Gabriela Mistral
Selected Poems of Gabriela Mistral (Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe first Nobel Prize in literature to be awarded to a Latin American writer went to the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. Famous and beloved during her lifetime all over Latin America and in Europe, Mistral has never been known in North America as she deserves to be. The reputation of her more flamboyant and accessible friend and countryman Pablo Neruda has overshadowed hers, and she has been officially sentimentalized into a `poetess` of children and motherhood. Translations, and even selections of her work in Spanish, have tended to underplay the darkness, the strangeness, and the raging intensity of her poems of grief and pain, the yearning power of her evocations of the Chilean landscape, the stark music of her Round Dances, the visionary splendor of her Hymns of America. During her lifetime Mistral published four books: Desolation, Tenderness, Clearcut, and Winepress. These are included in the `Complete` Nobel edition published in Madrid, the Poem of Chile, her… [detailed...]

Osip Mandelstam
Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam (New York Review Books Classics)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Osip Mandelstam is a central figure not only in modern Russian but in world poetry, the author of some of the most haunting and memorable poems of the twentieth century. A contemporary of Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetayeva, and Boris Pasternak, a touchstone for later masters such as Paul Celan and Robert Lowell, Mandelstam was a crucial instigator of the `revolution of the word` that took place in St. Petersburg, only to be crushed by the Bolshevik Revolution. Mandelstam`s last poems, written in the interval between his exile to the provinces by Stalin and his death in the Gulag, are an extraordinary testament to the endurance of art in the presence of terror. This book represents a collaboration between the scholar Clarence Brown and W. S. Merwin, one of contemporary America`s finest poets and translators. It also includes Mandelstam`s `Conversation on Dante,` an uncategorizable work of genius containing the poet`s deepest reflections on the nature of the poetic process. [detailed...]

Czeslaw Milosz
Selected Poems: 1931-2004

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Selected Poems: 1931-2004 celebrates Czeslaw Milosz`s lifetime of poetry. Widely regarded as one of the greatest poets of our time, Milosz is a master of expression and probing inquiry. Life opened for Czeslaw Milosz at a crossroads of civilizations in northeastern Europe. This was less a melting pot than a torrent of languages and ideas, where old folk traditions met Catholic, Protestant, Judaic, and Orthodox rites. What unfolded next around him was a century of catastrophe and madness: two world wars, revolutions, invasions, and the murder of tens of millions, all set to a cacophony of hymns, gunfire, national anthems, and dazzling lies. In the thick of this upheaval, wide awake and in awe of living, dodging shrapnel, imprisonment, and despair, Milosz tried to understand both history and the moment, with humble respect for the suffering of each individual. He read voraciously in many languages and wrote masterful poetry that, even in translation, is infused with a… [detailed...]

Selected Poems

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Drawing from every stage of his career, Derek Walcott`s Selected Poems brings together famous pieces from his early volumes, including `A Far Cry from Africa` and `A City`s Death by Fire,` with passages from the celebrated Omeros and selections from his latest major works, which extend his contributions to reenergizing the contemporary long poem. Here we find all of Walcott`s essential themes, from grappling with the Caribbean`s colonial legacy to his conflicted love of home and of Western literary tradition, from the wisdom-making pain of time and mortality to the strange wonder of love, the natural world, and what it means to be human. We see his lifelong labor at poetic crafts, his broadening of the possibilities of rhyme and meter, stanza forms, language, and metaphor. Edited and with an introduction by the Jamaican poet and critic Edward Baugh, this volume is a perfect representation of Walcott`s breadth of work, spanning almost half a century. [detailed...]

Selected Poems

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The first selected poems of a major poet who `wrote with more heart than any other North American poet of the twentieth century` (Rodney Jones, Parnassus ) More than any other poet of his generation, James Wright spoke to the great sadness and hope that are inextricable from the iconography of America: its rail yards, rivers, cities, and once vast natural beauty. Speaking in the unique lyrical voice that he called his `Ohioan,` Wright created poems of immense sympathy for sociey`s alienated and outcast figures and also of ardent wonder at the restorative power of nature. Selected Poems fills a significant gap in Wright`s bibliography: that of an accessible, carefully chosen collection to satisfy bothlongtime readers and those just discovering his work. Edited and with an introduction by Wright`s widow, Anne, and his close friend the poet Robert Bly, who also wrote an introduction, Selected Poems is a personal, deeply… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThis generous selection of Mona Van Duyn’s distinguished, award-winning work spans four decades. Beginning with her classic Valentines to the Wide World (1959), encompassing the intimate voice of Bedtime Stories (1972)and the moving Letters from a Father (1982), crowned by the life-spanning Firefall (1993), Selected Poems reacquaints us with a poet whose ear is keenly tuned to the music of nature and human conversation. In lively and varied forms,from her minimalist sonnets to her magisterial longer pieces, Van Duyn captures a multiplicity of worlds within her world, in a tone inflected by both Midwestern pragmatism and a deep metaphysical intelligence. As she contemplates the act of reading in bed, a Rhenish sculpture in the Cloisters, or the loss of her mother, the poet goes beyond context to discover consciousness: an expression of the larger ideas and emotions—finally, the art—in the smallest details of our… [detailed...]
