Download or read book The Beauty Of Psyche 2005 written by Andrew Staniland and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Staniland's prose-poem novel ?The Beauty Of Psyche (2005)? is a retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche as a novel about imagination. The characters are played by actors, against a backdrop of paintings, models and sets. The story at times becomes a series of paintings and sculptures in an exhibition. And many of the references to people, films, theatre and other myths may or may not be imaginary too. Revised edition. Reading this I felt the excitement and pleasure of those long Romantic poems by Keats, Shelley and Byron or even Pope and Milton but it's not ?like? any of them. It is not a modern version of a classic, it is a modern classic... It's a genuine literary work of art. A true contemporary classic. It's beautiful, it's intelligent and I don't imagine I?ll ever read anything like it again.? Cally Phillips, indie e-book review

This complete edition of The Maximus Poems brings together the three volumes of Charles Olson's long poem (originally published in 1960, 1968, and 1975, and long out of print) in an authoritative version edited according to the highest standards of textual criticism. Errors in the previous editions have been corrected, twenty-nine new poems added, and the sequence of the final poems modified in the light of the editor's research among the poet's papers. --University of California Press.
