WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR POETRY WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY In this moving, critical and fiercely intelligent collection of prose poems, Claudia Rankine examines the experience of race and racism in Western society through sharp vignettes of everyday discrimination and prejudice, and longer meditations on the violence - whether linguistic or physical - which has impacted the lives of Serena Williams, Zinedine Zidane, Mark Duggan and others. Awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry in America after becoming the first book in the prize's history to be a finalist in both the poetry and criticism categories, Citizen weaves essays, images and poetry together to form a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in an ostensibly "post-race" society.

This volume finishes out a year of poetry writing that began as an attempt to deal with serious illness and recovery. Like the three earlier books in what has become a series, "Autumn Opens a Door" is the result of an intensive set of sessions in which Claudia McGill wrote quickly and intuitively, not stopping to edit, just letting the thoughts flow. Over the following weeks, she then took time to revise and review the poems that emerged, but not too much time, wanting to hold on to the freshness they had when first written. She used the writing experience to make sense of the everyday world around her as well as her interior world. All of these poems were written in mid-autumn, a time traditionally thought of as one of loss and endings. In this book, it becomes both: autumn marks a beginning, a step into the future away from the illness and despair of the past several years, as well as being a time of reflection, a time to examine and to let go of these troubles.

A “harrowing and hallucinogenic” collection of poems from author of the New York Times–bestselling National Book Award-finalist Citizen: An American Lyric (Library Journal). Claudia Rankine’s book-length poem about rising racial tensions in America, Citizen: An American Lyric, won numerous prizes, including the The National Book Critic’s Circle Award. Her new collection of poems—intrepid, obsessive, and erotic—tell the story of a woman’s attempt to reconcile herself to her own despair. Drawing on voices from Jane Eyre to Lady MacBeth, Rankine welds the cerebral and the spiritual, the sensual and the grotesque. Whether writing about intimacy or alienation, what remains long after is her singular voice—its beguiling cadence and vivid physicality. There is an unprotected quality to this writing, as if each word has been pushed out along the precipice, daring us to go with it. Rankine’s power lies in the intoxicating pull of that dare. From one of contemporary poetry’s most powerful and provocative authors, The End of the Alphabet is a work where “wits at once keen and tenacious match themselves against grief’s genius” (Boston Review).

Carol Gilligan, whose classic In a Different Voice revolutionized the study of human psychology, now offers a brilliant, provocative book about love. Why is love so often associated with tragedy, she asks. Why are our experiences of pleasure so often shadowed by loss? And can we change these patterns? Gilligan observes children at play and adult couples in therapy and discovers that the roots of a more hopeful view of love are all around us. She finds evidence in new psychological research and traces a path leading from the myth of Psyche and Cupid through Shakespeare’s plays and Freud’s case histories, to Anne Frank’s diaries and contemporary novels. Groundbreaking and immensely readable, The Birth of Pleasure has powerful implications for the way we live and love.

A brilliant and unsparing examination of America in the early twenty-first century, Claudia Rankine’s Don’t Let Me Be Lonely invents a new genre to confront the particular loneliness and rapacious assault on selfhood that our media have inflicted upon our lives. Fusing the lyric, the essay, and the visual, Rankine negotiates the enduring anxieties of medicated depression, race riots, divisive elections, terrorist attacks, and ongoing wars—doom scrolling through the daily news feeds that keep us glued to our screens and that have come to define our age. First published in 2004, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely is a hauntingly prescient work, one that has secured a permanent place in American literature. This new edition is presented in full color with updated visuals and text, including a new preface by the author, and matches the composition of Rankine’s best-selling and award-winning Citizen and Just Us as the first book in her acclaimed American trilogy. Don’t Let Me Be Lonely is a crucial guide to surviving a fractured and fracturing American consciousness—a book of rare and vital honesty, complexity, and presence.

