Poetry. Chosen for The Montserrat Review's Best Picks for Poetry 2005, GAGARIN STREET offers an edgy and disquieting meditation on the intersection of private and public history. "From the title poem of Piotr Gwiazda's impressive debut collection, a recurring theme announces itself: altered history and the poet's qualified attempts at recognition, if not full reclamation"--Gaylord Brewer. "These poems remind us how easily the Gagarin Streets of our youth may disappear, and of the poet's vital task to re-inscribe them for the future's fellow travelers"--Mark Nowak. Piotr Gwiazda teaches modern and contemporary poetry at University of Maryland Baltimore County.

The author, Piotr Gwiazda, comments in the interview contained in this book on the title Messages: "The first association will be - perhaps inevitably - with the phone, email, and text messages we send and receive on a daily basis. Also the messages that "pour out of various devices" (as in Muriel Rukeyser's poem): news stories, speeches, alerts, warning labels, traffic and weather reports, TV and radio commercials, those targeted ads on Google and Facebook. Communications overload - but with a touch of magic to it. Again, we are both consumers and producers of messages: we post, we blog, we update, we upload. But I was also thinking about the broader connotations of the word. After all, messages can be exchanged in the course of a simple conversation."

This book provides a detailed study of nonlinear partial differential equations satisfying certain nonstandard growth conditions which simultaneously extend polynomial, inhomogeneous and fully anisotropic growth. The common property of the many different kinds of equations considered is that the growth conditions of the highest order operators lead to a formulation of the equations in Musielak-Orlicz spaces. This high level of generality, understood as full anisotropy and inhomogeneity, requires new proof concepts and a generalization of the formalism, calling for an extended functional analytic framework. This theory is established in the first part of the book, which serves as an introduction to the subject, but is also an important ingredient of the whole story. The second part uses these theoretical tools for various types of PDEs, including abstract and parabolic equations but also PDEs arising from fluid and solid mechanics. For connoisseurs, there is a short chapter on homogenization of elliptic PDEs. The book will be of interest to researchers working in PDEs and in functional analysis.
