Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sean O'Brien's new collection The Beautiful Librarians is, appropriately, a stock-taking of sorts: throughout, O'Brien invokes those unsung figures in our culture overlooked by both capital and official accounts, from infantrymen and wrestlers to old crooners in the hotel bar. But none are more heroic than the librarians of the title, those silent and silencing guardians of literature and knowledge who - the poet reminds us - also had lives of their own to be celebrated. Elsewhere, we find a twelve-bar blues sung by Ovid, a hymn to a grey rose, a writing course from hell, and a very French exercise in waiting, all of which serve to demonstrate O'Brien's increasingly Audenesque range of form and theme. The Beautiful Librarians is a book of dramatic variety, in which every poem opens on a wholly different room, vista or landscape - each is drawn with the poet's increasingly refined sense of tone, history and rhetorical assurance, without any sacrifice of either lyric force or feeling. 64 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Empire's Crossroads, Carrie Gibson offers readers a vivid, authoritative and action-packed history of the Caribbean. For Gibson, everything was created in the West Indies: the Europe of today, its financial foundations founded with sugar money; the factories and mills built on the work of slaves thousands of miles away; the idea of true equality as espoused in Saint-Domingue in the 1790s; the slow progress to independence; and even globalization and migration, with the ships passing to and fro taking people and goods in all possible directions, hundreds of years before the term 'globalization' was coined.
