Invisible Green
ISBN: 9781890650223 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Invisible Green: Selected Prose begins with the series of nine essays published in American Poetry Review, essays which enact intimate and yet capacious converse with, and among, an array of writers. Quoted works become provocations for this poet's examination of language and humanness, an examination that disrupts our more comfortable notions while extending insights as to the nature and necessity of poetry. The elegant immediacy of Revell's prose belies the complex virtuosity he demonstrates in his manipulation of the essay's formal constraints as he incorporates the works of writers with...

The Gaza of Winter: Poems
ISBN: 9780820309897 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Donald Revell s poems, the present is often little more than an instant caught between the sadness of memory and the need to face the future s blank expanse. Even the best dreams recall happiness that cannot be retrieved, while the worst memories bend past love into a crazy line through darkness: "Anything can turn furious. The crazy / line through wreckage that wears my face and all / the faces seems not to end. And on the way, / even the most damaged things have one / surface glazed, a sudden distorting mirror / that I can t help finding. There, I look as I did / stalled in hours or...

Erasures
ISBN: 9780819512062 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "When history proves useless and consensus chimerical," Donald Revell has written, "the poet's necessity is invention, and this does a lot to explain our century's preference for revision over mimesis." For Revell, The disruptions of this century have destroyed old illusions of historical continuity: "The consolations of history are furtive, / then fugitive, then forgotten." Invoking such contemporary events as the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War, he seeks to integrate the political with the personal in a search for new paradigms of value and honor.

There Are Three: Poems
ISBN: 9780819522474 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 59 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Believing and espousing an American tradition alive in the testimony of Anne Hutchinson, in the prose-poetry of Thoreau, and in the music of Ives, Donald Revell's new poems seek moments of harmony between language and silence. The death of the poet's father and almost concurrent birth of his son form the emotional underpinnings of this meditation on faith. "Every morning, beginning in childhood, / the music of variation sustains / the equal loneliness of every soul." These spare and elegant poems speak of a conversion in which a new city is founded in the heart of silence, and grace is a...

New Dark Ages
ISBN: 9780819511867 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the Pen Center USA West Literary Award in Poetry (1990) New Dark Ages is a book of ideas that exhibits a rare quality - adventurousness. The poems are intelligent and deeply felt, complex and crystal clear. Donald Revell writes about things as tender and as complicated as happiness and freedom. His poetry brims with images, wonder, and discovery, as it seeks to answer such questions as: If the original idea of America is defunct, what has taken its place? If privacy is no more, how do we go about the business of loving? If God and history have become one, what is the...

Beautiful Shirt
ISBN: 9780819512192 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 67 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The world that Donald Revell ponders in these poems replete with contrarieties. The same verbal playfulness and prophetic lyricism that made Revell a 1992 Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry and a winner of National Poetry Series, Pushcart, and PEN Center USA West awards are in full force in Beautiful Shirt. Here he traverses the rocky terrain of innocence, memory, disillusion, and salvation in a voice at once haunted and elliptical: "This is the world as I have known it./ It has a soft outline and is easily victimized." Juxtaposed within a trio of long, introspective poems are shorter lyrics...

Essay: A Critical Memoir
ISBN: 9781632430014 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Essay: A Critical Memoir is an experiment of the old school and of revived delight in the pleasures of close reading. What if all the poems are true? What if the allegories of a man or woman's life are in every way, and always, the actual shape of that life? To read is to find oneself again and again at the center of a pageant. To write is to call the pageant home. Essay is a memoir of Dante and Beatrice in New York circa 1968 and of an anti-war movement in something very much like Paradise.

Arcady
ISBN: 9780819564740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Poetry (2003) Donald Revell's new work, Arcady, draws its inspiration from Charles Ives and Henry David Thoreau to create a distinctly American poetic music. Triggered by a series of deaths in the poet's intimate circle, anchored in the deserts of the Spring Mountains of Nevada, this book is nonetheless replete with lush, still moments. Many of the poems begin as meditations on loss and then transform themselves, thanks to the poet's awareness of the spaciousness and openness of the void following grief. The attention to rhythm and the...

The Illuminations
ISBN: 9781890650360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. With perfect pitch for contemporary readers, Donald Revell's new translation of The Illuminations offers all the immediacy, hallucinatory surreality, and wit of the intimate particularity that secured Rimbaud's position as a major poet renowned for his strangely seductive power and innocence. Rimbaud was a dangerous and exhilarating force whose break with literary forms and conventions changed forever the way poems would be read and written. Published with the French on facing pages and with an insightful afterward by the translator, Donald Revell plunges readers into the heart of Rimbaud's...

The Self-Dismembered Man: A Social History of the American Musical Theatre
ISBN: 9780819566911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Guillaume Apollinaire's final years exactly coincided with the clamorous advent of European Modernism and with the cataclysms of WWI. In The Self-Dismembered Man, poet Donald Revell offers new English translations of the most powerful poems Apollinaire wrote during those years: poems of nascent surrealism, of combat and of war-weariness. Here, too, is Apollinaire's last testament, "The Pretty Redhead," a farewell to the epoch that he--as poet, convict, art-critic, artilleryman and boulevardier--did so much to conjure and sustain until his death on Armistice Day in 1918. Readers of...
