Download or read book They Carry a Promise written by Janusz Szuber and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bracing collection marks the first appearance in English of the Polish poet Janusz Szuber, hailed as the greatest discovery in Polish poetry of the late twentieth century when, in his late forties, he began publishing the work he’d been producing for almost thirty years. Nobel Laureate Wislawa Szymborska has called him a “superb poet,” and Zbigniew Herbert said that “his poetry speaks to the hard part of the soul.” Szuber is an intensely elegant writer whose poems are short and accessible; his work is poised between the rigors of making poetry and life itself in all its messy glory, between the devastations of history and the quiet act of observing our place in it all. “Grammar is my / Adopted country,” Szuber explains in one poem, yearning at the same time toward the physical, the breathing world: “I’d prefer something less ambiguous: / The bony parachutes of leaves, / The flame of goosefoot, from a frosty page / A star bent over me.” Throughout, there is an intense quiet and modesty to Szuber’s verse, whether he is observing the heron in flight, the froth of blossoming apple trees, or the human images in an old photo album. “Who will carve her fragile profile / in ivory . . . Who in truthful verse will briefly tell / of eternity, impermanent as a broken fan?” In lovely, astute translations by Ewa Hryniewicz-Yarbrough, the poems in They Carry a Promise are an exhilarating introduction to the work of a contemporary Polish master.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O Girl! O girl! Fondling your swan-like neck, there sits, Upon your shoulder now, this little dove; Delighted so and thrilled out of his wits, He’s bringing you your maiden dawn of love. You can’t understand what the dove may coo, Although there’s love and longing in this art; He’d rather not be passionate with you, So as to keep desires out of your heart… Taking the thorns, he’ll softly fly away; Perhaps, you’ll never meet again therefore… But when you think of this affair one day, You’ll know that no one ever loved you more!

Download or read book The Reception of Ancient Greece and Rome in Children s Literature written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece and Rome have long featured in books for children and teens, whether through the genres of historical fiction, fantasy, mystery stories or mythological compendiums. These depictions and adaptations of the Ancient World have varied at different times, however, in accordance with changes in societies and cultures. This book investigates the varying receptions and ideological manipulations of the classical world in children’s literature. Its subtitle, Heroes and Eagles, reflects the two most common ways in which this reception appears, namely in the forms of the portrayal of the Greek heroic world of classical mythology on the one hand, and of the Roman imperial presence on the other. Both of these are ideologically loaded approaches intended to educate the young reader.

Download or read book Postwar Polish Poetry written by Czesław Miłosz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expanded edition of "Postwar Polish Poetry" (which was originally published in 1965) presents 125 poems by 25 poets, including Czeslaw Milosz and other Polish poets living outside Poland. The stress of the anthology is on poetry written after 1956, the year when the lifting of censorship and the berakdown of doctrines provoked and explosion of new schools and talents. The victory of Solidarity in August 1980 once again opened new vistas for a short time; the coup of December closed that chapter. It is too early yet to predict the impact these events will have on the future of Polish poetry.

A REQUEST I would never Mother such a meadow find, We had no patch of lea to call our own, But some stranger larks in heaven were so kind To plead and there's a bench now by the stone Of your grave - upon our land - where I may muse Of a five-leaf clover growing on your tomb And will I learn the time that none can choose, Perhaps not long from now I'll meet my doom, So I beseech you, Lord, when it's all over - Provide my Mother with a five-leaf clover.
