(P/B) THE WALKING-AWAY WORLD
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0078

The singular work of Kenneth Patchen has influenced poets, artists and political activists for decades. New Directions is proud to launch a Patchen revival beginning with omnibus editions of his unique compositions. Kenneth Patchen's last words to New Directions' founder James Laughlin were, "When you find out which came first, the chicken or the egg, you write and tell me." Patchen answered the riddle by painting "picture-poems." The Walking-Away World contains three of his picture-poem collections: Wonderings, Hallelujah Anyway, and But ...

(P/B) SEA, LAND, SHADOW
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0069

Poetry by Kazuko Shiraishi translated from the Japanese by Yumiko Tsumura. Sea, Land, Shadow, Kazuko Shiraishi's fourth collection with New Directions, contains work written from 1951 to 2015. Shiraishi, described by Donald Keene as "the outstanding poetic voice of her generation of disengagement in Japan," sees the world in a grain of rice and finds poetry in a mountain-road traffic jam. In the haunting title poem, she visits Iwanuma not long after the disastrous tsunami in 2011 and finds "no houses but a place where houses had been." Th...

(P/B) A SIMPLE HEART
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0019

In A Simple Heart, the poignant story that inspired Julian Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot, Felicite, a French housemaid, approaches a lifetime of servitude with human-scaled but angelic aplomb. No other author has imparted so much beauty and integrity to so modest an existence. Flaubert's "great saint" endures loss after loss by embracing the rich, true rhythms of life: the comfort of domesticity, the solace of the Church, and the depth of memory. This novella showcases Flaubert's perfectly honed realism: a delicate counterpoint of daily events...

(P/B) COLLECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0075

From the appearance in 1936 of Kenneth Patchen's first book, the voice of this great poet has been protesting war and social injustice, satirizing the demeaning and barbarous inanities of our culture - entrancing us with an inexhaustible flow of humor and fantasy. With directness and simplicity, he has restored the exultation of romantic love to its ancient bardic place beside an awareness of God's living presence among all men. Kenneth Patchen assembled this collection in his fifty-fourth year. Since space was the only restricting factor ...

(P/B) DERANGEMENTS OF MY CONTEMPORARIES
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0073

Ranging from the humorous and scathing to the evocative and strange, this ninth-century collection of list poems by the late Tang dynasty poet Li Shangyin documents one poet's scrutiny of his riotous times. Li gives a glimpse into the mundane experiences of the waning years of Chinese poetry's golden age, while providing an uncanny reflection of the minutiae of our own contemporary lives, loves, and irritations.

(P/B) THE CAPTAIN'S VERSES
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0006

Neruda finished writing The Captain's Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri - the paradisal setting (islands of Procida and Salina) of the Academy-Award-winning film Il Postino. Surrounded by the natural splendor of Capri, Neruda addressed these poems of love, ecstasy, devotion, and fury to his lover, Matilda Urrutia. Later the same year, Neruda published The Captain's Verses anonymously in an edition of fifty copies, fourteen years before he and Matilde legally married. The first "acknowledged" edition would not appear unti...

(P/B) DIRTY POEM
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0068

Poetry by Ferreira Gullar translated by Leland Guyer. Dirty Poem was written in 1975 in Buenos Aires when Ferreira Gullar was in political exile from the Brazilian dictatorship. An epic work, it draws on the poet's memories of his seaside adolescence during World War II and deals openly with the "dirty" shamefulness of a socioeconomic system that abuses its citizens with poverty, sexism, greed, and fear. The scholar Otto Maria Carpeaux wrote: "Dirty Poem deserves to be called 'National Poem' because it embodies all of the experiences, vict...

(P/B) BIG SUR AND THE ORANGES OF HIERONYMUS BOSCH
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0063

In his great triptych "The Millennium," Bosch used oranges and other fruits to symbolize the delights of Paradise. Whence Henry Miller's title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Miller's life on the Big Sur, a section of the California coast where he lived for fifteen years. Big Sur is the portrait of a place - one of the most colorful in the United States - and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (and writers who did not write), mystics seeking truth in meditation (...

(H/B) THE COMPLETE STORIES
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0050

The recent publication by New Directions of five Lispector novels revealed to legions of new readers her darkness and dazzle. Now, for the first time in English, are all the stories that made her a Brazilian legend: from teenagers coming into awareness of their sexual and artistic powers, to humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies, to old people who don't know what to do with themselves. Clarice's stories take us through their lives - and ours. From one of the greatest modern writers, these eighty-six stories,...

