Book excerpt: Jorge de Sena (1919-1978) was regarded by many as not only the premier contemporary poet of Portugal, but also the third of all time after Camões and Pessoa. He published more than a hundred books in a wide range of genres that included cultural studies, literary theory, essay, translation, criticism, drama, fiction, and poetry. His diverse formal training included Portugal's naval academy, a Licentiate in civil engineering from the University of Oporto, and a Ph.D. in literature from the University of São Paulo. He taught at two universities in Brazil before coming to the United States in 1965, where he accepted a full professorship at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Then in 1970, he moved to the University of California at Santa Barbara where he was chair of two departments: Spanish and Portuguese, and Comparative Literature.Jorge de Sena: 100 Poems and More contains representative poems from each of his fourteen volumes of poetry, in both the original Portuguese as well as in English translation. There is also a useful introductory study, notes on each book of poetry, photographs, and an informative forward by his wife Mécia on Sena's long association with Anglo-American letters. The appendix contains a bibliographic listing of all of Sena's publications and two studies: a personal reminiscence of his teaching style and mentoring while a professor in the United States, and an analysis of some of his most significant moral teachings. Also provided is a reference to access a color video of Jorge de Sena reading his own poetry that includes a photo-biographical introduction and an interview.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although Mallarme is commonly viewed as the high priest of the autonomous work of art, by far the bulk of his actual poetic writing was occasional verse. With few exceptions the works written after 1873 manifest a reinvestment in the world subsequent to the metaphysical crises of the 1860's. In addition to the "Tombeaux," the toasts, and certain of the "Eventails," Mallarme composed the Vers de circonstance, more than 450 quatrains and distichs inscribed on envelopes, postcards, calling cards, Easter eggs, small stones, photographs, and jugs of Calvados. This is the first comprehensive reading and analysis of the neglected late poetry, heretofore dismissed as of marginal interest." "This book has a dual purpose. By exploring the occasional verse of Mallarme, which itself thematizes the problematics of the occasion, the author seeks to rehabilitate such writing for critical study. She does this not by proclaiming its high seriousness, but by insisting on its casual, amenable, public nature. Unlike previous critics, who have often apologized for straying into the fringes of the canon, the author delights in the marginal, insisting that in a poetics of the occasion, traditional oppositions such as center/margin become skewed and break down." "The author's second purpose is to come to a better understanding of Mallarme in light of what he actually wrote, rather than the work projected in his correspondence and prose articles, which has claimed so much critical attention. Each of the chapters of the book highlights one aspect of occasional poetry through an investigation of representative texts, both canonical and occasional. The author also discusses the relationship between Mallarme's poetics and the plastic arts, tracing the changing conception of the representation of the monument from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, as well as the correspondences between the more radical aspects of Mallarme's practice of writing and the contemporary arts." "Far more than a study of a single writer, this book is the first to propose a pragmatic definition of occasional literature, to undertake a broad study of the problem of occasion in literature, and to trace the historical trajectory of occasional writing as a specific discourse. The book is illustrated with 27 halftones."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This astonishingly erotic and ironic novel is set in vaguely medieval times, but the tone is starkly modern. A young gentleman is travelling on horseback, and stops by a river to rest and bathe. As he is lying there naked after bathing, three maidens appear and, trying to avert their gaze from the young man's many charms, they tell him the story of their recently widowed mistress, who is dying of grief. She can only be saved by a man who fulfils three conditions: he must be the son of a king, a great physician, and a virgin. Since he more or less fulfils these conditions, the young man duly goes to the castle where he saves the queen, who immediately falls in love with her saviour. But are the maidens, the queen or the prodigious physician what they seem? In this novel, nothing is certain and nothing is ever entirely over.

Download or read book The Pessoa Chronicles written by George Monteiro and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The least known of the great European Modernist poets of the twentieth century, Fernando Pessoa was born in 1888. A virtuoso of poetic voices, he created a coterie of distinct heteronyms, individual voices for whom he created full biographies and full bodies of work that were not only distinctive and original but so distinguished that several have earned an honored place in the annals of world poetry. The Pessoa Chronicles-a collection, a scrapbook, an accumulation, an offering, take your pick-had its beginning as a book around 1990. Some of the entries in The Pessoa Chronicles are expressed in the (imagined) voice of Pessoa speaking for himself or that of one of his heteronyms. Many others are in an unidentified voice, usually indistinguishable from Monteiro's.

Download or read book Minotaur Parrot and the SS Man written by George Monteiro and published by Adamastor. This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An undisputed giant of twentieth-century Portuguese letters, writer and literary critic Jorge de Sena (1919--1978) spent the most productive decades of his life away from Portugal, teaching at the University of Wisconsin--Madison and the University of California, Santa Barbara. In the essays gathered in this collection, George Monteiro deftly weaves together his readings of Sena's poetry and prose, both literary and critical, with evidence drawn from the deep well of Sena's biographical archive, focusing in particular on his Brazilian and U.S. years. This expansive overview of Sena's unparalleled career, intended to commemorate the centenary of the writer's birth, is also a tribute to Monteiro's own remarkably voluminous and far-reaching body of work on the intersection of Portuguese and Anglo-American literary studies.
Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Jorge de Sena and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Translated from the Portuguese by Francisco C. Fagundes and James Houlihan. Jorge de Sena (1919-1978), widely regarded as the foremost Portuguese poet and man of letters since the Second World War, authored about a hundred books, including over a dozen volumes of poetry and numerous translations of poets like Dickinson and Cavafy, during his life as a civil engineer in Portugal and, beginning in 1959, as a writer-in-exile in Brazil and the United States, where at the time of his death he headed the Comparative Literature Program at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This first English translation of his 1963 masterpiece establishes him as one of the greatest world poets of our day. Borrowing its title from Ovid, it consists of twenty-three poems inspired by twenty acclaimed examples of art and artistry (reproduced here in black and white) from the Archaic Period to the Space Age from Moorish architecture to paintings by Rembrandt, Goya, and Van Gogh, from Keats's death mask to a sputnik. By turns philosophical and earthy, at once lucid and intense, these fine translations are perfectly pitched to capture Sena's distinctive voice, as he draws on a richly eclectic mix of sources to pay homage to the creative imagination and its man-made meanings in poems that are always formally subtle, deeply intelligent, and passionately human."

Book excerpt: Fernando Pessoa's '35 Sonnets' is a collection of exquisite poems that exemplify his mastery of the sonnet form. As one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language, Pessoa's sonnets explore themes of love, loss, and the human condition with unparalleled depth and beauty. Here's an excerpt from the first sonnet: "Whether we write or speak or do but look / We are ever unapparent. What we are / Cannot be transfused into word or book / Our soul from us is infinitely far."
