Beschreibung

In "The Great Galeoto; Folly or Saintliness," translated by Hannah Lynch, the prolific Spanish playwright José Echegaray explores profound themes of human emotion, morality, and social convention through two interwoven plays. Echegaray's literary style blends melodrama with psychological depth, characteristic of the Spanish literary tradition of the late 19th century. His works often reflect the existential dilemmas of contemporary society, and this particular text showcases his ability to dissect complex characters navigating the tensions between folly and saintliness, ultimately leaving the audience in contemplation of their own moral responsibilities. José Echegaray, a Nobel Prize laureate, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time, which instilled in him a keen awareness of human suffering and moral conflict. His multifaceted career as a playwright, poet, and politician provided him with insights into the intricacies of human nature, fueling his desire to engage his audience with thought-provoking narratives. The alliance between his Spanish roots and Lynch's English prose brings forth a nuanced accessibility, allowing broader audiences to engage with Echegaray's work. This translation is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of Spanish theater, as well as for those invested in the exploration of moral ambiguity. Echegaray's adept characterization and Lynch's skilled translation invite readers to grapple with the fine line between folly and saintliness, rendering this work both a poignant and timeless reflection on the human condition.

    Written after two years of artistic silence, during which the world came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Minneapolis became the epicenter of protest following the murder of George Floyd, Bluff is Danez Smith's powerful reckoning with their role and responsibility as a poet and with their hometown of the Twin Cities. This is a book of awakening out of violence, guilt, shame, and critical pessimism to wonder and imagine how we can strive toward a new existence in a world that seems to be dissolving into desolate futures. 
     
     
     
    Smith brings a startling urgency to these poems, their questions demanding a new language and a deep self-scrutiny. A series of ars poetica gives way to "anti poetica" and "ars america" to implicate poetry's collusions with unchecked capitalism. A poem makes clear the consequences of America's acceptance of mass shootings. Another offers the history of Saint Paul's vibrant Rondo neighborhood before and after officials decided to run an interstate directly through it. 
     
     
     
    Bluff is a kind of manifesto about artistic resilience, even when time and will can seem fleeting, when the places we most love—those given and made—are burning. In this soaring collection, Smith turns to honesty, hope, rage, and imagination to envision futures that seem possible.

    For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
    Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
    For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
    The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
