Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Machado, a school teacher and philosopher and one of Spain's foremost poets of the twentieth century, writes of the mountains, the skies, the farms and the sentiments of his homeland clearly and without narcissism: "Just as before, I'm interested/in water held in;/ but now water in the living/rock of my chest." "Machado has vowed not to soar too much; he wants to 'go down to the hells' or stick to the ordinary," Robert Bly writes in his introduction. He brings to the ordinary—to time, to landscape and stony earth, to bean fields and cities, to events and dreams—magical sound that conveys order, penetrating sight and attention. "The poems written while we are awake&…are more original and more beautiful, and sometimes more wild than those made from dreams," Machado said. In the newspapers before and during the Spanish Civil War, he wrote of political and moral issues, and, in 1939, fled from Franco's army into the Pyrenees, dying in exile a month later. When in 1966 a bronze bust of Machado was to be unveiled in a town here he had taught school, thousands of people came in pilgrimage only to find the Civil Guard with clubs and submachine guns blocking their way. This selection of Machado's poetry, beautifully translated by Bly, begins with the Spanish master's first book, Times Alone, Passageways in the House, and Other Poems (1903), and follows his work to the poems published after his death: Poems from the Civil War (written during 1936 – 1939).

Book Synopsis The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado's 'proverbios Y Cantares' by : Nicolás Fernández-Medina
Download or read book The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado's 'proverbios Y Cantares' written by Nicolás Fernández-Medina and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Machado (1875-1939) is one of Spain’s most original and renowned twentieth-century poets and thinkers. From his early poems in Soledades. Galerías. Otros poemas of 1907, to the writings of his alter-ego Juan de Mairena of the 1930s, Machado endeavoured to explain how the Other became a concern for the self. In The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” Nicolás Fernández-Medina examines how Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” a collection of short, proverbial poems spanning from 1909 to 1937, reveal some of the poet’s deepest concerns regarding the self-Other relationship. To appreciate Machado’s organizing concept of otherness in the “Proverbios y cantares,” Fernández-Medina argues how it must be contextualized in relation to the underlying Romantic concerns that Machado struggled with throughout most of his oeuvre, such as autonomy, solipsism and skepticism of absolutes. In The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” Fernández-Medina demonstrates how Machado continues a practice of “fragment thinking” to meld the poetic and the philosophical, the part and whole, and the finite and infinite to bring light to the complexities of the self-Other relationship and its relevance in discussions of social and ethical improvement in early twentieth-century Spain.
Download or read book This River Here written by Carmen Tafolla and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Antonio Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla captures her hometown — the city of her ancestors for the past three centuries — in poems that celebrate its history as a cosmopolitan multilingual cultural crossroads. Discover San Antonio’s corazón in Tafolla’s poetry, accompanied by historic and contemporary photographs that convey its enduring sense of place. The little river that has charmed so many rises at “the biological hub of the northern half of this hemisphere” (Dr. Karen Stothert) in a spring that Frederick Law Olmsted described as being “among the gems of the natural world.” A century ago, San Antonio gave Oscar Wilde “a thrill of strange pleasure.” J. Frank Dobie claimed that “every Texan has two hometowns — his own and San Antonio,” and Will Rogers declared it to be “one of the three unique cities of America.” To Larry McMurtry, “San Antonio has kept an ambiance that all the rest of our cities lack.” Carmen Tafolla calls forth the soul of this place — the holy home of the waters, called Yanaguana by los Indios — and celebrates the many cultures that have made of it “un rebozo bordado de culturas y colores.”

Book excerpt: Pandemia & Other Poems is a new scripture for the plague years. Unabashedly bi-lingual and pan-cultural, a creation myth in the face of destruction, a seed of renacimiento in our charred garden. It echoes the great Raza voices while reaching deep into far older roots as it leaps into the future. This is the real deal. -Luis Alberto Urrea
Book Synopsis The Poetry of Antonio Machado by : Xon De Ros
Download or read book The Poetry of Antonio Machado written by Xon De Ros and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a reappraisal of the contribution of the poet Antonio Machado to Modernism, seeking to open up new perspectives for the interpretation of his poetry, and includes for the first time a comparative analysis of Machado's translators into English. While the book is attentive to areas of recent critical debate, the argument keeps Machado's poems to the fore, with new detailed readings of many of his most significant poems. The reader will find that the structure of this book also allows for a separate exploration of each of Machado's main poetic tendencies. One associated with the Symbolist poetics is considered in Chapter I dealing with those early poems where the sound of water acquires a rich symbolic meaning. An emphasis on the visual imagination is more prevalent in the material studied in chapters II and III with a focus on the natural landscape, while the more conceptual and intellectual strand occupies Chapter IV. Every individual chapter begins with a brief introduction to the theoretical ground related to the specific discussion (on gender, space-place, the sublime, and translation, respectively), and a survey of the cultural discourses which situate the material under analysis in the original historical contexts.

