Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One doesn't have to be a literary scholar to deeply admire and enjoy Wilda Morris's 'Pequod Poems: Gamming with Moby Dick'-a brilliant compendium of literary insight, criticism, historical research, and especially her skillfully written poems. Among the many delights of the latter are reflections narrated by some of Melville's most unforgettable characters-Ishmael, Queequeg, Starbuck, and Ahab himself, of course-as well as by members of Melville's memorable supporting cast that includes Pip, Stubb, the Maltese sailor, and a salty host of others, along with confidences from Ahab's and Starbuck's distant wives. Morris also reveals her impressive mastery of poetic forms: the sonnet, the sestina, the rondeau, and-somewhat surprisingly, in this context-a wide range of newer, more obscure forms such as the Golden Shovel, the erasure poem, and the lipogram. Suffice to say that whether it's erudition you're seeking, or poetic virtuosity, or simply an imaginative retelling of a phenomenally good story, you'll find yourself rewarded by taking a close look at Wilda Morris's remarkable Pequod Poems.
