Download or read book A Way to Summer written by Angelos KOUROS and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-25 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angelos Kouros' "a Way to Summer" is a wandering poetic narration of the summer in the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea, like a gentle breeze, just see the titles...it starts with Athens, Port of Piraeus and then the journey actually begins, Santorini follows, Amorgos, Rhodes, Milos and the poetic island hopping keeps on! But what happens there? His lyricism is not unbridled, it is controlled, it is sweet, everything he writes has no postcard character; he even has humor. This is very important as it is rare in our poetry to find humor, as we see the reader smiling in a discrete but relieving way. And on top of this smile, on top of the Greek summer, Kouros is building his own world where authentic poetry lives. It is a world that has the ideal size for our dreams: Santorini Our days in summer have the ideal size like blue jeans you first try on in a fitting room and the end of the leg comes right to the shoe as you do the last button of the fly you're looking down and it's getting dark at nine thirty in the evening. "Kouros is amusing (dare I say it), not in a sense of cheap entertainment, but in a vigorous and refreshing unfolding of a summer under the watchful eye of an essential symbolism, a subtle irony and a diffuse emotion. The narration is enjoyable throughout." -Literature Magazine "Poiein". "Poems you read and rejoice because you feel the divine light of summer redeeming you. Kouros describes summer as an erotic feeder account that makes you richer and richer..." - Literature Magazine "Poetix".

Book Synopsis Cartographies of Culture by : Damian Walford Davies
Download or read book Cartographies of Culture written by Damian Walford Davies and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartographies of Culture: New Geographies of Welsh Writing in English offers a pioneering new examination of the links between maps and imaginative writing. Concerned to draw literary studies and geography into a fruitful dialogue, the book offers a genuinely interdisciplinary study of literary texts in relation to the spatialities of culture. Taking the anglophone literature of Wales as its main ‘data field’, the book offers a boldly imaginative and stringently theorised analysis of five literary ‘maps’. What emerges is nothing less than a new way of reading literature through, and as, maps.

Book Synopsis Irish Poets and Modern Greece by : Joanna Kruczkowska
Download or read book Irish Poets and Modern Greece written by Joanna Kruczkowska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the perception of modern Greek landscape and poetry in the writings of Seamus Heaney and Derek Mahon. Delving into travel writing, ecocriticism, translation and allusion, it offers a fresh comparative link between Greek modernity and Irish poetry that counterbalances the preeminence of Greek antiquity in existing criticism. The first section, devoted to travel and landscape, examines Mahon’s modern perception of the Aegean, inspired by his travels to the Cyclades between 1974 and 1997, as well as Heaney’s philhellenic relationship with mainland Greece between 1995 and 2004. The second section offers a close analysis of their C. P. Cavafy translations, and compares George Seferis’ original texts with their creative rendition in the writings of the Irish poets. The book will appeal to readers of poetry as well as those interested in the interactions between Ireland and Greece, two countries at the extreme points of Europe, in times of crisis.

Download or read book The Art of Exile written by John Freely and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time he was six, John Freely had crossed the Atlantic four times. His childhood was spent on the mean streets of 1930s Brooklyn, where he scavenged for junk to sell and borrowed money for books; his first love being Homer's Odyssey. He was 15 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and 17 when he enlisted in the US Navy and embarked on the first great adventure of his life: joining a clandestine unit that helped the Kuomintang fight the Japanese. He served for two years, 96 days in combat and a total of 344 days overseas, which sparked a lifelong passion for travel. Returning home after the war, Freely fell in love with a beautiful girl who sang the blues. His own Penelope. Together they signed a blood pact to spend their life travelling the world. This unforgettable memoir takes the reader from the streets of New York to the corridors of provincial campus life; from World War II in the Pacific to the shores of the Bosphorus and from Ancient Troy to the isles of Dionysus and Ariadne. It is the story of a remarkable odyssey that has spanned nine decades, several continents and one great love.And still the odyssey continues, "as I ponder the meaning of an Ithaka and of exile as an art that takes a lifetime to master.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contextualizes Herman Melville’s short fiction and poetry by studying it in the company of the more familiar fiction of the 1850s era The study focuses on Melville’s vision of the purpose and function of language from Moby-Dick through Billy Budd with a special emphasis on how language—in function and form—follows and depends on the function and form of the body, how Melville’s attitude toward words echoes his attitude toward fish. Davis begins by locating and describing the fundamental dialectic formulated in Moby-Dick in the characters of Ahab and Ishmael. This dialectic produces two visions of bodily reality and two corresponding visions of language: Ahab’s, in which language is both weapon and substitute body, and Ishmael’s, in which language is an extension of the body—a medium of explanation, conversation, and play. These two forms of language provide a key to understanding the difficult relationships and formal changes in Melville’s writings after Moby-Dick. By following each work’s attitude toward the dialectic, we can see the contours of the later career more clearly and so begin a movement away from weakly contextualized readings of individual novels and short stories to a more complete consideration of Melville’s career. Since the rediscovery of Herman Melville in the early decades of this century, criticism has been limited to the prose in general and to a few major works in particular. Those who have given significant attention to the short fiction and poetry have done so frequently out of context, that is, in multi-author works devoted exclusively to these genres. The result has been a criticism with large gaps, most especially for works from Melville’s later career. The relative lack of interest in the poetry has left us with little understanding of how Melville’s later voices developed, of how the novels evolved into tales, the tales into poetry, and the poetry back into prose. In short, the development of Melville’s art during the final three decades of his life remains a subject of which we have been afforded only glimpses, rarely a continuous attention. After the Whale provides a new, more comprehensive understanding of Melville’s growth as a writer.