Download or read book Book of the Cold written by Antonio Gamoneda and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK OF THE COLD is the long-overdue English translation of legendary Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda's 1992 long poem--a surreal, folkloric, modernist masterpiece between poetry and prose. "When a younger generation of Spanish poets began to awaken and stretch their creative limbs at the dawn of a post-Franco era, what they found, intensified by decades of resistance and years of silence, was the beacon of Antonio Gamoneda's mature poetry. His evocative sensual palette--the scent, feel, taste, and sound of conflicted experience, a lurching between the repellent and the irresistible--is virtually without comparison. But the real miracle of his work is how he combines that flashy richness with such syntactical concision, and with a folkloric strangeness peculiar to his work alone. The extraordinary translation by Katherine Hedeen and Victor Rodríguez Nuñez maintains the compression of the Spanish by often allowing the agency carried by a Spanish verb to be absorbed completely into the English verb. So, for example, 'Fingía un rostro' becomes 'Faked a face.' And so in English, as in Spanish, the verb, not the subject, controls the sentence."--Forrest Gander "Antonio Gamoneda's BOOK OF THE COLD, a long poem in the modernist tradition, is an undisputed masterpiece by Spain's greatest living poet. In this sensitive and alert translation, Hedeen and Nuñez have captured the epic sweep of Gamoneda's distinctive cadences, halfway between prose and verse. This translation, long overdue, will reveal the full extent of Gamoneda's genius to English-speaking readers."--Jonathan Mayhew Poetry. Translation.
Book Synopsis The Old House's Poet by : Antonio Marques
Download or read book The Old House's Poet written by Antonio Marques and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among so many old things inside the oldest large house of Terra Nova, Raquel finds many lost poems long forgotten in time. She also finds other poems in different places with various people. The starting point of this story is about the interest of the main character from this book into unclosing a mystery: Who is or who was the old house’s poet? Between this plot, one question we frequently ask ourselves. Are the time and the love a perfect couple or enemies? I advance that I have no answer for this question in this book, though the reader can reflect and get to their own conclusions. What we know is that in many cases the time can be a hope for those who seek to live a great love, that is, even if today the circumstances aren’t positive, it's waited to be living a great love with intensity on the long run. Now for others, time can be negative, since if love is too late it can be suffocated or even murdered by the social standards and the people who can’t accept the fact of two individuals living their love story, forbidden or not. The character Raquel will take the reader to a trip into the poems found in the old house. The said poet was depending exclusively on time to be able to live the great love of his life. He found on the poems a way to encode his messages, his desires and to proclaim the love he felt for his beloved. He suffered with the dismissal, the distance and the circumstance. On the other hand, he found joy in hope and the fact of being loved by his other half. Love and time. Two words that can mean so much. Passion and poetry also stand for strength and magic. Let the love lived by the poet shows you that many times we must fight to live the passion and not leave it for later, it can be too late. Learn with Raquel the significance of preserving the history of old times, but above all, of keeping alive a beautiful love story!
Book Synopsis Fields of Castile/Campos de Castilla by : Antonio Machado
Download or read book Fields of Castile/Campos de Castilla written by Antonio Machado and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master poet Antonio Machado y Ruiz is widely regarded as one of the twentieth-century’s greatest Spanish writers. His collection of poems celebrating the region of Castile made him one of the primary voices of the Generation of 1898 — a brilliant group of writers dedicated to Spain's moral and cultural rebirth after the Spanish-American War. Machado's lyrical Campos poems, tinged with nostalgic melancholy, are powerfully introspective and meditative, revealing an evolution away from his previously ornate, Modernist style. With these magnificent poems, Machado moved toward a simpler, more authentic approach that would later distinguish all of his works. This unabridged edition of Machado's landmark Campos de Castilla is presented in a dual-language format which features an excellent new translation on pages facing the Spanish original. A fully informative introduction and comprehensive notes by the translator are also included.

Book Synopsis Selected Poems of Anthony Hecht by : Anthony Hecht
Download or read book Selected Poems of Anthony Hecht written by Anthony Hecht and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alongside Wallace Stevens, James Merrill, and other pillars of twentieth-century poetry, Anthony Hecht joins the Borzoi Poetry series. Hecht, whose writing rings with the cadences of the King James Bible, and who, as an infantryman at the end of World War II, participated in the liberation of the concentration camps, lived and experienced the best and worst of the twentieth century. Readers of this volume—the first selected poems to be made from Hecht’s seven individual volumes—will be captivated by Hecht’s dark music and allusions to the literature of the past. As J. D. McClatchy explains in his introduction, Hecht was a poet for whom formal elegance was inextricably bound up with the dramatic force, thematic ambition, and powerful emotions in each poem. The rules of his art, which he both honored and transformed, are “moral principles meant finally to reveal the structure of human dilemmas and sympathies.” This elevated sense of what poetry can accomplish defines our experience of reading Hecht, and will ensure his place in the canon for years to come. Adam and Eve knew such perfection once, God’s finger in the cloud, and on the ground Nothing but springtime, nothing else at all. But in our fallen state where the blood hunts For blood, and rises at the hunting sound, What do we know of lasting since the fall? Who has not, in the oil and heat of youth, Thought of the flourishing of the almond tree, The grasshopper, and the failing of desire, And thought his tongue might pierce the secrecy Of the six-pointed starlight, and might choir A secret-voweled, unutterable truth? —from “A Poem for Julia”
