Postcolonial Love Poem - Natalie Diaz

WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYSHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZEPOETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONPostcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book, an anthem of desire against erasure. It demands that every body carried in its pages â “ bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers â “ be touched and held. Here, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic, and portrayed with a glowing intimacy: the alphabet of a hand in the dark, the hipsâ ™ silvered percussion, a thighâ ™s red-gold geometry, the emerald tigers that leap in a throat. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dune fields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality.Natalie Diaz defies the conditions from which she writes, a nation whose creation predicated the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like hers and the people she loves. Her poetry questions what kind of future we might create, built from the choices we make now â “ how we might learn our own cures and â ˜go where there is loveâ ™.

When My Brother Was an Aztec - Natalie Diaz

FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYWhen My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention â “ one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history. Natalie Diazâ ™s arresting debut explores a brotherâ ™s addiction and its devastating effects on a household, while offering a political critique of our nations and their pasts. It acknowledges absences and uncomfortable silences, as well as conjuring vivid voices and presences, from Antigone and Houdini to Huitzilopochtli and Jesus.Stolen cowboy boots, violins on fire; a mariachi band playing in the bathroom, a black bayonet carried between the shoulder blades; the beauty of busted fruit, the sight of hellish visions - Diaz both revels and reveals through her distinctive use of language and imagery, bringing to life every intimate and communal encounter, blooming abundance from scarcity. The result is a wrenching portrayal of sacrifice, want, despair and fortitude that feels truly transformative.

Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death - Pierre Wat, Patricia Gray Berman, Oystein Ustvedt, Claire Bernardi, Trine Otte Bak Nielsen, Ingrid Juni

An authoritative new publication that revisits Munch⠙s work in its entirety. Edvard Munch occupies a pivotal place in artistic modernity. His work is permeated by a singular vision of the world, with a powerful symbolist dimension that goes beyond the masterpieces he created in the 1890s, and which gives his art a great coherence.For Munch, humanity and nature were united in the cycle of life, death and rebirth, which is reflected in the unending recurrence of certain motifs and colour combinations in his work. He wrote: ⠘These paintings, which are, admittedly, relatively difficult to understand, will be [⠦] easier to grasp if they are integrated into a whole.⠙ Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Musée d⠙Orsay, Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death presents about a hundred works ⠓ paintings, drawings, prints and engraved blocks ⠓ reflecting the diversity of Munch⠙s practice. Seven essays explore the artist in his philosophical and scientific milieu and the places that shaped the man and his art, as well as offering a rare glimpse of Munch⠙s attempts at creative writing.They also examine the historical evolution of his monumental Frieze of Life series and the world-famous Scream. This publication invites readers to revisit the painter⠙s work in its entirety by following the thread of an ever-inventive pictorial thinking: a vision that is both fundamentally coherent, even obsessive, and at the same time constantly renewed.

Ordinary Girls \ Muchachas ordinarias - Jaquira Diaz

Para las muchachas que fuimos, para la muchacha que fui, para las muchachas de todo el mundo que son como nosotras solíamos ser. Para las muchachas que nunca se vieron reflejadas en los libros. Para las muchachas ordinarias.Jaquira Díaz siempre se encontró entre extremos en lugares permeados por la violencia. A pesar de añorar tener una familia unida y un hogar seguro, éstos eran difíciles de conseguir viviendo bajo los niveles de pobreza en el caserío Padre Rivera en Puerto Rico y en Miami Beach, sobre todo tras el diagnóstico de esquizofrenia de su madre y la subsiguiente ruptura familiar. El amor y apoyo de sus panas la mantuvieron a flote al encontrarse ante otra disyuntiva: su identidad y orgullo como puertorriqueña no dejaba cabida para su nueva identidad sexual.Cada página de Muchachas ordinarias brilla por su lirismo, crudeza y sensibilidad. Desde su lucha contra la depresión y el tortuoso camino que debió recorrer como sobreviviente de agresión sexual, pasando por el estado colonial actual de Puerto Rico, Díaz narra sus vivencias con increíble lucidez y brutal honestidad, trazando la ruta que la alejó de la desesperanza y la llevó hacia el amor y el deseo de convertirse en la muchacha que siempre quiso ser.Jaquira Díaz nació en Puerto Rico y se crió en Miami Beach. Su obra ha sido publicada en Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The New York Times Style Magazine e incluida en la antología The Best American Essays 2016, entre otros.

