Looking back to the early 20th century and forward to the contemporary, Earth and Heaven gathers voices and stories as it moves through "four ages" of mythic history.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/earth-and-heaven-anthology-myth-poetry?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/earth-and-heaven-anthology-myth-poetry?#comments Books amanda jernigan heaven and earth mythology myths Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:03:01 +0000 Alex Pepple 1455 at https://www.ablemuse.com All the Daylight Hours: Poems https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/all-daylight-hours-poems? <!--paging_filter--><p><em>All the Daylight Hours</em>, Amanda Jernigan's second poetry collection, took shape over the course of twelve years, through many changes of setting and amid a changing cast of characters encountered both face to face and in the pages of books long lived-with and loved. The poems themselves ring changes on nature and artifice, love and loss, the power of language and the limitations of language, returning to these themes in a wide variety of registers.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/all-daylight-hours-poems?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/all-daylight-hours-poems?#comments Books all the daylight hours amanda jernigan poems poetry Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:03:01 +0000 Alex Pepple 1456 at https://www.ablemuse.com Groundwork https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/groundwork? <!--paging_filter--><p>The three sequences of Groundwork comprise a sophisticated reworking of European myth on the order of Yeats’s The Tower. The first is situated by an archaeological dig in modern-day Tunisia, the second by the Garden of Eden, the third by the waters and islands of Homer’s Odyssey. Together they form a devastating critique of contemporary aesthetics.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/groundwork?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v9/books/amanda-jernigan/groundwork?#comments Books amanda jernigan Groundwork Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:03:00 +0000 Alex Pepple 1454 at https://www.ablemuse.com What The Darkness Proposes: Poems (Johns Hopkins: Poetry and Fiction) https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/books/what-darkness-proposes-poems-johns-hopkins-poetry-and-fiction? <!--paging_filter--><p>"Martin is a moralist in the best sense of the word, a poet concerned with defining human values in a changing society, making his points with wit as well as compassion.

The couplet that leads into Charles Martin's fifth collection of richly inventive poems suggests that the world is to be read into and wondered over. The signs in this new work from the prize-winning American poet of formal brilliance and darkly comic sensibility are as stark as the one on a cage at the zoo that says ENDANGERED SPECIES, as surprising as those that announce the return of irony, and as enigmatic as a single word carved on a tombstone.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/books/signs-wonders-johns-hopkins-poetry-and-fiction?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/books/signs-wonders-johns-hopkins-poetry-and-fiction?#comments Books charles martin poem poetry poetry translation translation v17 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:35:04 +0000 Alex Pepple 1185 at https://www.ablemuse.com Metamorphoses: A New Translation https://www.ablemuse.com/v6/books/metamorphoses-new-translation? <!--paging_filter--><p><strong>"A version that has been long awaited, and likely to become the new standard."—Michael Dirda, <em>Washington Post</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v6/books/metamorphoses-new-translation?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v6/books/metamorphoses-new-translation?#comments Books charles martin poem poetry poetry translation translation v17 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:35:04 +0000 Alex Pepple 1184 at https://www.ablemuse.com Latest News: Kindle Edition, New Reviews and Features, Updates https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/latest-news-kindle-edition-new-reviews-and-features-updates? <div id="post_message_202094"> <p><strong>ABLE MUSE, KINDLE EDITION</strong><br> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/latest-news-kindle-edition-new-reviews-and-features-updates?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/latest-news-kindle-edition-new-reviews-and-features-updates?#comments Books able muse anthology panel april lindner Catherine Chandler first books panel grasshopper kindle lines of flight margaret griffiths maz nevertheless poems poetry conference wendy videlock west chester university Mon, 20 Jun 2011 23:35:12 +0000 Alex Pepple 824 at https://www.ablemuse.com Now Released: Acclaimed new books from Able Muse Press https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/now-available-acclaimed-new-book-released-able-muse-press? <p><style type="text/css"></style></p> <p><strong>Now available: Acclaimed new releases from Able Muse Press--</strong></p> <p>I'm pleased to announce three new poetry collections have been released are are now available from <a href="http://www.ablemusepress.com">Able Muse Press</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/now-available-acclaimed-new-book-released-able-muse-press?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/now-available-acclaimed-new-book-released-able-muse-press?#comments Books able muse anthology panel Catherine Chandler first books panel grasshopper lines of flight margaret griffiths maz nevertheless poems poetry conference wendy videlock west chester university Sun, 08 May 2011 22:56:55 +0000 Alex Pepple 819 at https://www.ablemuse.com LAST CALL: ABLE MUSE Book Award Deadline - ONLY HOURS (1+ DAYS) TO GO https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/last-call-able-muse-book-award-deadline-only-hours-1-days-go? <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/last-call-able-muse-book-award-deadline-only-hours-1-days-go?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/blogs/alex-pepple/last-call-able-muse-book-award-deadline-only-hours-1-days-go?#comments Books BOOKS ANDREW HUDGINS BOOK AWARD CATHERINE CHANDLER GRASSHOPPER LINES OF FLIGHT MARGARET GRIFFITHS MAZ NEVERTHELESS POEMS WENDY VIDELOCK Wed, 30 Mar 2011 01:21:41 +0000 Alex Pepple 802 at https://www.ablemuse.com
