Letters Home gives access to the last major archive of Larkins writing to remain unpublished: the letters to members of his family. These correspondences help tell the story of how Larkin came to be the writer and the man he was: to his father Sydney, a conservative anarchist and admirer of Hitler, who died relatively early in Larkins life; to his timid depressive mother Eva, who by contrast, lived long, and whose final years were shadowed by dementia; and to his sister Kitty, the sparse surviving fragment of whose correspondence with her brother gives an enigmatic glimpse of a complex and intimate relationship- But it was the years during which he and his sister looked after their mother in particular that shaped the writer we know so well: a number of poems written over this time are for her, and the mood of pain, shadow and despondency that characterises his later verse draws its strength from his experience of the long, lonely years of her senility. One surprising element in the volume, however, is the joie de vivre shown in the large number of witty and engaging drawings of himself and Eva, as Young Creature and Old Creature, with which he enlivens his letters throughout the three decades of her widowhood.This important edition, meticulously edited by Larkins biographer, James Booth, is a key piece of scholarship that completes the portrait of this most cherished of English poets.

Stephen Spender, along with his friends W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice and C. Day Lewis, rose to prominence in the 1930s, writing powerfully of the fear and paranoia of a continent heading towards war. By the time of his death in 1995 he had established a distinguished reputation as a poet, critic, editor and translator. This New Collected Poems, edited by Michael Brett, gathers seven decades of verse from Poems (1933) to Dolphins (1994) and the late uncollected work. Reordering the thematic principle of the 1985 Collected Poems, this edition returns to a book-by-book chronology and allows the reader to experience, for the first time, the full development and range of his career.

This entirely new edition brings together all of Philip Larkins poems. In addition to those in Collected Poems (1988), and in the Early Poems and Juvenilia (2005), some unpublished pieces from Larkins typescripts and workbooks are included, as well as verse (by turns scurrilous, satirical, affectionate, and sentimental) tucked away in his letters. The manuscript and printed sources have been scrutinized afresh; more detailed accounts than hitherto available of the sources of the text and of dates of composition are provided; and previous accounts of composition dates have been corrected. Variant wordings from Larkins typescripts and the early printings are recorded.For the first time, the poems are given a comprehensive commentary. This draws critically upon, and substantially extends, the accumulated scholarship on Larkin, and covers closely relevant historical contexts, persons and places, allusions and echoes, and linguistic usage. Due prominence is given to the poets comments on his poems, which often outline the circumstances that gave rise to a poem, or state what he was trying to achieve. Larkin played down his literariness, but his poetry enrichingly alludes to and echoes the writings of many others; Archie Burnetts commentary establishes him as a more complex and more literary poet than many readers have suspected.

Nabati poetry is the traditional poetry of the Arab tribes of Arabia and neighbouring areas. Though composed in an artistic variant of ordinary Bedouin speech, historically it is the descendant of the pre-Islamic Classical Arabic poetry of antiquity, and its modern exponents still compose in the traditional genres of boasting, praise, satire, elegy, advice and guidance, love and lyric poetry. Nowadays, there is also a thriving tradition of poetic comment on contemporary social and political issues. This book gives an account of the tradition as practiced in the United Arab Emirates, exemplified by English verse translations of fifty-three poems by twenty-five different poets covering the last half century. The original Arabic poems are also included, with brief notes on their language, rhyme, and scansion. Thee book is accompanied by a CD containing recordings of twenty-two of the poems in the original Arabic.

Oton de Granson, slain in a duel in 1397, was a knight, diplomat, and poet, who lived an active, almost storybook life at or near the center of many of the most important events in the last half of the fourteenth century. He was almost certainly a personal friend to both Chaucer and Eustache Deschamps and among the first and most successful of the poets who were also courtiers. This new translation makes Gransons poetry available again to English readers.

