Описание:
An incisive new collection of poetry on political and contemporary themes
I'm made of murderers I'm made Of nobodies and immigrants and the poor and a whole / Family the mother's liver and her lungs In The Gilded Auction Block, the acclaimed poet Shane McCrae considers the present moment in America on its own terms as well as for what it says about the American project and Americans themselves. In the book's four sections, McCrae alternately responds directly to Donald Trump and contextualizes him historically and personally, exploding the illusions of freedom of both black and white Americans. A moving, incisive, and frightening exploration of both the legacy and the current state of white supremacy in this country, The Gilded Auction Block is a book about the present that reaches into the past and stretches toward the future.

Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet
I think now more than half Of life is death but I can't die Enough for all the life I see In Sometimes I Never Suffered, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains "a shrewd composer of American stories" (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America's, as well as his own, racial history. Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time's manifold potential to mend.

Описание:
An unprecedentedly intimate portrait of an emperor penguin colony in Antarctica, by a Bafta Award-winning BBC director of photography who observed these extraordinary birds for a year. Generously illustrated with the author's breathtaking companion images, this is the ultimate gift for any penguin or nature lover.
For 337 consecutive days, Lindsay McCrae followed 4,000 emperor penguins amid the singular beauty of Antarctica, chronicling their remarkable year-long journey of life, death, and birth. McCrae was there as the director of photography for the acclaimed BBC series Dynasties (narrated by Sir David Attenborough), for which he won a 2019 Bafta Award. Even in the depths of the Antarctic winter--the harshest environment on earth--McCrae witnessed the most intimate moments of these beloved animals as they sought survival with temperatures reaching 60 degrees below zero.
An unforgettable narrative account that is poised to become a classic of nature writing, My Penguin Year takes readers into the world of the emperor penguin as no book has before. Emperors are the world's largest penguins, and they play the game of life on the highest difficulty level, breeding in pairs on sea ice during the Antarctic winter. After mating, the female penguin lays her egg, and then disappears, not to return for months. The male penguin will starve himself for more than 100 days, incubating the egg in his pouch, while the female heads off in search of food. Finally, the female returns, and, recognizing her original mate by the sound of his call, is reunited with the father and their newly-hatched chick.
Highlights:
A decision to save penguins' lives. McCrae details the difficult decision to break documentary protocol and intervene to save a band of penguins who had become trapped in an icy ravine, sure to die without human intervention.
Becoming a new father while on the ice. While filming the lifecycle of the penguins, McCrae himself became a father. He did not see his son until the child was seven months old.
The emperors' uncertain future. The emperors breed on frozen sea ice. As ocean temperatures rise, their rookeries are endangered--and so too is this extraordinary species. Indeed in April 2019, the New York Times reported that "The Antarctic's second-largest colony of emperor penguins collapsed ... with more than 10,000 chicks lost, and the population has not recovered."
One year in the wild Antarctic. McCrae's narrative is also wonderfully evokes an extraordinary natural place, from the rare vantage point of someone who has spent every season there.
Wonderfully compelling, filled with surprising depth, insight, and warmth, and illustrated with 16 pages of color photographs and 24 black-and-white images, My Penguin Year is essential reading for animal lovers, amateur naturalists, and fans of true-life adventure tales as well as H is for Hawk and The Shepherd's Life.
