(P/B) SOME INTEGRITY
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0092

Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection 2022 Winner of the Clarissa Luard Prize 2021 In 'Minty', one of the typically charged and capacious poems in this eagerly-awaited debut collection, a mojito glass reflects: whatever grid of bricks & wood makes up the room we happen to be sitting in is dilated & wrapped around a single focal-point; whatever portion of the sky that happens to be visible through the window becomes a convex bowl. The weather also happens, as it always does, & passes on, & brings those other places whe...

(P/B) BAUDELAIRE: COMPLETE POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0021

"A gradual numbness spreads through streets and homes. Be patient, Pain, and tranquillised, at best; You wanted Evening back, and here it comes, Bringing anxiety to some, to others rest. While mortal vermin race to harvest shame And kiss relentless Pleasure's whip as fast As it can punish them, and make them swarm, Walk hand in hand away with me at last, Far from it all. The Past, in faded gown, From her dress circle in the sky leans down. See how Regret smiles, rising from the deep; The Sun, under a bridge, dies in his sleep. And all acro...

(P/B) HOMUNCULUS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0084

Homunculus is a long poem from award-winning poet and translator James Womack, based around the Elegies of the Roman poet Maximian. The last of the Roman poets, Maximian wrote in the sixth century, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire; critics have called his Elegies 'one of the strangest documents of the human mind', and W.H. Auden singled him out as a 'really remarkable poet'. Womack's versioning of the Elegies shows how this harsh poem of sex and old age can speak to our own contemporary, collapsing world...(From the publisher)...

(P/B) ARROW
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0085

Winner of the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize 2021. Longlisted for the Michael Murphy Memorial Poetry Prize 2021. Arrow is a debut volume extraordinary in ambition, range and achievement. At its centre is 'Dear, beloved', a more-than-elegy for her younger sister who died suddenly: in the two years she took to write the poem, much else came into play: 'it was my hope to write the mood of elegy rather than an elegy proper,' following the example of the great elegists including Milton, to whose Paradise Lost she listened during th...

(H/B) SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0070

Kenneth Koch is grouped with John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler, a grouping which tends to underplay the real differences between each poet's projects; their collaborations were inventive because of their differences, not their similarities, and what marks all four is the ability to work at tangents without ever quite abandoning the circumference. Koch started writing when he was five, under the influence of Shelley, whom he outgrew in his teens, taking doses of Byron and eventually of Eliot. As a soldier in the Philippines, he ...

(P/B) SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0082

Frank O'Hara (1926-66) is among the most delightful and radical poets of the twentieth century. He is celebrated for his apparently unpremeditated poems, autobiographical and immediate ('any time, any place'). This is not the whole O'Hara: he may have scribbled poems on serviettes, but others he worked on with intense concentration, creating sequences that are inexhaustibly nuanced, full of surprise, heartbreak and laughter. There are analogies between his work and that of the painters he championed, Pollock, Kline and de Kooning among the...

(P/B) WHY I'M NOT A PAINTER
AND OTHER POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0069

"... a remarkable new poetry - both modest and monumental, with something basically usable about it - not only for poets in search of a voice of their own but for the reader who turns to poetry as a last resort in trying to juggle the contradictory components of modern life into something like a liveable space." -John Ashbery Frank O'Hara composed poems 'any time, any place', collaborating with - or directly inspired by - a vibrant circle of artists, dancers, musicians and poets. For O'Hara, the city was a place of endless possibility, an...

(P/B) COLERIDGE: SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0023

"...that hour I would wish'd to die. If thro'the shuddering midnight I had sent From the dark dungeon of the Tower time-rent That fearful voice, a famish'd Father's cry - Lest in some aftre moment aught more mean Might stamp me mortal! A triumphant shout Black Horror scream'd, and all her goblin rout Diminish'd shrunk from the withering scene!" -- from "To the Author of The Robbers" In this unusual selection, one of the great poet-critics of the twentieth century encounters and re-appraises the greatest poet-critic of the nineteenth.

(P/B) SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0022

The great Russian poet Alexander Blok (1880-1921) lived through his country's savage wars and radical traumas, trying to welcome the new order. But there was no space in it for his kind of imagination. His poem 'The Twelve' has claims to being the first great poem of the Russian Revolution. It remains enigmatic, the language elevated, the tone celebratory, even mystical in some respects. No wonder that Mayakovsky, bringing Revolution into the very language and form of his poetry, wrote against Blok and the old forms, answering 'The twelve'...

(P/B) SEASONAL DISTURBANCES
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0074

Following her groundbreaking 2014 debut "An Aviary of Small Birds", Karen McCarthy Woolf returns with "Seasonal Disturbances". Set against a backdrop of ecological and emotional turbulence, these poems are charged yet meditative explorations of nature, the city, and the self. A sinister CEO presides over a dystopian hinterland where private detectives investigate crimes against hollyhocks; Halcyon is discovered as a dead kingfisher, washed up on an Italian beach. Lyrical and inventive, McCarthy Woolf's poems test classic and contemporary f...

