If There is Something to Desire: One Hundred Poems: Vera Pavlova,Steven Seymour: 9780375711893: Amaz

Book Description:

January 10, 2012
Now in paperback, the widely acclaimed collection of one hundred poems of extraordinarily elegant simplicity by one of the best-selling poets in Russia, whose presence on the American poetry scene is increasingly strong.
 
Pavlova writes about love (both sexual love and the love that reaches beyond sex); about motherhood; about the memories of childhood that continue to feed us; about our lives as passionate souls abroad in the world. Sensitively translated by her husband, Steven Seymour, Pavlova's poems are highly disciplined miniatures ("I broke your heart. / Now barefoot I tread / on shards"--a whole poem in ten words). Pavlova is a poet who storms our hearts with pure talent and a seemingly effortless gift for shaping poems.

Gertrude SteinGertrude Stein
Publication Date: August 15, 2000| ISBN-10: 0748611983 | ISBN-13: 978-0748611980 0 Gertrude Stein often called herself a genius, but what did this term really mean to her? This book examines the centrality and the specificity of the idea of "genius" to Stein's work and to the aesthetic ideals and contradictory intellectual affiliations of high modernism in general. Through a chronological reading, it maps Stein's move from an early investment in an essential notion of "genius" to her later use of the term to describe an anti-essentialist, democratic process. Drawing upon a wide range of li...
