 | The Short Stories: The First Forty-nine Stories with a Brief Preface by the Author
Release Date: August 1, 1995At the age of twenty-two, Ernest Hemingway wrote his first short story, "Up in Michigan." Seventeen years and forty-eight titles later, he was the undisputed master of the short-story form and the leading American man of letters.

Originally published in 1938 along with The Fifth Column, ...

|  | Jules Laforgue: Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)
Release Date: June 1, 1999| Series: Penguin Classics Deeply nihilistic yet full of yearning, tender yet savagely self-mocking, Laforgue has a unique voice and vision that nonetheless mark him out as one of the founding fathers of modernism. Like Charles Baudelaire before him, he was determined to face up to the ugly and decadent as well as the conventionally poetic aspects of himself and the world about him. In a career that rivals Arthur Rimbaud's for its tragically brief, accelerated development, he pioneered the use of coarse colloquialism, startling rhymes, and astonishing invented words...

|  | Vegetal Sex (Engaged Writers)
Publication Date: February 16, 2011| Series: Engaged Writers In this translated collection of avant-garde poems, Medeiros engages in graphic acts of Vegetal Sex. Plant life and inanimate objects assume erotic qualities, are given the attentiveness of a lover or, perhaps more accurately, a voyeur lurking in shadow. Medeiros is simultaneously tender and lewd, ecological and absurd, merging the minuscule and cosmological properties of the universe with the poetics of a sylph. Sergio Medeiros creates a cutting-edge and unsettling pastiche. ...

If racism has an everyday life, how does it remain so powerful and yet mask its very presence? To answer this question, Sharon Patricia Holland moves into the territory of the erotic, understanding racism's practice as constitutive to the practice of ...
