This polished literary history argues forcefully that Latinos are not newcomers in the United States by documenting a vast network of Spanish-language cultural activity in the nineteenth century. Juxtaposing poems and essays by both powerful and peripheral writers, Kirsten Silva Gruesz proposes a major revision of the nineteenth-century U.S. canon and its historical contexts. Drawing on previously unpublished archival materials and building on an innovative interpretation of poetry's cultural role, Ambassadors of Culture brings together scattered writings from the borderlands of California and the Southwest as well as the cosmopolitan exile centers of New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco. It reads these productions in light of broader patterns of relations between the U.S. and Latin America, moving from the fraternal rhetoric of the Monroe Doctrine through the expansionist crisis of 1848 to the proto-imperialist 1880s. It shows how ''ambassadors of culture'' such as Whitman, Longfellow, and Bryant propagated ideas about Latin America and Latinos through their translations, travel writings, and poems. In addition to these well-known figures and their counterparts in the work of nation-building in Cuba, Mexico, and Central and South America, this book also introduces unremembered women writers and local poets writing in both Spanish and English. In telling the almost forgotten early history of travels and translations between U.S. and Latin American writers, Gruesz shows that Anglo and Latino traditions in the New World were, from the beginning, deeply intertwined and mutually necessary.

This definitive biography gives a brilliant account of the life and art of Robert Duncan (1919–1988), one of America’s great postwar poets. Lisa Jarnot takes us from Duncan’s birth in Oakland, California, through his childhood in an eccentrically Theosophist household, to his life in San Francisco as an openly gay man who became an inspirational figure for the many poets and painters who gathered around him. Weaving together quotations from Duncan’s notebooks and interviews with those who knew him, Jarnot vividly describes his life on the West Coast and in New York City and his encounters with luminaries such as Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Paul Goodman, Michael McClure, H.D., William Carlos Williams, Denise Levertov, Robert Creeley, and Charles Olson.

SUMMARY: 2010 in Vancouver, B.C. is the setting where this exciting new literary novel portrays the turbulent rivalries and relationships among three adversarial poets competing for the position of poetic ambassador for ZeitGeist (ZG) Publishing House. A group of six ZG executive board members, led by their CEO Rudy Sorenson and his able secretary, Ms. Stephanie Nolan wrangle with each other as they frame just the right poetic portfolio assignment designed to test a controversial shortlist of poets. After an eventful initial interview with the enigmatic Pamela aka Ms. Felicity Traviss (aka Misty), Zachary Speller is shortlisted along with two other young contenders--the psychosexually manipulative Cynthia Davison and the heady intellectual Trevor Upton. As these three dynamic Gen-Xers have been given each other's relevant contact information in order that they may fine hone each other's skill set, all manner of intrigue takes place, with a variety of family and friends whose involvement complicates the quest and challenges our readers to figure out who will win as well as just who the different narrators really are from chapter to chapter in this thrilling, highly allusive and often edgy novel. Mysteries within mysteries about character and their choices abound as these three adversaries get to know each other and compete with one another for the elusive prize: the position of poetic ambassador. At times steamy and seductive and just as often bracingly intellectual, this novel is chock full of cultural references ranging from music and movies to poetry and hockey. These characters' make surprising choices and create some inspired original professional poetry, while vying for ZG approval. The action culminates in a Halloween gala at the Red Robinson Show Theatre, where everyone in the novel makes at least a cameo appearance in costume as comedians and poets try to outdo each other while making presentations for the applause of the audience and the approval of ZG executives and editors. While the tension ratchets up a notch or two after executive decisions once again figure prominently in the twisting plot, readers will find themselves scrambling to catch up with all the new character developments, clever jokes and simmering conflicts--and with a denouement that leaves them wanting more, but nonetheless satisfied with the steamy finale. STRUCTURE: This novel is organized into four parts. Part One (From Shortlist to Celebration) has 9 chapters; Part Two (Executive Decisions) has 4 chapters; Part Three (Liaisons) has 20 chapters; and Part Four (The Gala and Beyond) has 8 chapters. FEATURES TO CONSIDER: Ever wonder what goes on in an executive meeting behind closed boardroom doors? Or how the relationships between emotional intensity and intellectual acuity pumps passion through the veins of a professional poet? Or how the vicissitudes of personal or familial history can influence one's personal relationships and determine the extent to which sexual promiscuity influences those choices, either for good or for ill? Read The Poetic Ambassador for insights into these features and many other intriguing questions.

