Book excerpt: Recounted in a fast-moving, unrhymed free verse that both pauses and gallops, Ms. Rawlings pulls us back into the landscape and the culture of pre-Attic Greece. She makes us see how this tale might have unfolded if Penelope had been celebrated by Homer. She takes us on adventures that would confound even the cunning Odysseus, and brings herself and her daughters back intact to a husband who has been forever changed and a household that has survived her absence. It is a woman's tale unlike any that has ever been written and a high adventure.

Book excerpt: What makes this book most marvelous is not the rich conceit whereby Penelope finally gets in a few words, sharp as that conceit is (and as those words can be); nor is it the savory mouth-music of the language, gorgeous and resonant; nor is it the technical prowess manifest in rhymed couplets, echo verse, abecedarians, sonnets, and sonorous free verse-no, it is rather that this book is wise, and wise about precisely those things that are most important to us: "love, like a school / of fish practicing // their precarious / and fluid union," and time, which allows us "to slowly / weave the hours-a tapestry going nowhere, / except perhaps to inch towards / impertinence, a kind of quiet / resistance," and even the ineffable, which Mary Romero responds to with a single sentence: "And I thought your absence was the mystery." For is not presence the great mystery? Faced with such awe-filled softenings of the heart, readers may wonder whether they're ready to undertake the journey to which this book invites them, but they need not fear. When it comes to "the hazardous waters between // the mind and jagged heart," Romero's Penelope has this comfort to offer: "I have mapped that passage / with many crossings, my love, // clear enough for you / to sail it in my wake." -Stephen Kampa, author of Articulate as Rain and Bachelor Pad These dramatic monologues and lyric observations offer a profound re-vision of the familiar epic journey, most notably giving voice to the women of our story. They also provide a compelling challenge to the disposition that would privilege the "far-eyed Odysseus," choosing instead to honor all that dwells near-at-hand, the sacred matter immediately at-hand. These poems recover the specific savor of those persons, places, and things we touch, those beloved strands with which we weave our cosmos. -Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim: The Collected Poems and Anaphora I am both delighted and intrigued by these cleverly crafted poems. Not only does Mary Romero enter the forests of legend and ancient myth to find contemporary significance, she invites us into these explorations and kindles within the reader a kind of primal response. Her verses are both precise and elegantly styled, invitations for both reading and re-reading. -Luci Shaw, author of Angels Everywhere and The Generosity

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Russian Poetry written by Robert Chandler and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enchanting collection of the very best of Russian poetry, edited by acclaimed translator Robert Chandler together with poets Boris Dralyuk and Irina Mashinski. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, poetry's pre-eminence in Russia was unchallenged, with Pushkin and his contemporaries ushering in the 'Golden Age' of Russian literature. Prose briefly gained the high ground in the second half of the nineteenth century, but poetry again became dominant in the 'Silver Age' (the early twentieth century), when belief in reason and progress yielded once more to a more magical view of the world. During the Soviet era, poetry became a dangerous, subversive activity; nevertheless, poets such as Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova continued to defy the censors. This anthology traces Russian poetry from its Golden Age to the modern era, including work by several great poets - Georgy Ivanov and Varlam Shalamov among them - in captivating modern translations by Robert Chandler and others. The volume also includes a general introduction, chronology and individual introductions to each poet. Robert Chandler is an acclaimed poet and translator. His many translations from Russian include works by Aleksandr Pushkin, Nikolay Leskov, Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov, while his anthologies of Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida and Russian Magic Tales are both published in Penguin Classics. Irina Mashinski is a bilingual poet and co-founder of the StoSvet literary project. Her most recent collection is 2013's Ophelia i masterok [Ophelia and the Trowel]. Boris Dralyuk is a Lecturer in Russian at the University of St Andrews and translator of many books from Russian, including, most recently, Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry (2014).

Download or read book Eve of the Festival written by Olga Levaniouk and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eve of the Festival is a study of Homeric myth-making in the first and longest dialogue between Penelope and Odysseus (Odyssey 19). The author makes a case for seeing virtuoso myth-making as an essential part of this conversation, a register of communication which provides the speakers with a coded way of exchanging their thoughts. At the core of the book is a detailed examination of several myths in the dialogue to understand what is being said and to what effect. The dialogue is interpreted as an exchange of performances which have for their occasion the eve of Apollo's festival and which amount to activating, and even enacting, the myth corresponding within the Odyssey to this ritual event. --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Articulate as Rain written by Stephen Kampa and published by Waywiser Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. A collection that encompasses the Garden of Eden ("Something for Everything") and the end of the world ("Have It, Eat It"), ARTICULATE AS RAIN is an omnium-gatherum of tones, themes, prosodies, and poetic ploys. With characteristic comedy and surprising darkness, Stephen Kampa explores the relational aspects of our lives-love, faith, metaphysics, our civic selves-while revelling in the ranginess of the English language and in the music of its metrics. Yet for all its variety, this book reminds readers that countless raindrops can belong to the same storm. "What first impresses and finally astounds in Stephen Kampa's new collection is the unflagging richness of his invention and virtuosity of his execution, the way in which technical precision allows him to speak to us in an amazing variety of registers. We are privy to existential dilemmas and prone to collapsing in helpless laughter, sometimes on the same page. As was said of Ovid, Stephen does not know when to stop. Good for him and good for us." --Charles Martin "ARTICULATE AS RAIN, Stephen Kampa's latest collection, moves crisply between registers, sounding out 'the revelations / of rhythm' by which a man measures his life. Whether his subject is a tropical cyclone or an overflowing toilet, Kampa renders it with precision and wit, and each poem's intricate architecture expands or contracts to suit the occasion. Elegant, wise, and resolutely tender, these are songs of experience, and Stephen Kampa is a masterful singer." --Caki Wilkinson "Stephen Kampa's poems can 'count the seconds, click by weighted click, / As though they were the tumblers to a safe,' until what has been locked away in darkness-the musings of our moral and ethical lives-is revealed. His classically poised verses make a winningly modern music, and his recurring themes (also classical!) of lust and booze, culture shocks and attenuated verities have never been fresher. Ask Kampa's tattoo artist for the skinny: 'Fate, circumstances, physics, God-will pierce you / More times than you can count.' This book is a boon!" --David Yezzi

Download or read book Cracks in the Invisible written by Stephen Kampa and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Kampa’s poems are witty and restless in their pursuit of an intelligent modern faith. They range from a four-line satire of office inspirational posters to a lengthy meditation on the silence of God. The poems also revel in the prosodic possibilities of English’s high and low registers: a twenty–one line homage to Lord Byron that turns on three rhymes (one of which is “eisegesis”); a sestina whose end words include “sentimental,” “Marseilles,” and “Martian;” sapphics on the death of Ray Charles; and intricately modulated stanzas on the 1931 Spanish–language movie version of Dracula. Despite the metaphysical seriousness, there is always an undercurrent of stylistic levity — a panoply of puns, comic rhymes, and loving misquotations of canonical literature — that suggests comedy and tragedy are inextricably bound in human experience.
