Based on extensive research, this authoritative study places Bukowski's poetry in its American cultural context, and explores the key poems and collections in his development. It traces magazines, literary contacts and influences from the mid-1940s to The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992). and Walt Whitman? About how and why Bukowski formed his unique reading style and public image? And about where he fits into West Coast and post war American verse? Although the book takes into account the best of the American and European commentary that currently exists, it also offers an original and intriguingly British point of view, giving special attention to Bukowski's readings during the 1970s and his influence upon the current generation of West Coast Poets.

This book will expose how demons operate, how they gain access to our lives, and how we can defeat them.

This volume collects chapters that examine representation theory as connected with affine Lie algebras and their quantum analogues, in celebration of the impact Vyjayanthi Chari has had on this area. The opening chapters are based on mini-courses given at the conference “Interactions of Quantum Affine Algebras with Cluster Algebras, Current Algebras and Categorification”, held on the occasion of Chari’s 60th birthday at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., June 2018. The chapters that follow present a broad view of the area, featuring surveys, original research, and an overview of Vyjayanthi Chari’s significant contributions. Written by distinguished experts in representation theory, a range of topics are covered, including: String diagrams and categorification Quantum affine algebras and cluster algebras Steinberg groups for Jordan pairs Dynamical quantum determinants and Pfaffians Interactions of Quantum Affine Algebras with Cluster Algebras, Current Algebras and Categorification will be an ideal resource for researchers in the fields of representation theory and mathematical physics.

Hello I Must Be Going, David Hernandez's fifth collection of poems, offers a unique take on poetry informed by works of art. With narrative and lyrical brushstrokes, Hernandez crafts vibrant landscapes that depict the chaos of the modern world and the beauty entwined within it.

"Ultimately, the lyrics in "Hoodwinked" read as odes to mortality. They marvel nonstop, unsentimentally, and with necessary ambivalence, at the world as given and the human inability to consistently rise to the exhausting challenge of making every second count. These poems constantly acknowledge that 'all flesh is grass.' They make us hear the wondrous, terrifying hum of impending obliteration, while at the same time never growing immune to beauty, never ceasing to be curious about what the grass itself makes of our common temporal conundrum."
--Amy Gerstler, from the introduction
Inherent untrustworthiness--of received opinion, the trompe l'oeil deceptions of nature, and the workings of our own unfaithful minds--is given its proper menace in David Hernandez' "Hoodwinked." In poems that range from the backyard to Iraq and back again, Hernandez disturbs the surface of contemporary life to reveal barely submerged worlds that, impossible to fathom, make fools of us all.

David Hernandez's Dear, Sincerely is his most intimate and dynamic collection to date, bringing the reader into poems that are simultaneously personal and universal, and sometimes political. With his characteristic dreamlike imagery, inventive rhythms, and biting wit, Hernandez's voice reaches toward us with an accessible profundity. Dear, Sincerely is an imaginative book that explores the Self, the collective We, the cosmos, and the murky division that separates one from the other.

Me gusta escribir. Desde nino, era mi pasatiempo preferido. Mientras los mas jovenes salian a caminar, despues de laborar en la finca todo el dia, me acogia a un lugar tranquilo en la casona y empezaba a escribir. Solo escribia, no sabia por que, pero escribia. Estuve tres anos escribiendo una novela, la titule, La Farza del Tirano. No se el porque del titulo. Hace un tiempo ya en mi edad madura, bastante madura; empece a reescribirla, aun esta por terminarla pero la cantidad de errores, tanto de ortografia, como de sintaxis, no me han permitido terminarla. No se porque la escribi, insisto que debio ser porque le cogi miedo a la obscuridad. Los caminos eran largos para salir de la finca. Se decian muchos cuentos de miedo; que salia alguien al camino que le mirara los pies; si no los veia, era un muerto aparecido; que si alguien arrastraba cadenas en la noche, eran muertos en faena. Me acuerdo de los cuentos de nuestros viejos, y me salia un frio por la espalda, que me erizaba los pelos de todo el cuerpo. De manera, que a esto quizas se debia a que me diera por escribir y esto ha sido durante mi vida un enorme descanso de la trajina diaria. Asi que estos cuentos, o narraciones son productos de mi pluma en tiempo de descanso, de los momentos de descanso emocional en que he vivido en una vida agitada por mi propio interes. No porque me haya escondido de mirar los problemas y las tensiones que se viven hoy. De manera que desde el cuento o escrito de Los Veinticuatro hasta el fantasma de la 446, son extracciones casi sacada de las experiencias de vida, que han forjado una vida agradecida al Creador y completamente feliz de mi propia existencia. De ahi es que surgen estos relatos, tratados de hacerlos como cuentos, para que puedan ser leidos por aquellos que engrandecen su tiempo de solas y descanso. Por eso digo que la vida es interesante. Quien la ha vivido a plenitud, puede cerciorarse de ello. Los nombres son ficticios, pero no asi las vivencias. En el siglo pasado fueron una realidad social que hoy anoramos todos.