In this book, Douglas Biow traces the role that humanists played in the development of professions and professionalism in Renaissance Italy, and vice versa. For instance, humanists were initially quite hostile to medicine, viewing it as poorly adapted to their program of study. They much preferred the secretarial profession, which they made their own throughout the Renaissance and eventually defined in treatises in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Examining a wide range of treatises, poems, and other works that humanists wrote both as and about doctors, ambassadors, and secretaries, Biow shows how interactions with these professions forced humanists to make their studies relevant to their own times, uniting theory and practice in a way that strengthened humanism. His detailed analyses of writings by familiar and lesser-known figures, from Petrarch, Machiavelli, and Tasso to Maggi, Fracastoro, and Barbaro, will especially interest students of Renaissance Italy, but also anyone concerned with the rise of professionalism during the early modern period.

"In The old Ambassador and Other Poems, Wayne Courtois gives the reader a sense of the queer experience in America from the onset of the HIV epidemic to current times. This collection displays a mastery of making the personal universal. So often these poems could slip into sentimentality, rants, and political diatribe, but instead Courtois keeps the reader in the poem and, by default, in the poetic moment. His lexicon is often surprising, and his measured use of poetics is sly - opting for slant and internal rhyme instead of predictable hard end rhymes. Whether one flies a rainbow flag or wants to understand better those who do, this collection fills the reader with all of the splendor of being human in a world where one's inclinations towards love can still be opposed, violently, by the dimmest misinformed minds." - Shawn Pavey, author, Survival Tips for the Pending Apocalypse If you're looking for a light read, The Old Ambassador and Other Poems by Wayne Courtois is not for you. In this collection, Courtois simultaneously paints an elaborate portrait of and gives voice to an oppressed, undervalued, and essential part of our society. Bigotry and discrimination are tackled in these poems, but never given the forefront; the poet deftly highlights the injustices without succumbing to the elusive dangers of diatribe. At its core, this book is about love and togetherness. Sometimes that is shown in traditionally idyllic ways, other times Courtois admits, "it felt good to hit things together." Though love is at the center of this book, the poet never steers the reader too far into the land of fairytale, but instead reminds us that "Only the hooker down/the hall guarantees/a happy ending." As bleak as that sentiment may be, only a few lines later we are told to "never forget/we love each other." In "Heteronormative Bar-B-Q Sandwich," the reader is treated to brilliant comparison of two couples and their varied acceptance by the outside word. "City of No Return" is a tour-de-force of a poem documenting the rise and fall of a relationship, and the life after the fall. Of course, the centerpiece of the book is the epic "The Old Ambassador," which is roughly half of the collection. This long piece gives the reader a vivid glimpse of a building, a city, a life, and an entire section of our community and what they face on a daily basis. Right away Courtois grabs the reader with expert lines like, "Have you ever grabbed a/doorknob that's been painted/Over? It's like shaking hands/with a ghost." As heavy as this piece (and the book as a whole) is, the poet deftly weaves in snippets of humor: "As usual, /every cloud looks like a/penis." Ultimately, Wayne Courtois new book is a masterpiece of bombastic understatement, a call to arms, a soothing lullaby, and a love letter and a middle finger to a city. But in the end, The Old Ambassador and Other Poems expertly proves to us that "We're all in this together." -James Benger, author of From the Back "THE OLD AMBASSADOR AND OTHER POEMS is a singularly impressive achievement. These poems whisper with poignancy, with broken promises and old sadness. Yet at the same time, they uplift us. The attention to detail is rich, yet grounded in the everyday--in the broken concrete, cracked paint, and heat that pervade these lines and verses. These are not poems to read in a few short moments and then forget; these poems will haunt you. And that's a good thing. I've followed the writings of Wayne Courtois for a long while, and with this new book I can truly say -- I am in awe." -Robin Wayne Bailey, Swords Against the Shadow Dance
