The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht
Par Tom Kuhn, David Constantine. 2019
Widely celebrated as the greatest German playwright of the twentieth century, Bertolt Brecht was also, as George Steiner observed, “that…
very rare phenomenon, a great poet, for whom poetry is an almost everyday visitation and drawing of breath.” Hugely prolific, Brecht also wrote more than two thousand poems―though fewer than half were published in his lifetime, and early translations were heavily censored. Now, award-winning translators David Constantine and Tom Kuhn have heroically translated more than 1,200 poems in the most comprehensive English collection of Brecht’s poetry to date. Written between 1913 and 1956, these poems celebrate Brecht’s unquenchable “love of life, the desire for better and more of it,” and reflect the technical virtuosity of an artist driven by bitter and violent politics, as well as by the untrammeled forces of love and erotic desire. A monumental achievement and a reclamation, The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht is a must-have for any lover of twentieth-century poetry.The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons: Volume 2 1978-2005
Par A R Ammons, Robert M West, Helen Vendler. 2017
An essential volume from “a master maker” (Richard Howard). “If you will sit with me in the light // of…
speech, I will sit with you. . . .” Readers who accept that invitation will find themselves in extraordinary company. The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons, Volume II presents the second half of Archie Randolph Ammons’s long career, including the complete texts of his two book-length poems from that period: Garbage, for which he won his second National Book Award, and Glare, which drew special praise from the Academy of American Poets as it bestowed on him its highest honor, the Wallace Stevens Award. In addition, two appendices offer over one hundred and twenty previously uncollected poems dating from the 1950s to the late 1990s. Among this volume’s many highlights are celebrations of the natural world (such as “Hermit Lark” and “Lofty Calling”), poems of remembrance (as in “Chinaberry” and “Keeping Track”), prayers (“Singling & Doubling Together” and “Autonomy”), and compelling meditations on loss and mortality (such as “Easter Morning” and “In View of the Fact”). As in Volume I, the variety of scale is remarkable, ranging from the massiveness of Glare to the haiku-like brevity of “Pebble’s Story.” The text of each poem has been established after careful consideration of Ammons’s manuscripts and other prepublication materials. Endnotes detail the poems’ composition and publication histories, and also helpfully annotate references made within the poems. Celebrated poetry critic Helen Vendler’s introduction both humanizes Ammons and traces the growth of his outsized stature as a major poet, “unquestionably among the best-loved poets of our time” (David Lehman).Famous Men of Ancient Rome: Lives of Julius Caesar, Nero, Marcus Aurelius and Others

seu livro Cidade de Memórias e Outros Poemas. É uma antologia de seus poemas intuitivos e filosóficos. Os poemas são divididos em seis segmentos: “Canção de amor de um andarilho” é mais ou menos um registro de viagens íntimo. “O homem espelhado” é sobre outras quimeras da cidade. As pessoas na cidade são imprevisíveis como o andar de um caranguejo ou as cores de um camaleão. Enquanto, “O caminho para a sabedoria” é sobre o embarque inicial à meditação e ao conhecimento. “À margem” registra o senso de futilidade, memoria, dor, exílio e alienação do poeta à margem da vida. O título desta coleção é também o título da última das seis sessões, na qual a cidade é revelada como um lugar de mercado, como um paraíso para oprimidos, e como uma semente de mudanças, e é observada ao anoitecer, à meia noite, pela luz da lua e pela névoa e bruma. O poema intitulado “Auto-retrato” começa com a diagramação de sete páginas em branco onde o leitor encontra apenas três palavras no final da última página. Aqui “o poeta se encontra em um momento de epifania, descobre a verdadeira natureza de si próprio quando acorda, ‘para ver/Eu” ‘descoberto além do pensamento’. Entre ‘Eu’ e ‘descoberto além do pensamento’ têm cinco páginas em branco. A epifania inefável e ambígua. Pode sugerir tanto a descoberta de um Eu transcendental além de todo pensamento e linguagem quanto pode sugerir a descoberta de uma Ausência além do pensamento e da fala humana.Marie, reine d'Écosse : le règne oublié

du roi Jacques IV et de sa femme Marguerite Tudor, le statut de la reine Marie en tant qu’héritière présomptive du trône, ajouté à la violence de la reforme écossaise, créa la prémisse pour une des vies les plus dramatiques et les moins comprises du 16e siècle. Marie, reine d’Ecosse raconte la véritable histoire de Marie, se concentrant principalement sur son règne en tant que reine d’Ecosse, célébrant sa vie plus que sa mort et nous montrant pourquoi elle était vraiment une femme en avance sur son temps. Une biographie narrative de la série des Femmes Légendaire de l’Histoire du Monde.The Mjølnir Impact Event and its Consequences: Geology and Geophysics of a Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous Marine Impact Event (Impact Studies)

relatively new and rapidly expanding scientific discipline of ichnology. In addition to presenting a range of ichnological research databases that are widely applicable to multidisciplinary research fields in geology, biophysics, biology, ecology, geomorphology and the marine and environmental sciences, it addresses the global concern of rising sea levels to explain growing ecological problems, from the mass mortality of coastal organisms and rapid loss of mangrove forest wealth, to widespread coastal and riverbank erosion. It also demonstrates the value of applying new ichnological tools to coastal geotechnical planning and programming, and to groundwater exploration. Thus, the book addresses a broad readership including earth scientists from various disciplines, state administrators and members of the general public.This book is devoted to 250 years of collecting, organizing and preserving paleontological specimens by generations of scientists. Paleontological collections…
are a huge resource for modern research and should be available for national and international scientists and institutions, as well as prospective public and private customers. These collections are an important part of the scientific enterprise, supporting research, public education, and the documentation of past biodiversity. Much of what we are beginning to understand about our world, we owe to the collection, preservation, and ongoing study of natural specimens. Properly preserved collections of fossil marine or terrestrial plants and animals are archives of Earth's history and vital to our ability to learn about our place in its future.The approach employed by the editors involves not only an introduction to the paleontological collections in general, but also information on the international and national collection networks. Particular attention is given to new exhibition concepts and approaches of sorting, preserving and researching in paleontological collections and also their neglect and/or threat. In addition, the book provides information on all big public museums, on important state museums and regional Museums, and also on university collections.This is a highly informative and carefully presented book, providing scientific insight for readers with an interest in fossil record, biodiversity, taxonomy, or evolution, as well as natural history collections at large.Advances in South American Micropaleontology: Selected Papers of the 11th Argentine Paleontological Congress (Springer Earth System Sciences)

