Authorizing Petrarch

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kennedy, William John, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, Kennedy chronicles the process of Petrarch's canonization from the interpretive commentaries found in rare fifteenth- and sixteenth-century editions of Rime sparse through the imitative poetry of early modern writers in Italy, France, and England. The commentaries--each employing a different Petrarch to promote a different ideological paradigm--take a wide range of approaches to important contemporaneous issues relating to politics, class, religion, love, and gender relationships.

Down with the Ship

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murphy, Ryan, PUBLISHER: Otis Books/Seismicity Editions, Poetry. DOWN WITH THE SHIP is Ryan Murphy's first full-length collection of poetry. A staff member at the Academy of American Poets in New York, Murphy's work echoes a few other poets who've haunted that fair city-names like Berrigan and Ceravolo come to mind-but this is no mere derivative exercise. With a fine ear for cadence and an eye for the odd and illuminating line break, Murphy gleans the U.S. cultural landscape for both detritus and diamonds in the rough, emerging with a unique post-millennial blend of torqued language and affecting (if also disembodied) confession. In this beat-up world we can bat clean-up for the L.A. Dodgers and find joy in "That same old feeling,/a pop song" and yet at once concur that we fight darker thoughts, that "It is wrong/to want to punt/the child that wails/in the night." A fine debut.

Office Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Melfi, Mary, PUBLISHER: Guernica Editions, Ostensibly, Office Politics is about the modern workplace. It is about the relationship of the powerless to the powerful: the anxieties, tensions, frustrations, the daily psychological fare of those who have to satisfy the whims of bosses, work ever harder for the same pay (or less) while the snarling of the pit bulls of unemployment can be faintly heard through the ornate doors of the company fortress. Still, this is no sociological treatise set to free verse. Nor is it a lighthearted comedy a la Dolly Parton and Lilly Tomlin -- although the poet does refuse her sharp commentaries about office queens, workers (and drones) with humor. Poetry is the shorthand of universal messages.

Anglo-Saxon England

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clemoes, Peter A. / Biddle, Martin / Brown, Julian, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Place-names, charters, coins and manuscripts are among the forms of evidence studied in this second volume.

An important liturgical manuscript, the Bosworth Psalter, is more securely localized; the exemplars of the Vercelli Book and its probable area of origin are clarified. Several motifs in Old English literature are elucidated, and the influence of Christian doctrine on the poetry is considered in a survey of scholarly opinion and in a lively discussion on Beowulf. Bede??'s achievements as a scholar and teacher are examined years after his birth. The bibliography, noting all contributions to Anglo-Saxon studies in , continues the annual series begun in volume 1.

Larenopfer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zayas, Alfred / Rilke, Rainer Maria, PUBLISHER: Red Hen Press, Rene Maria Rilke was born in Prague on 4 December and died near Montreux in Switzerland, on 29 December . The foremost lyric German poet of the 20th century, he is remembered primarily for his "Duino Elegies," the "Sonnets to Orpheus," the "Neue Gedichte," the "Buch der Bilder," the "Stundenbuch," and the "Cornet." Although his mature poetry has been translated into many languages, his early poetry remains accessible only in the original German. This translation of the Larenopfer, or offerings to the Lares, the Roman household deities, are songs that Rilke sings to his hometown Prague and to his beloved Bohemia, short poems on the parks, fountains, churches, bridges and palaces of Prague, not forgetting Rabbi Low's legends, the Jewish cemetery, the Thirty Years' War and, of course, young love. This cycle of 90 poems offers the reader a unique view into Rilke's fascinating world, the turn-of-the-century atmosphere of Prague, then the third largest city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Here a young German of the ruling bourgeoisie shows great appreciation for contemporary Czech literary works and enthusiasm for the cause of Czech cultural identity. The Larenopfer possesses not only literary merit but is also of considerable sociological and historical interest.

Canciones del Que No Canta

And it is during this introspection that he discovers that nothing that is inherently human is alien to him. A discovery in which us, his readers, are both joyful participants and passengers to his personal voyage ???since Benedetti's poetry is, as should be the case with every example of this literary form, the launching pad for a journey to the deepest recesses of our souls.
