Book SynopsisThis is an amazing book, a major achievement in the field of women's studies.-Renaissance Quarterly, reviewing Women's Writing in Italy, 1400-1650Trade ReviewRichly enjoyable and informative collection of lyric poems... Cox frames the poems with an admirably detailed historical introduction, a guide to technical issues (form, meter, rhythm, rhyme), capsule biographies of the poets, and consistently helpful footnotes. The result is a unique and valuable anthology that will appeal to any reader of Renaissance poetry. Highly recommended. Choice There is no doubt that Virginia Cox's work in the field has had a transformative impact on the study of Renaissance women writers in Italy in recent years. This fascinating anthology positively vibrates with the quality and interest of its contents... -- Abigail Brundin, University of Cambridge Renaissance Quarterly Lyric Poetry by Women of the Italian Renaissance is thus a monumental work in both purpose and design. Not only does it anthologize 211 poems by fifty-five women authors (both familiar and obscure), it presents a corpus of literature that while known to be vast, had no singular entry point for study... In sum, Lyric Poetry is a valuable book for both student and scholar. -- Gerry Milligan Early Modern Women It is impossible to overestimate the role that Virginia Cox has played in bringing to light, researching, and promoting awareness of and appreciation for writings by women in early modern Italy... Cox's tireless work and elegant, timely writing continue to expand our horizon and field of enquiry. -- Maria Galli Stampino Modern Language Review An invaluable anthology. -- Bryan Brazeau Year's Work in Modern Language Studies A rich source for those interested in early modern women's lyric in Italy. Particularly impressive is the overview of the field in the detailed introduction... The text could well serve the novice interested in an overview of the period and also the more experienced reader by providing access to lesser-known writers and texts. -- Veena Carlson Sixteenth Century JournalTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionPart I: Amorous VerseIn VitaIn morteVentriloquized Love PoetryPart II: Religious VersePart III: Correspondence VersePart IV: Encomia of Rulers and PatronsPart V: Political Verse Part VI: Polemical and Manifesto VersePart VII: Verse of Friendship and Family LoveIn VitaIn mortePart VIII: Other in morte VersePart IX: Verse of Place and SelfhoodPart X: Comic and Dialect VerseNotes on AuthorsAppendixesA.

But I didn’t sing, really. To say I sang sounds too pleasant. I wailed, I roared. I screamed into the air that I was punching, as if fighting with an invisible presence. One that I had known all my life but never really understood. My mother, my grandmother and my ancestors all know of this presence. And like me, they have lived their lives fighting and finding solace in the pursuit of emancipation from it.” – Tshepiso Modupe, Student on the cover of the book

