Selected Poems : Collected Works of A.M. Klein
ISBN: 9780802077530 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Throughout his career A.M. Klein struggled to define for himself the role of the poet in the contemporary world. Deeply rooted in the traditions of Judaism, and at the same time powerfully attracted by the freedom and scope of international modernism, he sought to reconcile past and present, community and creative individuality. Whether or not he finally achieved his own high aims, it was, in his own words, 'something merely to entertain them.' The result was a body of work immensely rich and varied in tone, language, cultural resonance. This collection of eighty-four poems offers a... Throughout his career A.M.

Little Theatres: Teatrinos
ISBN: 9780887847288 / Angielski / Miękka / 95 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Erin Moure, a frequent nominee and winner of the Governor General's and other literary awards, is one of the most consistently innovative, imaginative poets at work in Canada. With each book, Moure seeks nothing less than to re-create the act of writing from the ground up. Little Theatres follows this approach, appearing at a timely crossroads, when we most need our language to come alive again. Like the water imagery that filigrees through this collection -- at once lingual exchange, submersion, balm, and sustenance -- Moure's multiplicity of voices is fluid, clear, animated, and as...

There'll Be Another delivers on the promise of the title: It is actually three books of poems in one, each offering the reader the unique new opening of an entirely different language. The first, Heavy-Hearted in Havana, is made up of a series of poems written during McFadden's sojourn in Cuba in the spring of 1994. His observations on the decaying realities of the populist revolution launched by Fidel Castro are coloured by one of the key poems in this section, "The Death of Greg Curnoe," a lament for the author's friend and collaborator who died in a cycling accident in 1992....

Cultural Mischief is a collection of prose poems on the hyperbolic absurdities of multiculturalism in action.

Limbo Road
ISBN: 9780889224018 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just as for Dante, for whom the image of the beloved gave entrance to a complete imagination of the world, an "imago mundi," the betrayal of a beloved can also shatter the poet's vision, no matter how elaborately conceived. Such a betrayal can turn the world upside down, where what was loved is now hated, what was benign becomes threatening, what was dangerous is embraced, what was worshipped is murdered, what was past is future. The author is cast adrift, to wander the earth from Tahiti to Prague, from Morocco to Miami, "in limbo" in a newly unknown world. Part divorce journal, part...
