Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Poetry. Frank Stanford was called by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Alan Dugan a brilliant poet, ample in his work, like Whitman. He was the founder of Lost Roads Publishers and the author of a number of important works, among them the epic THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE THE MOON SAYS I LOVE YOU, reprinted by Lost Roads under the editorship of Forrest Gander and C.D. Wright. Frank Stanford said his purpose in his writing and with his press was to 'reclaim the landscape of American poetry' - The Arkansas Times. Stanford ended his own life in 1978 when he was 29. The reprinting of this major book is a truly important, much anticipated literary event.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "The big event in poetry for 2015 will likely be the long-awaited resurrection of Frank Stanford."--NPR.org National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist "What About This. introduces to a broader audience an important and original American poet -- sensitive, death-haunted, surreal, carnal, dirt-flecked and deeply Southern -- whose promise, only partly fulfilled, it hurts to contemplate. His poems flick on a heretofore unnoticed porch light in your mind."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times * "Stanford fearlessly explored the terror and wonder of the mind and the physical world."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Highly recommended work from an American original."--Library Journal, starred review "What About This marks a rare moment, when a critical and completely original American voice is recovered after decades and takes its rightful place in the canon.Now that the work is finally available, the real risk is that Stanford''s poetic legacy will play second fiddle to the myth of his life and death. The beautiful young suicide is a hard narrative to shake.What About This offers the fullness of both the work and the image, and leaves it to readers to decide what they will value most."--Jay Deshpande, The New Republic "This vibrant volume forms a comprehensive selection from his huge output, and includes published and unpublished poetry and prose, archival photographs, original manuscripts, a rejection letter, an interview, and excerpts from the ''ungovernable'' fifteen-thousand-line epic poem, ''The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You''.Stanford''s poems are by turns earthly and visionary."--The New Yorker "The big event in poetry for 2015 will likely be the long-awaited resurrection of Frank Stanford, a legendary badass from Arkansas, much of whose poetry has been unavailable since his suicide at the age of 29 in 1978. Stanford was a hell of a metaphor-maker and simile-slinger, and could cast a spell of extreme intensity with a flick of his wrist."--NPR.org "The book [What About This], layered with north Delta dialect and superstition, departs again and again on dream-like thought sequences in which unpredictable imagery continually startles the imagination and overwhelms it with visceral beauty."--Matthew Henricksen, Arkansas Times "Frank Stanford''s What About This is a monumental achievement. So much of Stanford''s work was unpublished, scattered about in limited-edition, hard-to-find volumes, but now it has been collected and readers will rejoice to discover (or rediscover) a distinct poetic voice. He was a voracious reader and was heavily influenced by Thomas Merton and French writers. He loved the Surrealists and Rimbaud, Mallarme, Follain and the French filmmakers Cocteau and Buñuel. His poetry is wildly imagistic, imbued with Southern folklore and culture, and it''s--to use Stanford''s own word--''strange.''"--Tom Lavoie, Shelf Awareness "Stanford was a teenage prodigy out of Arkansas bleeding beautiful streams of Faulkner-like fever dream that has survived mostly in out-of-print chapbooks passed hand-to-hand. Now a monster compilation, ''What About This: Collected Poems of Frank Stanford,'' has assembled more than 700 pages of poetry and a little prose like a moon-spattered Bible."--Dean Kuipers, Los Angeles Times "The work of poet Frank Stanford, whose turbulent life ended in suicide, is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance."--Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times "I don''t believe in tame poetry. . . . Poetry busts guts."--Frank Stanford As Dean Young writes in the Foreword to the book: "Many of these poems seem as if they were written with a burnt stick. With blood in river mud. Frank Stanford, demonically prolific, approaches the poem not as an exercise of rhetoric or a puzzle of signifiers but as a man ''looking for his own tongue'' in a knife-fight with a ghost.". …

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. encontré a la muerte y al amor colgados como perros en mi huerto no tenía ni escoba ni agua fría sólo un arado y un pony ambos brillaban como un espejo de doble o nada así que les dije fuera de mis siembras lo que realmente quise decir fue qué quieren encontré a la muerte y al amor en mi huerto lecciones en el paraíso ?Joven arriero?, de Frank Stanford Frank Stanford fue un prolífico poeta estadounidense conocido por su originalidad, imaginería cargada de sensualidad y cruda seriedad emocional. Creció en los estados de Mississippi, Tennessee y luego en Arkansas, donde vivió la mayor parte de su vida y escribió su poesía. Fue autor de varios chapbooks publicados por Mill Mountain Press: The Singing Knives (1971), Shade (1973), Ladies from Hell (1974), Field Talk (1975) y Arkansas Bench Stone (1975); los cuatro últimos de ellos incluyeron diseños de su segunda esposa, la artista Ginny Stanford (nacida Virginia Crouch). Durante la década del setenta, Frank se ganó la vida trabajando como agrimensor sin licencia. A principios de 1976, Frank Stanford y la poeta C. D. Wright establecieron el sello independiente Lost Roads Publishers para dar a conocer la poesía de jóvenes talentosos norteamericanos sin acceso inmediato a la publicación. Ese año, Irving Broughton publicó Constant Stranger (Mill Mountain, 1976), otro pequeño libro de Stanford, al cual le seguiría la obra magna The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You (Mill Mountain/Lost Roads, 1977), no encuadernado y distribuido hasta después de la muerte de Stanford, y el póstumo Crib Death (Ironwood Press, 1978). Frank Stanford se suicidó en Fayetteville (Arkansas), el 3 de junio de 1978, a los veintinueve años. La edición que hoy presentamos es la primera traducción que se hace al español de un libro de Stanford. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
