Book Description
Hope it unsettles you for this bilingual collection of poems makes a dynamic read while making you hover over the unusual themes and language of poems. It is a deliberate attempt to bring the common experiences together in two different languages instead of compartmentalizing the movements and progress and also questioning the assumptions of division on the basis of cultural facts, those which life outgrows for sure while talking about the subjugation of natural identities of men and women, domestic violence, isolating experiences of modern life and the compulsive need to keep up the appearance of normalcy while we are constantly unhappy and struggling. It questions the class division in rarest of ways through the poem- Revolution which unveils the true potential and strength of all the subaltern masses for whom the politics of the author strongly speaks. The collection will take you towards a new, introspective and inclusive literature.
How to Play a Poem
Author: Don BialostoskyPublisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822982358
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Approaching poems as utterances designed and packaged for pleasurable reanimation, How to Play a Poem leads readers through a course that uses our common experience of language to bring poems to life. It mobilizes the speech genres we acquire in our everyday exchanges to identify "signs of life" in poetic texts that can guide our co-creation of tone. How to Play a Poem draws on ideas from the Bakhtin School, usually associated with fiction rather than poetry, to construct a user-friendly practice of close reading as an alternative to the New Critical formalism that still shapes much of teaching and alienates many readers. It sets aside stock questions about connotation and symbolism to guide the playing out of dynamic relations among the human parties to poetic utterances, as we would play a dramatic script or musical score. How to Play a Poem addresses critics ready to abandon New Criticism, teachers eager to rethink poetry, readers eager to enjoy it, and students willing to give it a chance, inviting them to discover a lively and enlivening way to animate familiar and unfamiliar poems.
The Rain in the Trees
Author: W. S. MerwinPublisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0394758587
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
A volume of poems concerned with intimacy and wholeness, and with history and how the world endures it—from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and “one of the greatest poets of our age … the Thoreau of our era” (Edward Hirsch). A literary event—a new volume of poems by one of the masters of modern poetry—The Rain in the Trees is W. S. Merwin's first book since the publication of his Opening the Hand. Almost no other poet of our time has been able to voice in so subtle a fashion such a profound series of comments on the passing of history over the contemporary scene. To do this, he seems to have reinvented the poem—so that the experience of reading Merwin is unlike the reading of any other poetry. In such famous books as The Lice, The Moving Target and (most recently) Opening the Hand, he has produced a body of work of great profundity and power made from the simplest and most beautiful poetic speech. Merwin can now rightfully be called a master, and this book shows in every way why this is the case.

Direct Speech in Beowulf and Other Old English Narrative Poems
Author: Élise LouviotPublisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1843844346
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
A new examination of the little-studied phenomena of Direct Speech in Old English poetry. Some of the most celebrated passages of Old English poetry are speeches: Beowulf and Unferth's verbal contest, Hrothgar's words of advice, Satan's laments, Juliana's words of defiance, etc. Yet Direct Speech, as a stylistic device, has remained largely under-examined and under-theorized in studies of the corpus. As a consequence, many analyses are unduly influenced by anachronistic conceptions of Direct Speech, leading to problematic interpretations, not least concerning irony and implicit characterisation. This book uses linguistic theories to reassess the role of Direct Speech in Old English narrative poetry. Beowulf is given a great deal of attention, because it is amajor poem and because it is the focus of much of the existing scholarship on this subject, but it is examined in a broader poetic context: the poem belongs to a wider tradition and thus needs to be understood in that context. The texts examined include several major Old English narrative poems, in particular the two Genesis, Christ and Satan, Andreas, Elene, Juliana and Guthlac A. Elise Louviot is a Lecturer at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (France) and a specialist of Old English poetry. Her research interests include orality, tradition, formulas and the linguistic expression of subjectivity.
