Collected Poems 1947-1997 de Allen Ginsberg

Collected Poems 1947-1997

Autor Allen Ginsberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2009

Nivel de studiu: licență, master, referință academică și profesională. Observăm în acest volum de peste 1200 de pagini singura resursă completă care documentează parcursul literar al lui Allen Ginsberg pe parcursul a jumătate de secol. Structura cronologică ne permite să urmărim transformarea autorului de la figura centrală a generației Beat la poetul elegiac al anilor '90. Suntem de părere că această ediție Reprint este esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care spontaneitatea și onestitatea brută au redefinit poezia americană contemporană. Descoperim aici nu doar textele fundamentale, ci și un aparat critic bogat, format din note de subsol și prefețe care ancorează versurile în biografia tumultuoasă a autorului. Această colecție extinde cadrul propus de Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems cu date noi din ultimele decade de creație, oferind acces la poeme precum „Death and Fame” sau „Things I’ll Not Do (Nostalgia)”, care lipsesc din antologiile restrânse. În contextul operei sale, dacă The Best Minds of My Generation oferea o istorie orală a mișcării Beat, acest volum de poezii colectate reprezintă dovada artistică a acelei istorii. Spre deosebire de The Essential Ginsberg, care propune un portret multimedia prin scrisori și muzică, Collected Poems 1947-1997 se concentrează strict pe rigoarea textului poetic, fiind un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru cercetători. Ritmul lecturii variază de la cadența profetică a anilor '50 la tonul caustic și politic al scrierilor din „New Democracy Wish List”, totul fiind susținut vizual de ilustrațiile artiștilor din cercul său de apropiați.

Despre autor

Irwin Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997) a fost un poet american monumental, figură de proră a generației Beat. Student la Columbia University, i-a cunoscut pe Jack Kerouac și William S. Burroughs, alături de care a contestat militarismul și materialismul economic. Este celebru pentru poemul „Howl”, care a declanșat un proces istoric pentru obscenitate în 1957, terminat cu victoria libertății de exprimare. Budist convins și discipol al lui Chögyam Trungpa, Ginsberg a integrat practicile orientale în poetica sa. A fost membru al Academiei Americane de Arte și Litere, munca sa fiind recunoscută prin National Book Award, influențând decisiv cursul literaturii secolului XX.

Notă biografică

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was an American poet, best known for the poem Howl (1956). He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was awarded the medal of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, won the National Book Award for The Fall of America, and was a co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute, the first accredited Buddhist college in the Western world.

Descriere scurtă

This is the only volume to bring together all of Allen Ginsberg's published verse in its entirety, celebrating half a century of brilliant work from one of America's greatest poets. Presented chronologically, it sets Ginsberg's verse against the story of his extraordinary life: from his most famous landmark works 'Howl' and 'Kaddish' to the poems of White Shroud and Cosmopolitan Greetings, and on to his later writings such as the caustically funny 'Death and Fame', the provocative 'New Democracy Wish List' and the elegiac 'Things I'll Not Do (Nostalgia)'.

Ginsberg, as chief figure among the Beats, fomented a social and political revolution, yet his groundbreaking verse also changed the course of American poetry with its freewheeling spontaneity, rawness, honesty and energy. Also containing illustrations by Ginsberg's artist friends, illuminating notes to the poems, original prefaces and photographs, this is the essential record of one of the most influential voices in twentieth century poetry.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Here, for the first time, is a volume that gathers the published verse of Allen Ginsberg in its entirety, a half century of brilliant work from one of America's great poets. The chief figure among the Beats, Ginsberg changed the course of American poetry, liberating it from closed academic forms with the creation of open, vocal, spontaneous, and energetic postmodern verse in the tradition of Walt Whitman, Guillaume Apollinaire, Hart Crane, Ezra Pound, and William Carlos Williams. Ginsberg's classics Howl, Reality Sandwiches, Kaddish, Planet News, and The Fall of America led American (and international) poetry toward uncensored vernacular, explicit candor, the ecstatic, the rhapsodic, and the sincere—all leavened by an attractive and pervasive streak of common sense. Ginsberg's raw tones and attitudes of spiritual liberation also helped catalyze a psychological revolution that has become a permanent part of our cultural heritage, profoundly influencing not only poetry and popular song and speech, but also our view of the world.
The uninterrupted energy of Ginsberg's remarkable career is clearly revealed in this collection. Seen in order of composition, the poems reflect on one another; they are not only works but also a work. Included here are all the poems from the earlier volume Collected Poems 1947-1980, and from Ginsberg's subsequent and final three books of new poetry: White Shroud, Cosmopolitan Greetings, and Death & Fame. Enriching this book are illustrations by Ginsberg's artist friends; unusual and illuminating notes to the poems, inimitably prepared by the poet himself; extensive indexes; as well as prefaces and various other materials that accompanied the original publications.

Recenzii

“A hefty, brilliant volume that shows Ginsberg (1926-97) to be not only a legendary protest writer but also a lyric poet preoccupied with passion, place and fate.” — New York Times
“If you want to read Ginsberg’s poetry, you should go straight to the source. COLLECTED POEMS 1947-1997 gathers everything, from the early work of “Empty Mirror” to the last pieces he completed before his death…One is continually blown away by Ginsberg’s poetic structures.” — Los Angeles Times
“Taken all together, Ginsberg’s poems are X-rays of a considerable part of American society during the last four decades.” — The New Yorker
“The mammoth new COLLECTED POEMS, 1947-1997 places Ginsberg firmly among the most prolific poets of the age.” — Washington Post Book World
“as the new volume shows [Ginsberg] was a lyric poet of the old school preoccupied with passion, place and fate, whose consciousness, under pressure from the Bomb, released weird new isotopes into the atmosphere.” — New York Times Book Review
“At 1,200 pages, the current volume testifies to the poet’s scope and indefatigable energy; there’s a lot to like…The best of his verse in COLLECTED POEMS 1947-1997 accumulates with a relentless, visionary eye, his characteristic mix of activism and mysticism enduring in his aging body, still howling.” — Chicago Sun-Times
“Sooner or later, anyone interested in American poetry must embrace Allen Ginsberg.” — Houston Chronicle
“The COLLECTED POEMS” are the ultimate statement on Ginsberg’s art.” — Chicago Tribune
“he wrote any number of splendid, singular poems that no other American poet of our age was capable of penning…the Spoken Word, Romantic, street-smart, vatic, wise-ass, good-humored anti-academic drift in American verse is largely the stepchild of his singular brilliance.” — San Diego Union-Tribune
“The volume gathers for the first time all the published verse of beat poet Ginsberg, whose raw voice led poetry in a new, radical direction…Taken together, this collection serves as Ginsberg’s autobiography and a history, in verse, of a turbulent time in American culture.” — Salt Lake City Tribune
“The volume gathers for the first time all the published verse of...poet Ginsberg...A history...of a turbulent time.” — Salt Lake City Tribune
“Essential…COLLECTED POEMS…is easily the best of the bunch…Some 50 years later, Ginsberg’s talent still glows on paper.” — The Post and Courier
“Ginsberg’s poems are reminders that those who face a culture’s disapproval can approve themselves.” — The Progressive
“Ginsberg is both tragic and dynamic, a lyrical genius, con man extraordinaire and probably the single greatest influence on American poetical voice since Whitman.” — Bob Dylan
