Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Modern Poetry in Translation issue "The Antidote to Agony: Focus on the Poetry of Greece and Cyprus", guest edited by Jessica Sequeira, features English translations of 30 selections of poems by contemporary poets expanding the linguistic boundaries of Modern Greek, Bulgarian and Arvanitika, reflecting on migrant crossings in the Mediterranean, female friendship, the transcription of orality, imagined plagues, the encounters of bodies, the AIDS pandemic, and artistic ruin, among other themes. Greek poetry, as perhaps all poetry, opens the heart to the beyond, to the liminal condition. The truth is that the idea of a national focus will forever be complicated given that migrants also form part of the tradition of a region, both those entering and those leaving (which is why a poem into Greek is also included, by a Cypriot poet residing in Ireland).The authors translated in the Focus are Angelos Sikelianos, Anna Griva, Argyris Chionis, Argyris Stavropoulos, Christodoulos Makris, Danae Siozou, Dimitra Kotoula, Efstathia P., Eftychia Panayiotou, Eleni Kefala, Ersi Sotiropoulos, George Le Nonce, Iana Boukova, Iliassa Sequin, Ioannis Tsirkas, Jazra Khaleed, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke, Katerina Iliopoulou, Konstantinos Loukopoulos, Krystalli Glyniadakis, Myrsini Ghana, Niki Chalkiadaki, Nikolas Koutsodontis, Panayotis Ioannidis, Peter Constantine, Phoebe Giannisi, Stamatis Polenakis, Suleyman Alayali-Tsialik, Thanos Gogos, Vassilis Kimoulis. Two introductory essays by Brian Sneeden and Kostya Tsolakis provide context.In addition there are three non-Focus poem selections by Christine Bry from French, Manikkavacagar from Classical Tamil, and Roxana Crisólogo Correa from Peruvian Spanish.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Why do people choose to play with ideas considered antiquated? Why do they elect to act in non-productive ways? Perhaps the question can be asked in reverse: What comes to mind when we think of technology? That which is practical, efficient, invisible, fast, optimistic, constantly updated. So how can one explain the search for the opposite, that which is useless, inefficient, physically present, slow, dystopian, obsolete and governed by chance? The matter of what motivates the search for `antiquated' forms strikes deep into the heart of value. Are people simply following trends? Are they idiots? Are they sentimental? Are they artists? Are they interested in kitsch? Are they uninformed? Are they poets? Other Paradises is a collection of essays exploring imaginative responses to science and technology, and is about people who choose to build `other paradises', fully conscious of the alternative they offer to the dominant paradigm of technological progress. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The work of the philosopher-poet Rocio Agreda Pierola is full of ghostly traces, smudged lines from the past turned with care into new forms through references to writers like Hector Viel Temperley and Dante, rewritings of Biblical verses, redraftings of personal memory, and forays into history with the Spanish conquistadors. In Horses Drawn with Blue Chalk, Agreda Pierolas sensuous language is populated by animals (hyenas, wolves, birds, cats, shoals of fish), parts of the body (the tongue, the nervous system), and the physical stuff of childhood (those horses drawn with blue chalk, erased from the wall yet forever archived in memory, to be drawn and redrawn). The questions here of how to create meaning from solitude and silence do not rely on any facile premade identities or autobiographical intimacies, but seek constantly to unsettle the known, challenging given truths to forge a meaningful communication.This is #16 in UDP's Senal series for contemporary Latin American poetry.
