collected poems 1934 1952 dylan thomas

With an Introduction and Notes by Sally MinogueDylan Thomas wrote some of the best-known and best-loved poems of the twentieth century, amongst them â ˜Do not go gentle into that good nightâ ™, â ˜Fern Hillâ ™ and â ˜The force that through the green fuse drives the flowerâ ™. This edition reproduces the Collected Poems 1934-1952 which the poet authorised just before his tragically early death at the age of 39 and which contains, as he said, â ˜most of the poems I have written, and all, up to the present year, I wish to preserveâ ™. His was a precocious talent: his first poem was published nationally at the age of 18, and his first collection, 18 Poems, was published when he was just 20. In spite of his early death, he therefore left behind a substantial and significant body of work, represented here. His poems cover the span of birth to death, while at their heart is a lyrical, joyful impulse that celebrates life.  The Introduction and Notes set Thomasâ ™s poetry in their cultural (including their Welsh) context and poetic tradition, and offer ways in to a poetry which is highly crafted, and rich in language and emotion.Â

With an Introduction, Bibliography and Glossary by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature University of Kent at Canterbury.Thomas Hardy started composing poetry in the heyday of Tennyson and Browning. He was still writing with unimpaired power sixty years later, when Eliot and Yeats were the leading names in the field. His extraordinary stamina and a consistent individuality of style and vision made him a survivor, immune to literary fashion. At the start of the twenty-first century his reputation stands higher than it ever did, even in his own lifetime.He is now recognised not only as a great poet, but as one who is widely loved. He speaks with directness, humanity and humour to scholarly or ordinary readers alike.

This collection of the work of one of the greatest modern poets was first published in America in 1954. The Collected Poems was prepared by Stevens himself, shortly before his death, and contains all of his published books of poetry, covering more than four decades: from the brilliant rococo lyrics of Harmonium, through the large-scale orchestrations of his middle years, to the magnificent austere lyrics of The Rock , which first appeared in the Collected Poems, Stevens s poetry meditated unremittingly upon the relation between the world and the imagination. He seems to me - and sems to my readers, I am sure - one of the true poets of our century, someone whom the world will keep on reading just as it keeps on listening to Vivaldi or Scarlatti, looking at Tiepolo or Poussin. His best poems are the poetry of a man fully human - of someone sympathetic, magnanimous, both brightly and deeply intelligent; the poems see, feel, and think with equal success; they treat with mastery that part of existence which allows of mastery, and experience the rest of it with awe or sadness or delight. - Randall Jarrell, Poetry and the Age One of the most considerable poets of the last hundred years...Poems that are as distinguished as any written in this century. - Thom Gunn, London Magazine

During her lifetime Marianne Moore was that rarest of combinations, a genuine leader in the art of poetry, as well as a bona fide celebrity. She was an instantly recognisable symbol of Brooklyn, New York, appearing on the cover of Life magazine, asked by the Ford Motor Company to christen their new family sedan, and by the New York Yankees to throw the opening pitch of their baseball season. However, because of Mooreâ ™s restless, seldom-ceasing, decade-spanning revision of her own poems, creating a â ˜stableâ ™ text of her work has posed editors a challenge ever since. Moore tackled the problem herself: Complete Poems (1967) was her own selection, but she favoured the later work, including less than half of her output up to that point. â ˜Omissions are not accidents,â ™ she wrote pointedly in that edition, but for some readers the absence of more than one hundred poems constituted a wilful neglect of her startlingly innovative, highly influential early work, and contributed to Mooreâ ™s undervaluing as a â ˜modernistâ ™ poet. Marianne Moore scholar Heather Cass White has prepared an edition of poems that, for the first time, presents the full range of Mooreâ ™s work in its published order, while honouring the complex textual lives of the poems. With an inviting introduction and meticulous notes, the New Collected Poems of Marianne Moore is the first definitive text of this most celebrated writer, whose poems form part, as T. S. Eliot declared, of â ˜the small body of durable poetry written in our timeâ ™.

A landmark collection of poems from the author of Cider with RosieLaurie Lee is beloved for his writing on a lost rural world. His evocative poetry springs from his deep connection with nature, as he tracks the seasons changing and the years turning over. Yet Lee s poems also captured war, human relationships and distant places, informed by his own experiences of lives uprooted by change and conflict. Written during the course of his lifetime, the verses brought together in Collected Poems range over Lee playing his fiddle in a Spanish town; ecstatic in springtime of his beloved Slad valley; or digging for faith in the depths of winter. Gathered in one volume for the first time, and including a generous selection of previously unseen verses from Lee s archives, these timeless, poignant poems show him expressing the essence of life, love and loss.