Book SynopsisPoetry in Pre-Raphaelite Paintings is an international collection of essays written by seasoned and emerging scholars. This book explores, discusses, and provides new perspectives on Pre-Raphaelite paintings inspired by poems and poems inspired by Pre-Raphaelite paintings, ranging from the inauguration of the movement in 1848 until the end of the nineteenth century. Through a textual and visual journey, this work reflects an innovative approach to Pre-Raphaelite art and Victorian poetry. The rationale in collating this collection of essays is to suggest new approaches for studies in Victorian visual and verbal art. This collection urges new ways of looking at Pre-Raphaelite art and poetry and its dynamic impact on the changing face of Victorian artistic practices through the second half of the nineteenth century, re-evaluating the extent to which this relatively short-lived movement influenced diverse writers and artists and their work. This book will be of interest to studTrade Review“These essays provide rich, multi-layered portals into the hearts and minds of Pre- Raphaelite artists, while disrupting conventional interpretations of space, identity and gender. They advance nuanced discourse across disciplines, outlining the integration between poetry of the period, Pre-Raphaelite poetry in particular, and the visual art produced through that integration. «Poetry in Pre-Raphaelite Paintings» is not only important for ongoing academic research on the subjects, but it is unique for the ways it can prompt practicing arts professionals (including museums), to engage viewers in a total phenomenological and sensory experience in front of the physical work of art. The essays challenge us to consider gender and identity politics in the interior and exterior spaces of mind and canvas, while contemplating the lush brushstrokes and written lines of these memorable Victorian masterpieces.” Rita R. Wright, Director, Springville Museum“This thought-provoking collection of essays explores the intersection of Pre-Raphaelite painting and poetry and reimagines a poetics of the visual. By destabilizing the categories of verbal and visual representation and bringing together familiar and unfamiliar poems and paintings, the authors model new and exciting ways of thinking about gender, musicality, photography, the temporal-spatial divide, the use of the voice, morality, sexuality, social implications, and aestheticism as they are conveyed through word and image by the Pre-Raphaelites.” Constance M. Fulmer, Blanche E. Seaver Chair of English Literature, Pepperdine University, Malibu, California“This international collection not only reconsiders how painting and poetry enrich each other, but also extends the nature of ekphrasis itself beyond its traditional boundaries, as a method of expressing gendered spatial relations, as an extension of the artist’s own self, as a mode capable equally of releasing a subject into view as it is of representing an object. Of particular note are the essays enabling us to see how the sister-arts reveal what is interior, reminding us that a poem is as much introspection as it is a visual event. It is a collection in which an artist’s experiments are reframed as stylistic innovations, biographical interpretation is replaced with arguments about intertextual framework, and the voiceless receive both faces and voices. Reading these essays produces, as one author suggests, a ‘violent delight,’ asking us to consider what questions we have not been asking and which we need to ask now.” Bryn Gribben, Seattle UniversityTable of ContentsPlates – Notes on Contributors – Acknowledgments – Sophia Andres/Brian Donnelly: Pre-Raphaelite Poetic Paintings: Transcending Spatial and Temporal Boundaries – Serena Trowbridge: Gender and Space in Pre-Raphaelite Paintings of "The Eve of St Agnes" – Divya Athmanathan: "Good pictures … are always another poem": Mapping Spatialities in Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s "The Lady of Shalott" and Elizabeth Siddal’s The Lady of Shalott – Dante Alighieri’s Dreams in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Paintings – Laurence Roussillon-Constanty: "A Dramatis Personae of the Soul": Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Proserpine – Martina John: " Portrait of the Artist as an Italian Poet: Rossetti’s Dante – Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Poems in Paintings: Photography, Realism and Painting – Enrique Olivares: Interpretation and Representation in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s "Sonnets for Pictures" – Daniel Brown: "They that would look on her": Jane Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and "The Portrait" – Modernity’s Kaleidoscopic Views – Amelia Yeates: Poetic Narrative in William Morris’s and Edward Burne- Jones’s Pygmalion Project – Sarah Banschbach Valles: Aestheticism and Violent Delight in the Sister Arts of A.

Book SynopsisSurrealist Poetry presents new English translations of nearly 150 poems alongside their original French and Spanish versions.Founded by André Breton in 1924, Surrealism sought to examine the unconscious realm by means of the written or spoken word. Seeking to expand the ability of language to evoke irrational states and improbable events, it consistently strove to transcend the linguistic status quo. By stretching language to its limits and beyond, the Surrealists transformed it into an instrument for exploring the human psyche. The twenty-three poets in this collection come not only from France, where Surrealism was invented, but also from Spain, Belgium, Martinique, Mauritius, Catalonia, Mexico, Chile, and Peru. Three of them were awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature (Vicente Aleixandre, Pablo Neruda, and Octavio Paz). Equipped with a critical introduction and a brief bibliography, this anthology will appeal to anyone interested in modern literature.Trade ReviewThis wide-ranging collection of poetry is outstanding in its ambition and achievements. Encompassing the work of twenty-three Surrealist poets across the Surrealist epicentre in France, to Spain, the Francophone world and Latin America, the beautifully presented side-by-side translation of poems allows for a holistic view of the vast breadth of Surrealist poetic enquiry ... [Bohn's] choice of a relatively small number of poets allows for an appreciation of a larger selection of each writer’s works: his admittedly streamlined approach, purposely devoid of any overbearing critical apparatus, allows the poems and poets to speak for themselves. This inclusive and even-handed approach will undoubtedly prove very useful to scholars of the twentieth century across disciplines. * Forum for Modern Language Studies *Willard Bohn’s well-researched, carefully chosen, and deftly translated selection of poems by many of the key names in French- and Spanish-speaking Surrealism has done the movement a great service ... [It] deals with both French and Spanish examples with bravery, skill, sensitivity, and aplomb. * Translation and Literature *Willard Bohn's Surrealist Poetry is a venture full of courage: that of a single translator interpreting French and Spanish poems of the Surrealist persuasion. He has done it—thanks be—with a sufficiently ample selection from each of the poets chosen to represent their highly individual takes on the marvelous junction of the real and unreal. Never are the selections uninteresting or flat: they are faithful to Surrealism itself. * Mary Ann Caws, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature, English, and French, Graduate School of the City University of New York, USA, and editor of The Yale Anthology of Twentieth-Century French Poetry and Surrealist Love Poems *This bilingual anthology is a considerable achievement and an excellent complement to Bohn’s The Dada Market: An Anthology of Poetry (1983) and Reading Visual Poetry (2011). Many readers will be indebted to him for his translations of a wide selection of poems in French and Spanish written by poets both famous and unfamiliar. This anthology fills a large gap as it demonstrates the potency of the Surrealist ambition to liberate the imagination and with it poetic language. * C.

