    A chapbook of love poems from Pulitzer Prize winner Yusef KomunyakaaI Said That Love Heals From Inside: Love Poems is a small treasure featuring five decades of love poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa. This selection of poems captures a broad understanding of the love poetry category--there is love and the lack of it everywhere: in the bedroom and on the basketball court in the Jazz club and on the battlefield. As Komunyakaa writes, "Hard love, it's hard love."

    Ausgezeichnet mit dem Pulitzer-Preis für Poesie - "Eine monumentale und einzigartige amerikanische Stimme." Publishers Weekly"Diese Lieder führen über unbefestigte Straßen / & Highways, durchqueren einsame Meere / & erklimmen Berge, überqueren Himmel / & Unterwelten von Neon Honkytonk,/ Wo auch immer der Blues zu reisen wagt." Schillernd, ironisch und zugleich unheimlich sind die Verse von Yusef Komunyakaa, der wie ein Jazzmusiker schreibt und dabei nicht nur die afroamerikanische Geschichte mitschwingen lässt, sondern auch der Spur der Gewalt in unserer Welt nachgeht. Wenn die Verträge des Gottes der Landminen "bereits unterschrieben ankommen", "bleibt uns nichts zu sagen, / außer 'Bitte, Erbarmen, leg los'." Zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch eine umfassende Werkauswahl von einem der originellsten US-Dichter in der glänzenden Übersetzung von Mirko Bonné.

    Warhorses is the haunting, electric work of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who never ceases to challenge and delight his readers.This powerful collection of Yusef Komunyakaa's poetry delves, with his characteristic allusiveness, intelligence, and intensity, into an age of war and conflict, both global and internal, racial and sexual. "Sweetheart, was I talking war in my sleep / again?" he asks, and the question is hardly moot: "Sometimes I hold you like Achilles' / shield," and indeed all relationships, in this telling, are sites of violence and battle. His line is longer and looser than in Taboo or Talking Dirty to the Gods, and in long poems like "Autobiography of My Alter Ego" he sounds almost breathless, an exhausted but desperate prophet. With the leaps and improvisational flourishes of a jazz soloist, Komunyakaa imagines "the old masters of Shock & Awe" daydreaming of "lovely Penelope / like a trophy."

    With the allusive leaps and improvisational chops of a jazz soloist, Yusef Komunyakaa is our great poet of connectivity--the secret blood that links slave and master, explorer and native, stranger and brother. In Taboo he examines the role of blacks in Western history, and how these roles are portrayed in art and literature. In taut, meticulously crafted three-line stanzas, Rubens paints his wife looking longingly at a black servant; Aphra Behn writes Oroonoko "as if she'd rehearsed it/for years in her spleen"; and in Monticello, Thomas Jefferson is "still/at his neo-classical desk/musing, but we know his mind/is brushing aside abstractions/so his hands can touch flesh." Taboo is the powerful first book in a new trilogy by a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet whose work never ceases to challenge and delight his readers.
