Mé nebe za tvou zem - Elizabeth Barrett-Browningová, Robert Browning - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Komentář k původní LP 1 18 2363 z roku 1978: V roce 1845 napsal Robert Browning, tehdy ještě málo známý anglický básník, mnohými považovaný za stěží srozumitelného excentrika, dopis slečně Elizabeth Barrettové, tehdy již proslulé básnířce, jejíž verše se těšily značné popularitě. V dopise ji poděkoval za to, že ve své poslední sbírce citovala s porozuměním jeho verše, a zároveň vyjádřil svůj obdiv k její poezii. Důvodem k napsání dopisu bylo v neposlední řadě i básníkovo dobré srdce - o slečně Barrettové se vědělo, že je vážně nemocná a nikdy neopouští svůj pokoj. Tento dopis, na který Elizabeth Barrettová odpověděla, měl pro život obou korespondentů dalekosáhlé následky. Začali si psát pravidelně - málo sdílný a velmi rezervovaný básník nalezl konečně někoho, komu se mohl svěřovat se svými plány, myšlenkami a záměry, a chorobně plachá žena, která se s výjimkou své rodiny stýkala se světem jen prostřednictvím korespondence, přemohla svůj ostych natolik, že o půl roku později povolila svému příteli z dopisů první návštěvu. Psali si téměř každý den po dobu půldruhého roku a napsali mimoděk (na 1200 stranách) příběh vlastní lásky, o které do poslední chvíle nevěděli, jak skončí. Bylo třeba nejdříve překonat úzkosti a obavy nemocné ženy, o šest let starší než Browning, že svým spojením s milovaným mužem přinese do jeho života jen zármutek a starosti, a také vyrovnat se s nepřekonatelným odporem jejího podivínského otce, který tvrdě požadoval, aby žádné z jeho jedenácti dospělých dětí neuzavíralo sňatek. Nakonec se musela dát Elizabeth Baarrettová s Browningem tajně oddat a odjela s ním do Itálie. Usadili se nejdříve v Pise a později ve Florencii, kde se jim narodil syn Robert Wiedermann, později známý malíř. V Itálii strávili patnáct let svého manželství, až do smrti E. B. Browningové, která zemřela ve Florencii v roce 1861. Robert Browning měl v době, kdy napsal první dopis E. Barrettové, za sebou vydání dramatické básně Paracelsus, básnický epos Sordello a první malé svazečky pásma lyrické a epické poezie, které nazval Zvonky a granátová jablka. Byla v nich jedna z jeho nejlepších básní Pippa jde mimo. Za svého pobytu v Itálii vytvořil řadu dramatických monologů, které vydal v obsáhlé sbírce Muži a ženy. Po smrti E. B. Browningové se usadil znovu v Londýně, aby poskytl synovi anglickou výchovu. Ještě za pobytu v Itálii ho zaujala drobná knížka líčící kdysi proslavený hrdelní proces a osudy jeho protagonistů. Browning zachytil průběh této hrdelní pře ve směle koncipované básni o 20 000 veršů, kterou nazval Prsten a kniha. Současníci, kritici, i čtenáři vytýkali dlouho jeho poezii přílišnou složitost, nesrozumitelnost, přetíženost historickými narážkami a metaforami. Nakonec jej však přece uznání neminulo. Po souborném vydání proslulost jeho díla časem vzrůstala (dožil se 82 let) a vyvrcholila založením Browningovské společnosti, jejímiž členy se stala řada jeho vynikajících současníků. Z díla E. B. Browninové přetrvává dosud rozsáhlý epos Aurora Leigh. Dějovou osnovou je velmi poplatný své době, ale jeho jádro tvoří již moderní svár mezi přáním ženy stát se pomocí své práce samostatnou ucelenou osobností a její touhou najít životní naplnění v lásce k milovanému muži. Nejvíce čteno a vydáváno je však oněch 44 dokonalých milostných sonetů - jak je nazval R. M. Rilke -, které vznikaly téměř souběžně s její korespondencí s Robertem Browningem a pod názvem Portugalské sonety jsou známy milovníkům poezie na celém světě. Korespondence Roberta Browninga a E. B. Barrettové vyšla v obsáhlém výboru v nakladatelství Odeon pod názvem Milý pane Browningu. Tyto dopisy, které si vyměnili v období let 1845 a 1846, tvoří zákonitou část literárního odkazu obou básníků. S niternou naléhavostí a vůlí k pravdě je v nich zachyceno v co věřili, doufali a co jeden v druhém nalezli. Hana Žantovská Každé zveřejnění soukromé korespondence je záležitostí nejen literární, nýbrž především etickou. Jestliže jsme se rozhodli zařadit korespondenci Elisabeth Barrettové s Robertem Browningem do repertoáru Violy (premiéru měla pod názvem Mé nebe za tvou zem 14. prosince 1973 a těší se dosud zájmu publika), bylo to také proto, že oba básníci se nevyhýbali tématu vzájemného vztahu ani ve svých verších. V nich jej zjevili - především básnířka - už svým současníkům, i když třeba pod průhlednou kamufláží: Elisabet Barrett Browningová nazvala své básně Portugalské sonety a vydávala je za překlad. Autorčiny verše zpětně vyvolaly zájem také o korespondenci. A tu se ukázalo, že milostné sonety slečny Barrettové - jedny z nejkrásnějších milostných sonetů světové poezie - jsou básnickou parafrází jejích dopisů. Z této skutečnosti vychází i náš scénář (jeho původní, dvojnásobná verze připravená pro Violu vznikla ve spolupráci s překladatelkou Hanou Žantovskou, která pro tento účel vybrala a přeložila básně Roberta Browninga). Dopis je proto doplňován, komentován, zobecněn, povýšen ze soukromého sdělení k objektivní hodnotě literární právě vřaz

