Thank you for subscribing to our channel! ‪@malaprops‬ Breaking into Blossom gathers modern and contemporary poems that use a wide array of techniques and approaches to ending the poem: endings that crescendo and exhort, double back or taper down, those that reverse expectation, embody paradox, or enact their logic in their formal DNA. In their introductory craft essay, co-editors Luke Hankins and Nomi Stone grapple with questions of closure, wholeness, pleasure, power, universalism, subjectivity, discord, exclusion, resistance, surprise, and bewilderment. Finding fracturing points in their own conversation while considering the aesthetics, ethics, and politics of different kinds of endings, the editors consider such questions as the value of epiphany, what kinds of endings might be likelier to be commodified, how the poem and the mind keep going beyond the page, and more. Hankins and Stone also offer a taxonomy of ending types to think with. This groundbreaking anthology includes poems about mystery, love, dread, cruelty, violence and war; poems of motherhood; of disability; of masculinity; of queerness; of baldness. Poems of transforming bodies and Black joy and failure and hope. The poems sometimes break into blossom; other times, they just break. Or they leave us in wonderment with their quiet buds unfolding into the world. Luke Hankins is the author of several poetry collections, including MAGNITUDE: New & Selected Short Poems, forthcoming next year from Texas Review Press. He is also the author of a collection of essays and a volume of translations of French poems by Stella Vinitchi Radulescu. The founder and editor of Orison Books, a non-profit literary press focused on the life of the spirit from a broad and inclusive range of perspectives, he also serves as director of UNC Asheville's Great Smokies Writing Program. Candlewood Collective, founded by actors Emily Tynan McDaniel and Lauren H. Davis, supports the creative careers of the incredible acting talent local to the Asheville area and invites our community in to showcase the work of these amazing professional performers. -- Keep in touch with Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe: Visit our website: https://www.malaprops.com/ Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/subscribe-malaprops-enews Instagram:   / malapropsbookstore   Threads: https://threads.net/malapropsbookstore Facebook:   / malapropsbooks   Order audio books at https://libro.fm/malaprops Find and support more independent bookstores: https://www.indiebound.org/
