"Experimental poetry responded to historical change in the decades after World War II with an attitude of such casual and reckless originality that its insights have often been overlooked. And yet, Benjamin Lee argues, to ignore the scenes of self and the historical occasions captured by experimental poets of the 1950s and 1960s is to overlook a rich and instructive resource for our own complicated transition into the twenty-first century. In Poetics of Emergence, Lee shows that poets like Frank O'Hara, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, Diane di Prima, and Allen Ginsberg offer perceptive responses to Cold War culture: lyric meditations on consequential changes in U.S. social life and politics, including the decline of the Old Left, the rise of white-collar work, and the emergence of vernacular practices like hipsterism and camp. At the same time, they offer us opportunities to anatomize our own desire for historical significance and belonging, a desire we may well see reflected and then reconfigured in their poems"--

"An essential resource for sound exegesis of biblical poetry. While previous books on parallelism have focused almost exclusively on semantic classification, in his new book David Toshio Tsumura focuses on the grammatical and phonetic aspects as well. In particular, he defines and illustrates the vertical grammatical relationship between parallel lines. Readers will master how to read Biblical Hebrew poetry effectively by focusing on the basic linguistic features of word order, parallelistic structure, and rhetorical devices. For the benefit of nonspecialists, all Hebrew poems are given in accessible transliteration. This book is an indispensable companion to the Hebrew Bible for both beginners and experienced scholars."

Under the Weather explores the relationship between human mobility and severe weather exacerbated by the climate emergency. Offering an ecological approach to mobilities, Sodero argues that mobility can be reimagined to work with, rather than against, the climate in ways that also benefit the health, education, and economy of communities.

"A groundbreaking new history of the shared legacy of expulsion among Jews and Christian moneylenders in late medieval Europe Beginning in the twelfth century, Jewish moneylenders increasingly found themselves in the crosshairs of European authorities, who denounced the evils of usury as they expelled Jews from their lands. Yet Jews were not alone in supplying coin and credit to needy borrowers. Across much of Western Europe, foreign Christians likewise engaged in professional moneylending, and they too faced repeated threats of expulsion from the communities in which they settled. No Return examines how mass expulsion became a pervasive feature of European law and politics-with tragic consequences that have reverberated down to th e present. Drawing on unpublished archival evidence ranging from fiscal ledgers and legal opinions to sermons and student notebooks, Rowan Dorin traces how an association between usury and expulsion entrenched itself in Latin Christendom from the twelfth century onward. Showing how ideas and practices of expulsion were imitated and repurposed in different contexts, he offers a provocative reconsideration of the dynamics of persecution in late medieval society. Uncovering the protean and contagious nature of expulsion, No Return is a panoramic work of history that offers new perspectives on Jewish-Christian relations, the circulation of norms and ideas in the age before print, and the intersection of law, religion, and economic life in premodern Europe"-- "Beginning in the twelfth century, Jewish moneylenders increasingly found themselves in the crosshairs of European authorities, who denounced the evils of usury as they expelled Jews from their lands.
