Beschreibung

In "Sappho: A New Rendering," the ancient Greek poet Sappho's evocative themes of love, desire, and longing are reawakened through a contemporary lens. This exquisite collection, characterized by its lyrical precision and emotional depth, presents a fresh translation of Sappho's fragmented verses. The rendering maintains the essence of Sappho's voice while embracing modernity, allowing today's readers to grasp the universality of her experiences. The work situates Sappho within the greater context of Archaic Greek literature, showcasing her unique contribution to lyric poetry, which profoundly influenced subsequent generations of poets and philosophers. Sappho, often regarded as one of the earliest and most significant female poets, lived on the island of Lesbos around 600 BCE. Much of her life remains shrouded in mystery, but her poignant exploration of intimate relationships and female experience reflects a sensitivity likely shaped by her personal circumstances and the cultural milieu of her time. Her work has endured despite the fragmentation and loss it has suffered through history, underscoring her status as a pioneering voice in the literary canon. This volume is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of classical literature and the female perspective within it. "Sappho: A New Rendering" not only revitalizes Sappho's poignant explorations of love and identity but also invites contemporary readers to reflect on their own emotional landscapes, making it a worthy addition to any literary collection.

    First published in 1846, The Double: A Petersburg Poem marks one of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s earliest and most daring explorations of the human psyche. Often overshadowed by his later masterpieces, The Double is nevertheless a crucial work in Dostoevsky’s literary evolution — a precursor to the psychological complexity and existential themes that would define Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and Notes from Underground. 
    The novella tells the story of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a low-ranking civil servant whose already fragile identity begins to unravel when he encounters his exact double — a man who is identical in appearance but possesses all the social charm and confidence Golyadkin lacks. What follows is a haunting descent into paranoia, self-alienation, and mental disintegration, all set against the bureaucratic backdrop of 19th-century St. Petersburg.

    Come and join me as we rediscover one of the greatest myths to come out of the Emerald Isle: "Deirdre of the Sorrows," adapted for the stage by J.M. Synge. 
    Deirdre, a woman of immeasurable beauty, is betrothed/condemned to the King of Ulster, Conchubar. But in true mythological fashion, there is a prophecy which prevents this--a prophecy that tells of her falling in love with another man, of heroes being banished in her name, of multiple wars waged for her honor. Loyalty, familial ties, and unadulterated love will be strained and broken, with only one question remaining: Who will be left to admire the beauty and sorrow of life?

    Diane Seuss's signature voice—audacious in its honesty, virtuosic in its artistry, outsider in its attitude—has become one of the most original in contemporary poetry. Her latest collection takes its title, Modern Poetry, from the first textbook Seuss encountered as a child and the first poetry course she took in college, as an enrapt but ill-equipped student, one who felt poetry was beyond her reach. Many of the poems make use of the forms and terms of musical and poetic craft—ballad, fugue, aria, refrain, coda—and contend with the works of writers overrepresented in textbooks and anthologies and those too often underrepresented. Seuss provides a moving account of her picaresque years and their uncertainties, and in the process, she enters the realm between Modernism and Romanticism, between romance and objectivity, with Keats as ghost, lover, and interlocutor. 
     
     
     
    In poems of rangy curiosity, sharp humor, and illuminating self-scrutiny, Modern Poetry investigates our time's deep isolation and divisiveness and asks: What can poetry be now? Do poems still have the capacity to mean? "It seems wrong / to curl now within the confines / of a poem," Seuss writes. "You can't hide / from what you made / inside what you made." What she finds there, finally, is a surprising but unmistakable love.
