A new collection of poetry by the noted American author.
A reprinting of the great Sun & Moon title.
The ninth collection of poetry by Los Angeles author Dennis Phillips.
Considered radical at the time, Breton's ideas today seem almost prescient, yet breathtaking in their passionate underlying belief in the indestructibility of life and the freedom of the human spirit. Breton wrote Arcanum 17 during a trip to the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec in the months after D-Day in 1944, when the allied troops were liberating Occupied Europe. Using the huge Perce Rock - its impermanence, its slow-motion crumbling, its singular beauty - as his central metaphor, Breton considers issues of love, loss, aggression, war, pacifism and feminism.
One of the greatest poets of Arabic literature, Adonis's work often centres on the process of petic creation, but his work has somehow remained highly appealing to Arab readers, and he has had, perhaps, more influence in terms of innovation and modernity than any other contemporary Arab poet. Twice he has been a finalist for the Nobel Prize. For Adonis, poetry is a vision, a leap outside of established concepts, a change in the order of things and the way we look at them.''
An important play, published for the first time in book form, by the noted author of Promenade and Fefu and Her Friends
This is an amazing poetic dramatization of the life of artist Camille Claudel. The play presents the disturbing frenzy of interpretations surrounding the artist, who was the mistress of Rodin and sister to Playwright Paul Claudel, both of whom helped in institutionalizing her in an asylum, where she died, her art nearly forgotten. Author of "You: the City and London," Fiona Templeton recently received a grant from Foundation for Contemporary Performance.
Beginning with personal remembrances, experiences, and feelings, Mayrocker adds linguistic material collected from a variety of sources (which through the years she gathered on pieces of paper) to create a grand collage in with each clouded peak, a collage subject to the permutations, repetitions, and rediscoveries of everyday life. The result is a text that does not easily fit into any genre, as it straddles autobiography, essay, fiction, and poetry.
Suites is one of the most charming and melodious of all of Lorca's poem series. Written early in his career, most of these poems remained unpublished during his lifetime and were later reassembled from notebooks. The first appearance of this work in English was in a small chapbook, entitled Suites, and in the Collected Poems of 1988; but the current edition of Selected Verse contains only a fraction of this important series. This is the first complete single-volume edition of this great work.
As if it were dictated, so to speak, from the front lines', Tent Posts is a book of theoretical urgency by the great Belgian writer. From the very first line Michaux warns the reader to prepare for combat, a bodiless, abstract combat learned by daydreaming. He hectors, cajoles, encourages, and entertains us like a grumbling pedant: 'Communicate? You too would like to communicate? Communicate what'... You're not yet intimate enough with you, poor fool, to have something to communicate.''
