Hold Your Own, Kate Tempest's first full-length collection for Picador is an ambitious, multi-voiced work based around the mythical figure of Tiresias. This four-part work follows him through his transformations from child, man and woman to blind prophet; through this structure, Tempest holds up a mirror to contemporary life in a direct and provocative way rarely associated with poetry. A vastly popular and accomplished performance poet, Tempest commands a huge and dedicated following on the performance and rap circuit. Brand New Ancients, also available from Picador, won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry and has played to packed concert halls on both sides of the Atlantic.

Le 24 juin 1917, dans un théâtre de la butte Montmartre, a lieu la première des Mamelles de Tirésias, « drame surréaliste » de Guillaume Apollinaire. La salle est bondée, le Tout-Paris artistique et intellectuel s’y écrase, dans une ambiance houleuse et survoltée. André Breton s’efforce de calmer Jacques Vaché qui, afin d’obtenir une place assise, brandit un revolver. Peter Read reconstitue l’événement et le scandale qu’il a soulevé, nous mène aux sources du mouvement surréaliste et au cœur de l’étrange saison qu’est en France le printemps 1917 : les mutineries se multiplient dans l’armée ; des milliers de femmes en grève défilent à travers les rues de la capitale ; la vie artistique et littéraire est revitalisée par une étonnante renaissance culturelle. Apollinaire met alors en scène une héroïne qui s’insurge contre l’autorité masculine, revendique des droits égaux à ceux de l’homme, quitte le foyer conjugal. Son mari, quant à lui, décide de faire des enfants tout seul, à la place de son épouse insoumise. Apollinaire brouille les identités sexuelles et refuse le conformisme culturel que voudraient imposer les tenants de l’ordre et de l’Union sacrée. L’actualité sert de tremplin à l’épanouissement tous azimuts de son imaginaire poétique, et à la réalisation d’une conception radicalement novatrice de l’art théâtral. Peter Read révèle et analyse, pour la première fois, les sources et la genèse de la pièce, le jeu des acteurs, le dialogue, le décor, les costumes et la musique. Il nous fait découvrir toutes les dimensions sonores et visuelles d’une œuvre drôle, poignante et visionnaire. Les Mamelles de Tirésias : œuvre-clé pour l’histoire du théâtre du XXe siècle.

Here Stephen Tracy offers a vivid, fast-paced narrative that serves as a reading guide to Homer's monumental epic. He not only provides translations of key passages and traces the evolution of major themes in the Odyssey, but also helps new readers to understand the artistry of one of the best tales ever told. Aimed at advanced readers as well, this book stresses an appreciation of how Homer has ordered his narrative, covering such topics as character interaction, family relationships, elements of poetic language, and the symbolic treatment of death, rebirth, growth, and knowledge. Given the controversy over the way the Odyssey was composed and handed down, Tracy concentrates on presenting the poem as a highly unified work. His analysis of the narrative structure reveals the epic to be arranged as a series of parallel journeys. The journey, seen here as a symbol of growth and self-knowledge, is among the major themes discussed in detail, along with the importance of women as overseers of life's journeys and the need for the sons of heroes to grow up worthy of their fathers.

To probe the literary representation of the alienated mind, Lillian Feder examines mad protagonists of literature and the work of writers for whom madness is a vehicle of self-revelation. Ranging from ancient Greek myth and tragedy to contemporary poetry, fiction, and drama, Professor Feder shows how literary interpretations of madness, as well as madness itself, reflect the very cultural assumptions, values, and prohibitions they challenge.

Taking seriously Guillaume Apollinaire's wager that twentieth-century poets would one day "mechanize" poetry as modern industry has mechanized the world, Carrie Noland explores poetic attempts to redefine the relationship between subjective expression and mechanical reproduction, high art and the world of things. Noland builds upon close readings to construct a tradition of diverse lyricists--from Arthur Rimbaud, Blaise Cendrars, and René Char to contemporary performance artists Laurie Anderson and Patti Smith--allied in their concern with the nature of subjectivity in an age of mechanical reproduction.
