Описание:
The wildly unrestrained poems in Splinters Are Children of Wood, Leia Penina Wilson's second collection and winner of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, pose an increasingly desperate question about what it means to be a girl, the ways girls are shaped by the world, as well as the role myth plays in this coming of age quest. Wilson, an afakasi Samoan poet, divides the book into three sections, linking the poems in each section by titles. In this way the poems act as a continuous song, an ode, or a lament revivifying a narrative that refuses to adopt a storyline.
Samoan myths and Western stories punctuate this volume in a search to reconcile identity and education. The lyrical declaration is at once an admiration of love and self-loathing. She kills herself. Resurrects herself. Kills herself again. She is also killed by the world. Resurrected. Killed again. These poems map displacement, discontent, and an increasing suspicion of the world itself, or the ways people learn the world. Drawing on the work of Bhanu Kapil, Anne Waldman, Alice Notley, and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Wilson's poems reveal familiarity and strangeness, invocation and accusation. Both ritual and ruination, the poems return again and again to desire, myth, the sacred, and body

Описание: Leia Penina Wilson's i built a boat with all the towels in your closet (and will let you drown) is at once a love ballad and a warning. These poems are--at their simplest--about relationships, sex, love, creatures, different kinds (and degrees) of violence, and--at their most complex--about the limits of the imagination, of language, and about the power the imagination has over the body. These poems confront the shifty line between human and animal, and urge the question: at what cost the body. Wilson's animal-human doesn't intend to answer that question; instead, she lunges towards it and tears it up and begins again, and again, and again.

Описание:
Welcome to the world of shidduch dating.
Like any world, it has its stereotypes. We've got the stingy guy and the superficial girl, the too-religious, the not-religious-enough and everyone in between. Those who are in it because they want to and those who are in it because their moms made them.
And mostly we've got the pressure. Pressure, pressure, pressure on all ends.
Basically, it's a lot of fun, a lot of tears, a lot of arguments and some love.
I'm sure you'll relate.
