Collected Poems de Galway Kinnell

Collected Poems

Autor Galway Kinnell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2018

Considerăm acest volum ca fiind un instrument de referință profesională și academică esențial pentru studiul poeziei americane contemporane. Collected Poems reprezintă suma unei cariere de șase decenii, oferind o perspectivă completă asupra evoluției lui Galway Kinnell, de la formalismul începuturilor până la versul liber, intens și visceral, care i-a definit maturitatea. Remarcăm prezența unor piese fundamentale precum „The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World”, o explorare a vieții imigranților din New York, și „The Book of Nightmares”, o lucrare de dimensiuni ample care a marcat conștiința literară a anilor '70.

Subliniem structura cronologică a ediției, care permite cititorului să urmărească tranziția autorului de la temele exterioare, sociale, către o introspecție neîndurătoare și o celebrare a lumii naturale. Volumul integrează 22 de imagini alb-negru, care punctează vizual ritmul textului, oferind o experiență de lectură imersivă. Comparativ cu Collected Poems Thomas Kinsella, care se concentrează pe peisaj și investigații psihologice într-un cadru formalist, opera lui Kinnell este mult mai ancorată în fizicalitatea existenței și în legătura mistică dintre sine și elementele naturii.

Această ediție extinde moștenirea lăsată de Selected Poems, lucrarea care i-a adus premiile Pulitzer și National Book Award, oferind acum contextul complet al poemelor sale târzii. Este o alternativă necesară la Midnight Lantern de Tess Gallagher pentru cursurile de literatură americană, cu avantajul unei viziuni unitare asupra unui secol de transformări estetice și sociale, filtrate prin sensibilitatea unui poet care a reușit să dea formă durabilă legăturii dintre individ și univers.

Despre autor

Galway Kinnell (1927–2014) a fost una dintre figurile proeminente ale literaturii americane, servind ca poet laureat al statului Vermont și fiind membru al Academiei Poeților Americani. Cariera sa academică a fost marcată de poziția de profesor de scriere creativă la New York University. În 1982, volumul său Selected Poems a fost distins cu Premiul Pulitzer și National Book Award, confirmându-i statutul de voce esențială. Opera sa, influențată de traducerea unor autori precum Rilke, se distinge printr-o onestitate brutală și o capacitate rară de a găsi sacrul în detaliile materiale ale lumii.

Descriere scurtă

The life’s work of “one of the true master poets of his generation,”* whose poetry helped shape the consciousness of an age

For Galway Kinnell, it was “the poet’s job to figure out what’s happening within oneself, to figure out the connection between the self and the world, and to get it down in words that have a lasting shape, that have a chance of lasting.” This comprehensive volume includes “The Avenue Bearing the Initial of Christ into the New World,” Kinnell’s stunning poem of immigrant life on the Lower East Side of New York, the incantatory book-length poem The Book of Nightmares, the searing evocation of Hiroshima in “The Fundamental Project of Technology,” the iconic themes of his middle years—eros, family, the natural world (“After Making Love We Hear Footsteps,” “The Bear,” “Saint Francis and the Sow,” “Blackberry Eating”)—and the unflinchingly introspective work of his later years. Spanning six decades, this is the essential collection for old and new devotees of “a poet of the rarest ability . . . who can flesh out music, raise the spirits, and break the heart.”**

Recenzii

A New York Times Noteworthy Book   "Fans of Galway Kinnell won't want to miss his Collected Poems, which reminds readers, three years after his death, why he is still one of our most beloved, essential poets. Kinnell, whose honors include the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, imbued his poems with resonant images and a breathtaking combination of compassion, fragility and strength."   –The Washington Post   "Kinnell’s best poems are great with self, not piously emptied of it: alluringly proficient, capacious, seductive, roving; willing to make large claims, and risk the equation of a sounding phrase with an immortal sweetness.  As durable, as universal, as unequivocally and unironically wholehearted as any twentieth or twenty-first century poet could hope to be."  –Poetry Magazine   "Galway Kinnell excelled at creating immersive moments. The stanzas and scenes of his plain-spoken verse are grounded in physical detail and acute psychological insight, even as they explore more abstract philosophical territory. From his dark preoccupations—mortality, and the familiar ugliness of everyday life—he draws a sense of beauty and wonder."  –The Atlantic   "Kinnell's poems are exactly what one thinks of when one thinks of contemporary poetry. It is impossible to consider the landscape of the last 50 years of American poetry without Kinnell…[he] was inarguably a great poet. Specificity itself — the great bounty of attending intimately to life's minutia — is another of Kinnell's great subjects and poetic practices. Kinnell teaches…attentiveness."  –L.A. Times   "Kinnell’s lifelong love of the world and its creatures, his faith in natural process, and his attempts to reconcile nature and culture will continue to appeal to those who care about and want to understand our place on this planet." –Harvard Review   "To read this collection from the start is to experience the evolution of Kinnell’s understanding of poetic form but also to witness his unique voice and sensibility, essentially present from the earliest years. Of all the poets of his generation, Kinnell is likely the most sanguine and sane, the one most exuberantly in love with life—all of it, and he embraces it all to rise again in his poems."  –World Literature Today   "Whether the details are urban or rural, [Kinnell’s] strongest poems have the vigor and precision of acutely observed nature writing. And they demonstrate his special expertise with a flexible yet pressurized poetic line. Through his Collected Poems thrums a metrical pulse, and the vowels often reverberate as though a line of verse were a flexing plank struck by the voice. Now, this new Collected Poems provides definitive renderings of Kinnell's poetry in a majestic hardcover volume. Gathering the poems in one place for those who've long loved his work, it's also a welcoming gateway for newcomers."  –Seven Days —
