Poetry anthologies (various poets)

Book SynopsisOystercatcher Press has published over 50 pamphlets of contemporary poetry in its short existence. It won the inaugural Michael Marks Award 'for outstanding UK publisher of poetry in pamphlet form'. Chair of judges Ian McMillan praised the press for 'taking risks with older and newer writers from outside the perceived centre of British poetry'. This anthology now provides the first opportunity to sample all the poets represented by Oystercatcher Press in one book. It confirms the judgement, made by Ian Brinton in World Literature Today, that Oystercatcher Press offers 'some of the most exciting and vivid poetry available in England today'.

Book SynopsisAt the End of the World: Contemporary Poetry from Bulgaria is an anthology of eighteen Bulgarian poets writing and publishing from the middle of the twentieth century to today. Rather than being a collection of emblematic poems, it is a thematic book which reflects the searching and original, distinctive styles of contemporary Bulgarian poetry, itself reminiscent of the city and landscape.

Book Synopsis'Here, where Time brings pasture to the sea' - the eminent Victorian A.C. Swinburne, from whose long work about the lost city of Dunwich this collection takes its title, was not the first or last poet to be struck by the landscape, and history, of Suffolk. Until almost within living memory Suffolk was a farming-fishing place, not all that far from London, yet strangely remote. Perhaps for this reason its coast was already something of a haven for writers and artists before Benjamin Britten made Aldeburgh the base for his annual music festival. The county's climate appeared to make artists and writers, as did its superb medieval architecture and its huge band of sea. This collection of poems past and modern is powerful testimony of that, all of it both contained and released, created in and, to various extents, by Suffolk. This is a collection of poems that will surprise the reader: Suffolk natives, incomers and visitors are all represented. From older times come Algernon Charles Swinburne, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, Ann Candler, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, George Crabbe, Robert Bloomfield and Bernard Barton. From modern times we have-listed in order of appearance-Andy Brown, Angela Leighton, Tamar Yoseloff, Ronald Blythe, Victor Tapner, Pauline Stainer, John Matthias, Wendy Mulford, Claire Crowther, R.F. Langley, Andrew Brewerton, Rodney Pybus, Charlotte Geater, Zoe Skoulding, Deryn Rees-Jones, Aidan Semmens, Michael Laskey, Herbert Lomas, Anne Beresford, Will Stone, Richard Caddel and Michael Hamburger.

Book SynopsisThe poets featured in this volume are Antonio Gamoneda, Olvido Garcia Valdes, Miguel Casado, Marcos Canteli, Sandra Santana, Benito del Pliego, Julia Piera, Ana Gorria, Pilar Fraile Amador, and Esther Ramon. This anthology charts some of my own enthusiasms; it isn't a comprehensive list. It seems more significant to represent ten substantial writers with a generous selection of poems than thirty or forty writers with one or two poems apiece. The ten poets collected here represent one of many possible configurations of an exploratory surge that signals a moment of change in Spain's literature. (Forrest Gander)

Book SynopsisWalter Benjamin called translation "The Third Language", because a translation is neither the same as the original, nor the same as the normal foreign-language of other texts, for it is something unique, something set apart from either, just as bronze forged from copper and tin overcomes the brittleness of copper and the softness of tin to become both hard and pliable, as if it has become a new element. In this volume, Chinese poets and English-language poets come together to translate each other's work. The Chinese poets involved are: Jiang Tao, Leng Shuang, Tang Xiaodu, Wang Xaoni, Xiao Kaiyu, Xi Chuan, Yan Li, Yang Lian, Yang Xiaobin, Yu Jian, Zang Di, Zhai Yongming, Zhang Wei and Zhou Zan, while the Western representatives are: Nicholas Admussen, Tony Barnstone, Polly Clark, Jennifer Crawford, Antony Dunn, W.N. Herbert, Sean O'Brien, Pascale Petit, Fiona Sampson, Arthur Sze, George Szirtes and Joshua Weiner.

Book SynopsisThe poems translated here were, with one or two possible exceptions, written between the 7th and 12th centuries AD, making them the oldest vernacular poetry in Europe. Latin, which arrived with Christianity in the 5th century and brought a script, was the only other language in play, although there are occasional loanwords from Norse and other tongues. Scholars can roughly assign the poems to centuries, on the basis of changes in syntax and word forms, but many that were written earlier exist only in later manuscripts. Dating is thus hazardous, and nor do we usually know the author. It is likely that one was written by a druid, six by women and rather more by professional bards; the remainder are probably by clerics or scribes.

