Shakespeare's Sonnets Re-done
ISBN: 9781420816723 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS RE-DONE consists of all 154 of the sonnets William Shakespeare sent down to us; however, those items have been given some evident rewritings -- between 'translations' and 'adaptations'. Stylistic compromises infest the now perhaps final versions. For instance, some definite splittings of infinitives and some very findable examples of the expletive 'there' and the expletive 'it'--along with such probably major solecisms as Enjambment--might be seen as real detractors. After an Editorial While had elapsed a giving up occurred. [Bruce Hamilton had intended to reduce to zero...

I Like Your Shirt (**Etc.**): Quatrains, Threesomes, & Couplets
ISBN: 9781440154287 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I LIKE YOUR SHIRT (**Etc.**) is a compilation of 260 samples of highly rhymed iambic-pentameter versifications -- quatrains, threesomes, and couplets written so that each item might seem to be "one sweeping sentence." The roller-coaster-like strangeness of the entire collection may be starkly implied by its paradigmatic title, which promises a kind of barrage in terms of essential formulaics. A very definite attempt was made to push the individual pieces toward much grammatical correctness, so the ultimate effects might seem nearly lapidary even if never absolutely sleek or slick. Much...

William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night [Re-Done]
ISBN: 9781440107368 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT Re-done] is a very diligent attempt to put into 'Modern Dress' Shakespeare's original play. The process was arduous, and it involved trying to retain Shakespearean form at least hugely. One salient (and silly?) deviation from basic faithfulness could be the apparently capricious altering of 'the Elephant' to 'Camel's Inn.'] A quite pervasive idea in terms of all practical considerations was something very much like the careful restoration of an old photograph or an old painting. After all, Shakespeare lived near London over 400 years ago, and his language...

60 Sonnets 'Original' And 'Streamlined'
ISBN: 9780595336494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "60 Sonnets 'Original' And 'Streamlined'" respects poetic traditions. The main feature of the collection, an aggregation of 120 Shakespearean sonnets, may be a recurring movement in favor of rigor that has no punctilious formal traditionality. Whatever subject matter might be seen in various examples, many of the sonnets might seem gripping; however, the entire secret of "60 Sonnets 'Original' And 'Streamlined'" probably ends up being in the strict form of the Shakespearean sonnet itself as that basic structure repeatedly is 'honored and obeyed' at least in terms of rhyme pattern, meter, and...

120 Paragraphs
ISBN: 9780595341306 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "120 Paragraphs" may seem to jape at the question of what a valid paragraph really might be. As if stuck in a jazzy or surrealistic world of horsing around, each 'paragraph' moves both nonchalantly and somewhat skittishly, at least in many instances. The real possible pleasure of the entire collection must be decidedly verbal, since verbal style definitely may seem to be prevailing over 'meaning'. Even so, traditional grammar remains both paramount and never to be at all disrespected. The author's main Literary Theorizing might include and re-include a strong likelihood that many time-honored...

250 Very Questionable 'Haiku': (Wherein Basho somewhat may get bashed, and his Kigo may get horribly kicked)
ISBN: 9780595359684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "250 Very Questionable 'Haiku'" truly is meant to be absolutely nothing but serious Fun and Games. Any aspirations toward conforming to all and sundry supposedly time-honored Haiku (or, for that matter, Senyru) traditions have been chucked out of every window. Each of the 250 included pieces received a special sort of Grammatical Attention, but only in terms of the 'English' side of possible or probable matters. Numerous little inside jokes may be found, here and there, in "250 Very Questionable 'Haiku'"; however, the total aggregation might, in some way or other, prove universally...

140 Shorties II: [More Verse Bits]
ISBN: 9780595371372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "140 Shorties II More Verse Bits]" may be something of an added insistence, or infliction, in the world. The collection's essential motif, which is of a quasi-form that includes evidently interlocking aspects in terms of titles that often blatantly rhyme with each other, might seem hopelessly ingrown and juvenile. The ultimate effect, despite any apparent expressed and re-expressed sadness or misery, is likely to be a very playful back-and-forth sort of thing.

