Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In her debut English-language collection, contemporary Greek poet Dimitra Kotoula takes on contemporary Greek society in challenging lyrical forms. In The Slow Horizon that Breathes, a selection from her first three books, published between 2004-2022, Kotoula -- a poet born after the military Junta -- engages modern Greek struggles, including troubled relationships, the financial crisis, motherhood, and the act of writing. Translated by Maria Nazos in close collaboration with the author, and introduced by A.E. Stallings, this volume presents to English readers Kotoula's masterful transformation of private demons into a public resonance. \\ "Kotoula subtly and masterfully transforms private demons into a public resonance." --A.E. STALLINGS \\ "Writing in dialogue with the twentieth-century poets of ancient myth (George Seferis and Angelos Sikelianos among them), Dimitra Kotoula brings fresh language and a feminine touch to familiar themes." --KAREN VAN DYCK \\ "These are poems that shimmer as they transform tragic, ironic histories and alienating religious doctrines into lyrical lines of immediate physical and visceral intensity. Kotoula's voice embraces an autonomous selfhood based on the female bodily experience which like seasonal landscapes can be both breathtaking and discordant: 'I want you to feel this blue / color of loneliness and uncertainty / and nothing else / while the air and earth inflame / a sudden blooming.' Maria Nazos brings her mastery as poet and translator to render Kotoula's irrepressible spirit on the page. We can be grateful for this collaboration for turning the rubble of contemporary life into something beautiful and lasting." --DZVINIA ORLOWSKY \\ Women's Studies. Greek Studies. Poetry.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Hapax is ancient Greek for ""once, once only, once and for all,"" and ""onceness"" pervades this second book of poems by American expatriate poet A. E. Stallings. Opening with the jolt of ""Aftershocks,"" this book explores what does and does not survive its ""gone moment"" - childhood (""The Dollhouse""), ancient artifacts (""Implements from the Grave of the Poet""), a marriage's lost moments of happiness (""Lovejoy Street""). The poems also often compare the ancient world with the modern Greece where Stallings has lived for several years. Her musical lyrics cover a range of subjects from love and family to characters and themes derived from classical Greek sources (""Actaeon"" and ""Sisyphus""). Employing sonnets, couplets, blank verse, haiku, Sapphics, even a sequence of limericks, Stallings displays a seemingly effortless mastery of form. She makes these diverse forms seem new and relevant as modes for expressing intelligent thought as well as charged emotions and a sense of humor. The unique sensibility and linguistic freshness of her work has already marked her as an important, young poet coming into her own.…
