Against the Evidence: Selected Poems, 1934-1994 (Wesleyan Poetry)
$16.95
It is difficult to articulate the beauty of David Ignatow's poetry. Readers that find themselves running between the romanticisism and stark realism at a steady pace will find themselves quite at home in Ignatow's stark, moving style. For my part, Ignatow quickly became a favorite of mine, utterly altering my perspective on the possible success of modern poetry. This is his finest compilation.

Description:
Three recombinant soybean cysteine proteinase inhibitors (rSCPIs), L1, R1 and N2, were assessed for their potential to inhibit the growth and development of three major agricultural crop pests known to utilize digestive cysteine proteinases: Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, WCR), Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, CPB) and cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus, CW). In vitro experiments showed that cysteine proteinase activities in the crude gut extracts of the WCR, CPB, and CW were inhibited to various degrees by the three rSCPIs. Of the three rSCPIs tested, N2 was most effective in inhibiting the crude gut extract of WCR, CPB, and CW (50% inhibition at 5x10^-^8, 5x10^-^8, and 3x10^-^7 M, respectively). The L1 was the least potent of the three CPIs tested, with 50% inhibition at 5x10^-^6 M of the crude gut extracts of WCR. Results of in vivo experiments conducted to assess the effect of the three rSCPIs on the vital growth parameters of WCR, CPB and CW were consistent with results of the in vitro experiments.

Against the Forgetting: Selected Poems
$16.95
A stunning selection of poems from the great twentieth-century Dutch poet. Against the Forgetting presents the work of an important twentieth-century Dutch poet, Hans Faverey. The first extensive selection of his poetry in English, this collection brings together poems from his eight published volumes of poetry spanning the years 1968 to 1990?the last volume, Default, he received only two days before his death. In addition, a selection of poems from a posthumous collection, Spring Foxes, first published in Holland in 2000, is also included. The translator Francis Jones writes, "Hans Faverey left behind a poetic structure of uniquely subtle richness and beauty, made from so little?a few words, surrounded by silence." Filled with a precision and arresting musicality comparable to the hermetic poems of Celan and Bronk, and as mysterious as the writings of Heraclitus and the German mystic Meister Eckhart, Faverey's poems, like Lichtenberg's lightning frozen in time, lash out, splintering systems and syntax?enlightening.
