Book excerpt: David Solway's new collection of poems is a profound and witty work by a grandmaster of English verse. In forms ranging from free verse to strict quatrains to sly "translations," the poems in Chess Pieces display an astonishing formal skill. These are poems of wit, elegance, and humour but, more darkly, they are also explorations of the play of power as enacted in the game of chess.
Book Synopsis Notes from a Derelict Culture by : David Solway
Download or read book Notes from a Derelict Culture written by David Solway and published by Black House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-08-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book elaborate an overall view of the central predicament confronting the West today: a theologically-inspired terrorist movement, the left-liberal belief-system that dominates the Western sensibility, the plague of political correctness that devitalizes language and obscures truth, and the almost universal opprobrium in which America—and by extrapolation the historical endowment of Western civilization—is held by the official institutions of the international community and by liberal culture. For too many years now we have practiced the rites of evasion, craving asylum in blindness, conciliation, sophistry and equivocation. Many flinch from expressing their convictions plainly, fearing to offend their readers and imperil their professional credentials. There is no more pressing requirement for us today than the obligation to seek the truth and to speak clearly, boldly, and without compromise, an endeavor with which this book is fundamentally engaged.

Book excerpt: "Hatred of the Jew is the perpetual vestige of Western resentment and vexation against its own civilizing imperative. This too was Winston Churchill's understanding of Jewish hatred, which he described as Western civilization's revolt against its own central values as manifested in art, science and political and religious institutions."
Book Synopsis Franklin's Passage by : David Solway
Download or read book Franklin's Passage written by David Solway and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003-11-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based upon the various conflicting accounts of John Franklin's calamitous attempt to complete and map the Northwest Passage, Franklin's Passage takes as its starting point a series of rhetorical questions posed by Henry David Thoreau in Walden: Is not our own interior white on the chart? Is it a North-West passage around this continent, that we would find? Are these the problems which most concern mankind? Is Franklin the only man who is lost? David Solway explores the concepts of narrative, parable, and allegory, treating the failed Expedition as an unfolding text in which the human adventure is subsumed and recorded, introducing the Expedition as a mirror in which the soul may see itself.
Download or read book The Boxthorn Tree written by David Solway and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National officials, press barons, journalists, Internetians, "Human Rights" agencies, public intellectuals and a growing segment of the vox populi are tapping increasingly into the poisoned aquifer of anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist feeling. Yet what is perhaps even more disconcerting is the comparable attitude of many in the Jewish community today, mainly of the Left, who have made common cause with their enemies, defamers and traducers. There is not much question that what we are observing is a pathology of the first magnitude, what the Talmudic sages called sin'at akhim, or brotherly hatred, an element of Jewish life sufficiently pronounced to merit a name of its own. This book redresses the cowardly rise of Jewish self-hatred.

Book excerpt: A biography of one of Canada's leading poets. Traces Acorn's roots in Prince Edward Island and shows that family, landscape, and the troubled shades of postcolonial society were continuous spurs to his creative life. Connects his self-perpetuated image as a working-class rebel, and his peculiar brand of communism, to his employment history and experience of war. His troubled relationships with family and friends, and his ill health, are explored as sources both of pain and inspiration. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Synopsis The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat by : David Solway
Download or read book The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat written by David Solway and published by Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane Editions. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sensuously defiant collection of new poems, the winner of the 2004 Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal expands and deepens a poetic ruse. In his critically acclaimed collections Saracen Island and Companion, David Solway took on the voice of a fictitious Greek poet named Andreas Karavis. The poems of these earlier two books were so artful and refreshingly immediate that many readers were convinced that they were authentic translations from the Greek. For The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat, a new book of ostensible translations, Solway adopts the persona of Karavis's spurned lover, Turkish Cypriot poet Nesmine Rifat and explores the aftermath of one of Karavis's love affairs. Lushly sexual and sparkling with wit and intelligence, these passionate lyrics take the form of undelivered letters, written by Rifat in the wake of Karavis's desertion and his eventual marriage to her rival Anna Zoumi. Solway portrays, with subtlety and sensitivity, a powerful woman and gifted poet undergoing a turbulent emotional journey. Moving from wrath and arrogant disdain, through bitterness and grief, to an acceptance of the love she cannot subdue, his female poet grows in both strength and art. As an intimate record of one woman's anguish, The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat is a remarkable achievement -- even more so when one recalls that the author is actually a man.
Download or read book Saracen Island written by David Solway and published by Historical Society of Alberta. This book was released on 2000 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andreas Karavis has been called Greece's modern Homer. This is the first time that his work has appeared in English, except for a poem in the Atlantic Monthly (October 1999) and a selection of poems which appeared with a feature article and interview in Books in Canada (October 1999). Andreas Karavis was born in 1932. His first book, White Poems appeared in 1965. His second volume, The Dream Masters was published in 1989, and rapidly established Karavis as one of the most "magisterial and patristic" poetry voices in the history of modern Greek literature. The title poem, generally considered to be Karavis' signature work, is included in almost every recent anthology and is a staple in university courses.

Book Synopsis This Is Not a Hoax by : Heather Jessup
Download or read book This Is Not a Hoax written by Heather Jessup and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Is Not a Hoax shows how the work of some contemporary artists and writers intentionally disrupts the curatorial and authorial practices of the country’s most respected cultural institutions: art galleries, museums, and book publishers. This first-ever study of contemporary Canadian hoaxes in visual art and literature asks why we trust authority in artistic works and how that trust is manifest. This book claims that hoaxes, far from being merely lies meant to deceive or wound, may exert a positive influence. Through their insistent disobedience, they assist viewers and readers in re-examining unquestioned institutional trust, habituated cultural hierarchies, and the deeply inscribed racism and sexism of Canada’s settler-colonial history. Through its attentive look at hoaxical works by Canadian artists Iris Häussler, Brian Jungen, and Rebecca Belmore, photographer Jeff Wall, and writers and translators David Solway and Erin Mouré, this book celebrates the surprising ways hoaxes call attention to human capacities for flexibility, adaptation, and resilience in a cultural moment when radical empathy and imagination is critically needed.
