Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Absent Therapist is a book of soundings, a jostle of voices that variously argue, remember, explain, justify, speculate and meander . . .

These are gripping narratives, with intriguing shifts of register, but they are also technically experimental and daring. Each sentence is weighed, poised. The intelligence with which Will Eaves handles language is modest and rare. The absent therapist is the listening reader to whom this compelling book is a fabulous gift.

Marjorie Ann Watts, the author of a series of books for children, brings to the ambiguities of adult relationships, and the fault-lines between generations, a rare and sharp-witted understanding of how the past remains forever embedded in the present' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In late 1914 Apollinaire swapped the high life of avant-garde Paris for the mud and desolation of war in the trenches. But his poems of this period are wholly different from those that for English readers have come to define the genre of war poetry: exploding shells are compared to champagne bottles, and juxtaposed with the orgy of destruction are nostalgia for antiquity, impatience for the future, melancholy and exuberance. The new translations in this bilingual edition comprise mostly poems written after 1914, but include Zone (in the first English version since Samuel Becketts to match the originals use of rhyme) and some other pre-war poems. A century later, they remain as daring and alive as when they were written. Prize-winning translations of the poetry of Apollinaire in a bilingual edition.
