Brilliant, lyrical, and passionate, this collection from the acclaimed poet M. NourbeSe Philip is an extended jazz riff running along the themes of language, racism, colonialism, and exile. In this groundbreaking collection, Philip defiantly challenges and resoundingly overthrows the silencing of black women through appropriation of language, offering no less than superb poetry resonant with beauty and strength. She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks was originally published in 1989 and won the Casa de Las Americas Prize. This new Wesleyan edition includes a foreword by Evie Shockley. An online reader’s companion will be available at http://nourbesephilip.site.wesleyan.edu.

The Mystery Of A Twin Flame Reunion: Destiny – Love – Trust
We live in a time, where more and more Twin Flames find their once lost other half. On their highest possible level of development they are ready to give the world back what they achieve together.
Isis and Osiris are not only Twin Souls, but also poets. Long and challenging have been their ways, separated by distance and time. Yet the impossible happened: they found each other. Together, they tell their fascinating story in the beautiful language of poetry, forged out of mutual respect and unconditional love.
Although the poems were made uniquely for each other – they shall be shared to give other Twin Flames hope and confidence. The poems in this book are witnesses of a deep Twin Flame reunion, combined with pictures of a long gone, but not forgotten time of the Pre-Raphaelite painters.
Isis and Osiris show that it is possible to overcome all the obstacles arising along the way. The most important thing is to never give up. They have grown with each other: united in respect and love, even though they live in different parts of the world.

In a sequence of poems in the dramatic monologue style, Charles Rammelkamp’s Catastroika covers a century of Russian history from the late Nineteenth to the late Twentieth, in the voices of a fictional Russian Jew, Alexander Federmesser (Sasha) and Maria Rasputin, the sole surviving daughter of the “mad monk,” Grigory Rasputin, the infamous spiritual advisor of the Romanovs, the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas, and his wife, Alexandra. Focusing on Grigory Rasputin largely through the eyes of his daughter, we read about the social turmoil in Russia that led to the Bolshevik Revolution, the war between the Red Russians and the White Russians, the excesses and cruelties of the Communist Party. We also learn, through Sasha’s words, about the Anti-Semitism that pervades the whole era.
Both Maria and Sasha escape Russia and come to America. Sasha settles in Baltimore, where he meets his future wife, Riva, and makes a family and a life while always reliving the terrors of his early years. Maria dances in cabaret shows in Europe before becoming an animal trainer with the circus and later, after being mauled by a bear, a “Rosie the Riveter” for the United States during World War Two.
We follow both Maria and Sasha throughout their lives. Larger than life characters like Harry Houdini and Vladimir Nabokov make cameo appearances. While Maria dies in California in 1977, Sasha, an old man by then, survives through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In so many ways, the sweep of Russian history mirrors his own life, and of course Maria’s, and though murdered in 1916, Rasputin himself, his reputation, likewise undergoes change, like the city of Saint Petersburg itself, where so much of the drama in Catastroika takes place.
