Paperback. Condición: New. The poems in Ales Steger's The Book of Bodies roam across personal experience, human history, and the natural world to unlock intellectual and emotional connections.Ales Steger's The Book of Bodies directly follows-and builds on and veers from-The Book of Things. The 50 poems in The Book of Things focus on such everyday objects as umbrellas, chairs, and candles, and in so doing illuminate the human condition, particularly its propensity for violence, deception, and forgetting. The 50 poems in The Book of Bodies manage to be simultaneously more and less restrictive: half the poems are prose poems (of five paragraphs each) that roam across personal experience, human history (individual and collective), and the natural world to unlock intellectual and emotional connections; the other half are narrow stanzaless poems that focus on a single word. These poems have a sinuous, almost vaporous quality on the page-lines so thin that they serve as a response to the prose that dominates the first half of the book. Both types of poems in The Book of Bodies are essential to Steger's understanding of the world."Esteemed American readers, Ales Steger is the real thing! He is the poet of inimitable gifts! He is one of the best Eastern European poets of his generation! It is the truth: Steger is a marvelous voice, one that takes some of the playfulness of his Yugoslavian compatriots Vasko Popa and Tomaz Salamun to the whole new level."- Ilya KaminskySlovenian writer Ales Steger has published eight books of poetry, three novels, and two books of essays. A Chevalier des Artes et Lettres in France and a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts, he received the 1998 Veronika Prize for the best Slovenian poetry book, the 1999 Petrarch Prize for young European authors, the 2007 Rozanc Award for the best Slovenian book of essays, and the 2016 International Bienek Prize. His work has been translated into over 15 languages, including Chinese, German, Czech, Croatian, Hungarian, and Spanish. Four of his books have been published in English: The Book of Things, which won the 2011 Best Translated Book Award; Berlin; the novel Absolution; and Above the Sky Beneath the Earth. He also has worked in the field of visual arts (most recently with a large scale installation at the International Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India), completed several collaborations with musicians (Godalika, Uros Rojko, Peter N. Gruber), and collaborated with Peter Zach on the film Beyond Boundaries.Brian Henry is the author of eleven books of poetry, most recently Permanent State. He co-edited the international magazine Verse from 1995 to 2018 and established the Tomaz Salamun Prize in 2015. His translation of Ales Steger's The Book of Things appeared from BOA Editions in 2010 and won the Best Translated Book Award. He also has translated Tomaz Salamun's Woods and Chalices (Harcourt, 2008), Ales Debeljak's Smugglers (BOA, 2015), and Ales Steger's Above the Sky Beneath the Earth (White Pine, 2019) and Berlin (.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Winner of the 2011 Best Translated Book of the YearAwardFrom his first book of poems, Chessboards of Hours (1995), Ales Steger hasbeen one of Slovenia's most promising poets. The philosophical and lyricalsophistication of his poems, along with his work as a leading book editor andfestival organizer, quickly spread Steger's reputation beyond the borders ofSlovenia. The Book of Things is Steger's most widely praised book of poetry andhis first American collection. The book consists of fifty poems that look at"things" (i.e. aspirin, chair, cork) which are transformed bySteger's unique poetic alchemy.Translator Brian Henry is a distinguished poet,translator, editor, and critic.From Publisher's Weekly:Steger's effortssometimes bring to mind such Western European figures as Francis Ponge andCraig Raine, who also sought to make household things look new and strange. YetSteger brings a melancholy Central European sense of history- his objects tendto remember, or cause, great pain: ?It pours, this poisonous, sweet force,"Steger writes of ?Saliva," ?Between teeth, when you spit your own littlegenocide." (Nov.)From Guernica, a Magazine of Art and Politics:It is a raretreat to have an English translation before the ink has dried on the original.By which I mean, a mere five years after the book's Slovenian publication,Brian Henry has brought these poems to life for those of us not lucky enough toread Slovenian. Henry's translations are impressive for sheer acrobatics. The first US edition of rising world-poetry star Ales Steger's most acclaimed book. The most prominent Slovenian poet of his generation.

Paperback. Condición: New. International. Ales Steger was born in 1973 in Ptuj, Slovenia - where he grew up - then part of the former Yugoslavia ruled by Tito, which gained its independence when he was 18. He published his first collection in 1995 at the age of 22, and was immediately recognised as a key voice in the new generation of post-Communist poets not only in Slovenia but throughout central Europe. Notable for its moral engagement, Steger's poetry is acutely precise in its observation and concentration as well as multi-layered and technically versatile, ingenious and inventive, adventurous and playful yet serious in intention. Above all, his poems are incessantly curious in their investigations which the reader is invited to share - and he loves to ambush the reader with the unexpected.His influences are mainly European, including the Serbian master poet Vasko Popa, as well as German and Spanish-language poets he has translated into Slovenian, such as Bachmann, Benn, Huchel, Neruda and Vallejo. He has added his own strand of writing to the distinctively European genre of prose poems in pieces which describe everyday objects in minute terms, only to explode in the imagination through what he perceives in them. He is also known for his prose books and experimental writing including his Written on Site pieces.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A selection of new and previously published poems from a key voice in the new generation of central European post-Communist poets.Ales Steger's poetry is multi-layered and technically versatile, ingenious and inventive, adventurous and playful yet serious in intention, and above all, incessantly curious in its investigations which the reader is invited to share and he loves to ambush the reader with the unexpected.Notable for its moral engagement, his poetry is acutely precise in its observation and concentration, and could also be described in very broad terms as surrealist. His influences are mainly European, most notably the Serbian master poet Vasko Popa and the French surrealist Francis Ponge, whose mantle he could be said to have taken on in prose poems which describe everyday objects in minute terms, only to explode in the imagination through what he perceives in them.
