Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) To Our Bodies Turn We Then
Book SynopsisFrom his early love poetry to his late religious writing, John Donne speaks of the human body as a book to be read and interpreted. Unlike modern thinkers who understand the body as a purely material phenomenon or post-modern critics who see in it a text produced by culture, Donne understands the body as a (scriptural) text written by God. In this study, McDuffie offers a comprehensive interpretation of Donne''s reading of the body. In Donne''s imaginative universe, the human person lies at the center of the great interconnected web of God''s signs and acts. As such, he makes it the touchstone of his own theology. While his anthropology is basically orthodox, the emphasis Donne places on the body and the role it plays in his religious poetics are distinctive. Refusing to restrict God''s revelation to the written words of Scripture, Donne turns habitually to the book of the human body as a collection of signs that indicate God''s nature, his intent, and the human condition. He also, at Trade Review"In this essay, Felecia McDuffie retireves the full theological significance of the "body" in Joh Donne's theology. Eschewing partisan paradigms, McDuffie instead embraces faithful close-reading of Donne in context. Her rigor and attentiveness richly reward the reader with a bench-mark study in the history of Donne scholarship that upends much of what we thought we knew of his theology." -David S.

City Lights Books Lunch Poems
Book SynopsisEssential poems by the late New York poet.Lunch Poems, first published in 1964 by City Lights Books as number nineteen in the Pocket Poets series, is widely considered to be Frank O''Hara''s freshest and most accomplished collection of poetry.Edited by the poet in collaboration with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Donald Allen, who had published O''Hara''s poems in his monumental The New American Poetry in 1960, it contains some of the poet''s best known works including The Day Lady Died, Ave Maria, and Poem [Lana Turner has collapsed!]. These are the compelling and formally inventive poems?casually composed, for example, in his office at The Museum of Modern Art, in the street at lunchtime or on the Staten Island Ferry en route to a poetry reading?that made O''Hara a dynamic leader of the New York School of poets.O''Hara speaks directly across the decades to our hopes and fears and especially our delights; his lines are as intimate as a telephone call. Few books of his era show less age.?Dwight Garner, New York TimesAs collections go, none brings . . . quality to the fore more than the thirty-seven Lunch Poems, published in 1964 by City Lights.?Nicole Rudick, The Paris ReviewWhat O''Hara is getting at is a sense of the evanescence, and the power, of great art, that inextricable contradiction ? that what makes it moving and transcendent is precisely our knowledge that it will pass away. This is the ethos at the center of Lunch Poems: not the informal or the conversational for their own sake but rather in the service of something more intentional, more connective, more engaged. ?David L. Ulin, Los Angeles TImesThe collection broadcasts snark, exuberance, lonely earnestness, and minute-by-minute autobiography to a wide, vague audience?much like today''s Twitter and Facebook feeds.?Micah Mattix, The AtlanticSweet poems, funny, exhilarating, spontaneous, subversive, poignant, and sometimes?often?more deeply, even darkly moving. But above all sweet. Probably a greater proportion of O?Hara?s poems can be read for sheer pleasure than the poems of any other 20th-century writer. This slim volume is his liveliest, most distilled and delectable single collection. Quintessential O?Hara, and such a bargain!?Lloyd Schwartz, Grolier Poetry Book Shop
