PoemsPraise for SIX"This book of historical persona poems, spoken by the six wives of Henry VIII, could only have been written by a poet of prodigious imaginative powers, skill, and an enormous curiosity. That poet is Eve Wood and SIX is a wonderful book." —Thomas Lux "Eve Wood's haunted and haunting ventriloquisms of sixteenth-century women remind me of John Berryman's hallucinatory Mistress Bradstreet. Like Berryman, Wood shows us what might be made of history if poets had their way. —Michael Collier "Wood's use of returning and startling imagery pulls us into the haunting and heartless atmosphere into which each [of Henry VIII's wives] was thrown by marriage. [...] Equally remarkable ar the poet's divinings into these women's relationships with God and nature." —Kate Knapp Johnson "Gorgeous and chilling." —Gail Willumsen "These poems are a benediction — nuanced, so perfectly crafted in their loveliness [...] smart, savvy, tender and in many places, elegant and wise. Buy this book, and live more richly!"—John Fairfield Rice Praise for past works "Remarks on Color is a luminous tapestry of prose poetry that invites readers to embark on a chromatic odyssey. Wood’s stunning synthesis of familiar reality and surreal exaggeration illuminates the complex relationships, emotions and cultural associations we share with these spectral entities. As the amused reader considers the significance of each color in their own personal spectrum, Wood serves up a feast and critique of the colorful world in which we live. —Tyler Stallings "Employing the fictive voice of a former president, Eve Wood shifts the perspective on the happenings of our times — where all indicators point to the slow, inexorable collapse of the American Experiment – to the one man who represents the very heart of our onetime democracy and the towering soul of this once-revered nation: Abraham Lincoln. A Cadence for Redemption is a work of narrative brilliance, the arc and architecture of which is seemingly upheld by the merest of lyrical tentpoles — that, in all their brevity, of the poems themselves. Yet the ideas across the collection, and the emotive carry in each one of these songs of love, songs of longing and loss, are as equally affecting as they are disquieting; they are as well, in their grand sum, entirely profound. " —Christopher von Hassett, Riot Material “Quickened by passion and imagination, the body of poems that makes up Love’s Funeral is astoundingly alive.” —Mark Strand Praise for Eve Wood "As a lay reader, I found [Wood's] poetry rich, challenging and instinct with energy." —Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's Ark

Se t'immagino qui sono felice
Virginia Woolf conosce Vita Sackville-West alla fine del 1922: Vita ha trent'anni ed è una scrittrice affermata, mentre Virginia, che di anni ne ha dieci in più, ha appena iniziato a farsi un nome. Questo primo incontro si rivela fatale e sancisce un legame indissolubile, fatto di affinità intellettuale e attrazione. Il sentimento che le unisce si fa via via più profondo e trova espressione nelle numerose lettere che le due donne si scambiano per quasi un ventennio, fino alla morte della Woolf nel 1941: in queste pagine personali e intense, tenerezza, passione e comune sensibilità si fondono in un intreccio all'altezza dei loro più celebri romanzi.

a grammar of the world
a grammar of the world draws on the author's childhood traumatic flight from the Algerian War of Independence, the modern migrant crisis and the long history of the Mediterranean. This long poem is brought into harmony by a mythological figure personifying a reknitting of the world and repairing of ancient wounds through writing.

Lossless
"Lovers of science, lovers of poetry, and lovers of life will find themselves coming back to Lossless, and they will learn something new each time." – Caleb Edmondson, Mid-American Review "This is a terrific book made to 'poke' and prod your thinking, and to broaden your poetic imagination, and just when you think you understand the compression of Tierney’s thoughts (i.e. how he conceives of the world), flip flip flip goes the unsayable which is another wonderful line from his book." – Chris Banks, The Wood Lot

Poems
James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882, the eldest of ten children in a family which, after brief prosperity, collapsed into poverty. He was none the less educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). James Joyce died in Zürich, on 13 January 1941.

Städte aus Papier
Sie wird weltweit gelesen und gefeiert. Doch wer war Emily Dickinson wirklich? Bis heute bleibt die "Einsiedlerin aus Amherst" ein Rätsel. Auch mehr als ein Jahrhundert nach ihrem Tod wissen wir kaum etwas über die Frau, die als eine der bedeutendsten Figuren der Weltliteratur gilt; die den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen des 19. Jahrhunderts trotzte und deren rebellischer Geist sie zu einer feministischen Ikone hat werden lassen. Emily Dickinson wurde 1830 in der Kleinstadt Amherst in Massachusetts geboren und starb 56 Jahre später im selben Haus. Sie war nie verheiratet, hatte keine Kinder und verbrachte ihre letzten Jahre, ganz in Weiß gekleidet, zurückgezogen in ihrem Zimmer. Dort schrieb sie Hunderte von Gedichten, die sie nie veröffentlichen wollte - betörend schöne Zeilen über die Natur, über Einsamkeit, Schmerz, Glück, Ekstase, Liebe, den Tod und darüber, dass sie sich als Frau oft fehl am Platz fühlte.

Forlorn Light
Virginia Woolf Found PoemsTo write these poems, I select a paragraph from a Woolf novel and only use the words from that paragraph to create a poem. I essentially write poems while doing a word search using Virginia Woolf as source material. (Nazifa Islam)
