"Zid gneva" je, kako sam autor uvodi u predgovoru"Umesto pohvale poetskoj arkadiji", knjiga " o kolektivističkom zaboravu, o depresijii ludilu, o normalnosti jedne patologije, o dijagnozi jedne stvarnosti zasnovane na masovnom potiskivanju, dnevnim odbrambenim mehanizmima, laganju i krivotvorenja prošlosti, a time i sadašnjosti i budućnosti. Ona je sabijena, kondenzovana i mučna onoliko koliko je ta i takva svakidašnjica bila i ostala otrovna i nepodnošljiva. Ne znam da li će je čitaoci moći pročitati u jednom dahu, ali ja sam je stvarao praktično u kontinuitetu. Ne verujem da poezija sme više tavoriti u čarobnoj arkadijskoj zemlji, jer je tu već jednom bila, pokazavši se kao odana sluškinja poretka koji je otelotvorio međuetničku mržnju, i unakazio toliko života."

Geisli is the earliest Nordic Christian drápa (long stanzaic poem) known to exist. Written by Einarr Skúlason, the twelfth century?s premier Icelandic poet, Geisli marked a stylistic shift in Old Norse poetry brought about by Christianity and European learning. Einarr Skúlason was a priest as well as a skald, and his writing demonstrates that he was as familiar with the traditions of Latin liturgy and hagiography as with the conventions of skaldic poetry.Geisli is a very important source for the modern scholar studying Old Norse hagiography and the history of Christianity in Iceland and Norway. This new critical edition features a version in normalized orthography, as well as a version in prose word order, a translation into English, a complete glossary, an introduction that situates the poem in its context, and substantial explanatory notes. Editor Martin Chase uses the famous Flateyjarbók manuscript as a base text, but takes into account all known manuscripts of the poem. Long needed by scholars, this new edition will be extremely valuable to anyone with an interest in Old Norse as well as medievalists in other disciplines.

Poet, philosopher, and sensitive misanthrope, a spectacular fly in the ointment of the refined eleventh-century Andalusian-Jewish elite, Solomon Ibn Gabirol comes down to us as one of the most complicated intellectual figures in the history of post-biblical Judaism. Unlike his worldly predecessor Shmuel HaNagid, the first important poet of the period, Ibn Gabirol was a reclusive, mystically inclined figure whose modern-sounding medieval poems range from sublime descriptions of the heavenly spheres to poisonous jabs at court life and its pretenders. His verse, which demonstrates complete mastery of the classicizing avant-garde poetics of the day, grafted an Arabic aesthetic onto a biblical vocabulary and Jewish setting, taking Hebrew poetry to a level of metaphysical sophistication and devotional power it has not achieved since. Peter Cole's selection includes poems from nearly all of Ibn Gabirol's secular and liturgical lyric genres, as well as a complete translation of the poet's long masterwork, "Kingdom's Crown." Cole's rich, inventive introduction places the poetry in historical context and charts its influence through the centuries. Extensive annotations accompany the poems. This companion volume to Peter Cole's critically acclaimed Selected Poems of Shmuel HaNagid presents the first comprehensive selection of Ibn Gabirol's verse to be published in English and brings to life an astonishing body of poetry by one of the greatest Jewish writers of all time.

Horace is one of the leading poets of antiquity. His satires, epodes, odes, and letters greatly shaped the poetry of the modern era; his odes in particular provided an important template for the development of lyric poetry. His works are assembled here for the first time in the order in which they originally appeared. The volume also contains background information on Horace’s poetry as well as explications of individual works. Horaz (65–8 v.Chr.) gehört zu den bedeutendsten antiken Dichtern. Seine Satiren, Epoden, Oden und Briefe übten großen Einfluss auf die Poesie der Neuzeit aus; speziell die Oden waren ein wichtiges Vorbild für die Entwicklung der Lyrik. Holzberg hat die Werke erstmals in der chronologischen Reihenfolge ediert, in der sie in der Antike erschienen, in moderne Prosa übersetzt und literaturgeschichtlich erschlossen.
