Second Best Moments In Chinese History
Language: English
Published by Carcanet Press Ltd, GB, 1997
ISBN 10: 1857543106 ISBN 13: 9781857543100
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. The 501 quatrains of Second Best Moments in Chinese History make it seem at first like a repackaged version of Frank Kuppner's celebrated first collection A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty (1984). But it isn't: 'Please note that this is a completely different work, although it is formally identical and very similar in its preoccupations.' Its tone is different -- something to do with maturity and cadencing, which make the laughter and heartbreak more intense, more political. 'Basically,' he confides, 'it is an attempt to get it completely right this time.'.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Comic, cosmic: for Kuppner the terms are inseparable. In the three plaited sections of The Same Life Twice, Frank Kuppner asks the essential, answerless questions about human existence: What are we doing here? Is it really here? And why here? 'Fortunately,' he writes, 'it is nearly alwayspossible to take notes, even if these habitually contradict each other.' Here are Kuppner's fieldnotes from life in an unfathomable universe. A sardonic Virgil showing us a directionless Infinity, Kuppner guides us through a reality inwhich we are just 'one more of the ignorant infinite dots / rather than the vast central vortex we must feel ourselves to be'.

A God's Breakfast

ISBN 10: 1857547446 ISBN 13: 9781857547443
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Frank Kuppner's seventh Carcanet collection, consisting of three books in one, asks the big questions: What is reality a commentary on? Why does non-existence have such a huge opinion of itself? Why don't the eternal silences of space shut up and give us a break? The Uninvited Guest pieces together the odd lacunae and annotations in a manuscript collection of profound and bawdy classical epigrams. In West land Kuppner considers the legacy of the great twentieth-century poet Mr Testoil, and What Else is There? offers a dazzling collection of poignant and inventive reflections on living on a bluish dot in the universe. Kuppner's explorations of the unreliability of evidence reveal the strangeness of the familiar world.

Not a Moment Too Soon
Language: English
Published by Carcanet Press Ltd, GB, 2024
ISBN 10: 1800173989 ISBN 13: 9781800173989
Paperback. Condition: New. Frank Kuppner's new (eleventh) book consists of three long, hilarious, philosophical, existential sequences, 'The Liberating Vertigo of a Final Passage of Meaning', 'Not Quite the Greatest Story Never Told' and 'Not Quite a False Fresh Start Either'. Those 'not quites' are a keynote - what might have been and what actually is, the gap between being the space of the poem, its ironies, humour and wry heartbreak. The poems in the sequences are short, reminding us of his first book, A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty, where short 'orientalising' forms were first perfected. 216 poems through the second sequence, he interrupts himself with, '[I have almost said enough.]' But that's just short of the half of it.'Points weaved together / to make myself' - these are the points of each poem, haiku or tanka or something else, the weave being uneven and richly suggestive. Words fill out unexpectedly, the ubiquitous Stars become Sta[i]rs. His subject matter is what lies beyond the window of his rented rooms. The world is an erotic and philosophical minefield. He is rather too fitful and feverish to relish it for what it is, what it might be or even what it might have been.
