Seller's Description:
Very good. [12], iii, [1], 73, [3] pages. Author's biography. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads 20 September 2021 For my dear friend Joseph with admiration and gratitude. God bless you! Philip. Kolin was born in Chicago and earned his BA at Chicago State University. He earned his his doctoral degree from Northwestern University. Kolin served as professor of English at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg for 41 years. He is now professor emeritus. In 2010 he was awarded Distinguished Professor in the College of Arts and Letters. Kolin also serves on the advisory board of the Natchez Literary and Cinema Celebration. He has published more than forty books, including eight collections of poetry. Many of Kolin's poems, influenced by his Roman Catholicism, explore the Gulf South as well as focus on civil rights, especially the murder of Emmett Till. He has also published a widely-used business writing textbook, Successful Writing at Work. He is an authority on the life and plays of Tennessee Williams. He is an editor for The Southern Quarterly and a general editor for the Routledge Shakespeare Criticism series. His most recent books of poems include Americorona: Poems About The Pandemic (2021), Pilsen Snow: Poems (a chapbook published in 2015 by Finishing Line Press), Down to the Dark River: Poems about the Mississippi (2015), co-edited with Jack Bedell for Louisiana Literature Press, and Departures (2014). His most recent book, commemorating the 60th anniversary of Emmett Till's death, is entitled Emmett Till in Different States: Poems (2015)). This may be the earliest post-Pandemic collection of COVID-19 related verse, integrated with past historical plagues, by a major American poet. Here, once again, we can find in the mind and creativity of the poet, concepts, values, lessons, and emotions meaningful to the reader and--we believe--to the broader society. The poems in Americorona track the history of COVID-19 in the US from late 2019 to early 2021-how the pandemic affects America medically, economically, spiritually, and psychologically. There are three types of poems in seven sections in Americorona. Leading each section are poems about other historical pandemics (cholera, Black Death, polio, Irish Potato Famine, Pharaoh's plagues, etc. ) that foreshadow or parallel the tragic events ushered in by COVID-19. The majority of poems, however, are about COVID-19 tragedies-how the pandemic started, how it impacts children and minorities, how it resulted in hunger and increased discrimination, how it brings out naysayers, how the medical community is dealing with the pandemic. Interspersed among COVID-19 and historical poems are experimental ones on such topics as the "memory of breathing" or the "exhaustion of monotony" during the pandemic.