Edición de María Teresa Ruestes con la colaboración de Antonio Ramajo y José Solís de los Santos.Fernando de Herrera publicó relativamente poco y es recordado sobre todo por su propia colección poética, Algunas obras (1582), dechado de precision clasicista y exquisitez lirica. Admiradores y amigos de Herrera, encabezados por el pintor Francisco Pacheco, publicaron en 1619 un grueso volumen de Versos del sevillano, muchos de ellos ineditos.La presente edicion para la BCRAE sigue el volumen impreso en 1582, del que se han cotejado todos los ejemplares conocidos, incluido uno que contiene correcciones manuscritas del propio autor. Se estudian asimismo las diferencias entre esa edicion y la postuma (1619), para otorgarle a esta ultima mayor relevancia autorial de la que se le habia reconocido; se han tenido en cuenta tambien los manuscritos conservados, en especial uno de 1578 con abundantes poesias no recogidas en los impresos, y el conjunto se completa con cuatro poemas latinos de juventud.El resultado es una edicion cuidada al detalle que se erige en interpretacion integral de una de las cimas indiscutibles de la poesia amatoria, elegiaca y heroica del Siglo de Oro.

Edición de María Jesús Mancho.El presente volumen de la Biblioteca Clásica RAE ofrece la breve pero extraordinaria obra poética de San Juan de la Cruz, encabezada por el Cántico espiritual, cima absoluta de la poesia mistica y amatoria en lengua española, acompañado de la declaracion o comentario que el propio autor escribio para esclarecer la dimension y el sentido de sus versos.La edicion de Maria Jesus Mancho tiene en cuenta, para la fijacion del texto, la compleja tradicion manuscrita de las obras del santo, concebidas para una difusion restringida, y concede especial atencion al codice de Sanlucar de Barrameda, autentificado y revisado por San Juan.Los poemas van acompañados de un estudio de conjunto que hace visibles las distintas dimensiones (linguistica, clasica, biblica, tradicional, erotica, moral, mistica) que encierran estas portentosas composiciones, y reune y analiza el caudal erudito de reflexion y discusion que han provocado.

The Poems of T. S. Eliot is the authoritative edition of one of our greatest poets, scrupulously edited by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue. It provides, for the first time, a fully scrutinized text of Eliots poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliots youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time. To accompany Eliots poems, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the creative activity that came to constitute each poem, calling upon drafts, correspondence and other original materials to provide a vivid account of the poets working processes, his reading, his influences and his revisions. The first volume respects Eliots decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication. The second volume opens with the two books of poems of other kinds that he issued, Old Possums Book of Practical Cats and his translation of Perses Anabase, moving then to verses privately circulated as informal or improper or clubmanlike. Each of these sections is accompanied by its respective commentary, and then, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history recording variants both manuscript and published. The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets

In late 2013, preeminent Hebrew poet Tuvia Ruebner published his fifteenth poetry collection, which he titled Last Ones. But it was not his last; he continued writing and publishing, even into the summer of his death in 2019. The translated poems in Now at the Threshold: The Late Poems of Tuvia Ruebner are from Ruebners final three collections, poems all written from 2014 onward, after the poets 90th birthday. Translated into English by award-winning translator Rachel Tzvia Back, these late and last poems both celebrate lifes enduring small graces and converse quietly-even negotiate- with death. With love and loss ever intertwined, and a protesting voice still fierce, this collection offers the reader illuminating and beautiful poetry from a great humanist and a great poet. The Interim World: The Poetics of Tuvia Ruebner From Love to Loss and Back Again: The Tragic Story of Israeli Poet Tuvia Ruebner

On the Surface of Silence offers for the first time in English the final poems of Lea Goldberg, pre-eminent and central poet of modern Hebrew poetry. These extraordinary texts, composed in the last years and even last days of the poets life and published posthumously after her untimely death, exhibit a level of lyrical distillation and formal boldness that mark them as distinctive in the poets oeuvre. Often employing a fragment-like structure, where the unspoken is as present and forceful as the spoken, stripped of adornments and engaging the reader with an uncompromising, even disarming, directness, Goldbergs last poems enact and manifest a poetics of intrepid truth-telling. The play between revelation and concealment, the language precision and the unflinching end-of-life gaze transform these texts into powerfully moving, and often surprising, poems. The book itself, in the original format as masterfully edited by Tuvia Ruebner and with drawings by Goldberg herself interspersed among the poems, is a significant and beautiful artifact of modern Hebrew culture. This bilingual edition, with translations by award-winning translator Rachel Tzvia Back, brings us poems from a singular poetic voice of the 20th century - poems which will enrich, reflect, and stir the readers heart.

