UEA Publishing Project Literary Translation & Poetry: UEA MA Anthologies

This hybrid collection takes us across the globe, showcasing an impressive range of poetry and translated literature, examining places and sensations that are often as familiar as they are strange. In Venice, a woman realises that she is merely “The Photographer’s Girlfriend,” while in Chile, young love is quietly eroded by social and economic realities. Meanwhile, a Ugandan poet explores her family heritage, and the wisdom of Hermann Hesse is passed on in a new translation.

Out-Spoken Press A Greek Verse for Ophelia and Other Poems:
Book SynopsisA Greek Verse for Ophelia and Other Poems contains one hundred poems taken from renowned Colombian poet Giovanni Quessep’s entire oeuvre, including his last published book of poetry, Abyss Unveiled. The poems contained have been selected by his translators Felipe Botero Quintana, Ranald Barnico and the poet himself to launch the introduction of both the magnificent and exuberant world of his art to English-speaking readers of poetry. This collection is designed to provide its reader with an insight into the wealth and complexity of Colombia’s culture, a country whose history of violence and political corruption has often been over-simplified by the international media, including film and television industries. In the work of one of its finest artists, the English-speaking public will have the opportunity to observe the fine threads that make up Colombian reality through the prism of marvel and incantation evoked by Quessep’s poetry.

Meridian Czernowitz The life of Mary: 2015
Book SynopsisThe easiest thing to do in times of war is to hate others. The hardest thing is to reach an understanding. Even with your own people. But we must try, otherwise the war will never end. And to reach an understanding, you need to talk. With anyone, in any way and about anything. The main thing is not to lose humanity, that is, love and attention.

Oxford University Press Loyolas Bees
Book SynopsisFrom the Renaissance well into the eighteenth century hundreds of Latin poems, some running to tens of thousands of verses, were produced on subjects as multifarious as they were topical: meteorology and magnetism, raising chickens and children, the arts of sculpture and engraving, writing and conversation, the social and medicinal benefits of coffee and chocolate, the pious life and the urbane life. Loyola''s Bees is the first full-length study of the Latin didactic poetry of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic Reformation order whose priests were the leading exponents of the genre in the early modern period. If post-Romantic readers have, in the main, lost the taste for a ''poetry of things'', the poems in this book will command scholarly attention at least for what they reveal about early modern social, cultural, and intellectual life, Jesuit attitudes to the New World and the New Science, and the circulation of Latin literature in France and Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth cenTrade ReviewWhat is especially valuable to non-classicists ... is Haskell's ability to explicate the innumerable quotations, imitations, and allusions that interlace the genre. * Steven Harris, Early Science and Medicine *An erudite, enlightening, and unique study of a body of literature historians of science have hitherto largely neglected. * Steven Harris, Early Science and Medicine *Professor Haskell's book is as valuable a contribution to history of early modern science as it is to her home field of neo-classical literature...Her characterization of [Jesuit education] is among the most concise, insightful, and cogent I have come across. * Steven Harris, Early Science and Medicine *...this learned and comprehensive book...is a pioneering study of neo-Latin didactic poetry, and it has broken much new ground. The author clearly knows these poems very well, and her enthusiasm and learning come across on every page. * Modern Language Review *She has mined the rich prefatory and dedicatory material to reconstruct for the modern reader the intellectual and aesthetic ideals which underlie poetry of this type, and has brought the genre to life. The volume contains a full bibliography and a good index. * Modern Language Review *

The University of Chicago Press The Open Door One Hundred Poems One Hundred Years
Book SynopsisFeatures a kind of anthology, energized by a self-imposed limitation to one hundred poems.Trade Review"A high-wire anthology of electric resonance.... The editors arranged poems by poets of the pantheon and poets overlooked, underrated, or new in pairings and sequences of thrilling contrapuntal dynamics. Christian Wiman's opening essay is titled 'Mastery and Mystery,' and those are, indeed, the forces at work here, inducing readers to marvel anew at the strange impulse to write poetry and the profound effort required to do it well." (Booklist) "With this collection, Share and Wiman want only to promote the art of poetry, something they do exceedingly well. Highly recommended." (Library Journal, starred review) "A wonderful anthology.... In many ways this is a wonderfully democratic anthology-to get in, you don't have to be famous, you just need to be good." (National Post) "If readers would like to sample the genius and diversity of American poetry in the last century, there's no better place to start than The Open Door." (World Literature Today)"

