        Selected Poetry

        by Vasyl Stus

        Vasyl Stus was not only a poet of rare talent, publicist, translator and literary critic, but he is also a personification of "the voice of conscience in the world of shaky and blurred concepts of honour, truth, decency." He spent nearly half of his life in Soviet detention centres, solitary confinement cells, Mordovian and Kolyma camps and toiling at mines. The Soviet penal system deprived him of family visits, seized his poems, letters and manuscripts, physically abused him and tried to destroy him morally but it never managed to break his spirit.The poems in this collection are the best examples of Vasyl Stus's lyrics. In these lines, civic motives and the artist's pain for the fate of Ukraine are intertwined with a delicate lace of love lyrics and philosophical reflections on life and the purpose of man. Poems are full of hope and unyielding resolve.

        Winterpoem 20/21

        Leipziger Buchpreis zur Europäischen Verständigung 2023

        by Maria Stepanova, Olga Radetzkaja

        Der Ausbruch der Covid-Pandemie setzte im März 2020 einem Aufenthalt Maria Stepanovas im britischen Cambridge ein Ende. Zurück in Russland, verbrachte sie die folgenden Monate in einem Zustand der Erstarrung – die Welt hatte sich vor ihr zurückgezogen, die Zeit war »ertaubt«. Als sie aus diesem Zustand auftauchte, begann sie Ovid zu lesen. Motive fanden zueinander, die lange in ihr gewartet hatten. Wie schon in Der Körper kehrt wieder verwandelt sie historische und aktuelle Kataklysmen in ein ungemein feingliedriges, bewegliches Gebilde aus Rhythmen und Stimmen. Das Poem, das in einer rauschhaften poetischen Inspiration entstand, spricht vom Winter und vom Krieg, von Verbannung und Exil, von sozialer Isolation und existentieller Verlassenheit. Stepanova findet grandiose Bilder für das Verstummen: wenn etwa Worte, die wir einander zurufen, in der Luft gefrieren und unser Gegenüber nicht mehr erreichen. Das Werk verwebt Liebesbriefe und Reiseberichte, chinesische Verse und dänische Märchen in eine vielstimmige Beschwörung der gefrorenen und langsam auftauenden Zeit.

        Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry

        by Tom Docherty

        The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?

        The Doors of the Poem

        Tribute to Habib Tengour

        by Sagawe Regina Keil, Hervé Sanson

        The twenty-seven contributions gathered here and superbly illustrated by Hamid Tibouchi - critical studies and creative texts - pay tribute to a work that is at the forefront of Algerian and, more broadly, contemporary letters, but paradoxically still little-known. On the occasion of Habib Tengour's seventy-fifth birthday, this volume is intended to open up new avenues of research into this work, and provide a more accurate understanding of the issues at stake. Tributes from his peers - poets from all over the world - give the book an affective, carnal dimension, extending the researchers' analyses with unexpected echoes. “Tengour warns us: “Only those with the right intention enter the poem! LES PORTES DU POEME thus opens on one of the most important poetic voices of his generation (Prix Dante in 2016, Prix Benjamin Fondane in 2022, Prix Dante Alighieri in 2023, for his body of work).

        Early modern women's manuscript poetry

        by Jill Millman, Gillian Wright

        'Early modern women's manuscript poetry' is an anthology of texts by fourteen women poets writing between 1589 and 1706. It is the only currently available anthology of early modern women's writing which focuses exclusively on manuscript material. Authors include Mary Sidney, Lucy Hutchinson and Katherine Philips; central figures in the emerging canon of early modern women writers, but whose work appears in a fresh and very different light in the manuscript context emphasised by this anthology. The volume also includes substantial excerpts from a recently discovered verse paraphrase of Genesis, thought to be by the previously unknown seventeenth-century writer Mary Roper, as well as selections from the unjustly neglected poet, Hester Pulter. The mix of canonical and non-canonical writers makes this book ideal for use on undergraduate and early postgraduate courses, while specialists will be particularly interested in the sophisticated and varied material taken from less familiar sources. ;

        Lexicon of Intimate Cities

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        "Lexicon of Intimate Cities" is the biggest novel of Yuriy Andruhovych so far. A tireless traveler across Ukraine, Europe, and America, the author tells us 111 stories about 111 cities with which he was lucky enough to experience happy and not so happy, but always intimate, in the broadest sense of the word, moments.Arranged in the alphabetical order according to the geographical names of the locations, these diverse texts – from essays and short stories to prose poems together form an autobiographical atlas of the writer's world. In addition, each "lexical" adventure is clearly inscribed in time space coordinates, which allows the reader to follow the author in 111 private-historical leaps from the mid-60s of the last century to the present day.It is hardly worth expecting objective characteristics of Kyiv and Lviv, Moscow and Warsaw, New York and Yenakiyiv from this atlas, this extremely subjective "manual of geopoetics and cosmopolitics". But you can definitely find more artistically important things in it: the atmosphere, mood, images, smells and tastes of favorite cities and places, as they were imprinted in the author's memory. As well as momentary observations and deeper reflections, lyricism and sadness, irony and sarcasm - that is, everything that makes our communication with the world to resemble true intimacy.

        Verse auf Leben und Tod

        Roman

        by Amos Oz, Mirjam Pressler

        Tel Aviv, ein stickiger Sommerabend: Ein bekannter Schriftsteller ist zu einer Lesung eingeladen. Was werden seine Leser, was wird sein Publikum ihn fragen? Das Übliche? Warum schreiben Sie? Sind Ihre Bücher autobiographisch? Was wollten Sie uns mit Ihrem letzten Roman sagen? Was wird er antworten? Das Übliche? Oder wird er sich den Erwartungen widersetzen? Amos Oz erzählt in seinem neuen Roman von einem bekannten Schriftsteller an einem stickigen Sommerabend in Tel Aviv, von der Liebesnacht danach, von den Menschen, die ihm begegnen, bis die Geschichten, die sie alle haben oder haben könnten, sich entfalten und miteinander verknüpfen, bis das, was sich ereignet, und das, was sich hätte ereignen können, ununterscheidbar werden. Verse auf Leben und Tod ist die unkonventionelle Antwort des großen Erzählers Amos Oz auf die Frage nach dem subversiven Wechselspiel von Leben und Literatur.
