Azul
by Rubén DaríoEl poeta nicaragüense fue, sin duda alguna, uno de los poetas hispanoamericanos que más decididamente cambió el rumbo de las letras hispánicas. Publicó sus primeros versos a los once años, y a finales del siglo XIX, ya consagrado, publicó "Azul", obra con la que se inició «oficialmente» el Modernismo Hispanoamericano.
Azul binario: Poeamario
by Matilde García Pérez«Una remembranza para los que conocen al amor y un faro para los que esperan encontrarlo.» <P><P>Azul binario pretende compartir con sus lectores un trayecto de vida no solo inesperado sino también delicioso, que seguramente los afectará de maneras diversas, de acuerdo al momento de la vida en que la lectura los atrape: Los que ya abrazaron definitivamente al amor, podrán disfrutarlo al borde de cualquier momento, rememorando tal vez su propia experiencia. <P>Los que todavía lo buscan - o casi han desistido - podrán encontrar entre sus páginas una pequeña muestra de lo que les espera si no desesperan. Matilde García Pérez nos ofrece con Azul binario una nueva presentación. A lo largo de sus páginas se ve la frescura de una manifestación artística manufacturada por alguien que ha vivido intensamente y que habla de un tiempo impreciso, angustioso, exultante, alternativo, decoroso, pleno de amor. Cada poema la muestra como una prisionera de esos momentos, con escasa posibilidad de movilidad. En los escritos está plena de fugas, despojada de palabras inútiles, sin exageraciones ni alternancias, pero trabaja a sabiendas que puede traer unas palabras que nos conduzcan suavemente hacia un abismo probable, a veces desolador, otras ausentes, aunque siempre con la posibilidad de reconstruir un fantasma a punto de difuminarse. «Azul binario es como la insoportable necesidad de la autora de liquidar cuentas con su propio pasado, de obligarse a abandonar ese espacio y dejarlo encerrado en cada poema, como si fuera una cárcel pero con mayores comodidades. Ella vuelve y se retira de ese pasado, lo explora, lo regresa al ámbito privado, íntimo, para dejarlo como una bestia que ronda herida, desquiciada, al acecho. Y los espectadores somos sus lectores, que avizoramos ese resplandor lejano de la vida de Matilde.» Ricardo Bocos
Azure: Poems and Selections from the "Livre" (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Stéphane Mallarmé Robert Fernandez Blake Bronson-BartlettDuring his lifetime, Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) was recognized as one of the greatest living French poets. He wrote extensively on themes of reality and his desire to turn away from it, marrying form and content in revolutionary ways that departed drastically from the more tightly controlled French tradition. Despite his status as one of the first modernists, much of Mallarmé's radicalism has been lost in translation. Finally, in this new collection by Blake Bronson-Bartlett and Robert Fernandez, the magic and mastery of form and diction, so striking in Mallarmé's French verse, comes to life in English. Drawing from Poésies (1899), Un coup de dés (A Cast of Dice), and the "Livre" (the "Book"--the overarching conceptual work left unfinished at the death of the poet), this collection captures Mallarmé's true linguistic brilliance, bringing the poems into our current history while retaining the music, playfulness, and power of the originals.

Backwards Days
by Stuart DischellAnother set of antidotal lyrics and story-poems from Stuart Dischell <P> Sly, comic, inventive, and exuberant, the brokenhearted lyrics and dark parables of Backwards Days are cast in the spirit and craft Stuart Dischell's poetry is known for. In this, his fourth full-length collection, he revs up both music and experience and writes startling poems of emotional intensity that chronicle the restlessness of desire. Sometimes grim, ever buoyant and hopeful, even in the most sorrowful or macabre situations, the poems of Backwards Days are most particularly about the movement of time, physical movement, and the movement of the heart. Through landscapes both real and of the psyche, they live on the edge of an elusive understanding never quite gotten right.
Bad Chaucer: The Great Poet’s Greatest Mistakes in the Canterbury Tales
by Tison PughAcclaimed for centuries as the “Father of English Literature,” Geoffrey Chaucer enjoys widespread and effusive praise for his classic Canterbury Tales—and rightfully so. Still, even the greatest of authors cannot claim perfection, and so Bad Chaucer: The Great Poet’s Greatest Mistakes in the Canterbury Tales analyzes his various missteps, missed opportunities, and other blunders in this peerless masterpiece. From a vexing catalog of trees in the Knight’s Tale to the flirtations with blasphemy in the Parson’s Tale, this volume progresses through the Canterbury Tales story by story, tale by tale, pondering the most egregious failing of each in turn. Viewed collectively, Chaucer’s troubles stem from clashing genres that disrupt interpretive clarity, themeless themes that undermine any message a tale might convey, mischaracterized characters who act without clear motivation, purposeful and otherwise pleasureful badness that show Chaucer’s appreciation for the humor of bad literature, and outmoded perspectives that threaten to alienate modern readers. Badness is not always to be lamented but often celebrated, even cherished, for badness infuses artistic creations with the vitality that springs from varied responses, spirited engagements, and the inherent volatility of enjoying literature. On the whole, Bad Chaucer: The Great Poet’s Greatest Mistakes in the Canterbury Tales swerves literary criticism in a new direction by examining the provocative question, for too long overlooked, of what this great author got wrong.