Book SynopsisDear World & Everyone In It is a ground-breaking new poetry anthology presenting the work of over 60 of the most talented and interesting young poets currently writing in the UK. Chosen by one of the country's leading young poetry editors, inspired by American precedents, and growing out of The Rialto's recent series of young poets features curated by Nathan Hamilton, it is the first British anthology to attempt to define a generation through a properly representative cross-section of work and a fully collaborative editorial process. By drawing on the poets' own recommendations, this anthology represents more effectively and appropriately a new generational mood - hybrid, playful, collaborative, ambitious, inclusive, cooperative. Less top down, more bottom up, it speaks also of other movements in our world, and even ends up challenging parochial notions of Britishness by including overseas poets who live or work here and who have become engaged and influential in the scene. Avoiding older, oppositional attitudes, Nathan Hamilton introduces his anthology with an essay describing 'this new generation's hybridisation of two aptly ironic and business-sounding "strains" in UK poetics - taxonomised as "product" and "process"'. His lively analysis juxtaposes modernist approaches with those exploring more traditional modes, hoping to bring some of the pleasures of the former to a wider audience. Dear World & Everyone In It is an indispensable summary or starting map for anyone wanting to explore and enjoy more of the current UK poetry landscape or seeking to better understand what's going on out there. The poets included are: Rachael Allen, Andrew Bailey, Emily Berry, Ben Borek, Siddhartha Bose, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, James Byrne, Stuart Calton, Tom Chivers, Tim Cockburn, Becky Cremin, Emily Critchley, Joe Crot, Patrick Coyle, Amy De'Ath, Laura Elliott, Stephen Emmerson, Amy Evans, Ollie Evans, S.J.

Book SynopsisIt has often been said that love, both sacred and profane, is the only true subject of the lyric poem. Nothing better justifies this claim than the splendid poems in this volume, which range from the writings of ancient China to those of modern-day America and represent, at its most piercing, a universal experience of the human soul.

Book SynopsisA Fine Line: New Poetry from Eastern and Central EuropeArc Publications Translations Series (parallel-text)A bilingual anthology, with a preface by Václav Havel, published by Arc Publications in association with the UK-based international organisation Literature Across Frontiers, presenting the new poetic talent from ten Eastern and Central European countries.The poets included in the anthology are as follows:Georgi Gospodinov and Nadezhda Radulova (Bulgaria)Petr Borkovec and Katerina Rudcenkova (Czech Republic)Kristiina Ehin and Akso Künnap (Estonia)János Térey and Krisztina Tóth (Hungary)Karlis Verdins and Sergeij Timofeyev (Latvia)Daiva Cepauskaite and Rimvydas Stankevicius (Lithuania)Agnieszka Kuciak and Edward Pasewicz (Poland)Emilian Galaicu-Paun and Ioana Nicolaie (Romania)Katarina Kucbelová and Martin Solotruk (Slovakia)Primoz Cucnik and Taja Kramberger (Slovenia)"This is wonderfully sovereign poetry. These writers were mostly students or even at school when their Communist regimes perished; the war and the post-war Stalinist terror happened to their grandparents. Their poise and their self-possession are startling; they seldom lament and have no interest in preaching. The encounter with Western abundance gives them fresh imagery, but also grounds for amusement and irony.""From their part of Europe, they bring a special joy in the natural and physical world, and also glittering metaphysical brilliance. This is a poetry of wit and complexity, never raw but always glowing with human feeling. As for the translators, it's impossible to praise them too highly. Imaginative, sensitive and yet loyal to the texts, it is they who have delivered this treasure intact to new readers."- Neal Ascherson