(P/B) IN QUEST OF CANDLELIGHTERS
POETRY AND PROSE
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0076

One of his most important and characteristic works, this new collection makes available two of Kenneth Patchen's long out-of-print books: Panels for the Walls of Heaven and They Keep Riding Down All the Time. Both were published in 1946; the first by Bern Porter in Berkeley, California, the second by Padell Publishers in New York. Also included are Patchen's only short story, "Bury Them in Cod," from New Directions 1939, and a section from an early version of Sleepers Awake, "Angel-Carver Blues." The rich variety of prose, poetry (concrete...

(P/B) IS THAT KAFKA?
99 FINDS
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0077

In the course of compiling his highly acclaimed three-volume biography of Kafka, while foraying to libraries and archives from Prague to Israel, Reiner Stach made one astounding discovery after another: unexpected photographs, inconsistencies in handwritten texts, excerpts from letters, and testimonies from Kafka's contemporaries that shed surprising light on his personality and his writing. Is that Kafka? presents the crystal granules of the real Kafka: he couldn't lie, but he tried to cheat on his high-school exams; bitten by the fitness...

(P/B) ILLUMINATIONS
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0009

The prose poems of the great French Symbolist, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), have acquired enormous prestige among readers everywhere and have been a revolutionary influence on poetry in the twentieth century. They are offered here both in their original texts and in superb English translations by Louise Varese. Mrs. Varese first published her versions of Rimbaud's Illuminations in 1946. Since then she has revised her work and has included two poems which in the interim have been reclassified as part of Illuminations. This edition also conta...

(P/B) PROFESSOR BORGES
A COURSE ON ENGLISH LITERATURE
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0055

Writing for Harper's Magazine, Edgardo Krebs describes Professor Borges: "A compilation of the twenty-five lectures Borges gave in 1966 at the University of Buenos Aires, where he taught English literature. Starting with the Vikings' kennings and Beowulf and ending with Stevenson and Oscar Wilde, the book traverses a landscape of 'precursors,' cross-cultural borrowings, and genres of expression, all connected by Borges into a vast interpretive web. This is the most surprising and useful of Borges's works to have appeared posthumously." Bor...

(P/B EIKO AND KOMA
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0067

For over thirty years, Eiko & Koma, the Japanese-born choreographers and dancers, have created an influential theatre of movement out of stillness, shape, light, and sound. In tribute and collaboration, the acclaimed American poet Forrest Gander has written a mesmerizing series of poems - hinging around a dance schematic - that captures and extends the dancers' performance with lyrical intensity and vividness. (From the publisher) "Two larval bodies naked with faces and seared straw in their hair hold our looking ...

(P/B) THESE ARE MY RIVERS
NEW & SELECTED POEMS 1955-1993
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0060

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, "one of our ageless radicals and true bards" (Booklist), has gathered here four decades of poetry in his inimitable everyman's voice, including more than fifty pages of new work. The tone has deepened over the years, and he may now be seen as a true maestro in his field. Behind the irresistible air of immediacy and spontaneity lies much erudition and an antic imagination intent on subverting "the dominant paradigm." From his earliest books, including his landmark Coney Island of the Mind, Ferlinghetti has written poe...

(P/B) ONE HUNDRED POEMS FROM THE CHINESE
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0042

The lyric poetry of Tu Fu ranks with the greatest in all world literature. Across the centuries - Tu Fu lived in the T'ang Dynasty (713-770) - his poems come through to us with an immediacy that is breathtaking in Kenneth Rexroth's English versions. They are as simple as they are profound, as delicate as they are powerful. Thirty-five poems by Tu Fu make up the first part of this volume. The translator then moves on to the Sung Dynasty (10th-12th centuries) to give us a number of poets of that period, much of whose work was not previously ...

(P/B) ONE HUNDRED MORE POEMS FROM THE CHINESE
LOVE AND THE TURNING YEAR
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0041

Kenneth Rexroth's translations of Chinese verse include "poems of love, reverie and meditation in the midst of nature." As in his earlier One Hundred Poems from the Chinese, he adds even a few more "for good measure and good luck." Love and the Turning Year includes a selection from the Yueh Fu - folk songs from the Six Dynasties Period (fourth-fifth centuries A.D.). Most of the songs are simple, erotic lyrics. Some are attributed to legendary courtesans, while others may have been sung at harvest festivals or marriage celebrations. In add...

NEW COLLECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: NEW DIRECTIONS BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2928-0011

Translated into fifty languages, perhaps no other poet since Pablo Neruda has had such an international presence in his own lifetime as Tomas Transtromer. The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems gathers all the poems Transtromer has ever published, from his dis-tinctive first collection in 1954,17 Poems, through his epic poem Baltics ("my most consis-tent attempt to write music") and The Sad Gondola, published six years after he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1990 ("I am carried in my shadow/like a violin/in its black case"), to his most ...