University of Illinois Press FeLines
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Norman Shapiro, a flute, harp, and violoncello of cat song, tells the crafty musical tale of the cat from medieval France until today. Shapiro, at his artistic apogee, created an English masterpiece in his Selected Lyrics of Théophile Gautier. But now with his Fe-Lines, he has invented a new genre, as T. S. Eliot did with Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. The world is his pen. Who knows where the next Everest awaits him?"--Willis Barnstone, author of Moonbook and Sunbook"What makes a cat poem appealing to the reader? One of the salient features that I took from Fe-Lines is the constant desire to finish a poem with a 'menschliche Weisheit' (human insight of wisdom) that activates the reader's imagination and keeps the reader inside the movement of the poem. A major contribution to the field of letters and world literature."--Rainer Schulte, author of The Geography of Translation and Interpretation: Traveling between Languages“With beautiful illustrations and poems of every age and form, this book will please everyone (except dog lovers).”--World Literature Today

University of Notre Dame Press Book of Irish American Poetry
Book SynopsisThis is the first major anthology of Irish American poetry. It breaks new ground in the field of Irish American literary scholarship by collecting for the first time the work of over two hundred Irish American poets, as well as other American poets whose work enjoins Irish American themes.Trade Review". . . If the purpose of a good poetry anthology is to introduce readers to unfamiliar writers and reacquaint them with neglected masters, this one must be judged a raging success. Tobin does provide a meaningfully convivial context in which to engage, in close proximity, the work of Galway Kinnell, Billy Collins, and Paul Muldoon. They’re good company, and there’s plenty more where that came from." —Booklist". . . A prodigious and remarkable work of literary scholarship. This anthology is far more than an original work of scholarship: it is a major act of recovery, which rescues from oblivion the work of important writers who have been the creators of the Irish American literary consciousness. Professor Tobin has achieved the invention of a whole new field. With publication of this anthology, we will finally understand both the scale and importance of Irish American poetry." —Eammon Wall, Jefferson Smurfit Professor of Irish Studies, University of Missouri-St. Louis"More than two hundred poets from the eighteenth century to now are represented in The Book of Irish American Poetry, some resurrected and restored, others seen anew from the perspective of Irish American studies, still others deservedly anthologized for the first time. Poet and editor Daniel Tobin demonstrates beyond question the length, depth, strength and variety of Irish American poetry. His anthology—complete with historical chronology, biographical and explanatory notes, and extensive bibliographies—is the first accurate map of a new territory." —Brendan Galvin, author of Habitat: New and Selected Poems, 1965-2005“This handsome book, with its dust jacket reproduction of Hughson Hawley’s Laying the Tracks at Broadway and 14th Street (ca. 1891), is unique in American anthology-making . . . . a major literary and critical achievement . . . it is basically a superb poetic treasury, just as suitable for one’s home collection as for research libraries. Its hundreds of poems, full of lyricism, though veined with Celtic melancholy and the sense of the tragic, constitute versions of an historical and cultural tradition of enormous importance to America and still vigorous, proving that Irish American culture is more than just a good pub or a St. Patrick’s Day parade.” —Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture“Tobin's 900-plus-page anthology is a gem. . . . It is an effusive text of Irish American poetry, rather than of Irish American poets, and because of this it is inclusive in a way that one might not expect. . . . This is an anthology at once rigorously defined and researched and yet also open to every type of poet and poem.” —The Virginia Quarterly Review“Editor and poet Daniel Tobin took on a mammoth task in attempting to compile the most authoritative collection of Irish-American poetry . . . . This book is a must-have for lovers of Irish and Irish-American writing.” —Irish America“. . . an intelligent, imaginative collection that sheds new light on a literary tradition while highlighting exciting work that might otherwise go unnoticed. Definitive enough to belong on the book shelf of any scholar who teaches or writes about American poetry, it is also a marvelous read, a browsing treasure.” —New Hibernia Review“Tobin as editor reaches beyond ethnic boundaries to capture a deeper and universal sense of freedom and exile. These poets, not all Irish or Irish-American, feel deeply the trauma of history.” —Multicultural Review“Daniel Tobin’s The Book of Irish American Poetry: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present means to be for poetry what Charles Fanning’s two great works, The Irish Voice in America and Exiles of Erin, do for Irish-American prose. That is, to be the last word. And certainly, what he has created with this encyclopedia collection is a compendium of works remarkable for its scope and depth.” —An Sionnach“This is a book that one will enjoy dipping into again and again through the years. It appeals to poetry-loving Americans of all backgrounds, not only those who rejoice in some sort of 'Irish connection.'” —Doxa: A Quarterly Review

