Copper Canyon Press founding editor Sam Hamill has collected a global, century spanning group of poems that celebrate desire and physical experience, love and loss expressed in the body. While many well-known poets are included, the true value of this rich gathering is Hamill’s choice of lesser known poets and works. This is a collection to be read slowly, leisurely, savoring each of its jewel-like pleasures. ( ) Is there anything MORE erotic than poetry? I'm not sure. Something about the metaphors, the language, the simplicity, and usually the shortness of poems, seems to concentrate and distill the sensuality, love, and longing more than any other form. I think Sam did a great job of spanning the centuries and pulling from many sources. This is a great anthology. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This extraordinary collection of poems--covering thirty centuries of poetry from around the world--celebrates the erotic spirit in all its forms, from the passion of sexual desire to the intense longing for spiritual union. Beginning with anonymous Egyptian love songs from the fifteenth century BCE and continuing up to today's finest poets, the book draws on a broad range of cultural and spiritual traditions, including ancient Greek and Roman erotic poems, ecstatic Sufi songs, Chinese elegies for lost lovers, and bawdy English satires. Many of the poems are presented here in new translations by the editor, Sam Hamill, one of America's premier poet translators. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
