Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. P#8220;Pussy Riot are VvedenskyP#39;s disciples and his heirs. Plt;brPgt; Katya, Masha, and I are in jail but I donP#8217;t consider that weP#8217;ve been defeated. According to the official report, Alexander Vvedensky died on December 20, 1941. We donP#8217;t know the cause, whether it was…dysentery in the train after his arrest or a bullet from a guard. It was somewhere on the railway line between Voronezh and Kazan. His principle of P#8216;bad rhythmP#8217; is our own. He wrote: P#8216;It happens that two rhythms will come into your head, a good one and a bad one and I choose the bad one. It will be the right one.P#8217; . It is believed that the OBERIU dissidents are dead, but they live on. They are persecuted but they do not die.P#8221;Plt;brPgt; P#8212; Pussy Riot Nadezhda TolokonnikovaP#8217;s closing statement at their Plt;brPgt;trial in August 2012 Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;P#8220;I raise d my hand against concepts,P#8221; wrote Alexander Vvedensky, P#8220;I enacted a poetic critique of reason.P#8221; This weirdly and wonderfully philosophical poet was born in 1904, grew up in the midst of war and revolution, and reached his artistic maturity as Stalin was twisting the meaning of words in grotesque and lethal ways. VvedenskyP#8212;with Daniil Kharms the major figure in the shortP#8211;lived underground avant-garde group OBERIU (a neologism for P#8220;the union for real artP#8221;)P#8212;responded with a poetry that explodes stable meaning into shimmering streams of provocation and invention. A Vvedensky poem is like a crazy party full of theater, film, magic tricks, jugglery, and feasting. Curious characters appear and disappear, euphoria keeps company with despair, outrageous assertions lead to epic shouting matches, and perhaps it all breaks off with one lonely person singing a song.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;A Vvedensky poem doesnP#8217;t make a statement. It is an event. VvedenskyP#8217;s poetry was unpublishable during his lifetimeP#8212;he made a living as a writer for children before dying under arrest in 1942P#8212;and he remains the least known of the great twentieth-century Russian poets. This is his first book to appear in English. The translations by Eugene Ostashevsky and Matvei Yankelevich, outstanding poets in their own right, are as astonishingly alert and alive as the originals.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;This English-only edition does not include the poems in their original language. An Invitation for Me to Think is Vvedensky's first collection to appear in English and includes the now celebrated poetry of the 1930s in prizewinning translations by America's foremost OBERIU specialists.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An original collection from one of the most active poets in contemporary literature.Plt;bPgt;An original collection from one of the most active poets in contemporary literature.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Winner of the 2019 International Poetry Prize from the City of MP#252;nsterPlt;/bPgt;Plt;iPgt;P…lt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;The Pirate Who Does Not Know the Value of PiPlt;/iPgt; is a poem-novel about the relationship between a pirate and a parrot who, after capturing a certain quantity of prizes, are shipwrecked on a deserted island, where they proceed to discuss whether they would have been able to communicate with people indigenous to the island, had there been any. Characterized by multilingual punning, humor puerile and set-theoretical, philosophical irony and narrative handicaps, Eugene OstashevskyP#8217;s new large-scale project draws on sources as various as early modern texts about pirates and animal intelligence, old-school hip-hop, and game theory to pursue the themes of emigration, incomprehension, untranslatability, and the otherness of others. A poem-novel about the relationship between a pirate and a parrot who, after capturing a certain quantity of prizes, are shipwrecked on a deserted island, where they proceed to discuss whether they would have been able to make themselves understood by people indigenous to the island, had there been any.

Paperback. Condition: New. The Feeling Sonnets are written in an English that is translingual not only because it engages other languages but also because it reflects upon itself in uncertainty as if it were the work of a language learner. Words, idioms, sentences, poetic conventions are made strange, dislocated, recontextualise…d to convey some of the linguistic effects of the migration experience, the experience of non-nativeness. The book includes four cycles of fourteen unrhymed, unmetered, logically Petrarchan sonnets. The first cycle asks about the relationship between interpretation and emotion: whether 'we feel the feelings that we call ours'. The second, mainly composed of 'daughter sonnets', describes bringing up children in a foreign language. The third, 'Die Schreibblockade', German for writer's block, talks about foreign-language processing of inherited historical trauma. The fourth cycle is about translation. A libretto commissioned by Italian composer Lucia Ronchetti follows, about Ravel's interaction with Paul Wittgenstein over the Piano Concerto for the Left Hand.Gwyneth Lewis writes, 'Eugene Ostashevsky is a multilingual language explorer. His The Feeling Sonnets are an exhilarating and witty enquiry into the designs that language has on us as intellectual, domestic and historical beings. This is poetry as punning philosophy, both entertaining and deeply serious. This book is a tour de force, turning languages' spotlights onto speech itself. Yet again, Carcanet is publishing important poetry.'Born in Leningrad, Ostashevsky grew up in Brooklyn. He is now based in Berlin and New York. In his last full book of poetry, The Pirate Who Does Not Know the Value of Pi, published by NYRB Poets, discusses migration, translation, and second-language writing as practiced by pirates and parrots. His previous book, The Life and Opinions of DJ Spinoza, published by Ugly Duckling Presse in Brooklyn, examines the defects of natural and artificial languages.
