Entdecke in dieser Sammlung pragmatischer Poesie, was unsere Leben so schrecklich schön und furchtbar lebenswert macht. Alles begann mit einer Idee: Leuchttürme an genau den Stellen errichten, an denen es dunkel in meinem Leben wurde. Stege genau dort aufstellen, wo ich auf Land gelaufen bin. Und Häfen genau dort errichten, wo ich Heimat finden konnte. ----------------------------- Leserstimmen: "Danke Raphael für deine wundervollen Worte. Vor einigen Jahren bin ich in ein sehr tiefes Loch gefallen und hatte extreme Existenzängste. Da bin ich auf deine Texte aufmerksam geworden. Mit deinen Worten habe ich damals Brücken und Leuchttürme gebaut und einen Weg aus dem tiefen Tal gefunden. Heute fühle ich mich, dank Dir, glücklicher und freie als jemals zuvor." - Regine G. / MutHafen Leserin - "Ich danke Dir für diese berührenden, durch Raum und Zeit dringenden Worte. Mega cool.

Number of Pages: 108Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: AmericanFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Encircle Publications, LLCAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: George GuidaLanguage: English Book Synopsis "In poems that are in turn part Frank O'Hara, part Woody Allen and part Frank Sinatra, George Guida gives us a book that celebrates love and New York. Unabashed and joyously unapologetic in its romanticism, New York and Other Lovers builds a cityscape of poems where we may all fall head over heels." -Gerry LaFemina, author of The Story of Ash, Vanishing Horizons and Composing Poetry: A Guide to Writing Poetry and Thinking Lyrically"New York and Other Lovers gives us what the title promises and more; it's a love letter to NYC and its residents, past and present, with all their flaws and foibles. It's a book only a New Yorker could write, someone intimate with the subways, streets, and smells. In the tradition of Ginsburg and O'Hara (there's a poem dedicated to each of them in the collection), Guida's universe is vast and varied. From unrequited and lost lovers to the collapsed Twin Towers, Guida's poems work an alchemy like Proust's madeleine to conjure all that haunts us. With empathy, imagination, and wit, he reminds us that we "once had a home." -Jennifer Franklin, author of No Small Gift and Looming"Sometimes they lurch, sometimes they bop. But George Guida's New York poems never stop moving, never give up the restless, relentless pace that is the city. Even when they find a bench, a lover to sing or talk to, the frenetic undertow is ever-present, the heart humming a love song under the bridge, the current taking it uptown and down, and crosstown, where the poet hangs with those whose lives may be lonely, too.Boro by boro, he takes us to places he loved but now is disappointed in. 'Brooklyn has lost its strut, ' he says. But this is still a place for the brokenhearted- 'I don't believe in love/I've tasted it in overnight hot bagels.' Guida makes the city complicit in these betrayals: '...to hang from a white stone ledge by fingernails/above the scene we want to call home.' Still, she's the backdrop he details with great affection, that makes heartache bearable, after all."-Mervyn Taylor, author of No Back Door and The Waving Gallery

Number of Pages: 288Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: EuropeanSeries Title: City Lights Pocket PoetsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: City Lights BooksAge Range: AdultBook theme: Spanish & PortugueseAuthor: Julio CortázarLanguage: English About the Book Newly expanded edition of a classic: the first and only collection of Cortázar's poetry to appear in English. Book Synopsis One of Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2016Cortázar's verse is more traditional than his fiction, but his style and themes are in harmony across genres: eccentric, mystical, full of animals but deeply human. Cortázar is a people's poet, accessible from every angle, and his position as a titan of the Latin American boom is indisputable.--Publishers Weekly, starred reviewWorld renowned as one of the masters of modern fiction, Julio Cortázar was also a prolific poet. While living in Paris during the last months of his life, Cortázar assembled his life's work in verse for publication, and Save Twilight selects the best of that volume, making his poems available in English for the very first time.This expanded edition, with nearly one hundred new pages of poems, prose and illustrations, is a book to be savored by both the familiar reader and the newcomer to Cortázar work. Ranging from the intimate to the political, tenderness to anger, heartbreak to awe, in styles both traditionally formal and free, Cortázar the poet and subverter of genres is revealed as a versatile and passionate virtuoso. More than a collection of poems, this book is a playful and revealing self-portrait of a writer in love with language in all its forms.Praise for Save Twilight: With this expanded edition of Save Twilight, Stephen Kessler continues his project, begun in the 1980s, of translating poetry by Julio Cortázar. Widely known for his fiction, especially Hopscotch, a seminal work of the Latin American Boom, Cortázar was also a compelling poet. Kessler has found just the right turns of phrase in English to capture the Argentine's deeply moving writing and exceptionally emotive language. What a gift this collection is for English-speaking readers.