This early volume of Clark Ashton Smith's poetry was published when he was nineteen. At that point, he achieved international acclaim, and an American critic dubbed him the "Keats of the Pacific." He moved for a short time in the same circles as Ambrose Bierce and Jack London. This collection of poetry is a sign of the talent to come.
Exciting, accomplished, and shimmering with ideas, Dear Life is the work of an exceptional talent. Together as never before, such figures as Larkin, Galileo and Milton, Turgenev and Willie Nelson help the poet explore, explain and address life as it is lived in the 21st Century.Ver livro

Here you'll find revellers, developers and dealers circling the city's glitzy heart, Lenin inspecting Swedish allotments, and people hanging on to housing as the city tries to squeeze them out in the search for ever more profit. Elastic Glue is a pamphlet rooted in place, looking critically at the intersections of who and what we share our spaces with, and what that means. This follow-up to Goose Fair Night examines the ways we own and are owned by land – how we both make and are made by the places we inhabit. Kathy Pimlott explores this through poetry which is sharp, lyrical, always political, and sometimes just exasperated.Ver livro
