Summary

Thaw is a book-length sequence of short poems, all ten lines long. Like haiku, at first glance these seem simple meditations on nature that, when given time, open out into a larger reflections on human experience, emotions and how the three interact.
Nuñez enjoys playing with symbols, allowing images to break out into intellectual puzzles and literary references, and resulting in a sequence that is both shadowy and illuminating, tender and insistent, broad and deeply personal.
Víctor Rodríguez Núñez has published eleven books of poetry, many of them recipients of literary awards, including Spain's Leonor Prize (2006), Rincón de la Victoria Prize (2010) and Jaime Gil de Biedma Prize (2011). His poems appear in several magazines in the UK and the US, as well as the Arc collection The Infinite's Ash. He is currently an Associate Professor of Spanish at Kenyon College, Ohio.
Katherine M Hedeen also teaches at Kenyon College, and co-edits (alongside Núñez) the Earthworks Series of Latin American Poetry in Translation for Salt in the UK.
This title is also available from Amazon as an eBook.
Available since: 07/01/2013.
Print length: 136 pages.

    Caught between a loving husband and a man from her past, one woman chooses an unconventional way to explore her personal "road not taken". Love is not Pie is a personal exploration navigating the world of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. This collection of poems - erotic, yearning, sweet and angry - was written by Lazaruk to and about her two beloved men over the course of several years. Collected here for the first time, the original poems are woven together with new pieces that provide context for how the story unfolded. In this expressive work of poetry, Lazaruk explores attachment, fear, love, lust, grief and the push-pull between what she knows is right and how she justifies her actions. Love is Not Pie will resonate with readers who have flirted with relationships outside the norm of Western marital conventions, as well as those who are interested in peering behind the curtain of what most of us show the world about our private lives. Narrated here by the author, she and her producer Paul Tedeschini, collaborated to create the sensual aural world of Love is Not Pie, setting the various scenes through the skillful use of sound design to add a unique ambience and feel to these tiny little gems. We hope you enjoy the audio experience. Please note it is best realized with headphones, both for the sound quality as well as for keeping the NSFW nature of this work on the DL while listening. Have fun!

    The final play of the Oresteia, called The Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες, Eumenídes), illustrates how the sequence of events in the trilogy ends up in the development of social order or a proper judicial system in Athenian society. 
In this play, Orestes is hunted down and tormented by the Furies, a trio of goddesses known to be the instruments of justice, who are also referred to as the "Gracious Ones" (Eumenides). They relentlessly pursue Orestes for the killing of his mother. However, through the intervention of Apollo, Orestes is able to escape them for a brief moment while they are asleep and head to Athens under the protection of Hermes. Seeing the Furies asleep, Clytemnestra's ghost comes to wake them up to obtain justice on her son Orestes for killing her.
