The Collected Poems de Reynolds Price

The Collected Poems

Autor Reynolds Price
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 1999

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului The Collected Poems, o resursă fundamentală pentru studenții la filologie, cercetătorii literaturii americane contemporane și cititorii de poezie care doresc să urmărească evoluția unei voci lirice pe parcursul a patru decenii. Această antologie definitivă nu este doar o simplă retrospectivă, ci o sinteză a vitalității narative care l-a consacrat pe Reynolds Price ca o figură centrală a literelor americane.

Remarcăm structura riguroasă a volumului, care recuperează integral colecțiile Vital Provisions, The Laws of Ice și The Use of Fire. Progresia editorială indică o tranziție de la explorările mitice și biblice din secțiuni precum „Nine Mysteries”, către o introspecție profundă în noul volum inclus, „The Unaccountable Worth of the World”. Această adăugire aduce optzeci și cinci de poeme noi care marchează o schimbare de ton, orientându-se spre detaliile lumii exterioare și interioare ale unei vieți ajunse la maturitate. Comparabil cu Interglacial de James Richardson în rigurozitatea cu care distilează munca de o viață, volumul de față este actualizat pentru a reflecta complexitatea unei cariere ce a jonglat constant între sacru și profan.

Suntem de părere că această colecție trebuie înțeleasă în contextul operei vaste a lui Reynolds Price. Dacă în romane precum Kate Vaiden sau trilogia A Great Circle autorul explorează legăturile de familie și identitatea sudistă, poezia sa oferă un acces direct către „no-man's-land”-ul dintre vis și veghe, așa cum observă criticul Anthony Hecht. Textul beneficiază de o prefață în care autorul își discută ghizii spirituali și metodele, oferind un instrument critic prețios pentru înțelegerea procesului său creativ.

Despre autor

Reynolds Price (1933–2011) a fost un distins poet, romancier și eseist american, ocupând funcția de profesor de engleză „James B. Duke” la Universitatea Duke. Membru al Academiei Americane de Arte și Litere, Price a lăsat în urmă o moștenire literară impresionantă, ce cuprinde peste treizeci de volume. Interesul său constant pentru studiile biblice și literatura clasică se reflectă în precizia și rigoarea versurilor sale. Recunoscut inițial pentru succesul romanului A Long and Happy Life, Price a demonstrat o versatilitate rară, fiind considerat unul dintre cei mai importanți cronicari ai spiritului american modern.

Descriere scurtă

The definitive anthology of Reynolds Price's accomplishments in poetry over four decades, The Collected Poems opens with a preface that discusses his beginnings, guides, and methods; it then includes his first three collections in their entirety -- Vital Provisions, The Laws of Ice, and The Use of Fire -- and adds a new volume, The Unaccountable Worth of the World, eighty-five more recent poems that offer striking departures as they continue to embody Price's close attention to the exterior and the interior worlds of a lengthening and unexpectedly complex life.
The Collected Poems reveals, throughout, the accumulated variety of Reynolds Price's years as a poet -- the thematic breadth, formal steadiness, narrative vitality, and intense lyricism that have marked his work from the start. It is a landmark in a creative life that now includes more than thirty books -- poems, novels, plays, essays, translations -- and in the span of contemporary American verse.

Notă biografică

Reynolds Price (1933–2011) was born in Macon, North Carolina. Educated at Duke University and, as a Rhodes Scholar, at Merton College, Oxford University, he taught at Duke beginning in 1958 and was the James B. Duke Professor of English at the time of his death. His first short stories, and many later ones, are published in his Collected Stories. A Long and Happy Life was published in 1962 and won the William Faulkner Award for a best first novel. Kate Vaiden was published in 1986 and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. The Good Priest's Son in 2005 was his fourteenth novel. Among his thirty-seven volumes are further collections of fiction, poetry, plays, essays, and translations. Price is a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and his work has been translated into seventeen languages.

Recenzii

Mary Oliver [Price] is as erotic as Auden, as life-loving as Keats, as religious as Hopkins....The reader senses that here is the true country of poetry -- not merely poignant, but ecstatic, unbearable, and revelatory.
Anthony Hecht The populous no-man's-land between dream and waking, the human and the divine, the living and the dead, constitutes the uncanny yet strangely familiar locale of Reynolds Price's extraordinary poems which are by turns lovely and frightening, tender and troubled, but always eloquent and moving....The Collected Poems is an astonishing and singular achievement.
