Описание: "The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological and literary importance, containing the lions share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc. Jackson Crawfords modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping. With their individual headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply todays readers with most of what they need to know in order to understand and appreciate the beliefs, motivations, and values of the Vikings." --Dick Ringler, Professor Emeritus of English and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Wisconsin--Madison
Автор: Metellus Jean Название: When the Pipirite Sings: Selected Poems ISBN: 0810139782 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780810139787 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 15840.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: When the Pipirite Sings gathers poems by the noted Haitian poet, novelist, and neurologist Jean M?tellus, who died in January 2014. Along with other signature works, this volume includes the first English translation of M?tellus’s visionary epic poem, “Au pipirite chantant” (“When the Pipirite Sings”), widely regarded as his masterpiece.Translated by formidable comparative literature scholar Haun Saussy, When the Pipirite Sings expresses an acute historical consciousness and engages recurrent Haitian themes—the wrenching impact of colonialism and underdevelopment, the purposes of education, and the merging of spiritual and temporal power. And, as always with M?tellus’s poetry, the range of voices and points of view evokes other genres, including fiction and cinema. This eminently readable book has formal and thematic ties to Aim? C?saire’s Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, central to the canon of French-language postcolonial writings.In addition to many books of poetry, M?tellus published novels, chiefly about the remembered Haiti of his youth, and plays about the conquest of the Caribbean. His nonfiction included reflections on Haitian history and politics, on the iconography of slave emancipation, and studies of aphasia and dyslexia.

Описание: Una Marson's work embodied anti-colonialism, anti-racism, feminism, class politics and pan-Africanism in the first half of the twentieth century. Her poetry and dramatic work symbolically ushered in a new era in Jamaica's literary landscape and her efforts in championing early Jamaican literature, as well as her avid support for Caribbean writers in Britain and the region, made her a key proponent of the development of a national and West Indian literary canon. She challenged racial inequality, affirmed standards of black beauty and black identity, and explored the complexities of gender, religious discrimination and class/economic exploitation. She did not frame her work around a single cause but, instead, she was mindful of the multiple intersections of oppression. Britain's hold on Jamaica's cultural imagination would finally be challenged by artists like Marson who were eager to free their nation of colonial authority and cultural dominance. In the end, through her advocacy and pioneering work, Marson achieved a voice for the oppressed.

Описание: White Light: The Poetry of Alberto Blanco examines the interplay of complementary images and concepts in the award-winning Mexican writer's cycle of poems from 1979 to 2018. Blanco's poetic trilogy A la luz de siempre is characterized by its broad range of form and subject and by the poet's own eclectic background as a chemist, maker of collages, and musician. Blanco speaks the language of the visual arts, science, mathematics, music, and philosophy, and creates work with deep interdisciplinary roots. This book explores how polarities such as space and place, reading and writing, sound and silence, visual and verbal representation, and faith and doubt are woven through A la luz de siempre. These complements reveal how Blanco's poetry, like the phenomenon of white light, embraces paradox and transforms into something more than the sum of its disparate and polychromatic parts.

Описание: La estrategia critica del presente libro disena e introduce una compleja red de lecturas que lleva la ""absoluta modernidad"" del poeta chileno Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) hasta el horizonte de su absoluta futuridad. Los escritos huidobrianos son continuamente contemporaneos en un sentido extremo y urgente, e invitan a constantes reinterpretaciones y recontextualizaciones, tal como es el caso de los trece ensayos incluidos en este libro. De esta manera, La futuridad absoluta de Vicente Huidobro se basa en recientes trabajos teoricos y metodologicos realizados en las humanidades actuales y en las ciencias--incluyendose los estudios culturales, trasatlanticos, de los medios de comunicacion, la ecocritica, la teoria cuantica y la cosmologia, las artes visuales, la teoria politica, el psicoanalisis, la teoria del trauma, y la deconstruccion. La naturaleza exploratoria de este volumen abre nuevas areas de indagacion sobre la escritura practicada por Huidobro en la primera parte del siglo XX y que ahora (y manana) resulta(ra) igualmente o mas innovadora que ayer.

