Book Description
Bilingual French-English collections of The Uruguayan-born twentieth-century French poet, Jules Supervielle (1884-1960). This anthology contains ten tales and two chapters from the memoir "Uruguay", along with seventeen poems (some seemingly longer than his shortest tales). All poems appear bilingually, in French and English; prose appears only in English. His tales and poems are exhilarating, spun out as they are in his distinctive voice: transparent, forthright, tender, funny, poignant, sometimes bitingly satiric, by turns lyrical and abrupt

The Woman on the Bridge Over the Chicago River
Author: Allen R. Grossman
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 9780811207157
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
The Woman on the Bridge over the Chicago River is Allen Grossman's first collection with New Directions. His voice is astonishingly contemporary, his often dissociated imagery bordering on the surreal--yet one hears in his verse classical and Biblical echoes and, on occasion, darker medieval undertones. The brilliance of his imagination works against a measured eloquence, setting up a fine-edged tension not unlike the prophetic verse of William Blake, the wild dithyrambs of David, or the more controlled metrics of Catullus and Villon.

New Selected Poems, 1970-1985
Author: Jerome Rothenberg
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 9780811209977
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Acclaimed poet and translator, editor of such ground-breaking journals and anthologies as Alcheringa and Technicians of the Sacred, pioneer in the fields of performance poetry and ethnopoetics, Jerome Rothenberg is a literary radical and a major force in American poetry. Gathered here in his New Selected Poems 1970-1985 are pivotal poems from four previous New Directions collections, Poland/1931 (1974), A Seneca Journal (1978), Vienna Blood (1980), and That Dada Strain (1983). Rothenberg describes his new selection as "an attempt to isolate in the work of the last fifteen years (and a little more) the thread of a single long poem or sequence [in which] figures and voice's without context in the earlier books...find a location and a shape." Open-ended, explorative, and exuberantly and irreverently epic, the sequence ends with two new and previously uncollected poems, "15 Flower World Variations" and "Visions of Jesus."
