Book Synopsis Beast of Joy by : Mariangela Gualtieri
Download or read book Beast of Joy written by Mariangela Gualtieri and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian by Anthony Molino and Chrstinia Viti. Mariangela Gualtieri is one of Italy's admired lyrical poets. BEAST OF JOY, with selections from her six collections of verse, is her first book in English. "Gualtieri has put on the clothes, or if you prefer, assumed the role of a female St. Francis, with a dedication that leaves no doubt regarding the urgency and depth of her poetry. The result is one of the most impassioned odes to the universe and to creation that one could hope to find in these days."--Professor Nicola Gardini, Oxford University "Mariangela Gualtieri is widely admired in ltaly for her inspired and dynamic performances of her own poems and of those many masterpieces of the tradition that she carries by heart within her. With BEAST OF JOY, Anthony Molino and Cristinia Viti introduce English-language readers to a generous selection of her meditations on the many seasons of her life: here she celebrates with fear, wonder and an ever-present sense of jubilation, the gravity of age, the lightness of the clouds."--Susan Stewart "BEAST OF JOY is a book that celebrates permanence: that which, in the throes of dissolution, echoes across time and demands of us the words whereby duration is made possible. In so doing, Gualtieri takes us into the very heart of nature and reveals its archetypes, supporting structures and foundations, all scripted in the vibrant palpitations of the lyrical force of her language."--Milo de Angelis "Mariangela Gualtieri is a poet of great incandescence who writes with searing honesty and compassion. A veteran of the theater, Gualtieri possesses a voice that can be thunderous and oracular, but also painfully intimate. BEAST OF JOY is a beautifully translated introduction to one of Italy's finest contemporary poets."--Olivia E. Sears, founder of The Center for the Art of Translation

Book excerpt: Poetry. Fiction. This volume combines two separate books by Antonio Porta (1935-1989), one of the most original and provocative writers of modern Italy. The first book is KISSES FROM ANOTHER DREAM, a series of tough poetic commentaries, uninhibited and sometimes shocking.

In his monumental study, The Western Canon, Harold Bloom lists KISSES FROM ANOTHER DREAM as one of the influential books of recent 20th-century Italian literature.

Two eccentric squatters in an abandoned house wage psychological war with one another; the house is in Naples, in a desolate earthquake zone, and teetering on collapse. Reminiscent of Waiting for Godot, The Caretaker and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?, EMERGENCY EXIT lingers between hope and despair, nostalgia and cynicism, enjoyment of life and anticipation of a bad end. "Santanelli's work is some of the finest I've seen in years. It is, indeed, extraordinary, intended for audiences who hunger for the rare and the beautiful." Eugene Ionesco"

Book Synopsis Positioning the New by : Elisabetta Marino
Download or read book Positioning the New written by Elisabetta Marino and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking edited volume includes chapters which explore the past, present and future position of Chinese American authors within the framework of what Harold Bloom identifies as the “Western literary canon.” These selections, which simultaneously represent the exciting “transnational turn” in American literary studies, not only examine whether or not Chinese American literature is inside or outside the canon, but also question if there is, or should be, a literary canon at all. Moreover, they dissect the canonicity of Chinese American literature by elucidating the social, political and cultural implications of inclusion in the canon. Ultimately, however, this collection is designed as a preliminary step towards exploring the impact of Chinese American literature on the white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant-dominated American literary world, and probing the by-products of both cultural fusion and cultural collision.

Book Synopsis No Part to Play by : Maurizio Cucchi
Download or read book No Part to Play written by Maurizio Cucchi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Translated from the Italian by Michael Palma. NO PART TO PLAY is a bilingual selection from eight collections of verse: Il disperso / The Missing (1976), Le meraviglie dell'acqua / The Wonders of Water (1980), Glenn (1982), Donna del gioco / Mistress of the Game (1987), Poesia della fonte / Poetry of the Source (1993), L'ultimo viaggio di Glenn / Glenn's Last Journey (1999), Per un secondo o un secolo / By a Second or a Century (2003) and Vite pulvicolari / Dusty Lives (2009). "Cucchi's poetry is notable for its even tone, its avoidance of stylistic excess and rhetorical extravagance... His preference is to let descriptions, and their juxtapositions, speak for themselves, without preaching or hectoring, without pointing a moral or adorning a tale. Like Eliot's The Waste Land], Cucchi's work includes such characteristics as historical references, literary allusions and quotations, and the intermingling of these elements with disturbing personal experiences. Another central point of contact is each poet's procedure through an accretion of fragments, creating a kaleidoscope of scenes and incidents and a medley of shifting voices." from the Introduction by translator Michael Palma "Cucchi's poetry posed and poses the problem of the friction between autobiography and impersonality, between concealment and exposure, between lyrical writing and narrative modes, between realism and oneiric vision, between a renunciative and nihilistic inclination and a positive and ethical vocation, between, better still, a private and solitary numbness and an epical determination for ordinary life." Alba Donati"
