Sinossi

A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems is a groundbreaking anthology that introduces Western readers to the rich tapestry of Chinese poetry, showcasing works that span dynasties and genres. The poems, translated with both rigor and poetic sensitivity, reflect the thematic depth and aesthetic complexity of traditional Chinese literature, engaging with themes of nature, philosophy, love, and the passage of time. The literary style embodies a harmony between form and meaning, capturing the lyrical beauty and emotional resonance of the originals while making them accessible to a diverse audience. This collection exemplifies the broader literary context of cross-cultural exchange and the increasing appreciation of Eastern literary traditions in the West during its time of publication. The enigmatic nature of the author, who remains anonymous, allows the collection to stand apart as a universal commentary on human experience, untouched by individual bias or personality. The choice to remain unnamed may have stemmed from a desire to emphasize the collective voice of Chinese poets through the ages, rather than focusing on a singular perspective. This book can be seen as a reflection of the author's own cultural curiosity and a commitment to fostering intercultural understanding. I highly recommend A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems to anyone interested in poetic form and cultural exploration. Whether you are a seasoned poetry lover or a newcomer, this anthology offers profound insights into the human condition through the lens of Chinese thought and tradition. It invites readers to savor the beauty of language and the power of emotion across cultural boundaries.

In their breathtaking international debut, Aaiún Nin plumbs the depths of the lived and enduring effects of colonialism in their native country, Angola. In these pages, Nin untangles complexities of exile, the reckoning of familial love, but also reveals the power of queer love and desire through the body that yearns to love and be loved. Nin shows the ways in which faith and devotion serve as forms of oppression and interrogates the nature of home by reclaiming the persistent echoes of trauma. A captivating blend of evocative prose and intimate testimony, Nin speaks to the universal vulnerability of existence.

The Book of Hours - a new poetic...

Rainer Maria Rilke, Brett Alan...

Written at the turn of the twentieth century, The Book of Hours is one of the most significant works of modern German poetry. There has never been an English translation that preserved the tight poeticism and Christian mysticism of the original until now. In this long poem, the narrator-poet is a monk and icon painter desperately trying to see God in a way that his art can’t capture. Over three sections (The Book of Monkish Life, The Book of Pilgrimage, and The Book of Poverty & Death), Rilke takes the narrator on a journey from the pastoral lands of his monastery to the bustling and inhuman cities of the world on a quest to make sense of God's central mystery. A variety of images recur: building, trees (roots and fruits), ripening, ore, and what Rilke simply calls "the things". Through these motifs, the narrator seeks to understand God by exploring imagery that is the inverse of the usual Biblical symbols. What can we learn by thinking of God as darkness, as son, as poor neighbor, or as the rock that runs through the earth...? And, ultimately, what truly are poverty and death to the holy pilgrim?