--Edith Grossman, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for TranslationSome people run the world, others are the world. Cortázar's poems are the world; they have a special consideration for the unknown.--Enrique Vila-Matas, author of The Illogic of KasselWhat a pleasure, this walk in a well-orchestrated park with shades as complex, as light & as dark, as multifoliate as the actual world! This book--the 'poetic ecology' Cortázar had envisioned--is an open invitation to make yourselves at home twixt sea and loss, wine & sorrow, birth & riptide, tobacco & talk, laughter & death. Nothing human is foreign to the poet-- & he brings it home with great clarity & grace. The writing & the book embody a tradition of hospitality, or as Cortázar puts it: 'Hello little black book for the late hours, cats on the prowl under a paper moon.' The injunction to save twilight stands as title--it is also exactly what the writing accomplishes. Stephen Kessler's elegant, accurate, and sometimes felicitously osé translations do these poems more than justice.--Pierre Joris, author of Barzakh (Poems 2000-2012)For those who have enjoyed Cortázar's fiction, among the most seminal and compelling of our time, here now are his wonderful poems. And for those who don't know Cortázar from a cat, it's a chance to visit his crepuscular world in all its multiple layers. A tender, experimental, humorous, meditative, jazzy, heart-breaking collection to be relished and savored slowly.--Ariel Dorfman, author of Feeding on Dreams: Confessions of an Unrepentant ExileJulio Cortázar was born in Brussels in 1914 of Argentinian parents, raised in Argentina, and spent his most productive years in Paris, where he died in 1984. Review Quotes Argentine writer and translator Cortázar (1914-1984), best known for his inventive fiction, beguiles in this expanded bilingual second edition of his poems. Cortázar, espousing the notion that 'poetry and prose reciprocally empower each other, ' constructs hybrid 'prosems' or 'peoms' that contend with love and loss, nationalistic ambivalence, literary theory, and memory. Something of a lovable crank, he declares listening to headphones 'stupid and alienating' and a 'psychological prison' in a lyrical essay ostensibly in favor of them, and heaps inexplicable scorn on knitters and Notre Dame Cathedral. Cortázar pithily laments his own squareness--'I accept this destiny of ironed shirts'--and the aging process, during which time is 'a truckload of rocks/ dumped on your back, puking/ its insufferable weight.' A political expatriate to Paris, Cortázar footnotes one poem praising Argentina with an ominous implication of state-sanctioned murder, while elsewhere he fondly recalls 'wisps of smoke/ gracefully streaming from the peanut vendors' carts' in the Plaza de Mayo. Cortázar's verse is more traditional than his fiction, but his style and themes are in harmony across genres: eccentric, mystical, full of animals but deeply human. Cortázar is a people's poet, accessible from every angle, and his position as a titan of the Latin American boom is indisputable.--Publishers Weekly, starred reviewWhen City Lights was preparing to publish the first edition of Julio Cortázar's poetry in English in 1997 (it's number fifty-three in the Pocket Poets series), [Lawrence] Ferlinghetti wanted to produce a lean volume. In doing so, he cut the essay 'For Listening Through Headphones, ' which Cortázar begins by mourning the 'pre-echo' on some records that mars 'the brief night of the ears as they get ready for the fresh irruption of sound.' It's funny that an essay that more than once uses the play of light and darkness to illuminate sound would be omitted from a book titled Save Twilight. But this month, City Lights is reissuing the volume, now heftier, thanks in part to the restoration of 'For Listening' (and other poems that were left out from the original). In addition to being mesmerizing and utterly gorgeous ('now the needle / runs through the former silence and focuses it / in a black plush ... a phosphene silence'), the essay links the experience of hearing music through headphones to poetry's innate intimacy: 'How not to think, then, that somehow poetry is a word heard through invisible headphones as soon as the poem begins to work its spell.'