The Poetry of Men's Lives
Alive with the wisdom, artistry, and emotion of more than 250 poets from nearly one hundred countries, this anthology celebrates the multifaceted experience of contemporary manhood. The lives into which these poems invite us reveal the influences of culture, heredity, personal experience, values, beliefs, wishes, desires, loves, and betrayals. Men are notoriously reluctant to open up and discuss these things; and yet when they do--as in these poems--they tell us about their families, lovers, relationships, political and religious beliefs, sexuality, and childhoods. There is much to learn here about who men are and how they see their worlds. Collects close to three hundred poems, in English o...
The March to the Stars
Poetry. Introduction by Adam J.Sorkin, who translated the collection with the author and several other Romanian translators. Mihai Ursachi (1941-2004) is one of Romania's most eminent and original writers, and was a nominee for a Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001. He defected to the U.S. in 1981, after years of imprisonment under a repressive regime. He returned to Romania after the 1989 revolution and assumed an active role. Donald Eulert remarks the poet's "thorough modern response both to his own tradition and to the human condition at large," while Sorkin points to this poet's variety of registers: "Ursachi's rich lyrical gift led to the creation of poetry of complex beauty designed to serve as the medium for truth." The present collection is the result of several years of selection and translation, concluded in 2004, and it comprises Ursachi's best poems.
Censorship in Romania
Ion Vianu: The trap of history
Marginal Spaces and Cultures of Dissent in Socialist Romania's Black Sea
This book analyzes two Romanian villages – 2 Mai and Vama Veche – as spaces of relative freedom during the last decades of socialist rule. This microhistorical study refutes simplistic views of the communist past which focus on political figures and events, and instead explores ordinary people and everyday life. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it considers a broad range of sources, including official Communist Party documents, secret police files, personal memoirs, oral history interviews, ethnographic films, songs, and artistic performances. This book intertwines three narrative threads: that of the visitors (mainly members of the Romanian intelligentsia, young people, and hippies); that of the local inhabitants; and that of 'authority' (local and central state agents actively engaged in surveillance and supervision). In doing so, it interrogates the spectrum of consent/dissent and resistance/collaboration hitherto neglected in scholarship.
Prioritizing Skills Development for Student Employability
In the throes of a global skills gap and relentless labor market disruptions, organizations grapple with the pressing challenge of aligning workforce skills with the demands of a hypercompetitive economy. Reports from influential entities like the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company underscore the urgency for strategic interventions to bridge this divide. Despite the pivotal role of higher education and corporate training, recent findings from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reveal a persistent struggle in finding candidates equipped with the requisite skills for a multitude of available jobs. The deficiencies span from foundational communication skills to complex pr...
Say This of Horses
Containing more than a hundred poems by seventy-four poets of twenty-two nationalities, Say This of Horses represents the abundance of poems about horses that have been written throughout the ages and around the world. Whether probing the ages-old connection between horses and humans, the immediate physical presence of horses, or the metaphysical elements of these magnificent animals, this collection celebrates the horse as what Maxine Kumin calls “our enduring myth, the repository for our love and terror.” Divided into six sections, Say This of Horses considers horses in a multitude of times and places. “Antiquity” explores the forging of the earliest mythical ties between horses an...
Spatial Readings and Linguistic Landscapes
Talking about space in literature and linguistics is a major challenge, not only for experts in the field of the humanities, but also for the broader public, searching for orientation clues on the vast book market. This volume offers a selection of studies which, even though reliant on shared instruments, apply these to different geographical spaces, uniting along an imaginary axis the East and the West, advancing challenging, serious and innovative analyses of prose, dramatic and film texts, belonging to literatures from various countries, but also references to the phenomenon of migration seen through the lens of spatial correspondence or the existence of a “third space” dimension in the field of teaching foreign languages. The journey the impassioned reader will undertake through this volume will undoubtedly offer both the pleasure of reading itself, and incursions into complementary cultures, an endeavour completed by the unique mechanism of a spatiality which produces knowledge. Any reading engaged in through the lens of space implicitly becomes a form of owning and assuming the latter.
101 dialoguri în libertate (vol. 1)
Cassian Maria Spiridon e un fervent al fragmentului liric, al concentratului capabil a fixa poezia. Spaţiul şi timpul verbului se contrag astfel la minimalul semn al substanţei, ungarettian urmărite în sensul unor fugitive contacte ale universului lăuntric cu cel exterior, înconjurate de magia tăcerii. Pe deasupra oricărei dezvoltări, resimţite ca parazitare, fragmentul e suveran ca loc privilegiat al poeziei. Dacă Paul Valéry afirmă că partea cea mai profundă a omului e pielea sa, înţelegem alarma nivelului senzorial, încordarea simţurilor în vederea integrării în real a fiinţei. Se ajunge astfel la o poetică a simţurilor. Aceasta restaurează concretul în dreptur...
