Empathy
by Mei-Mei BerssenbruggeThe groundbreaking poetic work by our “Mondrian in verse” (Susan Barba, Boston Review), now back in print in a newly revised edition with a new preface by the author Empathy, first published by Station Hill Press in 1989, marked a turning point in Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s poetry, her lines lengthening across the page like so many horizons, tuned intimately to the natural world, at once philosophical, lush, and rhythmic. As she writes in the new preface for this edition, “I believe we’re born with the capacity for sensing emotional nuance around us. Not only of beloved persons nearby, but of people we don’t know—globally—and also of animals, plants, clouds, rocks.” In these poems, empathy not only becomes the space of one person inside another, but of one element—water, fog—one place—tundra, desert mesa—one animal—the swan—as the locus of human illumination and desire. Jackson MacLow wrote that the poetry in this collection “moves from ‘inner’ phenomena to ones coming from the ‘external’ world and back again with breathtaking evenness” and that the poet herself “is neither ‘objectivist’ nor ‘subjectivist’ but a poet of the whole consciousness.”
Empathy in Contemporary Poetry after Crisis (Palgrave Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism)
by Anna VeprinskaThis book examines the representation of empathy in contemporary poetry after crisis, specifically poetry after the Holocaust, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and Hurricane Katrina. The text argues that, recognizing both the possibilities and dangers of empathy, the poems under consideration variously invite and refuse empathy, thus displaying what Anna Veprinska terms empathetic dissonance. Veprinska proposes that empathetic dissonance reflects the texts’ struggle with the question of the value and possibility of empathy in the face of the crises to which these texts respond. Examining poems from Charlotte Delbo, Dionne Brand, Niyi Osundare, Charles Reznikoff, Robert Fitterman, Wisława Szymborska, Cynthia Hogue, Claudia Rankine, Paul Celan, Dan Pagis, Lucille Clifton, and Katie Ford, among others, Veprinska considers empathetic dissonance through language, witnessing, and theology. Merging comparative close readings with interdisciplinary theory from philosophy, psychology, cultural theory, history and literary theory, and trauma studies, this book juxtaposes a genocide, a terrorist act, and a natural disaster amplified by racial politics and human disregard in order to consider what happens to empathy in poetry after events at the limits of empathy.
Empedocles Redivivus: Poetry and Analogy in Lucretius (Studies in Classics)
by Myrto GaraniDespite the general scholarly consensus about Lucretius’ debt to Empedocles as the father of the genre of cosmological didactic epic, there is a major disagreement regarding Lucretius’ applause for his Presocratic predecessor’s praeclara reperta (DRN 1.732). In the present study, Garani suggests that by praising Empedocles’ discoveries, Lucretius points to his predecessor’s epistemological methods of inquiry concerning the unseen, methods upon which he himself draws extensively and creatively enhances. In this way, he successfully penetrates into the invisible natural world, deciphers its secrets, and thus liberates his pupil from superstitious fears about death and physical phenomena. To justify this proposition, Garani undertakes a systematic analysis of Lucretius’ integration of Empedocles’ methods of creating analogies in the form of literary devices -- personifications, similes, and metaphors -- and demonstrates that his intertextual engagement with Empedocles’ philosophical poem is direct and intensive at both the poetic and the philosophical levels.

The Emperor of Ice-Cream and Other Poems
by Wallace Stevens Bob BlaisdellAn insurance company executive with a law degree, Wallace Stevens (1879-1951) lived an outwardly conventional life but composed highly original and exotic works of verse. One of America's most important twentieth-century poets, Stevens forever changed the landscape of modern poetry with his provocative, experimental style.This first-rate collection by the winner of the 1955 Pulitzer Prize for poetry invites students and other readers to enjoy the richness and variety found in 82 of Stevens's finest creations. Included are such well-known compositions as "Sunday Morning," "Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock," "Anecdote of the Jar," "Peter Quince at the Clavier," "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," and the title piece -- the author's favorite -- as well as lesser known yet equally stimulating works such as "The Florist Wears Knee-Breeches" and "The Man Whose Pharynx Was Bad."Invaluable to students of American literature, this volume will be an indispensable treasury for lovers of modern poetry.
