Penguin Modern Poets 7 - These Hard And Shining Things

de Geoffrey Hill, Rowan Evans e Toby Martinez De Las Rivas

8,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Grappling with nature, religion, violence and politics, poems of lucid intensity and astonishing power from three remarkable British poets Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016) was often considered the greatest English-language poet of his generation.Penguin Modern Poets 7: God Is Distant gathers a selection spanning Hill''s full body of poetry, from the astonishing power and compression of the first five decades to the greater experimentalism and fluency of the creative outpouring that began in 1997, and places it alongside work by two younger British poets: Rowan Evans, whose ''tirelessly inventive'' and ''vivid lyrical work'' (Denise Riley, Eric Gregory Award citation) plays with the legacy of late modernism to create poetry of great beauty, energy and precision; and Toby Martinez de las Rivas, whose first two collections have seen his ''visionary disposition'' (Guardian) build to rhetorical heights of Blakean dimensions. Taken together, these are poems of lucid intensity, high seriousness and knowing sidelong glances, as alert to the natural world of the British countryside as they are to the body that suffers and to questions of the soul. They take a long view of humanity''s riches and crises, and consider along the way such issues as morality, faith, innocence, redemption, the public spaces of democracy and the acts of violence that rupture them, as well as that patron animal of the Modern Poets series: the urban fox.

"Is it any wonder I''ve got too much blood on my hands? The calls are coming from inside the house. I''m sick of my insane demands." - Michael Robbins, ''Peel Off the Scabs'' ". . . The childhood of the dunk was no childhood at all. He practiced on a paper route, throwing The Sun to the same place each morning. Did not sleep long but when he slept, the springs of his bed imparted something to him. At night the streetlight floated down and let him dribble it." - Patricia Lockwood, ''The Descent of the Dunk'' "if my signal drops it''s because i''ve climbed with them, we''re so high now i can in one single inverted yawn of my eyes full of skin and sex and fury see the whole city i so slowly streetlamp by streetlamp from the other side spent my life seeing in a drowning "and this one boy here he''s doing he''s doing a painting, it''s the last day of august, it''s a painting of a bed and" - Timothy Thornton, ''Voicemail for David Hoyle''

Penguin Modern Poets 5 - Occasional Wild Parties

de Frederick Seidel, Kathryn Maris e Sam Riviere

8,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Occasional Wild Parties brings together Sam Riviere, one of the most discussed of the new generation of British poets, whose ''post-internet'' poetry sees him acting now as scribe, now as DJ, taking in everything from technologized romance to celebrity culture as filtered through Kim Kardashian''s make-up routine; the ''elegant ghoul'' Frederick Seidel, zooming through the dark underbelly of international high society on his Ducati racing bike; and the wonderfully observant Kathryn Maris, whose work ranges with a dark wit over incomprehensible deities, wayward mothers, the politics of children''s sports contests, and psychoanalysis. All three lift the lid on their corners of civilized society to show the less glittering realities that lie just beneath the surface. "On the verge of perpetrating acts of artistic barbarism "I perceived a spoon as the title of a plate of food" - SAM RIVIERE, ''Mindfulness'' "Deer garter-belt across our vision And stand there waiting for our decision. "Our only decision was how to cook the venison. I am civilized but I see the silence And write the words for the thought balloon." - FREDERICK SEIDEL, ''Kill Poem'' "The man in the basement wrote stories about heroin. The woman in the attic read stories with heroines. The woman in the attic noticed a bruise that ran from the top to the base of her thigh. The bruise looked like Europe. The man in the basement was in love with the sister of the secretive man who loved him more. He whooped to the woman, ''You killed your student?'' To himself he wept, ''I killed my father.''" - KATHRYN MARIS, ''The House with Only an Attic and a Basement''

And I was grown up, with your face on, heating spice after spice to smoke out the smell of books, to burn the taste buds off this bitten tongue, avoid ever speaking of you." - Emily Berry, ''Her Inheritance'' "If you are not the free person you want to be you must find a place to tell the truth about that. To tell how things go for you." - Anne Carson, ''Candor'' "I had a moment there among the balustrades and once that moment had expired it graduated from a moment to a life" - Sophie Collins, ''Dear No. 24601''
