"At once unnervingly learned and boldly feelingful, Richard Blevins is a hero of the contemporary long-form poem, and CAPTIVITY NARRATIVES' driven reconsiderations of the disappeared careers of photographer Fred Holland Day and poet Adelaide Crapsey have a sweep and an intimacy that excite from line to alert line. With their heady synchronies and hyperlucid lyric fragments, their unearthings and upendings, their questing meditations and meditative narratives, their bursts of aphorism and doses of tonic fact, these are poems of an unusually welcoming intelligence and of an unassuming mastery. 'If you want to keep a secret, print it in a poem, ' Blevins writes, and fortunate is any reader privy to the confidences volunteered in these generous, essential pages"--Gary Lutz

178,95 kr. Many critical voices, in several languages, have praised the poet Vasyl Makhno. But in the case of this book such praise is only half of the golden apple. Without an excellent or, more precisely, a fully adequate translator, the poet's name would be meaningless to most people, and a book of bad translations would distort his name. Makhno is very lucky to have found an adequate English-language translator. Orest Popovych, although (or, perhaps, because) he is a scientist by profession, is able to capture not only the text but also the subtext of this poetry. Never attempting, as some poet-translators do, to outsing the original song, Popovych attentively listens not only to he words but also to the melody and spirit of these poems long before putting pen to paper. As a result, those who do not have the Ukrainian language, may rest assured that they get the kernel of these powerful texts, and those who do will delight in the translator's art.