Is it possible to capture something as ephemeral as love with mere words? Méira Cook draws on Lacan, Derrida, Barthes, and Kristeva to wrestle with the theoretical problems of representing the unrepresentable. In Writing Lovers she searches for a language adequate to articulating the discourse of passion, desire, and longing in the love poetry of Dionne Brand, Elizabeth Smart, Daphne Marlatt, Dorothy Livesay, Kristjana Gunnars, and Nicole Markotic.In writings by the French post-structuralists, rhetorical tropes such as speechlessness, fragmentation, and deflection testify to the writer's difficulty in broaching the subject of love. Similarly, Cook shows that love poetry proceeds out of a profound failure of language resulting from the opacity of discourse, its lack of neutrality, or the fugitive transparency of reference. Writing Lovers also explores race, ethnicity, age, and sexual identity within the context of the passionate excesses of amatory discourse.

In this epic poetry collection Killing Marías, Claudia Castro Luna, both poetically and physically, settles spaces that were unclaimed by Latinas. Her inscription of the disappeared women of Juárez is a live cartographic image of struggle and spiritual survival. Castro Luna does not allow for these dead women to lack agency; they nourish us and the earth, and they speak with their bodies, literally, positioning themselves as recovered entities with agency, in the poet's skilled narrativizing hands.

Romanian-American poet Claudia Serea documents the end of the Ceausescu regime in these poems of first-hand witness. Romanian-American poet Claudia Serea was a witness to the last days of the Ceausescu reign of terror and a participant in the revolution that toppled his regime, so her first-hand account of living through those times is an essential historical document as well as vital, vivid verse. "I could draw the details from memory," she says of her childhood, and she does, including surprisingly revealing details. Of the dangerous days following the Chernobyl disaster, she recalls that after a "Summer came quickly / with no birds" her mother bought a rare treat of cherries that "glistened on the plate"--the absence of birds having increased the yield of fruit. Explaining "How I earned 10 lei in second grade" by following her music teacher's instruction to keep playing no matter what, she recounts playing her violin in a recital despite a neon ceiling fixture "crashing / with a bang / at my feet." These childhood experiences prepared Serea well to survive many other crashes to come, including the crash of tyrants; and to learn to seek joy in the midst of tragedy. "We never talk about the past," she says of her family, and of a past beset with famine and hunger; but she breaks with that tradition and speaks powerfully of her past, in the process finding her way back to her roots. "The road home belongs / to those who dare"--Claudia Serea dares to take that road, and to take us along on her journey. "The poems in Claudia Serea's new book, In Those Years, No One Slept, might keep you awake all night. They are beautifully made, haunting, often incantatory, and always searingly honest."--Lloyd Schwartz, author of Who's on First? New and Selected Poems "From the threshold of her American life and with a poetic sensibility unlike any other's, Serea takes stock of a past shaped by the terrors and austerities of authoritarianism to survey the damage, but also to feed the ghosts and salvage beauty from rubble, to resist and testify. Listen in, so we may never again have to count the dead 'like cornmeal and beans,' exhale 'a small cloud' in the murderous cold to prove we are alive, or 'hang on the clotheslines / silhouettes of unborn children.' Both 'prayer pinned to the moon' and dazzling ode to the wound, this is a haunting collection of bold tenderness."--Mihaela Moscaliuc, author of Cemetery Ink "In Claudia Serea's startling new collection, the intersection of life and death is beauty: the eyes of the dead bloom chicory and milkweed, the moon searches for baby teeth in the dark crevices of a thatch roof, and glistening cherries are coveted by a Romanian mother for her children during the birdless summer after Chernobyl. Even the quiet beauty of a young girl reading alone in a shed is touched by impermanence and mortality: she reads 'old books stinking of mice, falling apart.' And yet mortals still spread luminous wings, starlight sprouting on their hands."--Sharon Mesmer, author of Greetings From My Girlie Leisure Place "No one wears the 'shackles' of memory as palpably as Claudia Serea in this lyric testament to the poetry of small survivings in Ceausescu's Romania. The motion of her gaze passes seamlessly across the village, the darned socks, the harrow of years in which everyone 'slept standing,' but what astonishes me most is her refusal of the tragic, her insistence on the life as it was lived--on the scents of sunflower seeds, the dry of red poppies, the language of the landscape speaking despite the fear and silence. To write despite the burying is to write to spite the dictator. Serea's evocations of memory leave no tree's language unheard. She leaves no silence lyre-less."--Alina Stefanescu, author of Dor Poetry. History.