Double Baloney Two: (Limericks & **Related Couplets**)
ISBN: 9781450217767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Double Baloney TWO (a sort of sequel of 240 brief and quite standardly rhymed items to the same author's recent **Double Baloney**) has a noticeably divergent formulaic aspect. At the top of every textual page of Double Baloney TWO should be a limerick that perhaps none too galumphingly forms an entire sweeping sentence; at the bottom of each textual page should be an I LIKE sort of couplet the book's author awhile back invented and now very much enjoys composing. Each limerick and every concomitant couplet might seem specially linked in that the title of each limerick is included in the...

250 Recent (And Overly Decent?) Limericks
ISBN: 9780595392186 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "250 Recent (And Overly Decent?) Limericks" is an evidently protracted attempt. The attempt is toward something like formal excellence. The form-in-question is (let's say) valid English, whereas the limerick form remains merely adventitious. Here beneath are a couple of sample limericks-and don't they manage to sweep along somewhat ridiculously? HELLO Hello and good-bye, little world of seeming to stay boyed and girled in manners and fashions whose finite new passions invite each ripe dream to seem swirled. GUITARS Guitars were restrumming themselves while waiting for happier shelves than...

120 Schoolboyish Petrarchan Sonnets
ISBN: 9780595359622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "120 'Schoolboyish" Petrarchan Sonnets" is a collection composed in a rather basic manner that essentially consisted of starting with a first word and then 'merely running' with that same word.
The aforementioned schoolboyish aspect of the entire collection should not at all detract from a sense that a sonnet can be very narrow and also highly ornate. The various individual examples may seem to veer here, there, and practically everywhere in terms of possible 'meanings'; meanwhile, each sonnet may be in strict keeping or almost strict keeping with the apparently preferred formulaics of...

Smug Senryu TWO: A Compilation of 240 Itemettes
ISBN: 9781462018444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "SMUG SENRYU 2" - a collection of 240 syllabic haikulike 'itemettes' - is intended to be a quite jokey and fun continuation of the same author's previous "SMUG SENRYU." "The essential smugness" may be seen in how the author of this relatively new aggregation strove to cling absolutely to rigorous aspects of **5-7-5** in terms of counting the included syllables; also, each of the individual brief items might seem to insist on being only one basic English sentence. That no wish or attempt ever existed to honor some of Basho's supposedly absolute haiku approaches may seem at least hugely to...

140 Shorties: [Verse Bits]
ISBN: 9780595365760 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "140 Shorties" has a way of bobbing and weaving along, from item to item. Each versification is truly brief, relatively speaking -- no longer, usually, than about 35 words. A special little approach or 'recipe'] was used in terms of the actual composition of the entire aggregation, so, for one thing, an evident rhyming between some titles might very readily be seen to exist.
Maybe about half of the included 140 pieces are rhymed and about half unrhymed. Aspects of rhythm may be detectable, but blatant meter generally seems unlikely. Here are a couple of perhaps representative samples: ... "140 Shorties" has a way of bobbing and weaving along, from item to item.

120 Standard Limericks: An Additional Attempt
ISBN: 9781440180378 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 120 "STANDARD" LIMERICKS is a sort of sequel to another book by the same author. An absolute wish could be that this compilation might offer decided stylistic improvements over its predecessor. Each included limerick consists of a couple of carefully measured sentences. Ideally those should seem about as contrapuntally interrelatable as the octave and sestet in very classical sonnet writing. Any such possibility depends on subjective aspects? Anyhow: an effort was made to produce some fun little texts.

222 Free-Verse **Bits**: (Too Tuned Toward Tuna?)
ISBN: 9780595475537 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "222 FREE-VERSE **Bits**" only slightly may fail to be absolutely in any and every generally perceived as 'normal' tradition of modern Free Verse. The individual offerings are, on a sort of average, quite, quite brief. Rhyme definitely 'intrudes' sometimes, but Meter really and truly seems highly toward absolutely ruled out.

140 Shorties III: [Yet More Verse Bits]
ISBN: 9780595373819 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "140 SHORTIES III" might seem to be positing, over and over, the possibility of magnificence in a relatively trivial and silly private format. That format not only includes relative brevities. It also includes clumps of titles that rhyme with each other and includes a rather special back-&-forth way of moving from one versification to the next.
The entire group of 140 pieces ultimately must be more of a verbal success than that same group ever could be any fount of real news or of anything like real 'info'. The following couple of examples might seem about averagely illustrative: "LIFT...