Loss defines the crossbeams and chronicles of Tuvia Ruebners life. Born in 1924 into a semi-secular Jewish family in Slovakia, Ruebner was also born into the catastrophe that would follow-the extermination of European Jewry and of his own family in the Holocaust. Hitler became chancellor of Germany on Ruebners ninth birthday. Six years later, the race-laws enacted in Slovakia banned all Jewish students from school, and Ruebners formal education ended with ninth grade. His involvement in the Socialist-Zionist youth movement bought him a ticket out to Palestine and, in 1941, the seventeen-year-old bid his family farewell at the Pressburg Bratislava train station, unaware that he would never see them again. The disasters of the twentieth century swept Ruebner from Europe to Israel, from German to Hebrew, from the familiar to the strange. Despite his truncated formal education, he became a poet and man of letters in Israels fledgling intellectual community alongside other Jewish immigrant-refugee-survivors like Ludwig Strauss, Werner Kraft, Lea Goldberg, and Dan Pagis, eventually gaining international esteem as professor of comparative literatures at Haifa University and as translator of Nobel prize winner S.Y.Agnons stories into German. Ruebners early work in Israel took shape in German, the language he spoke to his lost beloveds and the language of Kafka, Hoelderlin, and Rilke, whose work he loved, a language that protected him from the overwhelming strangeness of his new land and life. He began composing poetry in Hebrew in the 1950s, beginning a life-long relationship with the newly-revived ancient tongue. The result: fifteen poetry collections in Hebrew, from The Fire in the Stone in 1957 to Last Ones in 2013, a poetic oeuvre that has received countless awards and accolades in Israel and Europe alike and has established Ruebner as an elder of the tribe. Ruebners poetry offers us an exquisite and indispensable voice of the twentieth century. His little sister, murdered in Auschwitz, and his youngest son, who disappeared in South America, wander unceasingly through his poems. Beyond the personal losses, the devastation of the century informs all of his work. Textual rupture and fragmentation echo historical rupture and fragmentation. The wonder of Tuvia Ruebner is that, after a lifetime of loss and tragedies, he remains open to the possibility of happiness. This openheartedness accommodates the many paradoxes and conflicts of life and infuses his poetry with an enduring and encompassing compassion for the lost and for the living alike. Rachel Tzvia Backs graceful translations of select poems representative of Ruebners seven-decade poetic trajectory are ever-faithful and beautifully attuned to the Hebrew originals, even as they work to create a new music in their English incarnations. Her comprehensive introduction and annotations supply the context in which these poems were produced. This first-ever bilingual edition, published as Ruebner marks his 90th birthday, gives readers in both Hebrew and English access to stunning poetry that insists on shared humanity across all border lines and divides.

Esta es la primera edición filológica de Temblor de Lima, año de 1609, gobernando el Marqués de Montes Claros, virrey excelentísimo, y una canción real panegírica en la venida de su excelencia a estos reinos (Lima, 1609) obra que, junto a la Cancion real (1612) tambien editada aqui, constituye la produccion poetica de Pedro de Oña (Angol, Chile, 1570-Lima, ¿1643?) dirigida a Juan de Mendoza y Luna, virrey del Peru (1607-1615). Este corpus es una magnifica muestra de las expectativas criollas respecto del alter ego del monarca en Indias y de los medios retoricos y poeticos que la elite criolla empleo para reivindicarse a traves del panegirico de la maxima autoridad virreinal. Por otro lado, el estudio pormenorizado de esta obra panegirica de Oña evidencia la complejidad de los procedimientos retoricos empleados por el encomio, lo que significa devolver a la poesia encomiastica el importante rol que tuvo en la epoca.

This book is a landmark. [and] lets us see Heaneys work, whose ripples we are still learning to navigate, for the colossal achievement it is, and it reminds us that Heaney is not only a keeper but an enricher of the word-hoard. Philip Terry, GuardianThis is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaneys poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poets family.It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the lyrical beauty and ethical depth cited by the Nobel committee: poems which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of Heaneys work.Heaneys voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself. Helen VendlerMore than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of. John CareyHis is "closeup" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does. John BanvilleThese poems find - in the dowsers gift and the childs perception of the world - images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety. Jamie McKendrickFor Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places - a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain - were sanctified. Blake Morrison
