Cross Worlds

Editat de Anne Waldman, Laura Wright
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2014

Subliniem relevanța acestui compendiu pentru studiile avansate de literatură comparată și antropologie culturală, oferind un fundament teoretic și practic pentru înțelegerea hibridității în poezia contemporană. Cross Worlds nu este o simplă antologie, ci un document viu al alianțelor transculturale, esențial pentru cercetătorii interesați de modul în care limbajul poetic traversează frontierele politice și sociale. Notăm cu interes structura sa eclectică, ce îmbină eseul critic cu dialogul informal și „rap-ul socratic”, reflectând pedagogia nonconformistă a Școlii Kerouac.

Progresia conținutului, așa cum este indicată în cuprins, ghidează cititorul de la analiza formelor tradiționale, precum cântecele aborigene discutate de Allen Ginsberg, până la intervenții politice directe, cum este relatarea lui Andrei Codrescu despre evenimentele din România anului 1989. Putem afirma că volumul reușește să integreze perspective diverse — de la poetica arabă prezentată de Pierre Joris la cultura Hip-Hop analizată de Alexs Pate — oferind o imagine de ansamblu asupra activismului cultural global. Alternativă la Resident Alien de Mohammed Kazim Ali pentru cursurile de poetică transnațională, acest volum aduce în plus dimensiunea colectivă a „vortexului poetic” de la Naropa, punând accent pe dialogul direct între creatori.

În contextul operei editoriale a lui Anne Waldman, Cross Worlds extinde cercetarea începută în Beats at Naropa, deplasând focalizarea de la moștenirea generației Beat către o rețea globală de influențe. Dacă în Fast Speaking Woman Anne Waldman explora ritualul și incantația ca forțe individuale, aici coordonează o polifonie de voci care revendică spațiul liminal al granițelor ca loc de naștere al noii literaturi mondiale.

Recenzii


“There are serious riches on hand in this latest marvel-filled gleaning from the Kerouac School’s indispensable yearly summertime transcultural poetic vortex. Equally attentive to the voices of those who have left us and those still around to "put fire on this crazy world," Editors Anne Waldman and Laura Wright have herein beautifully gathered a host of high-voltage talks, panels, interviews and razor-sharp asides whose collective brilliance out burns anything this side of the sun.” —Laird Hunt

“Filled with a variety of useful riches that traverse a dizzying array of languages, geographies, and political realities, Cross Worlds: Transcultural Poetics—like previous volumes Civil Disobediences and Beats at Naropa—continues to deliver the goods stored in the Archives of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. We are in need, more than ever, of this kind of archival attention, as even our recent past gets consumed by the present. This ‘news that stays news’ moves from Allen Ginsberg on Aboriginal poetics to Vietnam, the Mayan classics, Puerto Rico, African America, and the need for gringos to encounter the world as seen through Arab and other eyes. Poetic thought here, the thought of poets, is provocative, critical, and necessary, a way of grasping the worlds we now live in and how they came to be.” —Ammiel Alcalay

“This wondrous, extraordinary collection reflects the facets and range of artists that interact with each other and fellow luminary Anne Waldman, evoking human interactions beyond our constructions of nations and states and prompting us to think about our connection to the planet itself and all its inhabitants. Contemplative, illuminating, unusual, and global, Cross Worlds is an excellent compilation of the confluence of global systems and renowned workers/players/ experimenters of language and culture. What’s also really wonderful in it are the many instances of these word masters in conversation with each other and the insights generated by their discourse. I appreciate what this book will continue to do for future decades, future books, future worlds.”—Tracie Morris

"This collection presents an excellent snapshot of contemporary international poetry."—Cultural Weekly

"A firm belief in poetry’s inherent transformative principle properties is pervasive throughout this collection. From continents to languages, there’s a diverse offering of perspective both historical and contemporary."—Jacket 2