The Collected Poems - Robert Frost
No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. In iconic poems like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, simple images summon the rural landscape of New England, and Frost unfailingly moves the reader with his profound grasp of the human condition. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative volume of Frost s verse available, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Review The most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living (T. S. Eliot) Frost was the first American poet who could honestly be reckoned a master-poet by world standards (Robert Graves) Robert Frost has passed into the poetic pantheon (Independent) Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost s is most likely to stand the test of time (Lewis Gannett) About the Author Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After the death of his father he moved with his mother and sister to Massachusetts. His first collection, A Boy s Will, was published in 1913. In 1924 he won the first of four Pulitzer Prizes for his fourth book, New Hampshire. In the 1930s, as he became ever more revered, he suffered a series of family tragedies: his youngest child Marjorie died in 1934, his wife Elinor in 1938, and his son Carol in 1940. Another daughter, Irma, suffered from mental illness. Frost s last major collection, A Witness Tree (1942), contains a number of poems reflecting these disasters. In 1957 Robert Frost received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He died in January 1963.

Po J. W. Goethovi, bratřích Grimmových atd. a před Waltem Disneyem či Viktorem Dykem atd. nejproslulejší verzi tohoto příběhu vytvořil anglický básník Robert Browning (1812–1889). Kniha s původními ilustracemi Kate Greenawayové (1846–1901) a ve dvojjazyčné úpravě vychází v češtině poprvé.

The Pied Piper Of Hamelin - Robert Browning
First published in 1842, Robert Browning s poetic version of the legend about the lost children of Hamelin is sub-titled A Child s Story and was originally intended only for the private enjoyment of Willie Macready, young son of the famous actor. Once in print, it became a perennial favourite with generations of children (and compilers of poetry anthologies for children!) Kate Greenaway s illustrations, engraved by her regular printer Edmund Evans, were first published in 1888 and have become as popular as the poem itself, being considered by John Ruskin to be her finest work.

It opens with an illuminating introduction in which Longley makes a persuasive case for the importance of this remarkable poet.

Poems Of Mourning
Many cultures identify mourning as the very source of poetry and music, what Elizabeth Bishop calls the art of losing. That might well be the title of this collection. Not every poem is cornered with death, but all are about loss. The poems chosen traverse a surprisingly wide range of emotions from despair to joy, resignation to anger, all articulated in language of the greatest power and beauty . All the major verse forms of mourning are represented here: epitaph, requiem and lament. Three great elergies by Milton, Whitman and Rilke are surrounded by a wide variety of shorter poems. Naturally, the pathos of death predominates, but its comedy has not been neglected, whether in the savage poems of World War I or the gentle teasing of seventeenth-century satire. Poets include: Akhmatova, Auden, Bishop, Brodsky, Browning, Carew, Cory, Cowley, Dickinson, Donne, Dryden, Dyer, Fletcher, Graves, Gurney, Hardy, Harrison, Herrick, Hopkins, Horace, King, Leopardi, Lowell, MacCaig, Mandelstam, Milosz, Philips, Propertius, Roethke, Smith, Tennyson, Dylan Thomas, Edward Thomas and Wordsworth.

