    A young boy's grief and a heartfelt Christmas wish give away to a magical adventure of hope.It's the first Christmas Eve without his loving parents, and a grief-stricken child named Gabe has a sad heart. Mourning their absence, the despondent boy makes a wish that changes his lonely night into one of adventure. Through a dreamily illustrated text, author Katrina Doucet masterfully weaves a poignant story of hope about dealing with loss. At bedtime in his grandparent's house, Gabe is missing his parents on his first Christmas Eve since they passed away. He comforts himself by holding the last cherished gift they gave their son, a beautiful snow globe. Tears falling, he looks out the window to find a reindeer just like the one in his snow globe. As the globe begins to glow, Gabe closes his eyes, making a wish to see his parents again. He opens them to find himself magically inside the snow globe, along with the reindeer, whose name is Comet.The pair fly together until they reach the North Pole, where Gabe is surprised to see a vibrant and quaint village full of festive lights, holiday music, friendly animals, and candy. He is shown around by friendly elves, but the lively Christmas cheer makes Gabe mourn the wonderful holidays he shared with his parents, deepening his grief. Comet brings him to a sparkling and magical pond, where Gabe looks at his watery reflection and releases a cascade of emotions: sadness, longing, and anger. When Gabe looks down again, what's reflected back is an image of his loving parents embracing him. "They are always with me," Gabe realized as he rubbed away his tears. When it is finally Christmas morning at his grandparents' house, he is surprised with another loving gift that conveys that parents' love endures forever.Katrina Doucet's moving story gently addresses the difficult topic of grief, its associated many emotions, and how to heal and move forward in a healthy way. A wonderful read-aloud, Gabe's Christmas Wish brings a meaningful message of hope, helping families and educators of young children bridge this challenging subject.

  • af Heidi Elaine Hermanson

    Hermanson takes readers on the open road, where the lusty movements of the world turn to uninhibited conversations with herself, her father, Buddha, a truck driver, and God. She writes with fierce awareness in a language the mystifies the small and familiar and is loaded with philosophical insights. Her poems breathe, stand ready, listening and absent of ego.-Amy Plettner, author of Undoing Orion's Belt and Points of EntryHeidi Hermanson is an itinerant, forever on the road. We are the hitchhikers she has picked up, and our fellow travelers are Grace (and grace) and the Buddha. Hermanson tells us, "There // must be something / beautiful waiting for me / down that dusty road" ("The Road"). And so there is. Hermanson says, "It is in the small things / we see it" ("Too Full"), and her book is a loving, careful recreation of such small wonders. What Hermanson says of a butterfly in "While the Sink Fills" might be said of each of them: "I transcribe your words / on my wings." And just like that, we have left the road and are in flight. There is no better flying companion than Heidi Hermanson.-Clif Mason, author of Knocking the Stars Senseless and The Book of Night & Waking All the characteristics I have always admired in Hermanson's work are writ large here-An exacting/fearless attention to the most subtle emotional rumblings, a deep love for the unheralded corners of life, a relationship to place that is as thorough as an old marriage, as sparky as new love. At times her poems feel like conversations had driving a country road at dusk, elsewhere, like the overheard pains and delights of a deeply interior life. Further, when she writes, "I am as sleepy as America, / eyes half-shut with her hair pinned back," she shows an ease and deftness with the best of broad ideas.-Rebecca Rotert, author of Last Night at the Blue Angel and All The Animals We Ever Were

  • af Charles Baudelaire
    149,95 kr.

