(P/B) HOTEL LAUTREAMONT
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0052

The Count of Lautreamont - a nineteenth-century poet about whom little is known, except that he spent his brief adult life in various hotels in Paris, checking out of his transient existence at the age of 24 - is one of the forgotten presences alive in John Ashbery's collection. Hotel Lautreamont includes the poems and sequences he wrote during composition of his enormous poem Flow Chart, published in 1991 to great critical puzzlement and acclaim. The title poem 'experiments' in pantoum form; and there are other demanding formal challenges...

(P/B) SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0002

John Ashbery is the author of more than twenty books of poetry. He is the recipient of many honours, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and a MacArthur 'genius' award. Born in Rochester, New York, he was educated at Harvard and Columbia. In 1955 he went to France on a Fulbright Scholarship and spent much of the next decade there, including several years as art critic of the International Herald Tribune and Paris correspondent of ArtNews magazine. Ashbery's research on the life and works of Raymond Roussel (1877-1933) re...

(P/B) THE BRONTE SISTERS: SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0064

Although The Brontes have long fascinated readers of fiction and biography, their poetry was all too little known until this pioneering selection by Stevie Davies, the novelist and critic. Charlotte (1816-1855) is certainly a competent poet, and Anne (1820-1849) developed a distinctive voice, while Emily (1818-1848) is one of great women poets in English. All three sisters, as Stevie Davies remarks in her introduction, were Romantic in inspiration, writing poetry of passionate personal feeling and of pure imagination. They share certain t...

THE NEW YORK POETS II
FROM EDWIN DENBY TO BERNADETTE MAYER
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0038

Mark Ford's The New York Poets: an anthology, selections from the work of John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler, provided an exhilarating introduction to the innovations of the 'New York school'. New York Poets II celebrates its continuing vitality. The painter and writer Trevor Winkfield, who has worked in New York since the 1960s, joins Mark Ford in mapping this radical space. After a general preface, each selection from the eleven poets is preceded by an introduction; the bibliography provides a guide to major pub...

(P/B) HITTING THE STREETS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0063

Unreeling like a series of film clips recorded during a stroll through Paris, Raymond Queneau’s Hitting the Streets is wickedly funny. It is also a bittersweet meditation on the effects of time and memory. Hitting the Streets is Queneau’s love letters to Paris - a Paris that is always in the process of becoming obsolete. This lively, idiomatic version is the first complete translation available in English. (From the publisher)...

WILLIAMS: COLLECTED POEMS (VOLUME 1)
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0036

The poems are printed in the order of their original publication, starting with The Tempers (1913) and ending with Poems 1936-1939.

(P/B) A WORLDLY COUNTRY
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0050

John Ashbery's new collection speaks from the haunted, ambiguous cities of the twenty-first century. These are the landscapes of the worldly country we have created, both ominous and absurd. Perspectives dissolve into dazzle. The clock is ticking: we are on the wrong set and the cameras are rolling. Ashbery's supple, vigorous idiom conjures an unpredictable world, astonished by moments of piercing directness: the pause to share a winter pear, the sudden apprehension that the places we left fallow 'will be cultivated by another'. A Worldly ...

(P/B) ZOOLOGY
POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0075

Zoology is Gillian Clarke's ninth Carcanet collection, following her T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted Ice. The collection opens with a glimpse of hare, whose 'heartbeat halts at the edge of the lawn', holding us 'in the planet of its stare'. Within this millisecond of mutual arrest, a well of memories draws us into the Welsh landscape of the poet's childhood: her parents, the threat of war, the richness of nature as experienced by a child. In the second of the collection's six parts we find ourselves in the Zoology Museum, whose specimens sta...

(P/B) PLANISPHERE
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0060

Even after half a century of amazing readers, John Ashbery continues to delight and challenge with his inventiveness. Planisphere takes the reader on a dizzying journey in the company of a virtuoso and sorcerer who makes the commonplace magical, disorientates and teases, and conjures glimpses of ‘horizons... bright and anxious’: ‘a space like a dream’. Planisphere restores to us a sense of joy and unease at the untried possibilities of language and of the world we take for granted. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) CAN YOU HEAR, BIRD
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0055

After John Ashbery's 216-page poem Flow Chart (1991) and the munificence of Hotel Lautramont (1992) and And the Stars were Shining (1994), Can You Hear, Bird provides an A to Y of poems, moments in which voices, images and tones come in for Ashbery's wily attentions. The poems are generally short. But when we get to T, 'Tuesday Evening' occurs. Tuesday evenings are long in Ashbery's America. This Tuesday begins in tight rhymed quatrains; as theevening extends, the verse relaxes to elicit and swallow up more and more, until only rhyme pins ...

