Antologa Potica 19511985
Book SynopsisADRIENNE RICH (Baltimore, 1929-California, 2012) fue una de las poetas estadounidenses más influyentes del último siglo. Con una voz atrapante e inconfundible, logró introducir las discusiones sobre género, raza y clase en el discurso poético, y fue capaz de cuestionar los límites formales de la poesía al mismo tiempo que a la sociedad y a sí misma. En su obra, se halla siempre la intención manifiesta de buscar la verdad; sus planteamientos acerca de la condición humana, el amor y la historia parten de la convicción de que solo a partir de la toma de conciencia es posible el cambio.Con el objetivo de atravesar y reflejar la evolución de su poesía desde sus comienzos, próximos a la tradición, hasta que desarrolla un estilo más radical, tanto en la forma como en el contenido feminista y político, esta antología bilingüe presenta una selección de diez libros publicados entre 1951 y 1985, y también incluye un prólogo de la autora.

Sumergirse en el naufragio Prxima aparicin
Book SynopsisSumergirse en el naufragio es el libro de poemas más celebrado de Adrienne Rich. Puede leerse como una respuesta a la tradición en que se inscriben La tierra baldía de T. S. Eliot o los Cantos de Ezra Pound. La poeta se sumerge en las profundidades de un océano de mitos para explorar los restos de un naufragio. Ese naufragio es nuestra civilización, toda su podredumbre y toda su belleza. Poco a poco se va desprendiendo de todas las historias que rodean al naufragio, hasta quedarse solo con lo esencial. También se despoja de su cuerpo de mujer, hasta quedarse con un cuerpo primigenio: un cuerpo andrógino, mitad sirena, mitad tritón. Y con él recorre los restos de lo que fuimos. Pero, sobre todo, rescata lo que aún queda intacto y que podrá ayudarnos a reconstruir una nueva civilización, donde la mujer sea un hombre y el hombre, una mujer. Un nuevo comienzo despojado de historias y de mitos, centrado en la presencia. Un comienzo no de igualdad, sino de identificación, de reconocim

Book Synopsis“Rich’s poetry itself is a mirror, reflecting the truths about humanity this discerning poet has come to understand.”—BooklistTrade Review"Tonight No Poetry Will Serve... pursues the kind of late style that asks us to know what came before - it has new and vivid ways to see the contest that has driven [Rich] all along: on the one hand, the hope for solidarity; on the other, the artist whose words must stand alone." Stephen Burt, London Review of Books "Adrienne Rich - was one of the most influential and political American poets of the last century." The Guardian "This new collection, of pieces written between 2007 and 2010, reveals a supremely confident writer at work." Tribune

"For all Rich's shepherding us toward compassion and solidarity with those who suffer violence and injustice, she never ceases to praise the mystery intrinsic to poetry and art."

WW Norton & Co Diving into the Wreck
Book SynopsisIn her seventh volume of poetry, Adrienne Rich searches to reclaim—to discover—what has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored.Trade Review"Diving into the Wreck is one of those rare books that force you to decide not just what you think of it, but what you think about yourself. It is a book that takes risks, and forces the reader to take them also... You feel about her best images, her best myths, that nobody else writes quite like this." -- Margaret Atwood "The poet is telling of something now standing before her eyes of which her heart is full... These poems are not loose facts, they are parts of a revelation." -- Richard Howard

Here is a poet who knew her own contradictions, determined to depict them accurately, and equally determined that she would not write for herself alone." -- Stephen Burt - San Francisco Chronicle

Sueo de una lengua comun elpoesia
Book SynopsisEn este poemario Rich habla del poder de las mujeres, de los amores entre ellas, hermosos y prohibidos, y retoma una de las metáforas más antiguas de la tradición literaria: la naturaleza y su semejanza con el cuerpo femenino. Pero sobre todo es un libro que cuestiona la opresión y el silencio de las mujeres, y que imagina lo que sólo los grandes poetas han soñado: la creación de una lengua común que permita comprendernos de forma verdadera, sin herirnos, sin violentarnos, donde la existencia no sea una batalla entre todos nosotros sino la afirmación de una nueva armonía, entre hombres y mujeres, entre el ser humano y la naturaleza, una lengua para soñar por fin juntos nuestra humanidad común.

Bloodaxe Books Ltd Selected Poems
Book SynopsisThe poetry of Muriel Rukeyser (1913-80) confronts the turbulent currents of modern history as it explores with depth and honesty the realms of politics, sexuality, mythic imagination, technological change and family life. Rukeyser was a social activist of unwavering commitment, a tireless experimenter who opened fresh forms and fresh subject-matter in modern American poetry, and a writer who was constantly testing her own limits in a life's work of extraordinary scope. She held a visionary belief in the human capacity to create social change through language, and earned an international reputation as a powerful voice against enforced silences of all kind, against the violence of war, poverty and racism. Edited and introduced by Adrienne Rich, this new selection provides an indispensable introduction to the adventurous and prolific work of one of the most significant and influential American poets of the 20th century.Trade Review'She refused to compartmentalise herself or her work, claiming her right to intellect and sexuality, poetry and science, Marxism and myth, activism and motherhood, theory and vision - She was one of the great integrators, seeing the fragmentary world of modernity not as irretrievably broken, but in need of societal and emotional repair - the range and daring of her work, its generosity of vision, its level of energy are unequalled among twentieth-century American poets. Her poems can be panoramic (yet vividly concrete), intimate, epigrammatic, meditative, sensual, mordantly witty, visionary' - Adrienne Rich. 'One of the most important poets of our time - Her originality, her genius, her courage illuminate our century' - Sharon Olds. 'She was the first poet that I knew personally. I knew her when I was still an undergraduate. She was a very amazing human being and any traces of honesty in my life come from having seen how beautifully honest she was in administering her life and her poetry without any separation - you couldn't get a knife between the two things with her. The real influence was her human model of what a poet could be' - William Meredith, Paris Review. 'Muriel Rukeyser loved poetry more than anyone I've ever known. She also believed it could change us, move the world' - Alice Walker. 'Muriel, mother of everyone' - Anne Sexton.
