Sinopse

In 'The Faery Queen and Her Knights: Stories Retold from Edmund Spenser,' the timeless narratives of medieval chivalry and allegorical grandeur are revitalized through a modern lens. This anthology expands upon Spenser'Äôs original epic poem, 'The Faerie Queene,' by offering a renewed interpretation that brings together a medley of styles spanning from poetic elegance to narrative prose. This collection showcases the complexity of Spenser's universe, filled with fantastical quests, moral allegories, and vivid symbolism that continue to resonate across centuries. The assorted tales offer a gateway into the world of heroic knights and enchanting faeries, weaving a tapestry that captures the imagination while echoing themes of heroism, virtue, and the eternal battle between good and evil. Curated and retold by Alfred John Church, this anthology harmonizes divergent literary voices, with the contributors tracing the lineage of Spenserian thought through historical and contemporary lenses. Church'Äôs expertise as an interpreter of classical literature serves to bridge the Elizabethan spirit of Spenser with the emerging sensibilities of modern literature. By reimagining these classic tales, the collection aligns with cultural and literary movements that seek to adapt and preserve seminal works for future generations, offering new insights into Spenser'Äôs enduring influence. 'Her Knights' is a call to readers eager to explore the intersection of historical narrative and literary innovation. It provides an inviting yet scholarly gateway for those wishing to examine the profound dialogue between tradition and reinterpretation. Through the collective retelling of Spenser's tales, this anthology serves both as an educational resource and a captivating journey, offering readers a rare opportunity to experience a confluence of perspectives, inviting both connoisseurs and newcomers alike to savor the rich legacy of Spenser'Äôs imagination.

    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Collection Competition.
    Through visceral and vulnerable poetry, Ricky Ray meditates on the pain and gratitude that arise from a keenly felt awareness of our fleeting existence. Recognizing his humanity as a facet of natural processes, Ricky measures the ache of living in a disabled body against the joy of \'being lived\' by the places he inhabits. As we accompany him and his soul dog, Addie, through the scenic woodlands of New England, the concrete jungle of Manhattan, and the swamps of the Deep South, the lines between humans, animals and nature begin to blur and move in concert. Shifting between forms both physical and elemental, we read of an existence lived not 'upon / but as one' with the Earth, \'whose being we are throughout and beyond our brief sojourn as human\'. At the heart of this collection is the transformative experience of Ricky's life with an old brown dog, which teaches that soul isn't merely something we possess—it's an animacy deeply shared.
