It marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influen... czytaj więcej

A selection of poems written between 1963-88 by Michael Ondaatje, the novelist, demonstrating an acute sense of story and social density.Ondaatje's witty and elegant poems resemble the whimsical dreamscapes of Rousseau, except that they are tinged with a rueful, sometimes mocking, irony. The poems have the feel of being written in a lonely moonlit kitchen at 2 a.m. in an atmosphere of deeply savored melanCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information,... czytaj więcej

"Jeden z najbardziej znanych utworów poetyckich XX wieku, w Polsce spopularyzowany przez Piwnicę pod Baranami. Wielokrotnie przedrukowywany z mylną, choć romantycznie brzmiącą informacją, że znaleziono go "w starym kościele w Baltimore w 1692 roku". Tak naprawdę powstał w latach dwudziestych minionego wieku, a jego autorem jest dziś niestety zapomniany amerykański poeta pochodzenia niemieckiego, Max Ehrmann.

W roku 2004 minęła siedemsetna rocznica urodzin Petrarki, a dotychczas nie ukazało się w Polsce pełne wydanie jego Canzoniere - zbioru włoskich poezji. Polski czytelnik zna zatem tylko jedną stronę tworczości poetyckiej Francesca Petrarki - miłosne sonety dedykowane Laurze. W rzeczywistości Canzoniere to zbiór o wiele bogatszy zarówno pod względem tematycznym (tematyka filozoficzna czy religijna), jak i formalnym (kancony, sekstyny, ballady). Każ... czytaj więcej

‘The hour is come, as master of my fate, To prove in man the stature of a god’ The medieval myth of Faust’s pact with the devil preoccupied Goethe for most of his working life and in the thirty years during which he worked on Part One he reshaped the legend to dramatize his own very personal concerns as a poet. His version depicts Faust as the greatest scholar of his age, master of every branch of learning – from philosop... czytaj więcej