--Nicole Rudick, The Paris ReviewCortázar, an Argentine writer who worked mostly across the postwar years, is best known as a novelist. But his mind was, in certain ways, most purely a poet's, and this collection, beautifully translated by Stephen Kessler, shows the range of his talent. The edition--small and irresistible, the kind you want to pocket and read out on the grass somewhere--is bilingual, with Spanish on the left page and English on the right, and Kessler does us the favor of retaining some of Cortázar's weird, wandering little essays, including 'For Listening Through Headphones, ' his oblique study of poetic intimacy. In lyric, Cortázar works best in the second person; some of my favorite pieces are love poems. 'Everything I'd want from you / is finally so little / because finally it's everything, ' he writes. 'Let the pleasure we invent together / be one more sign of freedom.'--Nathan Heller, The New YorkerOriginally published in 1997, this new, plump little volume (which would only fit in the largest pocket of your cargo pants) is an excellent introduction to [Julio Cortázar's] poetry, which is as fascinating and compelling as anything he wrote. . . . Stephen Kessler's expanded edition of Save Twilight is a real gift; his translations are eminently readable and repay repeated readings: the poems will seem different each time. Cortázar is a poet of many styles and voices, and this selection has spurred me to revisit his poetry, and re-read some of his great novels, an experience that is greatly enriching. What more could one ask of poetry, pocket or otherwise?"--Rain Taxi"[A] timely showcase for a less widely appreciated facet of this important writer's work."--Ben Bollig, The Times Literary SupplementThese faithful old (and new) translations bring the poetic playfulness of this vitally important writer into engaging English life, and they promise to keep us looking into the vitrines of his poems so intently that we might well find ourselves looking back out from them, at blank faces, once familiarly our own and now estranged, looking quizzically back at us.--The Massachusetts ReviewMany poems and writings in this collection make it essential for any fans of Cortázar's fiction, and a few, such as 'To Be Read in the Interrogative, ' the most instantly arresting poem here, make it equally accessible to first-time Cortázar readers."--Literal MagazineCity Lights Books keeps current for reasons that could fill a book, including the fact that its editors have always had a special instinct for what needs to stay in print, what needs a hiatus, what should be reissued and when, and what should be acquired because it is irresistible and as good as its elders. Save Twilight: Selected Poems by Julio Cortázar is a collection of old and new translations by Stephen Kessler, and it fits right into the City Lights ethos. Kessler is a distinguished translator, and this bi-lingual edition does justice to the masterful Cortázar ... In praising Save Twilight, qualifiers like 'seem' are unnecessary, because what the book provides is enriching in the way it faces the past and illuminates the human interior."--The Rumpus"For me, a particular essay was the highlight of Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight. It's observant; intelligent; for the receptive reader, educational; and for the receptive poet-reader a guide for how one might live and write as a poet. ... Still, pleasure can be found in the verse.--Galatea Resurrects About the Author Julio Cortázar was born in Brussels in 1914 to Argentinian parents and raised in Argentina, where as a young man he worked as a secondary-school teacher, university professor, and professional translator. In 1951 he moved to Paris, where he earned his primary living as a translator for UNESCO. He is regarded internationally as a modern master of the short story and his novel Hopscotch is considered a seminal work of the Latin American fiction boom of the 1960s. Cortázar's other books in English include Blow-Up and Other Stories, 62: A Model Kit, The Winners, All Fires the Fire, A Manual for Manuel, Cronopios and Famas, A Change of Light, We Love Glenda So Much, A Certain Lucas, Unreasonable Hours, and Around the Day in Eighty Worlds. He died in Paris in 1984. Stephen Kessler is a poet, prose writer, translator, and editor. He is the author of ten books and chapbooks of original poetry, sixteen books of literary translation, and three collections of essays. His most recent books are Where Was I? (prose poems/memoirs), Need I Say More? (essays) and Forbidden Pleasures (new selected poems of Luis Cernuda, translation). He is also the author of a novel, The Mental Traveler, the editor and principal translator of The Sonnets by Jorge Luis Borges, and from 1999 through 2014 was the founder and editor of The Redwood Coast Review, four-time winner of the California Library Association's PR Excellence Award. His other awards include a Lambda Literary Award and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets for his previous translations of Luis Cernuda, Written in Water and Desolation of the Chimera.

