    Book SynopsisA powerful, indelible new collection by Michael Palmerone of America's most important poets (The Harvard Review)Trade Review"Palmer manages to cut deep into the unknowable appeal of the best poetry, some of which Palmer can claim to have written." -- Jonathon Sturgeon - Flavorwire"Depending on the poem, the laughter here is by turns bitter, wistful even playful, but typically inflected by a sense of enigma. Returning again and again to songs and singing, to voices and voicelessness, Palmer continues to push the boundaries of poetry with dream songs that explore the place of poetry in a surreal world 'where headless horseman sing/fevered songs/of self and war.' Palmer writes with uncanny precision about this world, a world that this book finds to be as beautiful as it is violated, and his poetry often achieves an ecstatic pitch, but one in which pain is rarely absent." -- Jon Thompson - Free Verse"Palmer’s poems can suggest multiverses, silent but spectrally there." -- James Gibbons - Hyperallergic"The music in these verses never exhausts itself […] Palmer recomposes the measures of poetic song for our time." -- Benjamin Hollander - New York Times Book Review"Magnificent … an astringent blend of surrealism and symbolism." -- The New York Times Book Review"Exemplarily radical." -- John Ashbery"The most influential avant-gardist working, and perhaps the greatest poet of his generation. His genius is for making the world strange again." -- Village Voice"Palmer is among America’s most elegant—and abstract—heirs to modernist poetry." -- The Believer

  • William Langlands Piers Plowman

    University of Pennsylvania Press William Langlands Piers Plowman

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisWilliam Langland''s Piers Plowman is one of the major poetic monuments of medieval England and of world literature. Probably composed between 1372 and 1389, the poem survives in three distinct versions. It is known to modern readers largely through the middle of the three, the so-called B-text. Now, George Economou''s verse translation of the poet''s third version makes available for the first time in modern English the final revision of a work that many have regarded as the greatest Christian poem in our language.Langland''s remarkable powers of invention and his passionate involvement with the spiritual, social, and political crises of his time lay claim to our attention, and demand serious comparison with Dante''s Divine Comedy. Economou''s translation preserves the intensity of the poet''s verse and the narrative energy of his alliterative long line, the immediacy of the original''s story of the quest for salvation, and the individuality of its language and wordplayTrade Review"A gifted poet has given us an astute, adroit, vigorous, inviting, eminently readable translation. . . . The challenging gamut of Langland's language . . . has here been rendered with blessed energy and precision. Economou has indeed Done-Best." * Allen Mandelbaum *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Selected Bibliography Prologue Passus I Passus II Passus III Passus IV Passus V Passus VI Passus VII Passus VIII Passus IX Passus X Passus XI Passus XII Passus XIII Passus XIV Passus XV Passus XVI Passus XVII Passus XVIII Passus XIX Passus XX Passus XXI Passus XXII Explanatory Notes Appendix: Table of Major Additions, Omissions, and Transpositions of Material in the C Version

  • The Satires of Horace

    University of Pennsylvania Press The Satires of Horace

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Roman philosopher and dramatic critic Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-3 B.C.), known in English as Horace, was also the most famous lyric poet of his age. Written in the troubled decade ending with the establishment of Augustus''s regime, his Satires provide trenchant social commentary on men''s perennial enslavement to money, power, fame, and sex. Not as frequently translated as his Odes, in recent decades the Satires have been rendered into prose or bland verse.Horace continues to influence modern lyric poetry, and our greatest poets continue to translate and marvel at his command of formal style, his economy of expression, his variety, and his mature humanism. Horace''s comic genius has also had a profound influence on the Western literary tradition through such authors as Swift, Pope, and Boileau, but interest in the Satires has dwindled due to the difficulty of capturing Horace''s wit and formality with the techniques of contemporary free verse.A. M. Juster''s striTrade Review"This translation is highly enjoyable, giving a Latinless reader a vivid impression of these self-conscious poems." * Times Literary Supplement *"The best edition available of the 'Satires' in English. . . . Highly recommended." * Choice *"A delight to read-full of fiendishly clever rhymes that the old master of dactylic hexameter himself would have relished." * Anthony Esolen, Providence College *Table of ContentsTranslator's Note Introduction by Susanna Braund Book I Satire 1 Satire 2 Satire 3 Satire 4 Satire 5 Satire 6 Satire 7 Satire 8 Satire 9 Satire 10 Book II Satire 1 Satire 2 Satire 3 Satire 4 Satire 5 Satire 6 Satire 7 Satire 8 Notes Sources Acknowledgments

