Book Description
Poetry. Translated by Austin Carder. Featuring an introduction by Adonis. The first book-length translation of works by this important Egyptian-born, Lebanese-French poet, POETRIES presents the core of Georges Schehadè's (1905-1989) úuvre. Though best known as a dramatist, Schehadè was first and foremost a poet. His lifework was the seven volumes of crystalline poems published over a span of nearly a half-century (1938-1985), each successive volume simply and enigmatically titled POETRIES. It is from these seven books that our selection has been drawn. In 1986, the Acadèmie Francaise awarded Georges Schehadè the inaugural Grand Prix de la Francophonie. Despite having received wide admiration from his contemporaries--including Max Jacob, Octavio Paz, Andrè Breton, and Paul Eluard--the poetry of Georges Schehadè is virtually unknown today, with this collection being the very first translated into English. In his translator's note, Austin Carder calls this collection "a lullaby or an enigmatic fairytale told before bed. Its tone is one of self-sufficient prayer--a pronouncement rather than a plea--addressed to no one in particular and to anyone. These weathered songs key into the language of music, not by approximating its effects but by innervating sparks of meaning that flash forth...Schehadè's broken-off parables convulse with the dual beauty of both hymn and elegy." "Floating up as if from the weave of the page itself, these perfectly pitched versions of Georges Schehadè's Les Poèsies convey a mysterious sense of the inevitable. One couldn't ask more of a translation, and with the gift of this one Austin Carder gives us (and English) a haunting new poet of magical clarity and uncanny quiet. This is a beautiful book."--Peter Cole

Opposing Poetries: Readings
Author: Hank Lazer
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 9780810114142
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Explains to structural engineers some of the basic equations for analyzing and designing buildings that were devised at the end of the 19th century but were so unmanageably complex to solve that they were displaced by approximation techniques until the recent advent of electronic computer. Heyman (engineering, U. of Cambridge) warns that some of the equations turn out not to fit reality as close as future occupants of buildings might prefer, and explains how to use them and in what context.

Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Begins a series presenting collections of survey articles pivoting around the notion of computation. The inaugural topics include generalized rational approximation subject to linear constraints, matrix exponential approximations in the numerical solution of differential equations, unbounded fan-in circuits, and fixpoint semantics for a Petri net model of definite clause logic programs. Each article is self-contained and all assume a high sophistication in mathematics. Future volumes may focus on a special subfield such as computational graph theory, approximation, or computability.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Poetries – Politics: A Celebration of Language, Art, and Learning celebrates the best of innovative humanities pedagogy and creative graphic design. Designed and implemented during a time of political divisiveness, the Poetries – Politics project created a space of inviting, multilingual walls on the Rutgers campus, celebrating diversity, community, and cross-cultural exchange. This book, like the original project, provides a platform for the incredible generative power of student-led work. Essays feature the perspectives of three students and professors originally involved in the project, reflecting on their learning and exploring the works they selected for the original exhibition. The essays lead to a beautifully illustrated catalogue of the original student designs. Reproduced in full color and with the accompanying poems in both their original language and a translation, this catalogue commemorates the incredible creative spirit of the project and provides a new way of contemplating these great poetic works.

Unfinished Poetries
Author: Victoria Rahman
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
“Unfinished Poetries” is a book of courage, love, happiness, loss, heartbreak, hope, frustration, despair, anger, philosophical and existential ruminations, and God. The poems are born of mundane everyday events experienced by the poet and her somewhat fertile imagination, giving an interesting interpretation to each. The bubbling potential of a close friend on the cusp of starting out her life journey, the broken taillight of her car, which helps identify her from afar, the broken mug, now converted into a flower pot, the blue-colored walls of her bedroom, the moldy fungus, growing on the leather covering of her dairy during the rainy months, the loss of a dear friend moving away, the broken heart and wounded soul from a relationship(s) gone sour, vacant musings on some lazy Sunday afternoons, inspirations from reading the works of other budding writers, hope for the future, have contributed to each of the pennings. She does not hesitate to lay herself bare, that is what makes this book, an interesting and compelling read.

Serurubele Poetries
Author: Kano Shoro
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9956762326
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Serurubele Poetries is a collection of poetry written from the perspective of a young (South) African female. The poems range from prose poetry to one-liner musings. With the life cycle of a butterfly as its basis, the collection asks the reader to go through the metamorphosis. The poems seek to playfully, seriously, honestly, fictitiously live and breathe beyond just the writers imagination because that is where many of them were formed and remain. The poems never stop seeking to reflect the intersections between particularities and universalisms, multiple voices and realities, as well as the nuances embedded in any given experience.

Didactic Poetries
Author: Philippe Beck
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1945414138
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Complex, haunting, imaginative and profoundly literary, Didactic Poetries is Beck’s response to Schiller’s statement: “We are still waiting for a didactic poem where thought itself would be and would remain poetic,” and Hegel’s claim that, “strictly speaking, didactic poetry isn’t poetry.” For the acclaimed French poet, Philippe Beck, Schiller’s task of attempting a didactic poetry remains as vital today as it was for Schiller’s time. Is there a way to construct a poetry built and chiseled, hammered and stitched, from out of past narratives and poetries, condensed in such a manner as to make new poetic verses sing new truths? Forging a singular attempt to echo the poets and tales of a bygone age, Beck’s didactic poetries perhaps carve out the path for renewing a poetic thought as a quasi-musical atmosphere where the reader can glimpse “A small country “sculpted” as spiritual, supposed to be so at home in the Bygone Country. Alluvial layers so light, that weather disappeared, weary of variety a priori.” Beck’s deftly textured poems interweave contemporary commentary with cultural, historical, literary, and philosophical allusions, drawing the reader into a world of lived poetic experience.

Teaching Modern Latin American Poetries
Author: Jill S. Kuhnheim
Publisher: Modern Language Association
ISBN: 1603294104
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The essays in this book, groundbreaking for its focus on teaching Latin American poetry, reflect the region's geographic and cultural heterogeneity. They address works from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Uruguay, as well as from indigenous communities found within these national distinctions, including the Kaqchikel Maya and Zapotec. The volume's essays help instructors teach poetry written from the second half of the twentieth century on, meaningfully connecting this contemporary corpus with older poetic traditions. Contributors address teaching various topics, from the silva and the long poem to Afro-descendant poetry, in ways that bring performance, digital approaches, queer theory, and translation into action. The insights offered here will demonstrate how Latin American poetry can become a part of classes in African diasporic studies, indigenous studies, history, and anthropology.