John Wiley and Sons Ltd American Gothic
Book SynopsisAmerican Gothic remains an enduringly fascinating genre, retaining its chilling hold on the imagination.Trade Review“This excellent anthology provides an entertaining collection of gothic works of various genres written by both canonical authors, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe, and less familiar American writers, such as Harriet Prescot Spofford and Ella Wilkinson Peattie ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-and upper-division undergraduates; general readers.” (Choice, 1 January 2014) "One of the main strengths of this collection lies in the fact that it places alongside the intelligent selection of extracts from authors already rightly well associated with the genre contributions from lesser known figures such as George Lippard. John Neal, Charles W. Chestnutt, and Cotton Mather, to name but a few. The edition also benefits greatly from a much greater acknowledgement of the traditionally underlooked contributions to the genre made by female authors… The anthology's thoughtful selection of texts and authors, and useful, practical, scholarly apparatus mean that it should be an immensely useful resource for anyone teaching on courses related to this ever-expanding and influential subsection of American literary studies." - Bernice Murphy, Trinity College DublinTable of ContentsList of Authors x Chronology xi Thematic Table of Contents xv Preface to the Second Edition xxviii Editorial Principles xxix Acknowledgments xxx Introduction 1 Cotton Mather (1663–1728) 3 “The Tryal of G.

University of California Press Technicians of the Sacred Third Edition
Book SynopsisHailed by Robert Creeley as both a deeply useful book and an unequivocal delight and by the LA Times Book Review as one of the hundred most recommended American books of the late 20th century, Jerome Rothenberg's landmark anthology Technicians of the Sacred has educated and inspired generations of poets, artists, musicians, and other readers, exposing them to the multiple possibilities of poetry throughout the world. Juxtaposing primitive and archaic works of art from many cultures with each other and with avant-garde and experimental poetry, Jerome Rothenberg contends that literature extends beyond specific temporal and geographic boundaries, while acting as a retort to those who would call that larger humanity into question. A half-century since its original publication, this revised and expanded third edition provides readers with a wealth of newly gathered and translated texts from recently reinvigorated indigenous cultures, bringing the volume into the present and further extending the range and depth of what we recognize and read as poetry.Trade Review"If there is anyone out there struggling to write lyrics, get your hands on this book; immerse yourselves in it, live inside it for a while, free your mind, and you will emerge brimming with ideas." * Nick Cave *Table of ContentsTHE PRE-FACES Pre-Face (2017) Pre-Face (1984) Pre-Face (1967) THE TEXTS Origins & Namings Visions & Spels Death & Defeat The Book of Events (I) The Book of Events (II) Africa America Asia Europe & The Ancient Near East Oceania Survivals & Revivals THE STATEMENTS THE COMMENTARIES POST-FACE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
