Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Ana Ristovic's erotic, wry, feminist poems concern daily routines (washing laundry, doing crossword puzzles). In her writing she explores inner and outer worlds, sex, and relationships. This bilingual (Serbian and English) selection unveils a rich embroidery of frank sexuality and lyric ima…ges.Born in 1972 in Belgrade, Ristovic studied comparative literature at the philological faculty there. She has published six books of poetry and won the Hubert Burda Prize for young Eastern European poets in 2005. She also has translated eighteen books of poetry and prose from Slovenian into Serbian, and her own poems have been translated into almost a dozen languages.On the surface, Ristovic's poems read smoothly and almost easily as she wittily and winkingly banters about polishing her nails or doing laundry as she opens the door to her New Belgrade world on the Danube quay. Before one knows, one is seduced into a light-hearted conversation about daily chores and salad-making as "[o]utside, the blizzard howls, with ease and without a care, buries our mutual threshold."In 2014, the Guardian announced Southbank Centre's list of the fifty greatest love poems of the past fifty years. On that list, Ana Ristovic's "Circling Zero" appeared together with the likes of Margaret Atwood, Frank O'Hara, and Chinua Achebe, among many other luminous giants of literature.Steven Teref's and Maja Teref's translations of Ana Ristovic's poems have appeared in Asymptote, Conduit, and Rhino (winner of their 2012 Translation Prize). Their translation of her poem "Circling Zero" was published in the international poetry anthology The World Record (Bloodaxe Books). A rich embroidery of frank sexuality and lyric images from award-winning Serbian poet Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Song Lin's poems explore his sojourns in several countries, the natural world outside him, and his own inner landscape. His early imprisonment during the 1989 Tienanmen Square protests gave rise to the title poem, as well as a profound sense of yearning that pervades much of his work. He is… a wanderer in the world and in the language of poetry, often finding beauty in others that are also on the move: birds, rivers, the wind. While his work is rooted in both contemporary and classical Chinese poetry, he incorporates American, French, and Latin-American literary traditions into his poems. The yearnings of a traveler who has lived on three continents, charting in exquisite language what he sees outside, and within.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. These nine stories span half a century of contemporary writing in Korea (1970s2010s), bringing together some of the most famous twentieth-century women writers with a new generation of young, bold voices. Their work explores a world not often seen in the West, taking us into the homes, fami…lies, lives and psyches of Korean women, men, and children.In the earliest of the stories, Pak Wan-so, considered the elder stateswoman of contemporary Korean fiction, opens the door into two "Identical Apartments" where sisters-in-law, bound as much by competition as love, struggle to live with their noisy, extended families. O Chong-hui, who has been compared to Joyce Carol Oates and Alice Munro, examines a day in the life of a woman after she is released from a mental institution, while younger writers, such as Kim Sagwa, Han Yujoo and Ch'on Un-yong explore violence, biracial childhood, and literary experimentation. These stories will sometimes disturb and sometimes delight, as they illuminate complex issues in Korean life and literature.Internationally acclaimed translators Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton have won several awards and fellowships for the numerous works of Korean literature they have translated into English.Featuring these authors and stories:Pak Wan-so: "Identical Apartments" Kim Chi-won: "Almaden" So Yong-un: "Dear Distant Love" O Chong-hui: "Wayfarer" Kong Son-ok: "The Flowering of Our Lives" Kim Ae-ran: "The Future of Silence" Han Yujoo: "I Am the Scribe-Or Am I" Kim Sagwa: "Today Is One of Those The-More-You-Move-the-Stranger-It-Gets Days, and It's Simply Amazing" Ch'on Un-yong: "Ali Skips Rope" Stories by Korean women from the 1960s to 2000s illuminate the complex lives, psyches and struggles of women.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The South Korean poet and playwright explores loneliness, alienation, and flashes of togetherness, creating a world that his translator calls "overcast, yet playful."Yoo writes poems that invite readers to reflect upon daily sorrows, while also illuminating single moments full of strange an…d arresting images that suggest the passage of time-a hardened piece of bread, a train about to arrive, a crumpled piece of paper. This debut collection in English chronicles contemporary life in a minor key where loneliness and existential ghosts thread the pieces. But Yoo's title also points to his fascination with language, and how each day offers chances to understand new vocabularies and new meanings-of words, of living.

Miklav Komelj is one of Slovenia's leading intellectuals-a poet, artist, writer, art historian, and translator-who shares his wide-ranging interests and probing mind in this second collection to appear in English. A voracious reader, he peppers his work with allusions from literature, mytho…logy, and history, but his inspiration also comes from less likely places, like a literary tattoo on the wrist of a woman sitting near him on a bus. Here are love lyrics, political polemics, mystical verses, artistic and archival explorations, epigrammatic and philosophical poems, and long free verse experiments. With poems spanning thirty years of his career, Night Is More Abstract illuminates the breadth and richness of Komelj's vision and his country. The book is bilingual on facing pages.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Three celebrated poets illuminate the complexity of life in Haiti and its diaspora in the 21st century, particularly for women, in this exceptional and unprecedented trilingual collection. In velyne Trouillot's sensual poems about love and yearning, she asks repeatedly "in what language sho…uld I speak to you"? Marie-Celie Agnant addresses poverty, pain, death, but also the pleasures of passion. Maggy De Coster's concise and personal poems explore the world - its nature, light, wind - and, sometimes, political themes. Together, these poems navigate between an impulse to "capture gently these moments of light" (De Coster) and the very different insistence that we see how "pain sits at ground level / at times charging like a beast" (Agnant). The original poems in French and Haitian Kreyl appear facing the English translations by Danielle LeGros Georges. Agnant is the 2023 Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this bilingual collection (Turkish and English), Zafer Senocak returns to the language of his childhood even as he writes from Germany, his home since he was eleven. Readers will find explorations of migration, exile, memory, identity, and the fine line between reason and belief - themes… that have appeared throughout his career as a leading Turkish-German intellectual, but which gain new shades of meaning as he articulates them in his first language. Some poems reference mystical Islam - exploring both hidden and evident aspects of the world, the real and the dream-like - as well as Turkish poetic traditions. These poems movingly give voice to what his translator Kristin Dickinson calls "moments of cross-cultural contact and entanglement." The book will be a fascinating companion to his earlier collection, Door Languages, published by Zephyr Press in 2008, translated from German by Elizabeth Oehlkers Wright. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
