Poetry of Mourning: The Modern Elegy from Hardy to Heaney

Called the "mother of beauty" by Wallace Stevens,death has been perhaps the favorite muse of modern poets. From Langston Hughes's lynch poems to Sylvia Plath's father elegies,modern poetry has tried to find a language of mourning in an age of mass death,religious doubt,and forgotten ritual. For this reason,Jahan Ramazani argues,the elegy,one of the most ancient of poetic genres,has remained one of the most vital to modern poets. Through subtle readings of elegies,self-elegies,

The Poetry of Thought: From Hellenism to Celan (Hardcover)

With his hallmark forceful discernment,George Steiner presents in The Poetry of Thought his magnum opus: an examination of more than two millennia of Western culture,staking out his claim for the essential oneness of great thought and great style. Sweeping yet precise,moving from essential detail to bracing illustration,Steiner spans the entire history of philosophy in the West as it entwines with literature,finding that,as Sartre stated,in all philosophy there is “a hidden literary prose.”

Landscape with Rowers: Poetry from the Netherlands

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coetzee, J. M., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, Though the Netherlands has been the site of vigorous literary activity since at least the "Beweging van Vijftig" (Movement of the Fifties) poets, the status of Dutch as a "minor" language spoken by only twenty-two million people has kept its rich poetry more or less a secret. This volume--featuring J. M. Coetzee's finely wrought English translations side-by-side with the originals--brings the work of six of the most important modern and contemporary Dutch poets to light. Ranging in style from the rhetorical to the intensely lyrical, the work here includes examples of myth-influenced modernist verse, nature poetry, experimental poetry, poems conscious of themselves within a pan-European avant-garde, and Cees Nooteboom's uncompromising reflections on the powers and limitations of art. In addition to Nooteboom, the poets represented are Gerrit Achterberg, Hugo Claus, Sybren Polet, Hans Faverey, and Rutger Kopland--a who's who of contemporary Dutch poetry. In "Youth," Coetzee's main character claims that "of all nations the Dutch are the dullest, the most antipoetic." With these marvelous translations, the author proves his protagonist wrong.
