Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned...

In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard O'Donoghue provides a fascinating look at the many different forms of writing which have been called "poetry" - from the Greeks to the present day. As well as questioning what poetry is, he asks what poetry is for, and considers contemporary debates on its value. Is there a universality to poetry? And does it have a duty of public utility and responsibility?

The Fable of the Bees—a satirical poem, prose discussion, three essays and six dialogues completed in 1729—exposes human vices but defends them as a necessity within a wealthy society. Mandeville’s bees thrive until they start living by honesty and virtue… then they are impoverished. Mandeville did not play by the rules: he satirized the sins of society but also ridiculed the widespread hypocrisy of deploring these sins whilst reaping their benefits. He and his work were attacked for the rest of the century.

Die Faszination der vorliegenden Gedichte liegt in erster Linie in der ausgewählten Sprache und darüber hinaus im fesselnden lyrischen Gehalt. Es ist nicht immer leicht, der malerischen Sprache gerecht zu werden, die oft mehrere Standpunkte innerhalb desselben Gedichts einnimmt, beispielsweise im Gedicht „Letzte Nacht in Stammheim“, wo unvermittelt starke Gegenwartsbezüge auftauchen und das politische Erbe neu beleuchtet wird.

Jay Bernard’s powerful debut is a queer exploration of the black British archive, tracing a line between two significant events in recent British history: the New Cross Massacre of 1981 in which 13 young black people were killed in a house fire - and the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. The collection stems from research undertaken about the New Cross Fire during a 2016 residency at the George Padmore Institute.

In this book, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet C. K. Williams sets aside the mass of biography and literary criticism that has accumulated around the work and person of Walt Whitman, and attempts to go back to Leaves of Grass as he first encountered it, to explore why Whitman's epic "continues to inspire and sometimes daunt" him. The result is a personal reassessment and appreciation of one master poet by another, as well as an unconventional and brilliant introduction - or reintroduction - to Whitman.

Initialement appelé "Eau de vie" par Apollinaire, le projet d'Alcools est une anthologie retraçant son itinéraire poétique depuis 1888. Apollinaire y rassemble des poèmes anciens, aux accents symbolistes, mystérieux et faussement archaïques, des poèmes rhénans, des poèmes du renouveau écrits entre 1907 et 1911 et publiés dans diverses revues et des poèmes plus récents, encore inédits. Agencé selon un principe thématique et poétique plutôt que chronologique, dépourvu de toute ponctuation et orné d'un frontispice de Picasso, ce recueil connaît vite le succès.

A first person epic poem of Odysseus' life and journey. This poem has all the twists and turns that one might expect from the teller of the tale...which is in this case Odysseus himself. The poem starts with Odysseus chiding his unnamed summoner, thus narrating his life, starting with his childhood and ending with his ultimate triumph at the death of the suitors. However, Odysseus has an agenda of his own and attempts to turn the tables on his foe.

"Ces pages, lues à deux voix, sont tirées de 'Textes pour un poème' (1949-1970) et de 'Poèmes pour un texte' (1970-1991). Les deux livres présentent un choix, à travers quarante années de poésie. Les titres qui s'inversent voudraient refléter - comme dans un miroir - la même image, suggérer une même démarche. [...] Les guets-apens de l'événement et du temps, qui tentent d'enserrer chacun entre les parois de l'âge, des frontières, du milieu social devraient être très vite balayés par les souffles de la poésie."

Père de tous les "Brassens", ce petit gars maigriot, au regard de flamme, aux lèvres pincées, était un grand poète. Il allait chantant les gueux des villes et des champs, dans son jargon savoureux, avec son inimitable accent du terroir. Il flagellait les tartufferies, magnifiait les misères, pleurait sur les reprouvés et sonnait le tocsin des révoltes. "Un grand poète" du début du XXème siècle.
