ISBN: 1466898674
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Selected verse from the poet who "expanded the scope of lyric poetry" (Rafael Campo, The Washington Post). The work of Federico García Lorca, Spain's greatest modernist poet, has long been admired for its emotional intensity and metaphorical brilliance. The revised Selected Verse, which incorporates changes made to García Lorca's Collected Poems, is an essential addition to any poetry lover's bookshelf. In this bilingual edition, García Lorca's poetic range comes clearly into view, from the playful Suites and stylized evocations of Andalusia to the utter gravity and mystery of the final elegies, confirming his stature as one of the twentieth century's finest poets.

Selected Verse Anthems
Author: John Blow
Publisher: A-R Editions, Inc.
ISBN: 0895796511
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The eight verse anthems in this edition constitute the only full scores of works in Blow's hand that survive in this abundant genre. The scores are located in two manuscripts that are now parts of the collections at Christ Church, Oxford, and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The Oxford manuscript includes five anthems from the 1670s, and each displays a variety of structural and musical-rhetoric procedures, making them ideal representatives of Blow's multifaceted early style. The Cambridge manuscript dates from ca. 1704 and contains three late works on a much larger scale. As a group, the later anthems require considerably greater virtuosity from the solo singers, and individual verse sections grow both longer and more numerous. As representative examples within a much larger repertoire, the works selected for this edition help to reveal important facets in the career of the first person to hold the title, Composer of the Chapel Royal.

Book Description
These poems tell the story of an Irish rebel who was a practical idealist of astounding energy. The verse, as well as being technically superb, simmers with indignation. The poet's attacks on privilege, defense of the poor, and vision of Canada as a champion of peace have recovered their timeliness today.

Selected Verse of Émile Nelligan: Québec’s great lyric poet
Author: Emile Nelligan
Publisher: Petra Books
ISBN: 1989048773
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Nelligan’s finest poems. This collection of 46 poems, translated from French, has been selected for both poetic and psychological interest. Émile Nelligan, Canada’s first truly modern poet, burst upon the scene as a prodigy creating brilliant lyrical poetry in late 19th-century Montréal for three years before suffering, at age 19, a breakdown that left him in a mental asylum for the rest of his life. Nelligan went on to achieve mythic status in Québec — no other poet in all Canada has been the subject of so many biographies, films, novels, plays, and critical appraisals. This volume includes Nelligan’s key poems, accompanied by robust commentary covering such topics as the women in Nelligan’s life, the nature of his breakdown, and the several controversies surrounding his life and work. Includes picture gallery. “A fascinating story of this meteoric figure. The poems show that Nelligan was a musician of words who merits recognition beyond Québec’s borders.” Translator and commentator Ian Allaby is a Toronto-based writer, poet and former editor of the Spadina Literary Review.
