One Hundred Great Books in Haiku (Popular Penguin) by David Bader

$12.99 AUD

Available Stock:
4

Category: Poetry | Series: Popular Penguins Ser.

In the sixteenth century, Japanese monks developed the haiku, a poem consisting of (respectively) three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. Now, David Bader applies this ancient poetic form to 100 Great Books. From Homer to Milton to Dostoyevsky, the entire literary canon is finally within reach of even the shortest attention spans. The formal requirements of the haiku have, admittedly, necessitated a few cuts, such as characters, plot, dialogue and descriptive passages. Still, these are small sacrifices in view of the huge savings in time and shelf space. Avoid eyestrain and deforestation and show off your literary prowess at parties. It's the perfect gift for today's busy reader. ...Show more

History & the Poet Essays on Australian Poetry by Robert Wood

$24.95 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Poetry

History & the Poet is a series of essays on contemporary Australian poetry. In language clear and precise, Robert Wood poses philosophical and ideological questions that matter for poetry now. History & the Poet offers an entry point to a rich and complex world, and is a compelling vision of wha t poetry can become. It includes discussion of Wood's own experiences and identity as part of a broader conversation about who we are and why poetry matters. This is a welcome and fearless set of writings by Robert Wood: he's unafraid to talk about poetry and its centrality to his life and the many, varied communities within which he moves. These short essays are lively, vivid impressions of how poetry provides a way of understanding the world, politics and history. Sometimes aphoristic, sometimes humorous, they remind us of our expanding linguistic universe, and especially the rich language communities of Australia, including the Indigenous ones. These writings are part of a brilliant, younger generation's new uptake of poetry and poetics - a lot of readers will wish to live in their world. ...Show more

Oyster Mountain - Poems by Jalal El-Kadali by Jalal El-Kadali

$14.95 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Poetry

Follow the science into a panic room whose walls are the fear of death. It has a window you duck down beneath, the fibro rattling like an n-dimensional membrane as thin glass shatters to ornament your back like that of a stegosaurus. But you will survive as those brainless dragons did for aye-and look, the toilet altar stands unshaken.   Oyster Mountain is a resounding answer to a pronounced contemplation, that of the avant poet's place in an increasingly decentralized art culture. Jalal's preoccupations are cosmic and vast, incorporating narrative forms, comical sleight-of-hand, and zeitgeist subversion into a kaleidoscopic immersion that provokes and interrogates the existential dimensions of a modernity awash with mythic, historical and oneiric preconceptions and archetypes. It is poetic as it is intensely philosophical and metalinguistic. A logophile's poet, Jalal's language is romantic andlush, abounding with startling juxtapositions and enigmatic semiotics, images of history being forged and cobbled and trampled in a stampede. More than poetry, Oyster Mountain has the texture and breadth of inquiry, of erotic tableaux. It is a sensory spectacle haunted by travels spiritual and physical and tortured illuminations.--Manuel Marrero, Expat Press   El-Kadali has remarkable skill at creating poetic imagery that evokes immediate, visceral emotion from the reader.--William Duryea ...Show more

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald

$19.95 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Poetry | Series: Oxford World's Classics

'The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.' In the 'rubaiyat' (short epigrammatic poems) of the medieval Persian poet, mathematician, and philosopher Omar Khayyam, Edward FitzGerald saw an unflinching challenge to the illusions and consolations of mankind in every age. His version of Omar is neither a translation nor an independent poem; sceptical of divine providence and insistent on the pleasure of the passing moment, its 'Orientalism' offers FitzGerald a powerful and distinctive voice, in whose accents a whole Victorian generation comes to life. Although the poem's vision is bleak, it is conveyed in some of the most beautiful and haunting images in English poetry - and some of the sharpest- edged. The poem sold no copies at all on its first appearance in 1859, yet when it was 'discovered' two years later its first admirers included Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburne, and Ruskin. Daniel Karlin's richly annotated edition does justice to the scope and complexity of FitzGerald's lyrical meditation on 'human death and fate'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. ...Show more

Apparently by Joanne Burns

$24.00 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Poetry

The poems collected in apparently appear like visions, intensely experienced but barely real. Where does a poem come from? Over four sections this question is considered. The first section gathers poems spring-boarding from the clues and solutions to crossword puzzles; the second recounts unsettling dre ams in the form of prose poems or microfictions; 'dial', the longest section, acknowledges the bewildering sense of daily time and the dizzying spectacle of social and worldly matters contained within. Finally, from a more restful or relaxed vantage, 'the random couch' presents a number of drifting poems, written while the poet was lounging on the sofa. Joanne Burns is Australia's pre-eminent satirical poet, and her poems are remarkable for their verve and humour and word-play, and the way in which their linguistic resonances suddenly confound your expectations.Her most recent poetry collections published by Giramondo are amphoraand brush, which won the 2016 NSW Premier's Kenneth Slessor Poetry Prize. Her work has been taught in high schools, and produced for radio, television, performance and theatre ...Show more
