Beschreibung

In "The Poems of Sappho: An Interpretative Rendition into English," this collection presents a masterful reinterpretation of Sappho's ancient verses, encapsulating the intensity of her passion, the subtleties of her imagery, and the intricacies of her emotional landscapes. The book employs a lyrical and evocative English style that attempts to remain faithful to the original Greek's musicality and brevity, while contextualizing Sappho's life on the island of Lesbos during the 7th century BCE. This work invites readers into the vibrant world of one of the earliest and most celebrated poets in Western literature, allowing a deeper appreciation of her innovations in lyric poetry, including themes of love, beauty, and longing that resonate through the ages. Sappho, a prominent figure in the canon of ancient Greek literature, is renowned for her exploration of personal and emotional themes that challenge societal norms. Her life, marked by complexity and artistry, reflects her deep engagement with the human experience, particularly in the realm of female relationships. It is this rich cultural backdrop, alongside her pioneering role as a female poet, that informs the interpretative choices made in this rendition, illuminating her enduring influence in poetry. This interpretative rendition is essential for readers seeking to understand the nuances of Sappho's work within both historical and contemporary contexts. It is an invitation to connect with the timeless themes of love and loss in a fresh light, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection. Those passionate about poetry, feminism, and classical literature will find this work invigorating, offering profound insights and an accessible pathway to Sappho's brilliant, yet fragmented, legacy.

    Sonny Sunshine the new Album by the Beat Poet Experience is formed around the poetry and dynamism of performance artist David O'Kelly. Paying more than a passing nod to the Beat Poets of the 60's it embraces warmly all that we love and hate about ourselves with a wry twist of phrase and some of the hottest jazz licks this side of New Orleans ...Reflecting the major works of Beat writing ALA Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957), the Beat Poet Experience joins these members of the Beat Generation as one of the new bohemian hedonists celebrating nonconformity and spontaneous creativity. 
    The album Sonny Sunshine includes songs, lyrics and poems that have been written and performed over the last two decades in New York, Prague and London. It is Beat Poetry with an English twist and an eye to the odd crazy frailty of human nature with incredible performances from some of the best players currently on London's vibrant jazz scene. Written with a wry turn of Phrase and a sharp observational eye these are poems about life, death and magic.

    Metamorphoses

    Publius Ovidius Naso

    Ovid's Metamorphoses is an epic poem written in Latin, composed of fifteen books, which explores the theme of transformation and change. The narrative follows a chronological order, beginning with the world's creation and ending with the reign of Julius Caesar. Ovid retells traditional Greek and Roman myths, focusing on the transformations of gods, heroes, and mortals as they undergo physical, emotional, and psychological changes that reflect the complexities of the human experience. Some of the most famous stories in the Metamorphoses include the tales of Apollo and Daphne, Pyramus and Thisbe, Narcissus and Echo, and the fall of Icarus.
    While modern scholars consider this epic poem to be Ovid's magnum opus, the work was not well received by its contemporaries; the Roman emperor Augustus went so far as to exile Ovid and ban his books from Rome's libraries. Today, this work is considered one of the most influential works in Western culture and has inspired countless authors like Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Dante.

There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.