WILLIAMS: COLLECTED POEMS (VOLUME 2)
1939-1962
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0044

After 1939, William Carlos Williams had embarked on the great original experiment that led to his magnificent, faulted master-work 'Paterson', and the work in the second volume of The Complete Poems provides a luminous record of his developing strategies, the emergence of a firm sense of 'the variable foot', and of the unaffected, secular and democratic voice of a poet who remains the great American modernist. It includes the collections he published alongside Paterson - The Wedge (1944), The Clouds (1948) and The Pink Church (1949); the t...

(P/B) ESSAYS ON DEPARTURE
NEW AND SELECTED POEMS 1980-2005
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0072

Essays on Departure is a gathering of 25 years' work by one of the most elegant and pertinent poets working in English, work from eight books, including a generous excerpt from the electrically erotic verse novel Love, Death and the Changing of the Seasons, and new work written in the shadow of hegemonic empire. Often unabashedly narrative, at once witty and elegiac, this is a poetry in open dialogue with its sources, as close at hand or as surprising as Donne , Akhmatova, the American poet Muriel Rukeyser, Joseph Roth or the Algerian Kate...

(P/B) WAKEFULNESS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0053

"Everything was spotless in the little house of our desire, the clock ticked on and on, happy about being apprenticed to eternity." 'Little by little the idea of the true way returned to me,' John Ashbery writes early in his new collection. Each sense is wakened up. So are all the spirits. Many whispers, voices chantant dans la coupole: passions, leaves, loves, flutes, insects, paintings, apologies, partings. We are in history, and in the present, too - in buildings, churches, homes, cars and trains, making our way to Baltimore and Buchar...

(P/B) COLLECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0049

Edwin Morgan 'catches in full sight' in his lyric epiphanies, in the focus and refocus of sequences, the wily relocation of words in concrete poems, the weird rhythms of sound poems. His transforming imagination is democratic, generous and inclusive. Even the sonnet form becomes a new experiment for a poet of questing and anarchic vision, unwilling to rest on rules. 'More than the work of most poets,' writes lain Crichton Smith, Morgan's poetry 'welcomes the twentieth century, with its gadgets, its paradoxes, graffiti, new languages, torn ...

BRIDE OF ICE
NEW SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0058

When Elaine Feinstein first read the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva in Russian in the 1960s, the encounter transformed her. 'What drew me to her initially,' she writes, 'was the intensity of her emotions, and the honesty with which she exposed them.' Her translations, first published to great acclaim in 1971, introduced Tsvetaeva to English readers. It was the start of Feinstein's continuing engagement with a poet who has been an enduring, challenging inspiration to her, and whose life she has written. To this enlarged edition Elaine Feinstein ...

(P/B) PARALLAX
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0073

In Parallax Sinead Morrissey documents what is caught, and what is lost, when houses and cityscapes, servants and saboteurs ('the different people who lived in sepia') are arrested in time by photography (or poetry), subjected to the authority of a particular perspective. Assured and disquieting, Morrissey's poems explore the paradoxes in what is seen, read and misread in the surfaces of the presented world. (From the publisher) In a year of brilliantly themed collections, the judges were unanimous in choosing Sinead Morrissey's Parallax ...

(P/B) THE LONG TRAIL
SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0007

"The Lord knows what we may find, dear lass, And The Deuce knows what we may do - But we're back once more on the old trail, our own trail, the out trail, We're down, hull-down, on the Long Trail - the trail that is always new!" Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was, as T.S. Eliot recognised, a supreme ballad-maker, a storyteller who relished the adventures and characters encountered in the wide world, and a man whose sympathies lay with those whose work and dedication sustained civic and political institutions. With humour, rhythmical skill a...

GIRLS ON THE RUN
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0000

'Did you read that book I was telling you about? Ach, it concerns puberty.' Girls on the Run, a poem in twenty-one chapters, is written 'after Henry Darger' (1892-1972), the 'outsider' American artist who toiled for decades, tracing images from comic strips, colouring books and other ephemeral sources, creating an enormous illustrated novel about the adventures of a plucky band of little girls. Ashbery provides a species of verse translation of Darger's haunted, faux-innocent images of tumbling, frolicking, fleeing children. 'An illustrati...

(P/B) SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0071

This is a book not of memorable lines but of memorable poems. Eavan Boland's poetry is radically different in tone and texture from the work of her Irish contemporaries. Her concerns are never parochial. In 1979 she renounced "the evasion out of fear from some realities, and the folly of that evasion, because the realities catch up with you." Her poems are brave in quest of those realities, finding a language in which to engage them. (From the publisher)...
