A Boston Globe Best Poetry Book of 2011 Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry

An intimate collection from one of America's most important poets

The latest collection from one of our preeminent poets, The Chameleon Couch is also one of Yusef Komunyakaa's most personal to date. As in his breakthrough work, Copacetic, Komunyakaa writes again of music as muse--from a blues club in the East Village to the shakuhachi of Basho. Beginning with Canticle, this varied new collection often returns to the idea of poem as hymn, ethereal and haunting, as Komunyakaa reveals glimpses of memory, myth, and violence. With contemplations that spring up along walks or memories conjured by the rhythms of New York, Komunyakaa pays tribute more than ever before to those who came before him.

The book moves seamlessly across cultural and historical boundaries, evoking Komunyakaa's capacity for cultural excavation, through artifact and place. The Chameleon Couch begins in and never fully leaves the present--an urban modernity framed, brilliantly, in pastoral-minded verse. The poems seek the cracks beneath the landscape, whether New York or Ghana or Poland, finding in each elements of wisdom or unexpected beauty. The collection is sensually, beautifully relaxed in rhetoric; in poems like Cape Coast Castle, Komunyakaa reminds us of his gift for combining the personal with the universal, one moment addressing a lover, the next moving the focus outward, until both poet and reader are implicated in the book's startling world.

Practical, gentle, and worth the price
Color: Pink
I’m really happy with this product. It’s small, lightweight, and very easy to use, which makes it perfect for quick touch-ups. It works well on the bikini area without causing irritation, which was something I was a bit worried about at first. The blades seem gentle on the skin but still get the job done effectively. The design is comfortable to hold and gives good control while using it. I also like that it’s discreet and easy to store or carry if needed. The battery life is decent for the size, and I haven’t had any issues so far. Overall, for the price, it’s definitely worth it. If you’re looking for something simple, convenient, and effective, I would recommend giving it a try.

Great trimmer, easy to use and no irritation
Color: Pink
I bought this 3-in-1 electric trimmer for personal use, and I’m honestly very impressed. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and very comfortable to use. What I love the most is that it doesn’t irritate the skin, which is very important, especially for sensitive areas. It comes with multiple attachments, making it very versatile. I’ve used it for the bikini area, underarms, and quick touch-ups, and it works great on all of them. It’s also waterproof, so you can safely use it in the shower, which makes it even more convenient. The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges via USB, which is perfect for travel. It’s also pretty quiet compared to other trimmers.
