DOWNLOAD EBOOKJust like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes an anthology as good as Only the Sea Keeps to bring the tsunami tragedy back into our hearts. The media are always looking for the next disaster, never staying at the same one for long. For those who want not to rush past this one, these poems help us to remember the dead and the survivors. And we don't have to do it alone. We're in the company of poets who haven't stopped caring.'-Hal Sirowitz, former Poet Laureate of Queens, New YorkIn a tremendous effort to come to terms with a natural disaster that took the life and livelihood of millions, and affected the whole world, this is a deeply moving collection of poems by a distinguished group of poets from across the world. Encompassing themes of grief, shock, disbelief and the painful process of healing, Only the Sea Keeps is a beautiful example of the ability of art to address tragedy.The proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the international relief organisations working with tsunami victims/survivors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHyperboreal originates from diasporas. It attempts to make sense of change and to prepare for cultural, climate, and political turns that are sure to continue. The poems originate from the hope that our lives may be enriched by the expression of and reflection on the cultural strengths inherent to indigenous culture. It concerns King Island, the ancestral home of the author's family until the federal government's Bureau of Indian Affairs forcibly and permanently relocated its residents. The poems work towards the assembly of an identity, both collective and singular, that is capable of looking forward from the recollection and impact of an entire community's relocation to distant and arbitrary urban centers. Through language, Hyperboreal grants forum to issues of displacement, lack of access to traditional lands and resources and loss of family that King Island people—and all Inuit—are contending with.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConcerned with giving voice to Cape Verdean life, Fortes writes in Cape Verdean Creole - and not just standard Portuguese - a powerful statement reinforcing the islands' distinctive African nature. However, his poems are often written from the perspective of an exile - and themes of exile and redemptive return recur in his work. This collection introduces English readers to Fortes, and the poet's beautiful and unique use of language.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'Two Men at Once' is one of Norman MacCaig best known poems. He was indeed two men at once: Edinburgh, the city where he was born and lived as a teacher and poet, was his home, but no other place shaped his poetry more than Assynt in Sutherland. It is here that he would spend many a summer on family holidays, walking the hills and fishing the lochs. MacCaig's fresh eye saw remarkable newness even in the everyday and each poem is a tiny revelation, a new look at an old friend. This collection celebrates, renews, and rediscovers Norman MacCaig's Assynt.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOf Sea takes the form of a poetic bestiary of creatures living beneath, beside and above the water: in wetlands, salt marshes and the intertidal zone. In a sequence of 46 poems, Burnett captures the world of cockles and clams, rare moths and the humble earwig (to name a few) with a precise and dynamic lyric that seems always on the verge of music. "Burnett is one of the UK's most original poets of the nonhuman world, and of our environmental moment. Innovative, dazzling, affecting poems that shimmer with intellectual acuity and emotional resonance." Rebecca Tamás