The Prelude and Other Poems - William Wordsworth
â œThough absent long,These forms of beauty have not been to me,As is a landscape to a blind manâ ™s eye:But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the dinOf towns in cities, I have owed to them,In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,Felt in the blood, and felt along the heartâ William Wordsworthâ ™s verse was the embodiment of the Romantic age, with its evocation of a unifying spirit running through all things. This collection brings together a rich and diverse selection of his works, from the epic autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude to much-loved shorter poems such as â ˜I Wandered Lonely as a Cloudâ ™ and â ˜She Was a Phantom of Delightâ ™. Alongside his more personal and introspective compositions, poems such as â ˜Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbeyâ ™, â ˜She Dwelt among the Untrodden Waysâ ™ and â ˜The Idiot Boyâ ™ demonstrate, in an era of political and social ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through the publication of Lyrical Ballads â “ one that embraced the vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry â “ and thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever.

Pán světa - Robert Hughes Benson
Dramatický příběh mladého manželského páru, Mabel a Olivera Brandových, začíná v prvním desetiletí 21. století. Oliver, vysoce postavený činovník anglického olitického života, s napětím pozoruje zhoršující se politickou situaci, kdy se zdá, že střetnutí Západu a Východu je nevyhnutelné a povede k Armagedonu. O to víc úzkostí prožívá jeho milující žena, nadšená stoupenkyně humanismu a lidského života. Postoj Ameriky k válce je nejistý, ale náhle, jakoby zázrakem, se v nejvyšších politických kruzích objevuje Julian Felsenburg, muž bez chyby, který dokáže utišit rozbroje a nastolit všeobecný mír a pokoj. Je to vítězství lidství a rozumu. Lidé v tom 21. století vstoupili do nejvyšší, poslední fáze svého vývoje a jejich perspektivy jsou nekonečné. Felsenburg je esencí všeho přirozeně lidského a je ideově propojen se všemi lidmi a s pravdou. Lidstvo pochopilo, že člověk je Bůh a Julián je jeho první ztělesnění. Jen zbytky katolíků odporují a někteří zfanatizovaní jedinci se neštítí atentátů a vražd. Protipól Juliana, Percy Franklin, katolický kněz, fyzicky téměř dvojče Juliana, s obtížemi bojuje proti nádherné vizi nového Člověka - Boha. Robert Hugh Benson knihu napsal v prvním desetiletí 20. století. Můžeme obdivovat jeho fantazii s jakou předvídal vzhled světa o sto let později: autostrády a železniční koridory spojující města vozy jedoucími rychlostí 240 km/hod, vedle nich pomalejší a ještě pomalejší až po cyklostezky, leteckou dopravu s rychlými okřídlenými vzducholoděmi umožňující přesun civilistů i armád od jedné strany kontinentu na druhý během několika hodin, umělé světlo, výbušniny schopné zničit svět, rozvinutou eutanazii. Těžiště příběhu však netkví v technické části pokroku. Bensonovi se jedná o osud lidstva, o osud křesťanství. Knihu napsal 42 let před Orwellovým románem 1984, 25 let před Huxleyho Koncem civilizace a 28 let před Čapkovou knihou Válka s mloky. Jeho novátorství si bezpochyby zaslouží pozornost i dnes.