  • Seven Hundred Elegant Verses

    New York University Press Seven Hundred Elegant Verses

    Book SynopsisWhen Govardhana composed his "Seven Hundred Elegant Verses" in Sanskrit in the twelfth century CE, the title suggested that this was a response to the 700 verses in the more demotic Prakrit language traditionally attributed to King Hala, composed almost a thousand years earlier. This book offers a translation of his poems.Trade Review"The books line up on my shelf like bright Bodhisattvas ready to take tough questions or keep quiet company. They stake out a vast territory, with works from two millennia in multiple genres: aphorism, lyric, epic, theater, and romance." -- Willis G. Regier * The Chronicle Review *"Published in the geek-chic format." * BookForum *"The Clay Sanskrit Library represents one of the most admirable publishing projects now afoot. . . . Anyone who loves the look and feel and heft of books will delight in these elegant little volumes." * New Criterion *"Very few collections of Sanskrit deep enough for research are housed anywhere in North America. Now, twenty-five hundred years after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, the ambitious Clay Sanskrit Library may remedy this state of affairs." * Tricycle *"No effort has been spared to make these little volumes as attractive as possible to readers: the paper is of high quality, the typesetting immaculate. The founders of the series are John and Jennifer Clay, and Sanskritists can only thank them for an initiative intended to make the classics of an ancient Indian language accessible to a modern international audience." * The Times Higher Education Supplement *

  • Other Letters to Milena

    The University of Alabama Press Other Letters to Milena

    Book SynopsisOther Letters to Milena is a translation of a mixedgenre work by acclaimed Cuban poet Reina María Rodríguez in which poetry merges into creative nonfiction, culminating in a series of essays. Published in Spanish as Otras cartas a Milena, Other Letters to Milena shows Rodríguez confronting pressing issues at the turn of the twenty first century. These involve a new postSoviet world and the realities of diasporic existence, which have a profound effect even on people like Rodríguez who have not migrated but continue to live and work in their home nation. The book's title references Franz Kafka, whose Letters to Milena was published after his death in 1952, signals that Rodríguez participates in her city's long cosmopolitan tradition asserted by Cuban writers and scholars of Cuban literature. Rodríguez's youngest daughter, featured most prominently in the letters making up the collection's centerpiece, A Girl's Story, was named after Milena Jesenská, the recipient of Kafka's letters

In their sweep, the poems trace Keller's metamorphosis from a native of a bucolic Alabama town to her emergence as a beloved, international figure who championed the rights of the deaf-blind worldwide.Trade ReviewWhile it is hard to find a contemporary poet able to conjure any human figure, much less one so sealed in stone as Helen Keller, in Thompson’s Myth of Water Helen lives. She is present.

    Book SynopsisIn Doubtful Harbor, Idris Anderson turns wandering into art. From large landscapes to the minutest details, she seeks with each poem to convey the world more clearly, acutely, and exquisitely.Trade Review“Where Bishop’s art tended to be on the threshold between the visual and the visionary, Anderson’s swerve from her great precursor adheres to the visual, and yet teases from it what can be seen as an intimation at once immanent and transcendental.”“Doubtful Harbor charts an intrepid journey to regions as remote as Shanghai, Fiesole, the Peloponnese, an orchard in Macedonia, a silk factory in Suzhou … Watched over by the guardian spirits of Elizabeth Bishop and Virginia Woolf, Anderson writes with the passion and uncanny precision of a poet in full possession of her powers. Doubtful Harbor is a uniquely accomplished book by a uniquely talented poet. A wonderful achievement.”