Empires of the Everyday: Poems
by Anna Lee-PophamAn ambitious and wholly original poetry collection that examines the ways that life is confined and sometimes defined by the city and the ubiquity and invisibility of state violence.The poems in Empires of the Everyday give voice to the many &“you&” who move through a city—one that resembles many modern cities—where plywood shelters are demolished in pandemic winters. Where everyday violence is palpable, but the related media reporting is offhand, cool, distanced, piecemeal, uncontextualized.In an attempt to access a more revelatory language, the poems spar with an AI translator, disturbing the disease of twenty-first century life that the city makes solid and covers up. Slavery, permanent war, and Empire titter in the resulting language, in its bending of what is possible, as only poetry can do. The poems trace the relationship between the human &“you&” and the machine &“I&” through five powerful, nuanced, and thought-provoking episodes. Anna Lee-Popham&’s impressive debut collection is immersed in the current ruptures of the world, rendering a translation of Empire and beyond-Empire to a possible convergence for &“you&” and &“I.&”
Empiricist Devotions: Science, Religion, and Poetry in Early Eighteenth-Century England
by Courtney Weiss SmithFeaturing a moment in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England before the disciplinary divisions that we inherit today were established, Empiricist Devotions recovers a kind of empiricist thinking in which the techniques and emphases of science, religion, and literature combined and cooperated. This brand of empiricism was committed to particularized scrutiny and epistemological modesty. It was Protestant in its enabling premises and meditative practices. It earnestly affirmed that figurative language provided crucial tools for interpreting the divinely written world. Smith recovers this empiricism in Robert Boyle's analogies, Isaac Newton's metaphors, John Locke's narratives, Joseph Addison's personifications, Daniel Defoe's diction, John Gay's periphrases, and Alexander Pope's descriptive particulars. She thereby demonstrates that "literary" language played a key role in shaping and giving voice to the concerns of eighteenth-century science and religion alike. Empiricist Devotions combines intellectual history with close readings of a wide variety of texts, from sermons, devotional journals, and economic tracts to georgic poems, it-narratives, and microscopy treatises. This prizewinning book has important implications for our understanding of cultural and literary history, as scholars of the period's science have not fully appreciated figurative language's central role in empiricist thought, while scholars of its religion and literature have neglected the serious empiricist commitments motivating richly figurative devotional and poetic texts.Winner of the Walker Cowen Memorial Prize for an Outstanding Work of Scholarship in Eighteenth-Century Studies
Empty Chairs: Selected Poems
by Xia LiuThe first publication of the poetry of Liu Xia, wife of the imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient Liu XiaoboI didn't have a chanceto say a word before you becamea character in the news,everyone looking up to youas I was worn downat the edge of the crowdjust smokingand watching the sky.A new myth, maybe, was formingthere, but the sun was so brightI couldn't see it. —from "June 2nd, 1989 (for Xiaobo)"Empty Chairs presents the poetry of Liu Xia for the first time freely in English translation. Selected from thirty years of her work, and including some of her haunting photography, this book creates a portrait of a life lived under duress, a voice in danger of being silenced, and a spirit that is shaken but so far indomitable. Liu Xia's poems are potent, acute moments of inquiry that peel back to expose the fraught complexity of an interior world. They are felt and insightful, colored through with political constraints even as they seep beyond those constraints and toward love.

En una noche oscura: Poesía completa y selección de prosa
by San Juan De la CruzLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «Volé tan alto, tan alto,que le di a la caza alcance.» El halo de misterio y trascendencia que gira en torno a la obra de San Juan de la Cruz le ha convertido, junto a Santa Teresa de Jesús, en uno de los poetas místicos más representativos de nuestra tradición. Tanto su prosa como su breve obra poética han generado un sinfín de interpretaciones que abarcan desde los aspectos más puramente literarios hasta la profundidad filosófica de sus escritos. No es de extrañar, pues, que Dámaso Alonso le considerara el poeta más complejo de nuestra tradición cuando advirtió: «Dejémonos de Góngora. Las mayores dificultades de la poesía española nos las ofrece San Juan de la Cruz». La presente edición está a cargo de Anna Serra, doctora en humanidades y experta en la obra de San Juan de la Cruz. Su meticulosa selección de los escritos esenciales adentra al lector en el mundo e imaginario de esta gran figura del misticismo español.
Enamel Eyes, a Fantasia on Paris, 1870: Poems
by Jay RogoffIn lyric poetry with the dramatic sweep of a historical novel, Jay Rogoff’s Enamel Eyes, a Fantasia on Paris, 1870 reimagines “the terrible year” when the Franco-Prussian War shook the City of Lights. The great comic ballet Coppélia had dazzled Paris and Emperor Napoleon III mere weeks before war erupted; in retrospect, the ballet’s obsession with a mechanical woman anticipated the conflict’s mechanized violence. Using multiple voices and poetic forms, Rogoff skillfully recreates the wonder and horror of these months of siege through the eyes of both ordinary and famous Parisians. From political figures like Empress Eugénie and artists including Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet to sixteen-year-old Giuseppina Bozzacchi and other dancers in the premiere of Coppélia, the characters of Enamel Eyes bear witness to a surreal year that changed Paris and the lives of its citizens forever.