Автор: Gaudencio Rodriguez-Santana Название: The National Economy / Economia Nacional ISBN: 160940601X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781609406011 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 17550.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: For nearly three centuries, Cuba's economy was based on a single crop - sugar cane. After Fidel Castro's Revolution of 1959, despite serious attempts at diversification, the country continued to depend on the monocrop. Men and women cut cane by hand. City people who had never swung a machete spent long volunteer hours aiding the national effort. But the US embargo and diminishing international markets destroyed Cuba's economy. Gaudencio Rodríguez Santana's The National Economy explores that collapse and its physical, emotional and psychic consequences. It is a powerful, insightful collection of eye-witness poems by one of Cuba's most celebrated contemporary poets.
Автор: Cynthia Guardado Название: Cenizas: Poems ISBN: 0816546177 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780816546176 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 21250.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание:
Cenizas offers an arresting portrait of a Salvadoran family whose lives have been shaped by the upheavals of global politics. The speaker of these poems—the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants—questions the meaning of homeland as she navigates life in the United States while remaining tethered to El Salvador by the long shadows cast by personal and public history. Cynthia Guardado’s poems give voice to the grief of family trauma, while capturing moments of beauty and tenderness. Maternal figures preside over the verses, guiding the speaker as she searches the ashes of history to tell her family’s story. The spare, narrative style of the poems are filled with depth as the family’s layers come to light.
Guardado crafted the poems in Cenizas over a ten-year period, often traveling to El Salvador for research and to conduct interviews. The Salvadoran Civil War haunts the pages of this collection as it unflinchingly explores war, its aftermath, and the bittersweet legacies that are passed down from one generation to the next. The poems mourn those who were lost and honor the strength of the speaker’s ancestors. “All my people have been born from the ashes of volcanoes,” she writes, invoking a family lineage that has endured the atrocities committed against them. Even so, El Salvador keeps pulling the speaker back—and despite warnings of danger, she still manages to find beauty among the ruins.

The vision begins with a river. From this river, you can see a village, marine life, and ancestral rituals. It is here that you recognize origins, and a poison beginning to spread through paradise. Suddenly, a premonition: a wounded animal. The certainty of war cries. What you take with you is what you become, each movement a gamble, a lottery of life that transforms you until this moment, when uncertainty becomes an ally.
LoterÍa: Nocturnal Sweepstakes is a collection of deeply evocative coming-of-age poems that take the reader on a voyage through the intimate experiences of displacement. Conjuring dreamlike visions of extravagant fruits and rivers animated by the power of divination, these poems follow the speaker from the lash of war’s arrival through an urgent escape and reinvention in a land that saves with maternal instinct but also smothers its children.
In this bilingual collection, Colombian American poet Elizabeth Torres threads together the stories of family dynamics and the realities of migration with the archetypes of tarot and the traditional LoterÍa game, used for centuries as an object of divination and entertainment. Through these themes and images, the poems in LoterÍa narrate intimate moments in the lives and journeys of migrants, refugees, and all who have been forced into metamorphosis in order to reach the other side of the river.
Автор: Khalfa, Jean Название: Poetics of the antilles ISBN: 3034308957 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783034308953 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 86850.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The essays collected in this volume study the poetry and thought of four major Francophone Caribbean writers: Saint-John Perse, Aim? C?saire, Frantz Fanon and ?douard Glissant. In a context where identity was a question, an original conception of subjectivity appeared, as the end point rather than the origin of a process which was inseparably poetic and political. It entailed an aesthetics of dispersion or errance, rather than belonging. This volume thus questions the traditional teleological narrative of negritude as ‘renaissance’ or ‘awakening’. A careful look at the birth of different negritude movements shows the complexity of this history and explains Fanon’s philosophical and political critique of the notion. These writers’ astonishingly rich production rests on original aesthetic ideas and philosophical reflections which the vagaries of history and displacement, and their comparison with major metropolitan literary movements, had masked. Fanon’s thought is at the heart of the book, but this volume also traces the important debates these authors had with the major French thinkers of their time, notably Bergson, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze.