Book SynopsisThe story of the Marranos (the Jewish converts to Christianity in Spain and Portugal) has long been a source of fascination for Jews interested in their heritage and for all those concerned with the struggle for freedom of conscience against authoritarianism. In this volume are presented the selected works of three Marrano poets, together with translations into English and explanatory notes. Each of the three poets is introduced with a biography and brief critical assessment. In a general introduction the editor explains the historical and literary background of their works and examines the inter-relationship between the Jewish and Christian cultural elements. Drawing on a wide range of published and manuscript sources, he gives a balanced picture of the Marranos and describes the process of Jewish re-education they had to undergo in order to reach their goal of integration with authentic Judaism in the Jewish communities outside the Iberian peninsula. The three poets—João Pinto Delgado, Antonio Enríquez Gómez, and Miguel de Barrios—are presented against this background as exemplifying three different 'paths to Judaism', which nonetheless have in common the dramatic experience of life under the Inquisition and the halfway house of the Marrano communities. Symbols of exile and insecurity abound. Each poet shares a sense of guilt over his past observance of Christianity and endeavours to reach out towards the authentic sources of the Jewish tradition, such as the Talmud and the rabbinic commentaries, to invest his writings with a greater cultural depth. The poems in this volume have been selected with the aim of giving a representative view of each individual poet's experience and particular literary talents. Through the translations and notes the general reader is provided with insight into their significance and purpose. The specialist reader, too, will gain from finding the writings of three little-known poets of similar background brought together for the first time and set in context.Table of ContentsList of illustrationsAcknowledgementsIntroductionThe Origins of the Marranos Crypto-Jews under the Regime of the Inquisition The Communities outside Spain The Tradition of Language The Literary Tradition of Spain The Jewish Inheritance of the Marranos The Marrano Poets NotesThe Texts and Translations1 João Pinto DelgadoTres poemas autobiograficosA la salida de Lisboa A la despedida de un amigo En alabanza del SenorPoema de la Reina EsterEl sueño y las lástimas de Mardochay La triste consolación de Amán La oración de la reina Ester ConclusiónLamentaciones del profeta JeremíasLamentación 1:1 Lamentación 1:12 Lamentación 1:13 Lamentación 2:6 Lamentación 2:7La historia de RutCanción, aplicando misericordias divinas y defetos proprios a la salida de Egipto hasta la Tierra SantaNotes2 Antonio Enríquez GómezCuando contemplo mi pasada gloriaLa culpa del primer peregrinoDiálogo de Adán y Eva La injusticia en el mundoSansón NazarenoSansón encuentra a la tamateaLa oración y muerte de SansónRomance al divín mártir, Judá Creyente, martirizado en Valladolid por la InquisiciónNotes3 Miguel de BarriosA la muerte de RaquelA la segura confianzaReal consideración del hombreLa memoria renueva el dolor (Sonetos dobles fúnebres)Alabanza jocosa a lay Ley santísima en la fábrica de la sinagogaProvidencia particular de Dios sobre Israel Pregón harmónico del Día del JuicioActo sexto de contriciónActo séptimo de contriciónImperio de Dios en el teatro universal Día primeroNotes

Book SynopsisThis is the first poetry anthology solely devoted to poems written by International Brigade volunteers. Fully illustrated and with extensive notes, the collection conveys the idealism and anguish felt by the men and women who risked their lives to defend democracy against the rise of fascism in Europe.Trade Review'the most moving, inspirational collection of poetry I have read in many years ... What is it about the International Brigaders that makes their memory and the recall of their political humanity so relevant today? Courage, a loyalty to the best within us, a political imagination that thinks with the heart: the list is long. These qualities shine from this collection, which ought to be required reading in every school.' John Pilger 'their story has often been told by historians but the poetry in this volume takes us further, providing a hint of the emotional cost of their commitment to the anti-fascist cause.' Paul Preston 'This moving collection of evocative poetry is a fitting tribute to those who had the bravery and foresight to join the battle against fascism in Spain.'

Book SynopsisIn the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain experienced a literary Renaissance akin to that in England, with great poets, dramatists and novelists establishing new forms and blazing new trails: Garcilaso de la Vega, Gongora, Quevedo amongst the poets, Lope de Vega & Calderon de la Barca amongst the dramatists (although both were also poets), Cervantes - of course - amongst the prose writers. The Renaissance in England was also a time when translations of contemporary European literature became more common, beginning with contemporary Italian works, and the importation of the Petrarchan sonnet, and then Montemayor's Spanish version of arcadian pastoral. While Spanish literature was not the main focus of English translators during this period - no doubt affected by the strained political relations bnetween the two countries - it did attract some particularly fine writers to try their hand. This selection is driven by what is available, but it also manages to cover some of the greatest Spanish writers of the Renaissance and the Siglo de Oro: Juan Boscan, Garcilaso de la Vega, Jorge de Montemayor, Miguel Cervantes (some poems from 'Don Quixote'), Bartolome & his brother Lupercio Leonardo de Argensola, Luis de Gongora, Francsico de Quevedo, Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza and Juan Peerez de Montalban. The translators are Herbert Aston, Philip Ayres, William Drummond of Hawthornden, Sir Richard Fanshawe, Thomas Shelton, Sir Philip Sidney, Thomas Stanley and Bartholomew Yong. The translations are never less than effective and, especially in the case of Fanshawe's Gongora, often show rare genius at work.Table of ContentsBoscan (translated by Thomas Stanley)Garcilaso de la Vega (translated by William Drummond & Philip Ayres)Montemayor (translated by Sir Philip Sidney & Bartholomew Yong)Cervantes (translated by Thomas Shelton)Bartolome Leonardo de Argensola (translated by Sir Richard Fanshawe)Lupercio Leonardo de Argensola (translated by Sir Richard Fanshawe)Gongora (translated by Sir Richard Fanshawe)Quevedo (translated by Philip Ayres)Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza (translated by Sir Richard Fanshawe)Perez de Montalban (translated by Thomas Stanley)plus two unattributed sonnets translated by Fanshawe and a poem by Ayres translated by him into Spanish.

