The Waiting Room Reader, Volume 2: Words to Keep You Company
ISBN: 9781933880341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the introduction: "This book, the second in the Waiting Room Reader series, grows from the belief of its visionary originators, Joan Cusack Handler, director of CavanKerry Press, and Sandra O. Gold, president of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation for Humanism in Medicine, that one good thing to be able to pay attention to in waiting rooms is poetry. This is a belief that I, as guest editor of this volume, emphatically share. Poems with staying power are always themselves acts of attentiveness, and reading any good poem both demands and rewards attention. The job, then, is to make sure...

Merrill, Cavafy, Poems, and Dreams
ISBN: 9780472097197 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Merrill, Cavafy, Poems and Dreams is a collection that--as the title indicates--looks both outward and inward. It begins with essays on Greek poets from Homer to Ritsos, in which Rachel Hadas's knowledge of classical literature and her years in Greece richly inform the writing. The collection also includes a loving exploration of the work of poet James Merrill, who was a close personal friend of the author's.
The second half of the book combines explorations of various corners and horizons of the poetry scene, including neglected American poets and Hadas's thoughts on her own...

The Golden Road
ISBN: 9780810128590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A central theme of "The Golden Road" is the prolonged dementia of the poet s husband. But Rachel Hadas s new collection sets the loneliness of progressive loss in the context of the continuities that sustain her: reading, writing, and memory; familiar places; and the rich texture of a life fully lived. These poems are meticulously observed, nimble in their deployment of a range of forms, and capacious in their range of reference. They take us to a Greek island, to Carl Schurz Park in New York City, to an old house in Vermont, to a performance of "Macbeth, " and to the neurology floor of a...

Pass It on
ISBN: 9780691635729 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The poems in Rachel Hadas's new book are united by a common preoccupation with passage--passage variously construed. In Section I, the four seasons are glimpsed in turn through the lenses of several types of personal associations, especially parenthood. As spring gives way to fall and winter, separation looms; diverse kinds of temporary and permanent renewal come with spring, and the fifth poem in this section steps outside this cycle. In Section II, the phrase "pass it on" recalls the game "telephone," in which a word is whispered by one speaker to another. Here the poems focus on...

Halfway Down the Hall
ISBN: 9780819522511 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Rachel Hadas brings an acute perception and a rich education to her exquisitely crafted poetry. As James Merrill wrote, Hadas's "honeyed words and bracing forms . . . over and over bring the mind to its senses." Rooted in the domestic and illuminated by Hadas's lifelong engagement with classics, the poems gathered here, many in traditional forms, draw out the relationships between life, love, time and art. This collection will be welcomed by all who love Hadas's strongly etched lines and passionate intelligence.