Zárukou kvality by měla mimo jiné být též jména osobností, které se na vzniku knihy podílely: teoretik umění Richard Drury a grafik Robert V. Novák. Kniha svým pojetím překračuje rámec, ve kterém se obvykle prezentace prací architektů pohybují. Svým obrazovým konceptem založeným na kontrastu celoformátových barevných fotografií pořízených v okamžiku dokončení staveb s černobílými fotkami abstrahovaných modelů a se záběry ze soudobého života těchto staveb přináší originální pohled na způsob prezentace kvalitní soudobé architektury.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary - Oxford Languages
From the beginning, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary was intended to be an abridgement of the full Oxford English Dictionary. The first editor, William Little, was appointed in 1902. He worked on it until his death in 1922, after which the dictionary was completed by H. W. Fowler, Jessie Coulson, and C. T. Onions. The First Edition was published in 1933, in two volumes. The Second Edition, published in 1936, contained about 3,000 revisions and additions. The Third Edition (1944) contained an appendix of addenda and corrigenda, and this edition was reprinted several times with corrections and additions, the most significant being in 1973, with enlarged addenda (now running to over 70 pages) and a major revision of all the etymologies. The New Shorter was prepared under the editorship of Lesley Brown 1980-1993. It was the first complete revision of the dictionary, being in fact not so much an overhaul of the existing text as a reabridgement of the OED and its Supplements. The Fifth Edition was published in 2002, and reverted to the name Shorter Oxford English Dictionary to emphasize the link between this 2-volume dictionary and the original 20-volume OED. The Sixth Edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary provides a complete update of this unique reference work. Based on the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary contains an incredible one-third of the coverage of the Oxford English Dictionary, is just one-tenth of the size, and includes all words in current English from 1700 to the present day, plus the vocabulary of Shakespeare, the Bible and other major works in English from before 1700. The new edition, with a new introductory essay by language expert David Crystal on the History of English, includes 2,500 new words and senses, plus thousands of antedatings of existing words, drawing on the huge ongoing research project for the Oxford English Dictionary and the wealth of information on language in use provided by the Oxford English Corpus. In addition, the work includes many new quotations from recent authors, a refreshed design, and a complete review of spelling forms and defining vocabulary, making it the most authoritative reference work available for both modern and historical English. For scholars and everyone with a serious interest in the English language, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is an unrivalled resource, providing a unique description of the historical development of the language together with excellent coverage of current English. The Sixth Edition showcases the best of the traditional strengths of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, while bringing it up to date in its scholarship and research, in the design and layout, and in its treatment of the changing face of English.

An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning
Of all the controversies facing historians today, few are more divisive or more important than the question of how the Holocaust was possible. What led thousands of Germans â “ many of them middle-aged reservists with, apparently, little Nazi zeal â “ to willingly commit acts of genocide? Was it ideology? Was there something rotten in the German soul? Or was it â “ as Christopher Browning argues in this highly influential book â “ more a matter of conformity, a response to intolerable social and psychological pressure?Ordinary Men is a microhistory, the detailed study of a single unit in the Nazi killing machine. Browning evaluates a wide range of evidence to seek to explain the actions of the ordinary men who made up reserve Police Battalion 101, taking advantage of the wide range of resources prepared in the early 1960s for a proposed war crimes trial. He concludes that his subjects were not evil; rather, their actions are best explained by a desire to be part of a team, not to shirk responsibility that would otherwise fall on the shoulders of comrades, and a willingness to obey authority. Browning s ability to explore the strengths and weaknesses of arguments â “ both the survivors and other historians â “ is what sets his work apart from other studies that have attempted to get to the root of the motivations for the Holocaust, and it is also what marks Ordinary Men as one of the most important works of its generation.

A Shorter Ulysses
A Shorter Ulysses was intended to serve as a companion volume to Burgess s A Shorter Finnegans Wake, which he was commissioned to create in 1966. This is the first time that Burgess s shortened version of James Joyce s Ulysses has been published. Describing this commission in his autobiography, Burgess explains that he was asked to create a beginner s abridged version of about 200 pages with a commentary to link the passages of Joyce s original text and an explanatory preface. The surviving notes towards A Shorter Ulysses suggest that Burgess envisaged that A Shorter Ulysses would follow a similar format. The document was discovered in Burgess s house in Bracciano, which was purchased in the early 1970s, and thus probably date from this period. Also included in this volume is Burgess s Introduction to Ulysses for a 1982 Book Club Associates edition of the novel. In a brilliant essay opening the book, Burgess manages to convey in just under 3000 words the very essence of the work. His concluding words are: We are, having overcome its difficulties, at last free to appreciate its humour and humanity. Its early denouncers saw mostly filth and ugliness. We can hear its music and rejoice in its tolerance and decency and, yes, affection for fallen man . Last, but certainly not least, this volume includes The Blooms of Dublin, a musical play by Burgess, based on Ulysses. It was first broadcast on BBC radio and Radio Telefis Eireann in February 1982 to celebrate the hundredth birthday of James Joyce, and it was published for the first time in 1986. Burgess had begun developing the work as early as the mid 1960s and, according to him, a draft of the libretto and score had been completed as early as 1971. The draft score was subsequently converted by Burgess into a complete orchestral work in preparation for the radio broadcast. Burgess s biographer and Director of the International Burgess Foundation, Andrew Biswell, provides a foreword to this fascinating volume.