Burleskní Příhody při shazování kůží, podle nichž je nazván celý tento soubor autorových próz, jsou tvořeny úvodními kapitolami zamýšlené novely, na které Thomas pracoval především v květnu a červnu 1941; dochovaný fragment líčí vzdorný odjezd Sama Benneta z provinčního maloměsta do Londýna, města horlivých mrtvol , kde mladík prochází absurdní iniciací. Druhou část svazku tvoří krátké, vysoce básnické prózy z rozmezí let 1933-1939. Texty spojuje autorova divoká imaginace a symboly zatížený styl, dotýkají se mystéria smrti a zrození člověka, děj místy ustupuje magičnosti výrazu a sexuální obsese se snoubí s náboženskými obrazy. Srážející se shluky představ vytvářejí čarovně znepokojivou krásu. Legendární velšský básník Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) patří k největším lyrikům 20. století. Z jeho básnického díla vyšly výbory v překladech Jiřiny Haukové a Pavla Šruta, povídkový soubor Portrét umělce jako štěněte (1940) přeložil Petr Pujman, rozhlasovou hru Pod mléčným lesem (1953) Antonín Přidal a drobnou vzpomínku Vánoce jednoho kluka z Walesu (1945) Petr Eliáš. Vydáním Příhod při shazování kůží získává český čtenář Thomasovo literární dílo víceméně v úplnosti.

Michael Longley has been called one of the finest lyric poets of our time . In assembling the work of forty years, his Collected Poems displays a brilliantly sustained achievement whose depth, beauty and wit can now be fully appreciated. Longley s poetry combines intense concentration with remarkable variety. The formal and thematic range laid down in No Continuing City (1969) has undergone a series of rich metamorphoses up to Snow Water (2004), and the two poems included here as an epilogue. Longley s genres span love poetry, war poetry, nature poetry, elegies, satires, verse epistles, poems that reflect on art and the art of poetry. He has extended the capacity of the lyric to absorb dark matter: the Great War, the Holocaust, the Northern Irish Troubles . His poetic landscape intermingles Belfast (where he lives), western Ireland, Italy, Japan and Homeric Greece. Longley s superb translations from classical poets (such as Ceasefire , which greets the IRA ceasefire in terms of the Iliad) speak to contemporary issues while activating the deepest sources of European poetry.

It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career.The Collected Poems is the most complete edition of Beckett s poetry and verse translations ever to be published, as well as the first critical edition. It establishes a significant new canon, and the commentary draws on a wide range of published sources, manuscripts and Beckett s extensive correspondence. The notes place each poem in context, detailing the history and circumstances of its composition; they indicate significant variants and help explain obscure turns of phrase and allusions (frequently sourced to Beckett s notebooks); they also identify resonances between poems and across Beckett s work as a whole. The commentary is written in a lively and engaging style and is intended equally for the general reader, the student of modernism and the Beckett specialist.

RS Thomas was the greatest religious poet writing in English in the 20th century, but the 270 poems he chose for this definitive selection reveal a wide range of themes and concerns. He was a passionate Welsh patriot, but also an outspoken critic of his countrymen. His poems are an expression of his lifelong argument with himself, of his insistent search for God. In them he grapples with ideas of Welshness, with issues of technology, pollution, the decline of culture. He wrote too about love, about landscape, nature and birds. His is an urgent, prophetic and unique voice.

Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York.This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads.He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell s hard-hitting account of Kipling s poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his very self into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman s greatness, described him as one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them . For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats s work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.

The centenary of Patrick Kavanagh s birth in 2004 provides the ideal opportunity to reappraise one of modern Ireland s greatest poets. From a harsh, humble background that he himself described so brilliantly, Kavanagh burst through immense constraints to redefine Irish poetry - a poetry appropriate for a fully independent country, both politically and culturally. Moving beyond Irish verse s preoccupation with history, national politics and identity, he turned to the land and scenery of his native Inniskeen, portraying the closely-observed minutiae of everyday rural and urban life in an uninhibited, groundbreaking style. Lucid, various, direct and engaging, Kavanagh s poems have a unique place in the canon and a unique accessibility. This major new edition is the culmination of many years of work by Antoinette Quinn in creating authoritative texts for Kavanagh s poetry - from his early works such as Inniskeen Road: July Evening to his masterpiece, the epic The Great Hunger , allowing us to see the development of Kavanagh s genius as never before.