(P/B) SONNETS TO ORPHEUS AND LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0018

'They are perhaps most mysterious, even to me,' wrote Rainer Maria Rilke of the Sonnets to Orpheus, 'in the manner in which they arrived and imposed themselves on me - the most puzzling dictation I have ever received and taken down.' Rilke, born in Prague in 1875, died at Valmont near Montreux in the last days of 1926. His Sonnets to Orpheus may appear comparatively simple, even casual, at first reading, but they are crammed with content which resonates far beyond the familiar legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. The Sonnets have an astonishing...

(P/B) ELEMENTARY MORALITY
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0059

Elementary Morality, Raymond Queneau's last book, is in many ways his most momentous. Here he distils the work of a lifetime: as Surrealist, flaneur, mathematician, poet, student of Eastern philosophy, experimental novelist and co-founder of OuLiPo, the 'workshop for potential literature'. Its 131 texts in the form of quennets - an invented form - and prose poems generated by the hexagrams of the I Ching, are a remarkable meditation on landscape, death, war, Surrealism, and memory, at once playful, mysterious and illuminating. David Bellos...

(P/B) THE COLLECTED POEMS 1957-1987
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0010

"The year's doors open like those of language, toward the unknown. Last night you told me tomorrow we shall have to think up signs, sketch a landscape, fabricate a plan on the double page of day and paper" -- from "January First", translated by Elizabeth Bishop When Octavio Paz (1914-1998) died, Mexico lost a tribe of writers. He was many poets, from the surrealist disciple of Andre Breton to the admiring imitator of Alexander Pope; now a radical experimentalist, now an autobiographer and confess...

(P/B) DUINO ELEGIES
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0017

With all his contradictions, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the fathers of modern literature and the Duino Elegies one of its great monuments. Begun in 1912 but not completed until 1922, they are 'modern' in almost every sense the word has acquired; yet Rilke was by temperament anti-modern, a snob and a romantic. He was devoted to the three A's: Architecture, Agriculture, Aristocracy. The Duino Elegies aroused real excitement among English readers when the now-dated Leishman/Spender versions first appeared in the 1930s. Stephen C...

(P/B) CARTOGRAPHER TRIES TO MAP A WAY TO ZION
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0080

In his new collection, acclaimed Jamaican poet Kei Miller dramatises what happens when one system of knowledge, one method of understanding place and territory, comes up against another. We watch as the cartographer, used to the scientific methods of assuming control over a place by mapping it ('I never get involved / with the muddy affairs of land'), is gradually compelled to recognise - even to envy - a wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastaman's eternal city of Zion. As the book unfolds the cart...

(P/B) WAITRESS IN FALL
SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0078

For over three decades, the work of Kristin Omarsdottir has thrived in the vanguard of Icelandic literature. Waitress in Fall offers anglophone readers the first substantial selection of her poems in translation. Spanning thirty years and seven collections - from her first to her latest - this wide-reaching introduction celebrates a vital voice in contemporary European poetry. Kristin Omarsdottir's work resists the sweet, the neat or the certain. Her poems delight in the lush mess of actual life, in its hands and fingers, lemons and clocks...

THE BOOK OF DISQUIETUDE
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0011

The Book of Disquietude is the `factless autobiography' of Bernardo Soares, one of the 72 literary personae with which Fernando Pessoa created the theatre of himself. Conceived in 1916, Soares is, Pessoa declares,`a mutilation' of his own personality. This is the first, and only complete, English edition. Other versions are abridgements. The translator and scholar Richard Zenith includes all the `fragments' which made up the 1982 edition, 48 additional fragments and some from the Pessoa archive never previously published. He provides a ful...

(P/B) REVOLUTIONARY SONNETS
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0065

Revolutionary Sonnets is as daring, original and inventive as the name suggest. The work explores themes of violence and love, pretensions and emotion, sex and war and is both sobering, and hysterically funny. For the first time the full range and achievement of Anthony Burgess's poetry and verse are set out, rather spectacularly, before the public. The author of major novels, essays and reviews, the lecturer whose dazzling take on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land changed our reading of the poem, is - like Eliot himself - a prosodic genius an...

(P/B) YOUR NAME HERE
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0001

Everyone wants to subscribe to a deed of heroism, especially if the risks are largely imaginary. The headline announcing a daring deed; in the tourist shop a poster promising a spectacular, sun-drenched corrida, and there is a space between the legendary bullfighters for one more sequined matador: '(Your Name Here)'. That is how the individual, whom Hardy declared must at heart remain 'unread eternally,' manages to read out of the isolated 'I' into other selves. It does not appropriate, it does not exercise negative capability, but rather ...

THE NEW YORK POETS
AN ANTHOLOGY
Εκδότης: CARCANET
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3987-0041

For the first time, The New York Poets gathers in a single volume the best work of four extraordinary poets: Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and James Schuyler. By the early 1950s all four were settled in Manhattan, collaborating, competing and encouraging each other's radical experiments with language and form. Much of their work reflects their participation in the creative energies of the New York art scene, 'the floods of paint', to quote James Schuyler, 'in whose crashing surf we all scramble'. Believing that anything could b...
