Swimming Through Fire
Poems by Seth Michelson. A Tom Lombardo Poetry Selection.
Eyes Like Broken Windows
Seth Michelson's debut full-length collection of poetry, Eyes Like Broken Windows, comprises poems of struggle. But this is also a collection of great power and language. There is shattered beauty everywhere. It is a collection in which tumors become roses, in which traffic accident victims gasp saintly visages like some 14th Century Giotto, in which a woman cures the infirm with her hands like a modern day Christ. It is a collection where death begets life, where the parasitic fig tree eventually strangles its host "in parched darkness," but in the end "will have itself become a host / to an orchestra of new creatures: / green parrots, toucans, fruit bats and silver monkeys." Michelson's family ties to Argentina, his time lived there, and his award-winning translations of its poetry have deeply informed the crown of sonnets around which this collection revolves.
Translating Home in the Global South
This collection explores the relationships between acts of translation and the movement of peoples across linguistic, cultural, and physical borders, centering the voices of migrant writers and translators in literatures and language cultures of the Global South. To offer a counterpoint to existing scholarship, this book examines translation practices as forms of both home-building and un-homing for communities in migration. Drawing on scholarship from translation studies as well as eco-criticism, decolonial thought, and gender studies, the book’s three parts critically reflect on different dimensions of the intersection of translation and migration in a diverse range of literary genres an...
The Fist Which Opens
In earlier medical systems, long communication with the patient and his family were in practice. The Vedic books also show that poetic communication is a way to understand the cause of disease. In modern times medical treatment is heavily dependent on machines to diagnose a disease. Even though it takes care of the clinical part of the treatment it overlooks the psychological aspect of a patient. Often it fails. This is why we need a support system in the healing process to make it more holistic. Poetry Therapy can be one among many.
House in a Hurricane
Seth Michelson's House in a Hurricane weaves, out of despair, loneliness, the ordinary and sometimes the ugly, things of beauty, joy and worth. I ran the gamut of emotions as I read this book - in one sitting, by the way. It's a written work of art, and isn't that what art does? Makes us feel? To paraphrase a line from one of Seth's poems, I fell a million ways in love with this book. --Lucy Spinetti.

Hope on the Border
A powerful work of narrative nonfiction that humanizes the immigration crisis in the United States through the lens of undocumented, unaccompanied minors and the teacher who provides hope through poetry. With unprecedented access, poet Seth Michelson takes readers inside the most restrictive maximum security detention center in the United States, where undocumented, unaccompanied youth are held in isolation. As the reader meets several children who are part of the author’s poetry workshop, we hear from the children in their own words, and learn the harsh reality of the lived experiences of migrating people who are trying to escape violence and poverty in their home countries. Their pasts, ...
