Abstract

Orbit connects the intimate with what is farthest from us, mixing what we can imagine with what is daily and near. Landscapes stretch from stable and fulfilling domestic interiors to the destiny of our sun as an exploding red giant. That dilemma of human fertility and love facing ultimate destruction is orchestrated by the author's provocative voice and coiled lines, which fondle and handle the reader's heart and mind in a bright light. The book insists on connecting the three eras of human experience -- Then, Now, and When -- at every turn. Orbit continues the unique aesthetic of Vogelsang's first five award-winning books through its "oddly direct original persona," its "mind -- prophetic, wild, loony," its "language of surveillance and trembling," and the poems' ability "to find and magnify the emotion suddenly, instantaneously" (comments draw from other poets' reviews.) Vogelsang's new book Orbit is a dialogue between daily life and transcendent vision, insisting on the reality of each.

Abstract

Nelly Sachs. The Poetics of Silence and the Limits of Representation examines the poetry of the Nobel Prize-winning German Jewish poet Nelly Sachs. It firstly shifts established patterns of reception by analysing the author's reception in East and West Germany after the war and the role she came to play in the Federal Republic as a representative 'Poet of Reconciliation'. The study then situates Sachs' work within the framework of the debate surrounding the representation of the Holocaust by means of a thorough exposition of the aporia at the heart of Theodor Adorno's writings on post-Holocaust art. It demonstrates by close reading how Sachs' work is itself marked by this aporetic struggle and exposes in particular the aesthetic means by which Sachs renders this aporetic tension legible in her poetry through her use of, for example, prosopopoeia, her recasting of traditional metaphors and her reversal of biblical archetypes. The primary question addressed is whether Sachs' poetry, in spite of the fact that it thematises the impossibility of adequate representation, has representational value, or whether her work is bereft of concrete, representational meaning as a result of the often fragmented nature of her writing. In particular, the author confronts those critics who see in Sachs' work elements of consolation, reconciliation, or redemption in a transcendental realm, in favour of a reading that regards her work as permeated with the concrete events of the Holocaust and irreconcilably opposed to any notion of a religious sense-making and redemptive paradigm.

Abstract

Drawing on the poetry of four major voices in the Spanish lyric of today, Judith Nantell explores the epistemic works of Luis Muñoz, Abraham Gragera, Josep M. Rodríguez, and Ada Salas, arguing that, for them, the poem is the fundamental means of exploring the nature of both knowledge and poetry. In this first interpretive analysis of the epistemic nature of their poetry, Nantell innovatively engages these poets, each of whom has contributed one of their own poems along with a previously unpublished explication of their chosen poem. Each also provides an original biographical sketch to support Nantell's development of a poetics of epiphany.

Abstract

La revue Italique est consacrée à l’étude de la poésie italienne de la Renaissance dans la période qui va de Pétrarque à l’âge baroque. Un véritable âge d’or, si l’on songe à l’archétype des Rerum vulgarium Fragmenta et aux canzonieri du XVIe siècle, mais aussi une époque pleine de contradictions, quand on pense au conflit du vulgaire avec l’humanisme latin au cours du « siècle sans poésie », de la mort de Pétrarque à Laurent le Magnifique. Le Tasse, Chiabrera et le Cavalier Marin, à la fin du XVIe siècle, ébranlent la toute-puissance des modèles classiques en procédant à la liquidation de l’idéal pétrarquiste. Cette poésie italienne, en latin et en langue vulgaire, a représenté des siècles durant la poésie par excellence et a constitué pour tous un modèle. Son intense maniérisme, la cadence harmonieuse de son style, qui faisaient autrefois son prix, la tiennent à l’écart du goût contemporain, si friand d’originalité.

Abstract

"This anthology presents substantial selections from the work of twenty Manchu women poets of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The poems, inspired by their daily life and reflections, provide fascinating insights into the experiences and emotions of these women, most of whom belonged to the elite families of Manchu society. Each selection is accompanied by biographical material that illuminates the life stories of the poets. The volume's introduction describes the printing history of the collections from which these poems are drawn, the authors' practice of poetry writing, ethnic and gender issues, and comparisons with the poetry of women in South China and of male authors of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911)." --publisher description.

Abstract

Anjali Nerlekar's Bombay Modern relocates the genre of poetry to the center of both Indian literary modernist studies and postcolonial Indian studies. It uncovers an alternative and provincial modernism through poetry, a genre that is marginal to postcolonial studies, and through bilingual scholarship across English and Marathi texts, a methodology that is currently peripheral at best. Eschewing any attempt to define an overarching or universal modernism, Nerlekar Focuses on "Bombay" and to the "post-1960" (sathottari) period to examine the specific way in which this poetry redeployed the regional, the national, and the international to create a very tangible yet transient local.
