Book Description
Pablo Neruda was without doubt one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but his work is extremely uneven. There is a view that there are two Nerudas, an early Romantic visionary and a later Marxist populist, who denied his earlier poetic self. By focussing on the poet's apprenticeship, and by looking closely at how Neruda created his poetic persona within his poems, this Companion tries to establish what should survive of his massive output. By seeing his early work as self exploration through metaphor and sound, as well as through varieties of love and direct experience, the Companion outlines a unity behind all the work, based on voice and a public self. Neruda's debt to reading and books is studied in depth and the change in poetics re-examined by concentrating on the early work up to Residencia en la tierra I and II and why he wanted to become a poet. Debate about quality and representativity is grounded in his Romantic thinking, sensibility and sincerity. Unlike a Borges or a Paz who accompanied their creative work with analytical essays, Neruda distilled all his experiences into his poems, which remainhis true biography. Jason Wilson is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies, University College London.

Instead of modernity
Author: Andrew Ginger
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526147831
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
This book revisits the claim that a key dimension of cultural modernity – understood as a turn to the autonomy of the signs and the erasure of the 'face of man' - arose in the mid-nineteenth century. It presents an alternative to that obsession, focusing instead on the aesthetic appreciation of forms through which connections are realised across place and time. The book is one of few to offer a comparative approach to numerous major writers and artists of this period over diverse countries. Specifically, the comparative approach overcomes the constitutively ambiguous relation between the modern and the Hispanic. The Hispanic is often imagined as at once foundational for and excluded from the modern world. Its reincorporation into the story of the mid-century unsettles the notion of modernity. The book offers instead an experiment in writing, tracing commonalities across place and time, and drawing on mid-century expressions of such likenesses.

Remembrance
Author: Alejandra Warden
Publisher: Albion-Andalus Books
ISBN: 9781953220127
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
"Alejandra is a highly respected leader and role model in both childhood education and spiritual development. Her book, Remembrance, offers us a vision of the evolution of human life on Earth grounded in a mature feminine wisdom. It is a story of the energetic power of love as a universal force behind the creation of all life. It is a story of how humanity has been created to mirror the universe to itself and how human beings are endowed with the capacity to rediscover the essence of love that is at the heart of their existence. With this rediscovery of who we really are, life on Earth is healed from the trauma of centuries of abuse." - Edward W. Bastian, Ph.D., author of InterSpiritual Meditation and Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path "Sensitive mystic and spiritual teacher, Alejandra Warden, invites us into a richly descriptive and cellular journey back to our essential and shared nature, that of the "golden substance" of "primordial love" and Oneness. Guided by the ancestral feminine and the angelic, Alejandra serves as a conduit for a mythopoetic narrative of Earth's birthing, nonlinear knowing, embodiment, loss, and a call to remembrance. May we accept her beautiful gift of wisdom and listen deeply, particularly at this crucial time." - Juliet Rohde-Brown Ph.D., author of Imagine Forgiveness, and Chair of Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices specialization of the Depth Psychology program, Pacifica Graduate Institute
