Hvem var Byron og hvorfor læse en bog om ham i dag? Denne excentriske engelske lord, som Georg Brandes gav æren for at have indstiftet den moderne litteratur i Europa, og om hvilken Karen Blixen skrev, at der kun var "én bog, der ville blive skrevet igen og igen, og læst igen og igen, og hvert år blive stillet i reolen i en ny udgave, nemlig bogen om Byrons liv." Lord Byron (1788-1824) var ikke alene en af sin tids mest kontroversielle digtere, han var også en kompromisløs kunstner, der tog sit politiske engagement og frihedstrang til yderste konsekvens, på et tidspunkt hvor demokratiet var i sin vorden i Europa. Han døde i eksil som helt under den græske frihedskrig i 1824. Fortællingen om Byrons liv, fra han bliver baron som 10-årig, berømt digter som 24-årig og til hans død som 36-årig er beretningen om en af de mest dramatiske skæbner i den europæiske litteratur og tjente som inspirationskilde for et helt kontinent af forfattere. Byrons poesi, og hans kamp for frihed og tolerance, bidrager med et fornemt perspektiv til de begivenheder, der i dag præger den europæiske virkelighed. Byrons liv og værk er med to hundrede års forsinkelse med til at åbne bevidstheden for historiens betydning, dengang og nu. Grethe F. Rostbøll, mag.art., tidligere MF for De Konservative, kulturminister 1990-93, prisbelønnet forfatter og foredragsholder, tegner dette levende portræt af en af den europæiske litteraturs hovedskikkelser.

Im Jahr 1902 erhält Rainer Maria Rilke Post von einem jungen Mann, Franz Xaver Kappus, einem literarisch begabten, 19-jährigen Offiziersanwärter. Kappus ist sich nicht sicher, welche Richtung er in seinem Leben einschlagen soll, und fragt daher den großen, nur wenige Jahre älteren Dichter um Rat. Rilke antwortet ihm - auf gänzlich unerwartete Weise. In den folgenden Jahren schreibt ihm Rilke neun weitere Briefe. Sie reden, mit der ihm eigenen bescheidenen Eindringlichkeit, von nichts Geringerem als dem richtigen Leben.Die von Kappus 1929 herausgegebene Sammlung der Rilke-Briefe hat Epoche gemacht und ganze Generationen immer wieder von Neuem inspiriert. Hier wird sie in der neuen, modernen Übersetzung von dem Rilke-Kenner Ulrich Baer vorgelegt.

Prosaen er blevet kaldt den moderne litteraturs maskinrum, fordi den breder litteraturens virkefelt ud. Inden for nyere prosateori beskrives prosaen som verdensvendt, rummelig, operativ, genreoverskridende, virkelighedsudvidende og hybrid.Antologiens bidrag indeholder grundlæggende refleksioner over prosaen i en modernistisk kontekst og over dens forhold til lyrik og poesi. Det geografiske perspektiv i romaner og essays har særlig bevågenhed blandt bidragsyderne og kobles til en ekspanderende kontekst af opdagelsesrejser, kolonisering og globalisering og de dermed forbundne kulturmøder. I denne henseende repræsenterer bidragene et bredt udsnit af ældre og nyere, store og små litterære geografier i og uden for Europa. Prosaen spiller fint sammen med den opprioritering af sted og rum, som vi har set vokse frem inden for de senere årtiers litteratur og forskning i litteratur.Med denne antologi stiger vi ombord for at nærme os prosaens radierende felter. Der er undervejs stoppesteder i Island, Færøerne, Danmark, Norge, Sverige, Italien og Nord- og Sydamerika. Prosaen selv ser ud til at være ustoppelig.

Vi søgte en æstetik, vi kunne leve med, og vi søgte den gen­nem vores amerikanske rødder, vores eget land. Vi havde lært på Landbrugsskolen, at der blev skrevet poesi i vores egen tid, og at det ikke var nødvendigt at fordybe sig i akademisk viden for at skrive; vi behøvede ikke andet end de veje, vi rejste på.Fra A til Z er et fyldigt udvalg af den amerikanske maler og digter Mary Oppens selvbiografi om hendes liv sammen med digteren George Oppen samt digte og andre tekster af de fire vigtigste “objektivister”: digterne Lorine Niedecker, George Oppen, Charles Reznikoff og Louis Zukofsky, som hermed for første gang præsenteres på dansk i et dækkende historisk, politisk, socialt og kunstnerisk perspektiv.

Now with an introduction from celebrated poet James Tate, Riding the Earthboy 40 is the only volume of poetry written by acclaimed Native American novelist James Welch. The title of the book refers to the forty acres of Montana land Welch's father once leased from a Blackfeet family called Earthboy. This land and its surroundings shaped the writer's worldview as a youth, its rawness resonates in the vitality of his elegant poetry, and his verse shows a great awareness of a moment in time, of a place in nature, and of the human being in context. Deeply evoking the specific Native American experience in Montana, Welch's poems nonetheless speak profoundly to all readers. With its new introduction, this vital work that has influenced so many American writers is certain to capture a new generation of readers.

"In this bold, speculative, and immensely learned study . . . Tiffany['s concept of] lyric substance--the 'sense' of materiality supplied to us by poets like Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore--constitutes a world whose inaccessibility is legitimized by the principles of scientific materialism. Thus lyric, too long on the periphery of materialist discourse, emerges as being squarely in its center."--Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University, author of "The Futurist Moment and "Wittgenstein's Ladder"A lyrical inquiry into the circle of ideas: materialism, science, poetics. Winding through the whole is a fascinating exploration of toys--children's toys, physicists' toy models, philosophers' robots, nuclear weaponeers' toy towns. . . . My hope is that this book will contribute to a growing interest not in cleaving science from the arts but rather in exploring, poetically, the language, images and things that illuminate both." --Peter Galison, Mallinckrodt Professor of the History of Science and Physics, Harvard University"A brilliant achievement, synthesizing the history of science and poetics, technology and the arts, in an iconology of materialism. . . All that is solid melts into air in this book, but just as quickly the airy poems of our climate condense into material, objective forms, weird gadgets, and objects of scientific research. . . A wonderful feast of learning and wit." --W. J. T. Mitchell, University of Chicago, author of "Picture Theory and "Iconology"In clear-eyed and gorgeous prose, "Toy Medium moves the question of Art's encounter with Science to an utterly original point of conflagration: where matter is mostly not matter. . . . Going to the bottom of theImagination, where it still truly involves images, Tiffany explores how we have learned to see the inscrutable via our imagistic grasp of materiality. . . . This book is daring, brilliant, and deeply clever."--Jorie Graham, Boylston Professor of English, Harvard University, author of "Materialism and winner of the Pulitzer Prize

Great poetry calls into question everything. It dares us to break free from the safe strategies of the cautious mind. It opens us to pain and joy and delight. It amazes, startles, pierces, and transforms us. It can lead to communion and grace. Through the voices of ten inspiring poets and his own reflections, the author of Sacred America shows how poetry illuminates the eternal feelings and desires that stir the human heart and soul. These poems explore such universal themes as the awakening of wonder, the longing for love, the wisdom of dreams, and the courage required to live an authentic life. In thoughtful commentary on each work, Housden offers glimpses into his personal spiritual journey and invites readers to contemplate the significance of the poet's message in their own lives. In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.