Number of Pages: 176Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: AmericanFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Stanford University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Robinson Jeffers & Morley BaerLanguage: English About the Book The precipitous cliffs, rolling headlands, and rocky inlets of the Big Sur coast of California prompted Robinson Jeffers to extol their wild beauty throughout his long career as a poet. This extraordinary volume brings together Jeffers's haunting poetry with magnificent photographs of Big Sur by his friend and neighbor, famed photographer Morley Baer. Book Synopsis The precipitous cliffs, rolling headlands, and rocky inlets of the Big Sur coast of California were alive for Robinson Jeffers, and throughout his long career as a poet, he extolled their wild beauty. His vivid descriptions inspired the best work of other artists who lived nearby, including such noted photographers as Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and their younger contemporary Morley Baer. Before he died in 1995, Baer was planning a volume that would bring together a group of his landscape photographs of the Big Sur area with a selection of poems that expressed Jeffers's mystical experience of stone. Jeffers believed that stone is alive, perhaps even conscious in some way. Baer wanted to create a visual and literary meditation on the life-experience of stone. James Karman was invited by Baer to serve as his collaborator, and has brought the project to completion--more than 50 of Baer's photographs paired with poems by Jeffers (some complete, others excerpted). Stones of the Sur is in five parts, each of which takes its title from a poem. Part I, Tor House, contains photographs and poems about Jeffers's home, ever the locus of his inspiration. Part II, Continent's End, begins with a panoramic view of the coastline and is followed by visual and textual images that become progressively narrower in scope as Baer and Jeffers focus on the mountains, cliffs, beaches, boulders, rocks, and pebbles of the Big Sur. The inward progression continues in Part III, Oh Lovely Rock, where Baer trains his lens on close surfaces--revealing his sensibilities at their most abstract. From the middle of Part III on, the spiral is reversed and the view begins to open. Part IV, Credo, expands outwardly from the pebbles and rocks of the Big Sur back to the beaches, cliffs, and mountains. Part V, The Old Stone-Mason, concludes the book with a return to Tor House. From the Back Cover "An elegant coda to the remarkable series, with more than 50 stunning photographs."--San Francisco Chronicle"A master in his field. . . . [Baer's work] has the aura of excellence and his craft is above reproach."--Ansel Adams on Morley Baer Review Quotes Stones of the Sur is the culmination of Baer's last wish for a book project. Karman, his chosen collaborator, has fulfilled that ambition beautifully.--The Bloomsbury ReviewA master in his field. . . . [Baer's work] has the aura of excellence and his craft is above reproach.-- "Ansel Adams on Morley Baer"An elegant coda to the remarkable series, with more than 50 stunning photographs.--San Francisco ChronicleThis book combines poetry by Jeffers with California landscape photographs by Morley Baer. . . . This is a work of unusual sensitivity that blends two media with personal expressions of two artists of unique stature. Highly recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through professionals.--ChoiceThis extraordinary edition pairs Jeffers's poetry with fifty-two photographs by the poet's friend and neighbor, renowned photographer Morley Baer. . . . The photos stand on their own great merit as does the poetry. Together they create this sensitive, thundering, yet spiritual work.--The Book Club of California About the Author In addition to his own many books, Morley Baer contributed to a publication sponsored by the Sierra Club and guided by Ansel Adams: Not Man Apart, which combined lines from Jeffers's poetry with photographs of the Big Sur coast by Adams, Weston, Eliot Porter, and others. James Karman is Professor of English and Coordinator of the Humanities Program at California State University, Chico. He is the author of Robinson Jeffers: Poet of California and the editor of Critical Essays on Robinson Jeffers and Of Una Jeffers.

Number of Pages: 146Genre: PoetrySub-Genre: GeneralFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Marllus LustosaAge Range: AdultAuthor: Marllus LustosaLanguage: Portuguese Book Synopsis O que é aprendizado, criatividade e inteligência? Robôs podem produzir arte? Uma Inteligência Artificial (IA) pode realmente ser criativa, transmitir emoção, utilizando-se, para isso, de uma determinada ferramenta transmitidora de linguagem? Pode a IA chegar a um estágio de Ser-para-si? Essas foram as perguntas iniciais que permitiram ao autor impulsionar a construção deste livro - um tanto quanto ousado. Durante algum tempo, a maior parte do uso da chamada Inteligência Artificial ocorreu nos meios acadêmicos, através de pesquisadores ligados à área da Ciência da Computação. Hoje, de novas receitas gastronômicas à geração de rostos realísticos que não existem, a IA - sem dúvidas - já começa a cair no nicho do que se pode chamar de "uso geral". Este livro parte da busca criativa do artista Marllus Lustosa (@ganartedigital) na integração entre Arte Generativa, conceitos sobre o acaso - formulados por Stéphane Mallarmé -, e a Ciberliteratura. A primeira, mantendo os algoritmos - ou as bases fundadoras do funcionamento de qualquer IA - como mola propulsora para geração de arte; a segunda, na reafirmação de uma estética de possibilidade infinitas, retiradas do acaso; e a última, amplificando o experimentalismo literário e inventivo da Poesia Experimental Portuguesa (PO.EX), para a geração automática de poemas. O resultado dessa combinação permitiu a ele compor uma obra que condensa, em objeto real, a problemática sobre como os processos algorítmicos são explorados enquanto ferramentas de criação de arte, invenção de linguagem e exploração do acaso. Este livro, portanto, apresenta uma amostra de 132 poemas, escolhida de um total de 100 mil, gerados por uma Inteligência Artificial. Os modelos de aprendizado utilizados para compor os estilos de escrita foram treinados a partir de diversos autores brasileiros e estrangeiros, compreendendo os intervalos de tempo poéticos que vão desde o estilo medieval à contemporaneidade. O resultado é um mix de escrita criativa, que tenta unir diversos estilos literários em cada poema, ao mesmo tempo em que dá origem a um estilo único, onde a união - e por que não o acaso? - dos conceitos é justamente a base para esta criação.
