kangaroos to angels, remembrance, joy, weather, sorrow, love, moles, dragons in various sizes, fairy blacksmiths, war, ecology, and many less easily defined subjects. About thirty have been published previously here and there, usually singly in themed publications. From four lines to sixty verses, there's probably one you'll love and one you'll hate. There are also four short stories which are about gun running, fantasy aliens, a faithful hound, and a young wolf asking a rabbit to help him find fast food.

Book Description

From Sarajevo, with Sorrow restores all that is offensive, despairing and necessary to our understanding of war by capturing the poems’ original power and humanity. This collection contains both previously unpublished poems, written “under the candlelight” of the siege, and new poems returning to the sniper’s alleys and bunkers of Sarajevo. This is a disturbingly resonant, timely and important collection.

Book Description

Frugal Poets' Guide to Life is part personal journey, part life-coaching for poets (or those who'd like to live like one), part creativity guide, and part reference, with a special section on the modern history of the Chicago poetry scene, including the birth of the poetry slam. In many ways, this book is an anti-MFA guide to being a poet - or any other type of creative person. As poet Robert Frost said, " To be a poet is a condition, not a profession." Some of Gallaher's more personal sections of the book trace dating a well-known underground comics artist - dinner at a Denny's restaurant with an Academy Award Best Actor -- seeing a UFO in central Wisconsin - a night when poet and men's movement icon Robert Bly was "tarred & feathered" at a poetry reading -- play rehearsals at David Mamet's Chicago theater featuring then-unknown actor William H. Macy - how she met her poet husband, Carlos -- reflections on Gallaher's family relative, artist and member of the Algonquin Round Table, Neysa McMein -- visits and stays at a variety of writers' colonies around the country -- and celebrating how friend Sandra Cisneros launched an international literary career starting with a little eight-poem chapbook at a humble bookstore in a Chicago Puerto Rican neighborhood.

Book Description

This book offers a new reading of the Caribbean Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, by not only focusing on his totally neglected essays, but also introducing him as a postcolonial theoretician. Probing into Walcott’s writings, the study singles out a set of concepts that parallel, support and sometimes precedes most of the seminal views in postcolonial theory. Wedding theory to practice, the book takes the reader on a scholarly trip whereby Walcott’s theoretical views are applied on his poems.