The Dark Side of Prague - Natálie Kocábová

Mladí bývají neklidní. S Natálií Kocábovou (1984) tomu nebylo jinak: prvotina v osmnácti, ve třiadvaceti pět knížek. K tomu sex, drogy a rock n roll. Kdysi jsem o ní napsal do Respektu: Rychle napsat, rychle vydat - a další. Natálie rychle psala, rychle vydávala, ale pak se začala propisovat : s druhou knihou poezie (Někdo je v domě) a třetí prózou (Růže) došla sobě nadosah. Tempo zvolnilo, ohlasy a stylizace zčásti opadaly, křeč vzpoury proti všemu metamorfovala v jedinečné chvíle údivu a pokory. Změnily se stravovací návyky : lehké maso postmoderny, kterým Natálie krmila agresivní vnějškovost svého psaní, vystřídal krvavý biftek vlastního života. Snění a fantazie vypověděly službu krátkodechým účelům a sblížily se s realitou. Iracionální se umazalo o konkrétní. Šestá kniha, The Dark Side of Prague, je toho očitým svědkem: pod vrstvou křiku citlivost, za vztekem milostnost, za nenávistí láska. Kulisy globální, aktéři v pohybu za svým stínem. Hledají tajemství světa a nastavují přitom obě tváře. A kdo hledá, najde: ostrovy harmonie vyplavené na hladinu chaosu. Radim Kopáč

Postcolonial Banter - Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan

Postcolonial Banteris Suhaiymah Manzoo-Khanâ ™s debut collection. It features some of her most well-known and widely performed poems as well as some never-seen-before material. Her words are a disruption of comfort, a call to action, a redistribution of knowledge and an outpouring of dissent. Whilst enraged and devastated by the world she finds herself in, in many ways it is also the mundane; hence, whilst political and complex in nature, her poetry is just the â ˜banterâ ™ of everyday life for her and others like her. Ranging from critiquing the function of the nation-state and rejecting secularist visions of identity, to reflecting on the difficulty of writing and penning responses to conversations she wishes sheâ ™d had; Suhaiymahâ ™s debut collection is ready and raring to enter the world.

Mixed/Other - Natalie Morris

How does it feel when your heritage isn t listed as an option on an identification form?What is it like to grow up as the only person in your family who looks like you?Where do you belong if you are simultaneously seen as being too much of one race and not enough of another to fit neatly into society s expectations?The mixed population is the fastest-growing group in the U.K. today, but the mainstream conversation around mixedness is stilted, repetitive and often problematic. At a time when ethnically ambiguous models fill our Instagram feeds and our high street shop windows, and when children of interracial relationships are lauded as heralding in the dawn of a post-racial utopia, journalist Natalie Morris takes a deep dive into what it really means to be mixed in Britain today. From blackfishing to the fetishisation of mixed babies; from the complexities of passing and code-switching to navigating the world of work and dating, Natalie explores the ways in which all of these issues uniquely impact those of mixed heritage. Drawing from a wealth of research, interviews and her own personal experiences, in Mixed/Other, Natalie s aims to dismantle the stereotypes that have plagued mixed people for generations and to amplify the voices of mixed Britons today, shining a light on the struggles and the joys that come with being mixed.

The bestselling co-author of the legendary The One Minute Manager® and a former Twitter executive join forces to create the ultimate guide to creating powerful mentoring relationships.The past decade has seen the dramatic rise of a word now well known in corporate hallways: mentoring. But a new awareness about mentoring hasn⠙t necessarily meant an increased understanding of how to implement the practice.While most people agree that having a mentor is a good thing, they don⠙t know how to find one or use one. And despite widespread approval for the idea of being a mentor, most people don⠙t think they have the time or skills to do so.Positive mentoring relationships can change the way we lead and help us succeed. In One Minute Mentoring, legendary management guru Ken Blanchard and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, a former Twitter executive and early employee, combine their knowledge to provide a systematic approach to intergenerational mentoring, giving readers great insight into the power and influence of mentoring and encouraging them to pursue their own mentoring relationships.Using his classic parable format, Blanchard explains why developing effective communication and relationships across generations can be a tremendous opportunity for companies and individuals alike. One Minute Mentoring is the go-to source for learning why mentoring is the secret ingredient to professional and personal success.