Selected Poems - Burns Robert
This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns s reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic Auld Lang Syne, the romantic A Red, Red Rose, and the patriotic Scots What Hae. As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous range - from comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie s Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.

The Changing Nature of Warfare - Peter Browning
An engaging range of period texts and theme books for AS and A Level history. A succinct survey of the changing complexities of modern warfare - with particular emphasis on land warfare - and offers a useful introduction to this important aspect of European and world history. Peter Browning examines how and why warfare changed betweem 1792 and 1945. He traces the development from the impulse warfare of Napoleon, via the political wars of the mid nineteenth century and the trench warfare of 1914-18, to Blitzkrieg in 1939-45. These practices are studied with reference to the theory of warfare and especially the ideas of Carl von Clausewitz - one of the great theorists of war.

The Browning High-Power Pistol - Leroy Thompson
Making its debut in 1935, the Browning High-Power was the world⠙s most widely used military pistol for much of the 20th century. Military and law-enforcement agencies in more than 90 countries have issued the High-Power and it has seen combat in conflicts from World War II through to the ⠘War on Terror⠙. After conquering Belgium, Nazi Germany produced more than 300,000 High-Powers for use by the Waffen-SS, Fallschirmjäger and others, and after 1945 the High-Power became standard for most NATO-armed forces as well as scores of others. Chambered for the 9×19mm Luger cartridge, John Browning⠙s High-Power improved on the classic Colt M1911 design, especially in its use of a far simpler takedown system. The pistol⠙s innovative 13-round magazine, designed by Dieudonné Saive, staggered the cartridges for higher capacity without unduly increasing the grip size. During its 82-year production run at Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Belgium, the design evolved slightly, but a 2017 High-Power was still easily recognizable as a descendant of the original model. Packed with gripping material including detailed technical specifications, contemporary photographs and highly accurate artist⠙s renditions, this title is a comprehensive and informative guide to the world⠙s most iconic semi-automatic pistol.

The Origins of the Final Solution - Christopher Browning
The Origins of the Final Solution is the most detailed, careful, and comprehensive analysis to date of the descent of the Nazi persecution of the Jews into mass murder: the Holocaust. Arguing that genocide was not a preconceived plan but rather a discovered possibility, Christopher Browning explains how Hitler s decision to murder the Jews en masse emerged in stages and by a process of elimination that gradually foreclosed plans for their expulsion from Europe. Only in the interval between late September and late October 1941 did the desire to remove the Jews intersect with the discovery of acceptable means of killing them on a large scale and with the euphoria of expected victory in Russia, all of which followed on from two years of race war and racial imperialism in eastern Europe that prepared ordinary Germans for this fateful task.

The Poems of T. S. Eliot Volume I - T. S. Eliot
Times Literary Supplement Book of the YearPegasus Award for Poetry Criticism, Poetry Foundation, ChicagoRichard J. Finneran Award, Society for Textual ScholarshipBest Scholarly Edition Award, Modernist Studies AssociationThe Poems of T. S. Eliot is the authoritative edition of one of our greatest poets, scrupulously edited by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue. It provides, for the first time, a fully scrutinized text of Eliot s poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliot s youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time. To accompany Eliot s poems, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the creative activity that came to constitute each poem, calling upon drafts, correspondence and other original materials to provide a vivid account of the poet s working processes, his reading, his influences and his revisions. The first volume respects Eliot s decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication. The second volume opens with the two books of poems of other kinds that he issued, Old Possum s Book of Practical Cats and his translation of Perse s Anabase, moving then to verses privately circulated as informal or improper or clubmanlike. Each of these sections is accompanied by its respective commentary, and then, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history recording variants both manuscript and published. The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets.