Book SynopsisThe Salt Book of Younger Poets showcases a new generation of British poets born since the mid-80s. Many of these poets embrace new technologies such as blogs, social networking and webzines to meet, mentor, influence and publish their own work and others’. Some poets here were winners of the Foyle young poet awards when at school. Some have published pamphlets in series such as tall-lighthouse Pilot and Faber New Poets. All of them are working away on first collections. This is a chance to encounter the poets who will dominate UK poetry in years to come.Trade ReviewLumsden hosts a supremely eclectic party for 85 "new" British and Irish poets — more women than men, for once — whose newness turns on book-length debuts within the past 15 years rather than calendar age. -- Boyd Tonkin * The Independent *Identity Parade is an anthology which clearly achieves its objective of introducing its audience to a broad-church of today’s talent. -- Phil Brown * Hand + Star *This ambitious anthology offers a rewarding glimpse into the health of current poetry, bringing together 50 poets aged from 18 to 26 who have yet to publish their first full-length collection. It’s a coup for the editors to have found work of such potential. What is immediately striking is the extraordinary range and variety presented here, from the colloquial energy and playfulness of Ashna Sarkar (‘Trawlerman is the most southerly chippie in North Weezy / to do chips with onion gravy’) to Andrew Jamison’s mock-casual meditation on Northern Irish life (‘touching down to a province of ‘politics’ – / we’d call it something else if there was a word for it’), from Oli Hazzard’s deft Ashbery-influenced manoeuvres to Jay Bernard’s compelling ‘11.16’, which bitterly reworks graffiti in a station toilet to evoke Larkin’s famous opening lines: ‘They fuck you up the government / You may not know it but they see / That you’re a mug and so you’ll spend / Nine grand on what they got for free.’ -- Charles Bainbridge * The Guardian *The 10 Best Valentine’s gifts. Poetry is always a winner. This anthology showcases the new crop of young British poets and runs the gamut from lovey-dovey stuff to verses about technology. -- Samuel Muston * The Independent *What is most lovely to see in the Salt anthology is a wide range of well-written experimental poetry. Rachael Allen produces some stunningly controlled prose poems under that heading. Phil Brown plays with an impressive crossword poem, entitled ‘Diptych’. Amy De’Ath writes tongue-tripping poems reminiscent of free association, setting up meaningful sound echoes that work the brain and are pleasant on the ear. Witness this from ‘Poetry for Boys’. At the other end of the scale, poets such as Emily Tesh, Jack Underwood, James Brooks, Ben Wilkinson and Dai George are writing lavish, well-executed and fairly conventional lyrics that seek to communicate directly with the reader. Jack Belloli, too, wants to speak clearly, to be both accurate and resonant with language (‘Yurt’). Sarah Howe is another original. Her poems surprise and hotwire themselves into your brain as you read. -- Jane Holland * Poetry Society *The Salt Book of Younger Poets is both valuable, as an introduction to future big names and an indication of trends in the most contemporary poetry, and enjoyable, as an anthology of intelligent and energetic writing. -- Tess Somervell * Tower Poetry *The writing is assured, erudite and beautifully crafted. It is effortless to read, by which I mean that it is accessible — the poets are too good not to be clear, they do not need to impress by obfuscation and obscurity, but communicate directly, as good writing should, to the intellect, the emotions and the senses.This collection should be an inspiration to older students considering English at degree levels, and also to those who wish to write. The poets here are a demonstration of what is possible, given ‘wide-ranging, hard work and talent’, and an introduction to the ways in which new voices can be heard, not just via the excellent publication cited here, but also through websites on which writers such as these, their ideas and work in progress will be easily accessible. -- Frank Startup * School Librarian *Table of Contents Rachael Allen Daniel Barrow Jack Belloli Jay Bernard James Brookes Phil Brown Niall Campbell Kayo Chingonyi Miranda Cichy John Clegg Nia Davies Amy De’Ath Inua Ellams Charlotte Geater Tom Gilliver Dai George Emily Hasler Oli Hazzard Dan Hitchens Sarah Howe Andrew Jamison Annie Katchinska Andrew McMillan Siofra McSherry Ben Maier Laura Marsh Annabella Massey James Midgley Helen Mort Charlotte Newman Richard O’Brien Richard Osmond Vidyan Ravinthiran Sophie Robinson Charlotte Runcie Ashna Sarkar William Searle Colette Sensier Warsan Shire Lavinia Singer Adham Smart Martha Sprackland Eloise Stonborough Emily Tesh Jack Underwood Ahren Warner Ben Wilkinson Sophie Yeo