    Known to his contemporaries primarily as an art critic, but ambitious to secure a more lasting literary legacy, Charles Baudelaire, a Parisian bohemian, spent much of the 1840s composing gritty, often perverse, poems that expressed his disgust with the banality of modern city life.First published in 1857, the book that collected these poems together, Les Fleurs du mal, was an instant sensation-earning Baudelaire plaudits and, simultaneously, disrepute. Only a year after Gustave Flaubert had endured his own public trial for published indecency (for Madame Bovary), a French court declared Les Fleurs du mal an offense against public morals and six poems within it were immediately suppressed (a ruling that would not be reversed until 1949, nearly a century after Baudelaire's untimely death). Subsequent editions expanded on the original, including new poems that have since been recognized as Baudelaire's masterpieces, producing a body of work that stands as the most consequential, controversial and influential book of poetry from the nineteenth century.Acclaimed translator and poet Aaron Poochigian tackles this revolutionary text with an ear attuned to Baudelaire's lyrical innovations-rendering them in "an assertive blend of full and slant rhymes and fluent iambs" (A. E. Stallings)-and an intuitive feel for the work's dark and brooding mood. Poochigian's version captures the incantatory, almost magical, effect of the original-reanimating for today's reader Baudelaire's "unfailing vision" that "trumpeted the space and light of the future" (Patti Smith).An introduction by Dana Gioia offers a probing reassessment of the supreme artistry of Baudelaire's masterpiece, and an afterword by Daniel Handler explores its continued relevance and appeal. Featuring the poems in English and French, this deluxe dual-language edition allows readers to commune both with the original poems and with these electric, revelatory translations.

  • af April Bernard
    211,95 kr.

    Balancing emotional openness with formal restraint, April Bernard proves once again a poet who "harmonizes the raucous and the classic, the songful and the wry, the courtly and the quick" (Wayne Koestenbaum). Throughout her sixth collection, Bernard searches for "the world behind the world," a spiritual realm of justice and peace, music and grace. The host of saints present in this parallel world includes poets-John Ashbery, Thomas Wyatt, Gerard Manley Hopkins-as well as folklore spirits, animals wild and domestic, and personal ghosts.Mystical, daring, expertly crafted, and ironic, The World Behind the World embarks on a wide-ranging journey through memory and loss to reach "that other world, where nothing human can wreck us." Along the way, the poet conjures lush woodlands and icy oceans, wry conversations with voices from the past, and transformative moments of reckoning and healing. Rising up from despair, anger, and grief, this powerful collection proposes a moving, personal faith.

    "Like two doomed ships that pass in stormWe had crossed each other's way:But we made no sign, we said no word,We had no word to say"-Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898) The poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898) by Oscar Wilde, was inspired by the two years he spent in the jail of Reading Gaol, England.

    "A moving meditation on grief and motherhood by one of Britain's most celebrated poets. Say Something Back will allow readers to see just why Denise Riley has been held in such high regard by her fellow poets for so long. The book reproduces A Part Song, a profoundly moving document of grieving and loss, and one of the most widely admired long poems of recent years. Elsewhere these poems become a space for contemplation of the natural world and of physical law, and for considering what it is to invoke those who are absent. But finally, they extend our sense of what the act of human speech can mean--and especially what is drawn forth from us when we address our dead. Lyric, intimate, acidly witty, unflinchingly brave, Say Something Back--which also includes a powerful new prose meditation about grief and its aftermath, "Time Lived, Without Its Flow"--is a deeply moving book by one of our finest poets, and one destined to introduce Riley's name to a wide new readership"--

Auden, Stevie Smith, Mark Doty, Frank Bidart, Toi Derricotte, Lynn Emanuel, and Cornelius Eady are only a few of the many poets, old and new, whose work is captured in this heart-stopping-and criminally entertaining-collection.

    Poetry is a very personal type of writing. Poets turn pain into lessons and create stories from their happiness. For most, their best poems and prose come from grief, loss, sadness, tragedy, and pure joy, from places they've been, people they've loved, people they've lost, and all of life's happy memories.April Y. Spellmeyer has done just that; capturing snapshots of her life and giving her emotions a voice throughout this collection of over 200 hand-selected pieces of raw, passionate, unmerciful quotes, poetry, and prose. April expresses herself in raw, unfiltered emotional imagery and balances it with the beauty of hope, love, strength, and healing.Poetry Stained Lips is more than words on a page, it's who April Y. Spellmeyer is. It is her journey, her life's beautiful moments, her struggles, it's her truth.