Růst - Hernan Diaz

Magnát z Wall Street a jeho inteligentní, ale křehká manželka v časech nadbytku a spekulací stoupají na vrchol newyorské společnosti. Nyní však hrozí, že právě vydaný román odhalí nepěkné tajemství jejich manželského svazku, a onen bohatý muž se ocitá jen krůček od ztráty kontroly nad svým vlastním příběhem – příběhem nenasytnosti, lásky a zrady.Růst, román složený ze čtyř konkurenčních verzí jednoho nepolapitelného příběhu, nás přivádí na pouť za pravdou, která se neustále větví a komplikuje, až nakonec nezbývá zdánlivě nic, čeho by se dalo chytit.Diaz dokazuje, že je opravdu výjimečně nadaný spisovatel. Tato kniha je zářivý kaleidoskop, který funguje zároveň jako strhující literární záhada a zpochybnění výdobytků kapitalismu. Přečtete ji jedním dechem a nebudete ji chtít odložit!

Monina tlupa 1 - Tanec přátelství - Raquel Díaz Reguerová

Koho by nefascinoval pravěk! Dinosauři, mamuti, obří přesličky!Někde tam, milion let sem, milion let tam, žili i první lidé. A než vyrostli, tak byli samozřejmě dětmi. Jak si asi takové pravěké děti hrály? Čeho se bály a měly vůbec kamarády? Tolik otázek! Proč se o tom píše tak málo knížek? ptaly se spisovatelka Raquel Díaz Reguerová a ilustrátorka Lucía Serranová. Toužily po knížce o pravěkých dětech, a tak si ji vymyslely. A když říkáme —vymyslely“, tak myslíme se vším všudy. Těšte se na dravé příšery, jaké svět ještě neviděl: tuleňoraptor je z nich ještě ten mírumilovnější.Život v pravěku rozhodně nebyl procházka růžovou zahradou, ovšem když jste v tom uměli chodit, mohla to být i docela psina. Jenže si představte, že se svět najednou zblázní. Hora začne řvát, země se hýbe a z nebe padají hvězdy. Uprostřed všeho toho zmatku se jeskynní holčička Lami ocitne úplně sama, bez svého kmene. A to je průšvih i dnes, natož v pravěku. Jak se popere s drsnými pravěkými nástrahami?

Možná se mu to ale nikdy nemá splnit, protože jeho rodinu už po několik generací pronásleduje prastará kletba zvaná fukú, jež je sužuje různými pohromami, smůlou a hlavně nešťastnými láskami. Oskar stále jen teprve sní o svém prvním polibku a zdá se být zatím poslední obětí rodinné kletby, když se jednoho osudového léta rozhodne, že to s fukú skoncuje. Ve jménu lásky je třeba riskovat všechno.

Divine Might - Natalie Haynesová

New York Times bestselling author Natalie Haynes returns to the world of ancient Greek myth in this scintillating follow-up to Pandora’s Jar.Few writers today have reshaped our view of the ancient Greek myths more than revered bestselling author Natalie Haynes. Divine Might is a female-centered look at Olympus and the Furies, focusing on the goddesses whose prowess, passions, jealousies, and desires rival those of their male kin, including:Athene, who sprang fully formed from her father’s brow (giving Zeus a killer headache in the process), the goddess of war and provider of wise counsel.Aphrodite, born of the foam (and sperm released from a Titan’s castrated testicles), the most beautiful of all the Olympian goddesses, the epitome of love who dispenses desire and inspires longing—yet harbors a fearsome vengeful side, doling out brutal punishments to those who displease her.Hera, Zeus’s long-suffering wife, whose jealousy born of his repeated dalliances with mortals, nymphs, and other goddesses, leads her to wreak elaborate and often painful revenge on those she believes have wronged her. (Well, wouldn’t you?)Demeter, goddess of the harvest and mother of Persephone; Artemis, the hunter and goddess of wild spaces; the Muses, the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory; and Hestia, goddess of domesticity and sacrificial fire.Infused with Haynes’s engaging charm and irrepressible wit, Divine Might is a refreshing take on the legends and stories we thought we knew.
