William Henry Harrison and Other Poems
ISBN: 9780807131213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "A wonderfully disorienting title for a wonderfully orienting book. Deeply instructive, entirely delightful."-Henry Taylor The prodigiously imaginative mind and penetrating wit of David R. Slavitt are on full display in his newest collection of poetry that is perhaps his most engaging to date. The title poem begins by fooling around-"With three names like that, it sounds as though his mother is calling him and she's really angry"-but then builds into a shrewd, thoughtful account of the life of the ninth U.S. president. A second long poem offers a fresh and very amusing appraisal of the...

Broken Columns: Two Roman Epic Fragments: The Achilleid of Publius Papinius Statius and the Rape of Proserpine of Claudius Claudianus
ISBN: 9780812216301 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Broken Columns Two Roman Epic Fragments: "The Achilleid" of Publius Papinius Statius and "The Rape of Proserpine" of Claudius Claudianus Edited and Translated by David R. Slavitt. Afterword by David Konstan "With unerring instinct Slavitt has juxtaposed two witty and ironic post-Ovidian tales of coming of age, Statius's unfinished Deeds of Achilles and Claudian's Rape of Proserpina. Those were the mythical days when teenagers were charming and rape consensual (for Deidamia) or at least (for Proserpina) the path to queenly power. Epic was never the same after Ovid, whether in...

Civil Wars

His satire is sharp, and he can be wildly funny." -- New York Times Book Review "One of America's most lucid and classical poets.... Slavitt's attitude is, as one would expect of a Hebrew as well as Greco-Latin classicist, sharply questioning as well as tragic. He is a poet one reads to know more." -- Booklist "Slavitt is both smart and wise; he's as well known for his translations of the writers of antiquity as he is for his original work, both poetry and prose.... With a rich sense of humor, a bit... Praise for David R. Slavitt "Slavitt's touch is light, and he writes beautifully.... His satire is sharp, and he can be wildly funny." -- New Yor... |

Slavitt touches on topics from the mundane to the mysterious with his signature wit and intelligence. In "Stupid," for instance, he transforms a simple head cold into an appreciation for the richness of consciousness, and in "Waking," the very effort of rising from bed becomes something like a miracle: "I heave myself up to a sitting position, pause / a moment, and am amazed by what I have done...." Slavitt explores the range of the human condition with such ease and insight that readers cannot help but ponder what life is --... In The Seven Deadly Sins and Other Poems, veteran poet David R.

The Lays of Marie de France
ISBN: 9781927356357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The twelve ?lays? of Marie de France, the earliest known French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse by poet and translator David R. Slavitt. Traditional Breton folktales were the raw material for Marie de France's series of lively but profound considerations of love, life, death, fidelity and betrayal, and luck and fate. They offer acute observations about the choices that women make, startling in the late twelfth century and challenging even today. Combining a woman's wisdom with an impressive technical bravura, the lays are a minor treasure of European culture. The twelve ?lays? of Marie de France, the earliest known French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse by poet and translator Da... |

Falling from Silence: Poems
ISBN: 9780807126738 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 87 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Falling from Silence is the seventy-third book by David Slavitt, the prolific poet, translator, and editor. His amazing rate of production has only amplified and refined the power of his art. This is the work of an accomplished veteran, a craftsman who laments the limitations of what his hard-earned talent can do in the face of age and loss. He turns to religion, reads the classics, and in moments of cheer that may not be mere mania, he horses around and fools with the words that have been his toys, but nothing helps - or, more accurately, nothing helps enough. It is nevertheless true that,...
