Morning in the Burned House
ISBN: 9780395825211 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These beautifully crafted poems - by turns dark, playful, intensely moving, tender, and intimate - make up Margaret Atwood's most accomplished and versatile gathering to date, " setting foot on the middle ground / between body and word." Some draw on history, some on myth, both classical and popular. Others, more personal, concern themselves with love, with the fragility of the natural world, and with death, especially in the elegiac series of meditations on the death of a parent. But they also inhabit a contemporary landscape haunted by images of the past. Generous, searing, compassionate,...

ISBN: 9780395925706 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Selected by Peter Davison with an introduction by Edward Hirsch.

His poetry gave back to life more generously than he had received, and carried his beautiful wit into darkness undimmed." Now Sissman's longtime editor,...

In the Shadows of Divine Perfection : Derek Walcott's Omeros
ISBN: 9780415968041 / Angielski / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an examination of Derek Walcott's Omeros (1990) - the St. Lucian poet's longest work and the piece that secured his Nobel Laureate - that reveals the deep-seated bond between the root narratives of ancient Greece to the cultural products and practices of the contemporary Caribbean. It presents a detailed reading of Walcott's highly controversial attempt to craft a Caribbean master narrative. Callahan shows that the poem's most common figures are ancient Aeolic and Sapphic feet. Also common in calypso lyrics, these metrical features suggest an ambiguity where some critics have found a...

In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published a book of dramatic monologues written in free verse about a fictional town called Spoon River, based on the Midwestern towns where he grew up.

Spoon River, as undeniably corrupt and cruel as the big city, is home to murderers, drunkards, crooked...
