第2章 THE DEEPS

a children's book by Charlotte Lowell

A still morning sea, the Deeps all ase with a shush, some crash with a ROAR,

All eager to find what night left on shore.

Clamshells and starfish, smooth sea glass and stones.

Pieces of driftwood, washed pale as our bones.

Further and further, they draw up the sand,

Daring young Deeps, out exploring the land.

And look—someone's here. It's you, come to swim!

You kick off your shoes, run quick, and plunge in.

Hooray! cheer the Deeps, while lifting you high.

Let's play! you call out, now splashing the sky.

They tumble and toss you, upside and down.

You flip, flop and float, no feet on the ground.

The games go for hours, as happens with friends.

A magical day that you hope never ends.

But after some time, a voice calls your name.

The Deeps feel a pull from back where they came.

They slip out to sea, you wave a farewell,

From two different worlds, one story to tell.

?1978, Southaven Press

  • Selected Poems, 1930-1988

    Selected Poems, 1930-1988

    It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career. This new selection, from Whoroscope (1930) to 'what is the word' (1988), describes a lifetime's arc of writing. It was as a poet moreover that Beckett made his first breakthrough into writing in French, and the Selected Poems represents work in both languages, including the sequence of brief but highly crafted mirlitonnades, which did so much to usher in the style of his late prose, and come as close as anything he wrote to honouring the ambition to 'bore one hole after another in language, until what lurks behind it - be it something or nothing - begins to seep through.' Also included are several of Beckett's translations from contemporaries - Apollinaire, Eluard, Michaux, Montale - in versions which count among his own poetic achievements. It is edited by David Wheatley.

  • Door into the Dark

    Door into the Dark

    Originally published in 1969, Seamus Heaney's Door into the Dark continues a furrow so startlingly opened in his first collection, Death of a Naturalist (1966). With the sensuosness and physicality of language that would become the hallmark of his early writing, these poems graphically depict the author's rural upbringing, from the local forge to the banks of Lough Neagh, concluding in the preserving waters of the bogland and a look ahead to his next book, Wintering Out (1972).
  • The Penelopiad

    The Penelopiad

    Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback.
