Book excerpt: New European Poets presents the works of poets from across Europe. In compiling this landmark anthology, Wayne Miller and Kevin Prufer enlisted twenty-four regional editors to select 270 poets whose writing was first published after 1970. These poets represent every country in Europe, and many of them are published here for the first time in English and in the United States. The resulting anthology collects some of the very best work of a new generation of poets who have come of age since Paul Celan, Anna Akhmatova, Federico García Lorca, Eugenio Montale, and Czeslaw Milosz.

Download or read book New Women Poets written by Carol Rumens and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None of the new women poets in this anthology has yet published a book, yet they include some of the most original new voices of the Nineties. Most have already been widely published in magazines, and some have won major literary prizes. All are now at the point of producing first collections which will help set the tone of poetry in the new decade, with poems that are passionate and precise, subtle and skilful, sardonic and streetwise, acure, aware or quietly moving.'The whole notion that women poets can be legitimately grouped in this way, and that gender is almost a symbolic form of nationality, owes everything to the Women's Movement, and the literary revolution it created. The very fact that such a book as this can be published at all proves the success of that revolution. Any amassing of women's voices will amount to a fairly radical critique of current society. It is up to the reader to decide that that critique is.' - Carol RumensThe poets included are: Rachel Blake, Vuywelwa Carlin, Liz Cashdan, Janet Fisher, Linda France, Cynthia Fuller, Elizabeth Garrett, Adèle Geras, Angela Greene, Lavinia Greenlaw, Fiona Hall, Tracey Herd, Jackie Kay, Mimi Khalvati, Gwyneth Lewis, S.J. Litherland, Christine McNeill, Jill Maughan, Mary O'Donnell, Katrina Porteous, Anne Rouse, Eva Salzman, Linda Saunders, Christiania Whitehead, Briar Wood.
Book Synopsis Indo-European Poetry and Myth by : M. L. West
Download or read book Indo-European Poetry and Myth written by M. L. West and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indo-Europeans, speakers of the prehistoric parent language from which most European and some Asiatic languages are descended, most probably lived on the Eurasian steppes some five or six thousand years ago. Martin West investigates their traditional mythologies, religions, and poetries, and points to elements of common heritage. In The East Face of Helicon (1997), West showed the extent to which Homeric and other early Greek poetry was influenced by Near Eastern traditions, mainly non-Indo-European. His new book presents a foil to that work by identifying elements of more ancient, Indo-European heritage in the Greek material. Topics covered include the status of poets and poetry in Indo-European societies; metre, style, and diction; gods and other supernatural beings, from Father Sky and Mother Earth to the Sun-god and his beautiful daughter, the Thunder-god and other elemental deities, and earthly orders such as Nymphs and Elves; the forms of hymns, prayers, and incantations; conceptions about the world, its origin, mankind, death, and fate; the ideology of fame and of immortalization through poetry; the typology of the king and the hero; the hero as warrior, and the conventions of battle narrative.

Book Synopsis Six Slovenian Poets by : Brane Mozetič
Download or read book Six Slovenian Poets written by Brane Mozetič and published by ARC Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Six Slovenian Poets' is the first in a new series of bilingual anthologies which brings the work of a younger generation of poets from across Europe to a wider English-language readership, a series which aims to keep a finger on the pulse of the 'here-and-now' of European poetry. The six poets represented here -- three men and three women -- are all under 40, have all been published for the first time within the past decade, and all (though in very different ways) break with, and re-evaluate, the Slovenian literary tradition. This tradition is outlined in the informative introduction to the anthology by Ales Debeljak, from which is becomes clear that these young poets may have more in common with their peers from the rest of Europe and North America than with their Slovenian forebears. Energetic, unexpected, at times hard-hitting, this volume makes for an exciting and thought-provoking beginning to the 'New Voices from Europe and Beyond' anthology series.
Download or read book Six Polish Poets written by Jacek Dehnel and published by ARC Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Polish Poets makes available to the English-language reader the poetry of the younger generation of poets who whose first collections (with one exception) have been published in the past decade. Unlike the poets of the previous generation who, in the period of new-found freedom after the fall of communism, adopted a highly individualistic, anarchic, sometimes brutal style, the poets represented here re-examine and experiment with traditional poetic forms, themes and cultural references in poems that are refined and witty, moving and informed, ranging across every aspect of human existence. This anthology is both thought-provoking and full of warmth and humanity, and while it cannot claim to be representative of contemporary Polish poetry as a whole, it nevertheless provides an insight into today's literary scene in Poland.

Book Synopsis Literary Publishing in the Twenty-First Century by : Travis Kurowski
Download or read book Literary Publishing in the Twenty-First Century written by Travis Kurowski and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gutenberg’s invention of movable type in the fifteenth century introduced an era of mass communication that permanently altered the structure of society. While publishing has been buffeted by persistent upheaval and transformation ever since, the current combination of technological developments, market pressures, and changing reading habits has led to an unprecedented paradigm shift in the world of books. Bringing together a wide range of perspectives—industry veterans and provocateurs, writers, editors, and digital mavericks—this invaluable collection reflects on the current situation of literary publishing, and provides a road map for the shifting geography of its future: How do editors and publishers adapt to this rapidly changing world? How are vibrant public communities in the Digital Age created and engaged? How can an industry traditionally dominated by white men become more diverse and inclusive? Mindful of the stakes of the ongoing transformation, Literary Publishing in the 21st Century goes beyond the usual discussion of 'print vs. digital' to uncover the complex, contradictory, and increasingly vibrant personalities that will define the future of the book.

Book Synopsis Into the Heart of European Poetry by : John Taylor
Download or read book Into the Heart of European Poetry written by John Taylor and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Taylor's brilliant new book examines the work of many of the major poets who have deeply marked modern and contemporary European literature. Venturing far and wide from the France in which he has lived since the late 1970s, the polyglot writer-critic not only delves into the more widely translated literatures of Italy, Greece, Germany, and Austria, but also discovers impressive and overlooked work in Slovenia, Bosnia, Hungary, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands in this book that ranges over nearly all of Europe, including Russia. While providing this stimulating and far-ranging critical panorama, Taylor brings to light key themes of European writing: the depth of everyday life, the quest of the "thing-in-itself," metaphysical aspiration and anxiety, the dialectics of negativity and affirmation, subjectivity and self-effacement, and uprootedness as a category that is as ontological as it is geographical, historical, political, or cultural. The book pays careful attention to the intersection of writing and history (or politics), as several poets featured here have faced the Second World War, the Holocaust, Communism, the fall of Communism, or the war in the former Yugoslavia. Taylor gives the work of renowned, upcoming, and still little-known poets a thorough look, all the while scrutiniing recent translations of their verse. He highlights several poets who are also masters of the prose poem. He includes a few novelists who have fashioned a particularly original kind of poetic prose, that stylistic category that has proved so difficult for critics to define. Into the Heart of European Poetry should be of immediate interest to any reader curious about the aesthetic and philosophical ideas underlying major trends of contemporary European writing. John Taylor has lived in France since 1977. A frequent contributor to the Times Literary Supplement, Context, the Yale Review, the Michigan Quarterly Review, and the Antioch Review (in which he writes the âPoetry Todayâ column), he has introduced numerous European writers and poets to English readers, often for the first time. Some of his works include The Apocalypse Tapestries, a book of poetry and prose based on the tapestries in the Chateau of Angers, and Paths to Contemporary French Literature (Volumes 1 and 2).
