Styx A Bilingual Edition Featuring a New Translation

Else Lasker-Schüler,Mildred Faintly
My laughter came tearing out of me, child-eyed, leaping in front of your door, singing Day in the face of Night. Mildred Faintly gives power to female voices from around the world that have not received the literary recognition they deserved. With this stunning collection, Faintly presents us Styx - German-Jewish Else Lasker-Schüler's first poetry book, which in its entirety had not been published in English. Until now. The exquisite translation goes beyond a faithful line-by-line representation of the German text. It brings Lasker-Schüler to life in the nuanced and coruscating complexity that characterized her personality: irreverent, sensuous, courageous, loving, lonely, funny, facetious, earnest, while covering the wide thematic range of the only woman poet to play a major role in the Expressionist movement.

Arkansas

David Leavitt
David Leavitt's reputation has rested upon stories and novels that explicate a sedate, upper-middle class world of reserved emotions and sexuality. In his new collection of three novellas Arkansas, he explores new territory. Droll, surprising, and very sexy, these works often shock and startle the reader. In "The Term Paper Artist," a writer named David Leavitt writes school papers for cute undergraduates in exchange for sexual favors, and in "Saturn Street." a gay man who delivers lunches to homebound people with AIDS falls in love with one of his clients. Beautifully written and alarmingly funny, Arkansas is one of the best works of gay fiction in years.

The Politics of poetic form: poetry and public policy

Charles Bernstein
"The Politics of Peotic Form: Poetry and Public Space is a series of essays from a discussion that occurred at the New School for Social Research in New York. The discussion mines the relationship between poetic composition and political expression. Poetry's relationship to public policy typically has a questionable margin of relation. Not only does this volume posit that poetry is a dynamic medium for the consideration of political ideas, it focuses on the ideological weight specific formal innovations bring to poetry. Some of the writers include Jerome Rothenberg, Ron Silliman, Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey and Charles Bernstein".
