Some favorites: Keaton, Close close all night, A Short Slow Life, A Drunkard ( ) Clearly a labor of love for Alice Quinn. I found her copious endnotes far more pleasurable than the fragments and abandoned poems. Remind me to destroy my fragments folder before I die.My favorite quotes:"Translating poetry is like trying to put your feet into gloves.""...the situation of the poet: the difficulty of combining the real with the decidedly un-real; the natural with the unnatural; the curious effect a poem produces of being as normal as sight, and yet as synthetic, as artificial, as a glass eye." I love this book. It is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to read. I find Bishop's poetry to be so personal and intimate and yet it feels as it could all be about... me! I just wish she had written more in her lifetime, that is all. Also, it is impossible not to notice the care and dedication that went into editing this material; Alice Quinn did a fantastic job. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From the mid-1930s to 1978 Elizabeth Bishop published some eighty poems and thirty translations. Yet her notebooks reveal that she embarked upon many more compositions, some existing in only fragmentary form and some embodied in extensive drafts.Edgar Allen Poe & The Juke-Box presents, alongside facsimiles of many notebook pages from which they are drawn, poems Bishop began soon after college, reflecting her passion for Elizabethan verse and surrealist technique; love poems and dream fragments from the 1940s; poems about her Canadian childhood; and many other works that heretofore have been quoted almost exclusively in biographical and critical studies. This revelatory and moving selection brings us into the poet's laboratory, showing us the initial provocative images that moved her to begin a poem, illustrating terrain unexplored in the work published during her lifetime. Editor Alice Quinn has also mined the Bishop archives for rich tangential material that illuminates the poet's sources and intentions. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