Lunch Poems - Frank O
Exquisite hardcover gift edition of the groundbreaking poetry collection by the leader of the New York School of poetry, Frank O Hara. Published on the 50th anniversary of Lunch Poems.Lunch Poems, first published in 1964 by City Lights Books as number nineteen in the Pocket Poets series, is widely considered to be Frank O Hara s freshest and most accomplished collection of poetry. Edited by the poet in collaboration with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Donald Allen, who had published O Hara s poems in his monumental The New American Poetry in 1960, it contains some of the poet s best known works including The Day Lady Died, Ave Maria, and Poem [Lana Turner has collapsed!]. These are the compelling and formally inventive poems—casually composed, for example, in his office at The Museum of Modern Art, in the street at lunchtime or on the Staten Island Ferry en route to a poetry reading—that made O Hara a dynamic leader of the New York School of poets.This new limited 50th anniversary edition contains a preface by John Ashbery and an editor s note by City Lights publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, along with facsimile reproductions of a selection of previously unpublished correspondence between Ferlinghetti and O Hara that shed new light on the preparation of Lunch. I hope that everyone will delight in the new edition of Frank s LUNCH POEMS. The correspondence between Lawrence and Frank is great. Frank was just 33 when he wrote to Lawrence in 1959 and 38 when LUNCH POEMS was published! The fact that City Lights kept Frank s LUNCH POEMS in print all these years has been extraordinary, wonderful and a constant comfort. Hurray for independent publishers and independent bookstores. Many thanks always to Lawrence Ferlinghetti and everyone at City Lights. —Maureen O Hara, sister of Frank O Hara O Hara speaks directly across the decades to our hopes and fears and especially our delights; his lines are as intimate as a telephone call. Few books of his era show less age. —Dwight Garner, New York Times As collections go, none brings . . . quality to the fore more than the thirty-seven Lunch Poems, published in 1964 by City Lights. —Nicole Rudick, The Paris Review What O Hara is getting at is a sense of the evanescence, and the power, of great art, that inextricable contradiction — that what makes it moving and transcendent is precisely our knowledge that it will pass away. This is the ethos at the center of Lunch Poems: not the informal or the conversational for their own sake but rather in the service of something more intentional, more connective, more engaged. —David L. Ulin, Los Angeles TImes The collection broadcasts snark, exuberance, lonely earnestness, and minute-by-minute autobiography to a wide, vague audience—much like today s Twitter and Facebook feeds. —Micah Mattix, The Atlantic

Selected Poems: Donne - John Donne
Showcasing the creative power of one of the most outstanding English Metaphysical Poets, the Penguin Classics edition of John Donne s Selected Poems includes an introduction and notes by Ilona Bell.Regarded by many as the greatest of the Metaphysical poets, John Donne was also among the most intriguing figures of the Renaissance. A sensualist who composed erotic and playful love poetry in his youth, he was raised a Catholic but later became one of the most admired Protestant preachers of his time. The Selected Poems reflects this wide diversity, and includes his youthful Songs and Sonnets, epigrams, elegies, letters, satires, and the profoundly moving Divine Poems composed towards the end of his life. From joyful poems such as The Flea , which transforms the image of a louse into something marvellous, to the intimate and intense Holy Sonnets, Donne breathed new vigour into poetry by drawing lucid and often startling metaphors from the world in which he lived. His poems remain among the most passionate, profound and spiritual in the English language.Ilona Bell s introduction considers Donne s life, faith and influence. This edition also includes detailed notes and a further reading list.John Donne (1572-1631) was born into a family of devout Catholics. He studied at Oxford University, travelled on the continent, and then studied law at Lincoln s Inn. In the early 1600s Donne became a Member of Parliament and Justice of the Peace, obtaining temporary positions and patronage from a number of aristocrats who are the subjects of his poems. He was ordained as an Anglican minister in 1615, and in 1621 was made Dean of St. Paul s Cathedral, a position he held until his death.If you enjoyed Donne s Selected Poems, you might enjoy John Milton s Paradise Lost, also available in Penguin Classics.