por el reconocido poeta israelí Mois Benarroch. Entre el Rayo y el Trueno Entre el rayo y el trueno para cuando veo tu luz ya hay demasiado ruido. Aquí En estas calles el ángel que caminó antes que yo me ayudó a caminar evitando que cayera me salvó cuando tuve un accidente de coche en la cabeza cerca de la sinagoga sobre la cabeza del año aquí en estas calles tan vacías de mí lloré por primera vez sonreí por primera vez y desde aquí viajé a todas partes ahora he vuelto buscando la comprensión de las casas, las calles, las aceras, la gente. Si Me Ves por la Calle y no te saludo no creas que no quiero tu compañía o que intento hacerte daño si me ves por la calle y estoy pensando en otro poema en otras palabras que puedan por fin describir la línea del firmamento que se conecta entre mis piernas y la ciudad en la que nací un gran arco iris si me ves por la calle y no digo hola no es una declaración de guerra sino una mirada hacia el futuro. Arena me llevó veinte años aprender a llorar en hebreo entonces mis palabras se volvieron suaves como una roca cuyo secreto fue desvelado por la lluvia: estaba hecha de arena.Esquina em Tetuão

Par Craig Childs. 2018
From the author of Apocalyptic Planet comes a vivid travelogue through prehistory, that traces the arrival of the first people…
in North America at least twenty thousand years ago and the artifacts that tell of their lives and fates.In Atlas of a Lost World, Craig Childs upends our notions of where these people came from and who they were. How they got here, persevered, and ultimately thrived is a story that resonates from the Pleistocene to our modern era. The lower sea levels of the Ice Age exposed a vast land bridge between Asia and North America, but the land bridge was not the only way across. Different people arrived from different directions, and not all at the same time.The first explorers of the New World were few, their encampments fleeting. The continent they reached had no people but was inhabited by megafauna—mastodons, giant bears, mammoths, saber-toothed cats, five-hundred-pound panthers, enormous bison, and sloths that stood one story tall. The first people were hunters—Paleolithic spear points are still encrusted with the proteins of their prey—but they were wildly outnumbered and many would themselves have been prey to the much larger animals.Atlas of a Lost World chronicles the last millennia of the Ice Age, the violent oscillations and retreat of glaciers, the clues and traces that document the first encounters of early humans, and the animals whose presence governed the humans’ chances for survival. A blend of science and personal narrative reveals how much has changed since the time of mammoth hunters, and how little. Across unexplored landscapes yet to be peopled, readers will see the Ice Age, and their own age, in a whole new light.Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, shares personal remembrances of her father and through conversations with politicians, media personalities,…
celebrities and leaders, explores the influence that he continues to have on the issues at the heart of America's identity. Robert F. Kennedy staunchly advocated for civil rights, education, justice, and peace; his message transcended race, class, and creed, resonating deeply within and across America. He was the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency and was expected to run against Republican Richard Nixon in the 1968 presidential election, following in the footsteps of his late brother John. After winning the California presidential primary on June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot, and he died the following day. He was forty-two. Fifty years later, Robert Kennedy's passions and concerns and the issues he championed are-for better and worse-still so relevant. RIPPLES OF HOPE explores Kennedy's influence on issues at the heart of America's identity today, including moral courage, economic and social justice, the role of government, international relations, youth, violence, and support for minority groups, among other salient topics. RIPPLES OF HOPE captures the legacy of former senator and U.S. attorney general Robert F. Kennedy through commentary from his daughter, as well as interviews with dozens of prominent national and international figures who have been inspired by him. They include Barack Obama, John Lewis, Marian Wright Edelman, Alfre Woodard, Harry Belafonte, Bono, George Clooney, Gloria Steinem, and more. They share personal accounts and stories of how Kennedy's words, life, and values have influenced their lives, choices, and actions. Through these interviews, Kerry Kennedy aims to enlighten people anew about her father's legacy and bring to life RFK's values and passions, using as milestones the end of his last campaign and a life that was cut off much too soon.Thurston Clarke provides a powerful foreword to the book with his previous reporting on RFK's funeral train. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva}Les Litanies de l'émigré

Le poete et romancier Benarroch a été traduit dans des dizaines de langues, dont l'urdu et le chinois. Julia Uceda…
considère que la poésie de Benarroch renferme la mémoire du monde alors que Jose Luis Garcia Martin pense qu'il s'agit de plus que de poèmes, il s'agit d'une référence. Témoin de son temps, Benarroch a commencé à écrire des poèmes en anglais à l'âge de 15 ans et a toujours écrit dans sa langue maternelle, l'espagnol. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle édition de « Les Litanies de l'émigré », elle inclut le poème le plus célèbre de Benarroch, qui donne son nom à cette collection. Dans ce livre, Mois Benarroch (né en 1959 au Maroc) évoque son émigration et l'art de vivre entre deux mondes, sans jamais s'intégrer.
