Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive collection in English of the founder of modern Italian poetry Giovanni Pascoli (1855–1912)—the founder of modern Italian poetry and one of Italy's most beloved poets—has been compared to Robert Frost for his evocation of natural speech, his bucolic settings, and the way he bridges poetic tradition and the beginnings of modernism. Featuring verse from throughout his career, and with the original Italian on facing pages, Selected Poems of Giovanni Pascoli is a comprehensive and authoritative collection of a fascinating and major literary figure. Reading this poet of nature, grief, and small-town life is like traveling through Italy's landscapes in his footsteps—from Romagna and Bologna to Rome, Sicily, and Tuscany—as the country transformed from an agrarian society into an industrial one. Mixing the elevated diction of Virgil with local slang and the sounds of the natural world, these poems capture sense-laden moments: a train's departure, a wren's winter foraging, and the lit windows of a town at dusk. Incorporating revolutionary language into classical scenes, Pascoli's poems describe ancient rural dramas—both large and small—that remain contemporary. Framed by an introduction, annotations, and a substantial chronology, Taije Silverman and Marina Della Putta Johnston's translations render the variety, precision, and beauty of Pascoli's poetry with a profoundly current vision.

Book excerpt: Il sospetto che in un comune disco club di provincia si nasconda lo scenario di un macabro complotto si tramuterà in certezza quando Anatole asseconderà l'invito di Herbert a varcare la soglia del "Gorgeous" per ammirare i prodigi anatomici e vocali della misteriosa cantante dei "Madame Creole". Sopravvissuta agli anni che separano i due conflitti mondiali, l'ossessione di Charles per la figura leggendaria di Roberto Il Diavolo lo ricondurrà su quell'isola di Jersey dove i miti della storia Normanna e l'amore per la piccola Shirley che nutrirono la sua epopea di adolescente combattuto tra passione e disinganno, suggelleranno la fine di quel lungo "anno d'inverno" iniziato all'indomani dell'omicidio dell'erede al trono d'Austria-Ungheria. Queste e altre storie compongono il rutilante mosaico di personaggi e situazioni catturati ancora una volta dalla prosa immaginifica di Alessandro Fantini, sull'orlo dell'abisso dove storia e fantasia si rimestano nell'abbacinante oscurità del rituale letterario

Book excerpt: Gli occhi di Daithe sanno guardare oltre il tempo e oltre lo spazio. E proprio oltre il tempo e lo spazio si cela la conquista di un intero popolo. Nel 52 a.C. Giulio Cesare conquista la Gallia e lo sguardo di Daithe sarà lì a cogliere l'istante che vedrà il confronto fra lui e Vercingetorige. Ma la disfatta non giungerà inattesa. Da anni i druidi ne scorgono i segni celati nelle stelle. Sin da bambina Daithe ha osservato Elaed, suo padre, organizzare una rete di alleanze in grado di anticipare gli eventi. Da adulta, oramai sacerdotessa, osserverà suo fratello Dunarnos percorrere quelle stesse orme. Quando la guerra incendierà la Gallia, l'ultima cosa che vedranno i suoi occhi sarà la rivolta che, con il suo epilogo, segnerà per sempre il corso della Storia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Spackman here examines the ways in which decadent writers adopted the language of physiological illness and alteration as a figure for psychic otherness. By means of an ideological and rhetorical analysis of scientific as well as literary texts, she shows how the rhetoric of sickness provided the male decadent writer with an alibi for the occupation and appropriation of the female body.

Book excerpt: Taije Silverman's debut collection chronicles her family's devotion and dissolution through the death of her mother. Ranging in style from measured narratives to fragmented lyrics that convey the ambiguity of loss, these poems both arc into the past and question the possibility of the future, exploring the ways in which memory at once sustains and fails love. Ultimately the poems are elegies not only to one beloved mother, but to the large and diffusive presences of Keats, Mandelstam, a concentration camp near Prague, a coming-of-age on a Greek island, and the nearly traceless particles of neutrinos that--as with each detail toward which the poet lends her attention -- become precious as the mother departs from her position at the center of the world. Furious, redemptive, and deeply immediate, Houses are Fields is a beautifully moving first book.

Download or read book Gabriel written by Edward Hirsch and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award Never has there been a book of poems quite like Gabriel, in which a short life, a bewildering death, and the unanswerable sorrow of a father come together in such a sustained elegy. This unabashed sequence speaks directly from Hirsch’s heart to our own, without sentimentality. From its opening lines—“The funeral director opened the coffin / And there he was alone / From the waist up”—Hirsch’s account is poignantly direct and open to the strange vicissitudes and tricks of grief. In propulsive three-line stanzas, he tells the story of how a once unstoppable child, who suffered from various developmental disorders, turned into an irreverent young adult, funny, rebellious, impulsive. Hirsch mixes his tale of Gabriel with the stories of other poets through the centuries who have also lost children, and expresses his feelings through theirs. His landmark poem enters the broad stream of human grief and raises in us the strange hope, even consolation, that we find in the writer’s act of witnessing and transformation. It will be read and reread.
