Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three books reflect the beginnings of one of the most radical and exhilarating figures in modern literature Incandescent Limbo recounts White's years in Paris. Many a writer in the modern era had made Paris a focal point of his or her activity, but probably no one made more of it or got more out of it than Kenneth White. While exploring a labyrinthine underworld, the book is fundamentally an autoanalysis and traces the birth of the writer as an intellectual nomad. Letters from Gourgounel takes us from the city to a wild part of south-eastern France, the Ardèche, where White undertakes a resourcing in an elementary context. Hailed in England as a 'fascinating curiosity of literature', this book not only made White famous overnight in France, it was seen there as a turning point in the contemporary situation. In the third book, Travels in the Drifting Dawn, the intellectual nomad begins his moves across territories and cultures. After passing through the London underground of the sixties, then delving into the ground of his native Scotland and neighbouring Ireland, we shift back to the Continent, accumulating experience on different levels in France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, before concluding the cycle in North Africa. The trilogy is not only a summary of White's itinerary in its initial stages, it opens up a whole intellectual and cultural programme. Kenneth White is not only a convinced European Scot, but he renews the tradition of the medieval Scotus vagans ('wandering Scot'), an existence devoted to travelling and learning, finding and founding. After much moving about, he taught (1983-96) from a specially created Chair of Twentieth-Century Poetics at the Sorbonne. In 1989, he founded the International Institute of Geopoetics, the aim of which is to explore in depth the human and non-human habitation of the earth and the basis of live culture. On the Continent, his work, whether in essay, narrative or poem, has been awarded many prizes, among them the Prix Medicis Etranger and the French Academy's Grand Prix du Rayonnement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three collections of essays whose aim is to express the cartography and the experience of a live, open world If Kenneth White was keenly interested in early twentieth-century attempts to rescue his home territory, Scotland, from a heavy heritage of historicism, doldrums, flat realism (and its cousin, fantasticality), right from the start he was out for something more radically grounded, more intellectually incisive and culturally more coherent. The three books gathered here illustrate his initial movement on these lines in all its aspects, from politics to poetics. On Scottish Ground reveals the terrain to be explored, from geology and archaeology up, resituating figures such as David Hume, Patrick Geddes, Hugh MacDiarmid, as well as revisiting the works of scotic thinkers such as Duns Scotus and John Scot Erigena. Ideas of Order at Cape Wrath takes the exploration further. The word "wrath" here, taken by many to mean "anger", in fact goes back to the old Norse word signifying "turning point". White's turning point is not only geographical, it is fundamental. The third book, The Wanderer and his Charts, lays out the co-ordinates of the new space White has opened up. He may have left Scotland, but he has taken with him a lot of what we might call a quintessential Scotland, just as Joyce took with him an essential Ireland. Kenneth White is not only a convinced European Scot, but he renews the tradition of the medieval Scotus vagans ('wandering Scot'), an existence devoted to travelling and learning, finding and founding. After much moving about, he taught (1983-96) from a specially created Chair of Twentieth-Century Poetics at the Sorbonne. In 1989, he founded the International Institute of Geopoetics, the aim of which is to explore in depth the human and non-human habitation of the earth and the basis of live culture.

Download or read book The Collected Poems of Kenneth Koch written by Kenneth Koch and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Koch has been called “one of our greatest poets” by John Ashbery, and “a national treasure” in the 2000 National Book Award Finalist Citation. Now, for the first time, all of the poems in his ten collections–from Sun Out, poems of the 1950s, to Thank You, published in 1962, to A Possible World, published in 2002, the year of the poet’s death–are gathered in one volume. Celebrating the pleasures of friendship, art, and love, the poetry of Kenneth Koch has been dazzling readers for fifty years. Charter member–along with Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, and James Schuyler–of the New York School of poets, avant-garde playwright and fiction writer, pioneer teacher of writing to children, Koch gave us some of the most exciting and aesthetically daring poems of his generation. These poems take sensuous delight in the life of the mind and the heart, often at the same time: “O what a physical effect it has on me / To dive forever into the light blue sea / Of your acquaintance!” (“In Love with You”). Here is Koch’s early work: love poems like “The Circus” and “To Marina” and such well-remembered comic masterpieces as “Fresh Air,” “Some General Instructions,” and “The Boiling Water” (“A serious moment for the water is when it boils”). And here are the brilliant later poems–“One Train May Hide Another,” the deliciously autobiographical address in New Addresses, and the stately elegy “Bel Canto”–poems that, beneath a surface of lightness and wit, speak with passion, depth, and seriousness to all the most important moments in one’s existence. Charles Simic wrote in The New York Review of Books that, for Koch, poetry “has to be constantly saved from itself. The idea is to do something with language that has never been done before.” In the ten exuberant, hilarious, and heartbreaking books of poems collected here, Kenneth Koch does exactly that.

This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work introduces Kenneth White’s geopoetics as a radical, postmodern interdisciplinary and intercultural project that reclaims the return to communication with the earth, nature, wo-man, and the self as part of a cosmic unity approach. It traces geopoetics’ beginnings, key concepts, territories and trajectories, aims, and perspectives. Geopoetics is shown here to be a cosmopolitan project for a more open and harmonious world, which buries narrow-mindedness and offers new horizons.

Book excerpt: Ken Follett’s magnificent historical epic begins as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man’s world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson’s White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution. From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty, Fall of Giants takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families—and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .

Download or read book Across the Territories written by Kenneth White and published by Birlinn Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial mapping of this book might say that it goes from the Orkneys to Polynesia via Scandinavia and the Baltic regions, the Iberian peninsula, and North America. But Kenneth White's method is impossible to sum up: the thing is to get out on the road with him. Along with, for example, three Quebeckers from the St Lawrence river-country through the forest and along the coast of Maine, or with an eleven-century Jewish poet across Spain. Other chapters will take the reader to the haunts of migrating cranes in Sweden, the misty margins of Portugal, across the plains of Poland, into the Atlas mountains, or along the coast of Norway into the Lofotens. The book ends on the atoll of Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago, on a shore of dark jagged coral, wild bird cries and empty sea. The result of the whole complex process is an acutely increased sensation of life, a vastly enlarged experience of the world.
