Azure: Poems and Selections from the "Livre" (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Stéphane Mallarmé Robert Fernandez Blake Bronson-BartlettDuring his lifetime, Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) was recognized as one of the greatest living French poets. He wrote extensively on themes of reality and his desire to turn away from it, marrying form and content in revolutionary ways that departed drastically from the more tightly controlled French tradition. Despite his status as one of the first modernists, much of Mallarmé's radicalism has been lost in translation. Finally, in this new collection by Blake Bronson-Bartlett and Robert Fernandez, the magic and mastery of form and diction, so striking in Mallarmé's French verse, comes to life in English. Drawing from Poésies (1899), Un coup de dés (A Cast of Dice), and the "Livre" (the "Book"--the overarching conceptual work left unfinished at the death of the poet), this collection captures Mallarmé's true linguistic brilliance, bringing the poems into our current history while retaining the music, playfulness, and power of the originals.
Azul binario: Poeamario
by Matilde García Pérez«Una remembranza para los que conocen al amor y un faro para los que esperan encontrarlo.» <P><P>Azul binario pretende compartir con sus lectores un trayecto de vida no solo inesperado sino también delicioso, que seguramente los afectará de maneras diversas, de acuerdo al momento de la vida en que la lectura los atrape: Los que ya abrazaron definitivamente al amor, podrán disfrutarlo al borde de cualquier momento, rememorando tal vez su propia experiencia. <P>Los que todavía lo buscan - o casi han desistido - podrán encontrar entre sus páginas una pequeña muestra de lo que les espera si no desesperan. Matilde García Pérez nos ofrece con Azul binario una nueva presentación. A lo largo de sus páginas se ve la frescura de una manifestación artística manufacturada por alguien que ha vivido intensamente y que habla de un tiempo impreciso, angustioso, exultante, alternativo, decoroso, pleno de amor. Cada poema la muestra como una prisionera de esos momentos, con escasa posibilidad de movilidad. En los escritos está plena de fugas, despojada de palabras inútiles, sin exageraciones ni alternancias, pero trabaja a sabiendas que puede traer unas palabras que nos conduzcan suavemente hacia un abismo probable, a veces desolador, otras ausentes, aunque siempre con la posibilidad de reconstruir un fantasma a punto de difuminarse. «Azul binario es como la insoportable necesidad de la autora de liquidar cuentas con su propio pasado, de obligarse a abandonar ese espacio y dejarlo encerrado en cada poema, como si fuera una cárcel pero con mayores comodidades. Ella vuelve y se retira de ese pasado, lo explora, lo regresa al ámbito privado, íntimo, para dejarlo como una bestia que ronda herida, desquiciada, al acecho. Y los espectadores somos sus lectores, que avizoramos ese resplandor lejano de la vida de Matilde.» Ricardo Bocos
Azul
by Rubén DaríoEl poeta nicaragüense fue, sin duda alguna, uno de los poetas hispanoamericanos que más decididamente cambió el rumbo de las letras hispánicas. Publicó sus primeros versos a los once años, y a finales del siglo XIX, ya consagrado, publicó "Azul", obra con la que se inició «oficialmente» el Modernismo Hispanoamericano.

Azaleas: A Book of Poems (Weatherhead Books on Asia)
by Kim SowolAvailable for the first time in English, Azaleas is a captivating collection of poems by a master of the early Korean modernist style. Published in 1925, Azaleas is the only collection Kim Sowol (1902-1934) produced during his brief life, yet he remains one of Korea's most beloved and well-known poets. His work is a delightful and sophisticated blend of the images, tonalities, and rhythms of traditional Korean folk songs with surprisingly modern forms and themes. Sowol is also known for his unique and sometimes unsettling perspective, expressed through loneliness, longing, and a creative use of dream imagery-a reflection of Sowol's engagement with French Symbolist poetry.Azaleas recounts the journey of a young Korean as he travels from the northern P'yongyang area near to the cosmopolitan capital of Seoul. Told through an array of voices, the poems describe the young man's actions as he leaves home, his experiences as a student and writer in Seoul, and his return north. Although considered a landmark of Korean literature, Azaleas speaks to readers from all cultures. An essay by Sowol's mentor, the poet Kim Ok, concludes the collection and provides vital insight into Sowol's work and life. This elegant translation by David R. McCann, an expert on modern Korean poetry, maintains the immediacy and richness of Sowol's work and shares with English-language readers the quiet beauty of a poet who continues to cast a powerful spell on generations of Korean readers.
Axe Handles
by Gary Snyder"One principle motif of Axe Handles, Gary Snyder's sixth collection of poems, is the axiom of Lu Ji, "In making the handle of an axe by cutting wood with an axe the model is indeed near at hand." This collection is an exploration of discovery, of insight and of vision. These poems discover the roots of community in the family and the roots of culture and government in the community."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Awful Parenthesis: Suspension and the Sublime in Romantic and Victorian Poetry
by Anne C. McCarthyWhether the rapt trances of Romanticism or the corpse-like figures that confounded Victorian science and religion, nineteenth-century depictions of bodies in suspended animation are read as manifestations of broader concerns about the unknowable in Anne C. McCarthy’s Awful Parenthesis. Examining various aesthetics of suspension in the works of poets such as Coleridge, Shelley, Tennyson, and Christina Rossetti, McCarthy shares important insights into the nineteenth-century fascination with the sublime. Attentive to differences between "Romantic" and "Victorian" articulations of suspension, Awful Parenthesis offers a critical alternative to assumptions about periodization. While investigating various conceptualizations of suspension, including the suspension of disbelief, suspended animation, trance, paralysis, pause, and dilatation, McCarthy provides historically-aware close readings of nineteenth-century poems in conversation with prose genres that include devotional works, philosophy, travel writing, and periodical fiction. Awful Parenthesis reveals the cultural obsession with the aesthetics of suspension as a response to an expanding, incoherent world in crisis, one where the audience is both active participant and passive onlooker.
