“[Beasley’s] lightness works best when it dapples her darkness—and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep.”—Abigail Deutsch, Poetry The winner of the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prize—“These poems are fresh, crisp, and muscular. They are decisive and fearless. Every object, icon, or historical moment has a soul with a voice. In these poems these soulful ones elbow their way to the surface of the page, smartly into the contemporary now.”—Joy Harjo, prize citation from “The Piano Speaks” For an hour I forgot my fat self, my neurotic innards, my addiction to alignment. For an hour I forgot my fear of rain. For an hour I was a salamander shimmying through the kelp in search of shore, and under his fingers the notes slid loose from my belly in a long jellyrope of eggs that took root in the mud.

"In I was the Jukebox, Sandra Beasley eschews the speaker-as-poet convention and unleashes a collection teeming with the inanimate, the anachronistic, and the animal kingdom. She boldly channels figures from wartime and mythological culture [...] In these poems Beasley continues to approach the world--with all its wiled musing, Wednesday compromises, migrating battlefields, and oversexed orchids--with clarity, humor, and compassion." --From dust jacket.

Download Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
From the mid-1930s to 1978 Elizabeth Bishop published some ninety poems and thirty translations. Yet her notebooks reveal that she embarked upon many more compositions, some existing in only fragmentary form and some embodied in extensive drafts. Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box presents, alongside facsimiles of many notebook pages from which they are drawn, poems Bishop began soon after college, reflecting her passion for Elizabethan verse and surrealist technique; love poems and dream fragments from the 1940s; poems about her Canadian childhood; and many other works that heretofore have been quoted almost exclusively in biographical and critical studies. This revelatory and moving selection brings us into the poet's laboratory, showing us the initial provocative images that moved Bishop to begin a poem, illustrating terrain unexplored in the work published during her lifetime. Editor Alice Quinn has also mined the Bishop archives for rich tangential material that illuminates the poet's sources and intentions.

"She could see to the horizon to where the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges formed necklaces. So writes Susan Margulies Kalish in The Cerebral Jukebox, her first collection of poetry. With an astute eye for the telling detail, she evokes her childhood in Manhattan s Lower East Side. Stuyvesant Town, a middle-class housing development of a hundred look-alike buildings, became her mid-city haven during the baby boom that followed World War II. Her favorite jukebox hits of the Fifties filter through free verse vignettes, recalling a time of innocence, while the songs of the Sixties echo the turbulence of her coming of age in a time of great change. In succeeding sections she celebrates family, travel, and historical connection, bringing the book s jukebox journey full circle. Complete with the author s illustrations that eloquently weave together family and neighborhood photographs throughout, The Cerebral Jukebox shares unforgettable recollections from one woman s life as she matures from childhood to adulthood in the greatest city in the world.""
