Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A dazzling blend of intellectualism and eroticism, this poetry collection employs sumptuous, sensory language to explore a wide range of subjects--including a blood-drinking Tibetan deity, lemons in Robert Graves' garden, and an East London strip club. By boldly traversing the boundary between the erotic and the sexual, these love poems are both passionate and strikingly original.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This carefully organized sequence of 88 lyrics is a diary of a summer spent in Tuscany--part of the time spent with the Italian actress Eleanora Duse. The poems evoke specific times and places and they conjure up emotions, memories, and myths associated with each place. Beginning in early summer, they move through the seasons, changing in verse form and mood, and always reflecting the sensuous qualities of language.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Based on encounters, observations, and gleanings while traveling the world, this collection of Joachim Sartorius' eclectic and esoteric verse ranges in topic from the yellow cabs of Lagos and the horseshoes on Hitler's favorite steed to North African guards loading bottles of butane onto a trolley outside a crematorium. Poignant and timely, these poems speak to a global community, revealing how cultural divides can be bridged.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This 'tour de force' by a master of experimental novels finds the author reflecting on her old age and its effects on her writing. As she reflects on her own career, her experiments with narrative, and on the narrative she writes here, she ultimately reasserts herself and accepts the life behind her.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The work of an original, haunting, and experimental modernist poet is made available again for the first time in 50 years in this volume. Lynette Roberts is principally a war poet, in that her two published collections take as their subject a woman's life in wartime. A late modernist, she works on two scales at the same time: the mythic and the domestic. As a Welsh writer, her best work stands alongside that of her near-contemporaries, David Jones, R.S. Thomas and Dylan Thomas. As a woman poet, her work bears comparison with that of both Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes.
