Poetry, etcetera: Cleaning House

Jacques Roubaud

What is poetry today, and how does it fit into our lives? Through a series of intelligent, personal, and often humorous essays, the great French poet and fiction writer Jacques Roubaud explores the role of poetry in society and what poetry means to each of us. This is simultaneously a profound and highly readable work on language and meaning.

North of Hell

Miguel Correa Mujica

In his introduction to this novel, noted Cuban novelist Reinaldo Arenas suggests that there are two kinds of good literature--the second of which, exemplified by NORTH OF HELL, is an "unstoppable fury of the condemned"--satiric literature at its best. Born in Cuba in 1957, Miguel Correa Mujica has lived in New York since 1980, where he is an Associate Professor at the City University of New York.

luce a cavallo

Therese Bachand

Exploring films produced by studios throughout the 1960s, Therese Bachand creates a lyrical and dynamic collection of short poetry, her first published collection. This book was chosen as a Gertrude Stein Award selection by Luigi Ballerini.

Acropolis and Tram: Poems 1938-1978

Nikos Engonopoulos

An ambidextrous painter-poet and early convert to surrealism, Engonopoulos joined forces with Andreas Embirikos and Odysseus Elytis in the late 1930s to change the course of Greek poetry forever. Acropolis and Tram, Engonopoulos's first collection in English, spans his career from the early experiments in surrealist disassociation to the late elegies for a lost world. It also includes the long poem "Bolivar," his covert ode to the Greek resistance first published in 1945.