Delighted readers will finally have a chance to plunge into the great Nicaraguan poet’s masterpiece and sing with him of life and hope.”—Ariel Dorfman, author of In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land: New and Collected Poems from Two Languages“Will Derusha and Alberto Acereda give us a Rubén Darío that will be of immense interest to aficionados of poetry in Spanish, as well as to lay readers who have discovered the joys and pleasures of the likes of Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and Cesar Vallejo.”—Rafael Campo, author of Landscape with Human FigureTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Prefacio | Preface 48 Cantos de vida y esperanza | Songs of Life and Hope I.

    Duke University Press A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisCollection of essays and poems that address the challenges of being a Chicana, a lesbian, and a feminist in the changing world of the twenty-first century.Trade Review“Moraga’s prose is characteristically trenchant and her stance unapologetic as ever. But there is a tender quality of reflection here, too, even nostalgia, that strikes a new note. . . . [T]he sense of trying to hang on to, to remember, something vanishing is palpable in this book. It is a posture that Moraga strikes superbly, and the result is a strong articulation of resistance and, yes, hope, from one of the most important queer Chicana intellectuals of our time.” - Victoria Bolf, Lambda Literary Review“Nostalgia, evolving consciousness, and the concept of (w)riting –writing to remember / making rite to remember / having the right to remember–lyrically permeate the pages of this book. Moraga’s ideas have matured and become more profound with the passage of time; I look forward to reading more of her eloquent resistance and wisdom in the coming years.” - The Feminist Texican [Reads]“This is an overall compelling, timely, and on many fronts, prophetic read. There is just enough background discourse on Chicana feminist thought and history for those uninitiated readers, and many new critical reflections and insights for the more seasoned readers wondering what this author has to offer since her last influential work. Both will potentially walk away from this book with an overdue sense of indignation, as well as a sense of hope that within the burgeoning nest of Chicana consciousness and social activism, lies the golden egg of a just, social democracy in the United States.” - Christiane Grimal, GRAAT Anglophone Studies“A Xicana Codex reminds readers about the contributions women of color have made to feminist inquiry. . . . The book is a must for everyone, especially those interested in the intersections informing transnational women of color feminist practice.” - Alvina E. Quintana, Women’s Review of Books“‘I am no prophet, only a witness to the writing already on the wall that divides my own native homeland’ says Cherríe Moraga in the opening of her contemporary codex. Moraga speaks directly, as a powerful voice of a pivotal generation, a generation that is aging and coming to terms with its urgent, collective story. This political memoir in essays is a testimony to the awakening of an indigenous consciousness that has been disappeared in the memory of colonized Americas. The collection is blessed by the drawings of Celia Herrera Rodríguez. They provide the ceremonial flow. They represent the voices of the plants, earth and elements that give dreaming to the human mind. What a powerful offering in a time of reckoning.”—Joy Harjo, Mvskoke Nation, poet, musician, performer, playwright“Cherríe Moraga’s A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness is a hope fulfilled. After the passing of Gloria Anzaldúa, Chicana/o studies suffered something like an eclipse of the moon but here comes radical, creative light into our lives and scholarship once more. Moraga’s intellectual and emotional courage about sexuality, race, queerness, and feminist energy shows us that Barack Obama and all Americans also live in the time of Latinos and Xicanas. Underlying these essays is the creative question ‘how can this new demography of many colors and genders be cultivated into a new democracy?’”—Davíd Carrasco, author of Religions of Mesoamerica: Cosmovision and Ceremonial Centers“A Xicana Codex reminds readers about the contributions women of color have made to feminist inquiry. . . . The book is a must for everyone, especially those interested in the intersections informing transnational women of color feminist practice.” -- Alvina E.