Book SynopsisBlack Rainbow is the powerful first-person story of one woman''s struggle with depression and how she managed to recover from it through the power of poetry.In 1997, Oxford graduate, working mother and Times journalist Rachel Kelly went from feeling mildly anxious to being completely unable to function within the space of just three days. Prescribed antidepressants by her doctor, and supported by her husband and her family, Rachel slowly began to get better, but her anxiety levels remained high, and six years later, as a stay-at-home mother, she suffered a second collapse even worse than the first.Throughout both of Rachel''s periods of severe depression, the healing power of poetry became an integral part of her recovery. As someone who had always loved poetry, it became something for RachTrade ReviewIt's a book we should all read, especially women, and especially those of us who have, like me, had their own struggles with what Winston Churchill (another sufferer) called the Black Dog... Women, especially those with new babies, exhausted from pregnancy, sleepless nights and the sheer shock of motherhood, are often consumed with fear bordering on terror. That's what depression is, and if it applies to you or your daughter, take heart. Help is available. And it will help to read Rachel Kelly's Black Rainbow -- Judy Finnigan * Daily Mail *The memoir has the gripping immediacy of a novel and taught me much about depression that perhaps I should have known, but didn't. Its advice on diet, exercise, supplements and getting help will be invaluable for anyone who finds themselves barked at by the black dog. -- Bel Mooney * Daily Mail *

Book SynopsisFrom Amy Schumer to Frances McDormand, women are talking about both the private and public indignities of age, but until now there''s been no go-to book for women seeking irreverent, smart, funny guidance and companionship through experience.Readers who loved The Hell with Love will buy this book, seeking inspiration that''s honest, wise, and accessible, fun but never dumbed down. With HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Mary and Elizabeth are targeting women drawn to Amy Schumer''s brilliant feminism, Lena Dunham''s unapologetic frankness, and Lily Tomlin''s deadpan cool. They are marketing an attitude towards aging, a female point of view that celebrates the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler/Melissa McCarthy approach. The book faces aging head-on, with smarts, irony and humor.

Book Synopsis''We knew that black and brown bodies, working class voices, women''s voices, did not have a space where they could be heard - and so this writing collective was a necessary and political act''In the early years of the new millennium, poets Malika Booker and Roger Robinson saw the need for a space for writers outside of the establishment to grow, improve, discuss and learn. One Friday night, Malika offered her Brixton kitchen table as a meeting place. And so Malika''s Poetry Kitchen was born.''Kitchen'', as it became known, has ushered in a new generation of voices, launching some of the most exciting writers, books and initiatives in British poetry in the past twenty years. Today, Kitchen is a thriving writers'' collective, with a wealth of talented poets and branches in Chicago and India.Too Young, Too Loud, Too Different is a celebration of Kitchen''s legacy, an appreciation of its foundational spirit and a rallying cry for all writers to dreTrade ReviewThis magnificent book is a celebration of community, collectivism, reading, rereading, learning, talking, thinking, drafting and redrafting. Above all it's a song of praise to the power of poetry to remind us who we are and who we can become -- Ian McMillanA critical and urgent moment . . . Malika's Kitchen is as much a gift to poets of colour in the UK as it is a gift to British poetry . . . this anthology is a loud proclamation of the aesthetic value of embracing difference -- Kwame DawesLike the best kitchens, Malika's fills and satisfies with a mixture of the raw and the sizzling. The tastes are new, the fusion is fun and the heat is transformative -- Samuel WestFor two decades now, British poetry has been flavoured by the products of Malika's Kitchen. Without that Kitchen we would have been blander; we would not have understood as deeply, how much craft and urgency and ambition belong in the same pot. Gather now at this most important table. Sit. Feast. -- Kei Miller
