Winner of the 2019 Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award, this sensuous collection bravely endeavors to share the wisdom age confers. In Shoreless, her fifth collection of poetry, Enid Shomer continues to explore her passionate relationship with the Florida landscape, the inextricable web of family, and the challenges of the body. While studded with the austere recognitions of growing older, these poems are punctuated by humor and play—formally elegant and inventive, beautifully textured and nuanced. Throughout the book, Shomer employs the language of science and Eros to uncover the exquisite truths of pain and pleasure.
Poet, short story writer, critic and novelist, Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) has been called the most metaphysical, the most learned, and the most modern of poets. With writing that reflects an intense interest in psychological, philosophical, and scientific issues, Aiken remains a unique influence upon modern writers and critics today. In his lifetime, Aiken received many awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1930 and the National Book Award for Poetry in 1954. He served as the Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress from 1950-1952. Selected Poems contains Aiken's own choice of the best and most representative of his poems, spanning more than forty years of his work. Harold Bloom has contributed a new Foreword to reintroduce Aiken to a new generation of readers. The inclusion of several pivotal poems from previous editions broadens the scope of the work to represent Aiken's legacy.
His days of suffering expanded to years. Sometimes Augi wasn’t strong. Often his walking was affected by fatigue. Yet he plodded on. Yet he lived. He persevered to a great degree by adjusting to lack. His military training doubtless assisted, but it was Augi’s unstoppable faith that provided his pipeline to hope. Toward the end of his most severe skirmish with discouragement, Augi employed a revival tactic. He renamed himself, “Gepeto’s Michaelangelo.” I asked Augi what the name meant to him. His reply? “God’s Masterpiece.” Then he smiled. The puppet poem is enchanting. It describes Augi’s relationship with the Almighty : “And how I love that tender hand that moves me with each winding strand.” Again Augi generates hope for himself and other via verse. Revived, Augi braces himself to fight again. Along the line he stops questioning why and accepts his lot as a warrior. He formulates his victory plan.
