Dante, a master of innovation, wrote his poem in the vernacular, rather than in literary Latin. Bang has similarly created an idiomatically rich contemporary version that is accessible, musical, and audacious. She's matched Dante's own liberal use of allusion and literary borrowing by incorporating literary and cultural references familiar to contemporary readers: Shakespeare and Dickinson, Freud and South Park, Kierkegaard and Stephen Colbert. The Inferno--the allegorical story of a spiritual quest that begins in a dark forest, traverses Hell's nine circles, and ends at the hopeful edge of purgatory--was also an indictment of religious hypocrisy and political corruption. In its time, the poem was stunningly new. Bang's version is true to the original: lyrical, politically astute, occasionally self-mocking, and deeply moving. With haunting illustrations by Henrik Drescher, this is the most readable Inferno available in English, a truly remarkable achievement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.08w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555976545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDante Alighieri\u003c\/b\u003e (c.1265-1321) is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e, a masterpiece of world literature. \u003cb\u003eMary Jo Bang\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eElegy\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. \u003cb\u003eHenrik Drescher \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning illustrator, author, and fine artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Dante Alighieri \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47285189542045,"sku":"9781555976545","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_fd67bde2-8f17-45fd-bb84-574eecdab8f9.jpg?v=1760001712"},{"product_id":"selected-poems-of-rainer-marie-rilke-9780060907273","title":"Selected Poems of Rainer Marie Rilke","description":"For poetry lovers and students of literature and literary criticism, Robert Bly, the National Book Award-winning poet, brings his prowess as a translator and critic to bear on the work of one of the major German poets of the century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rainer Maria Rilke,Robert Bly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.13w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060907273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRilke, Rainer Maria:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eOne of the most widely read modern poets, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) first became known and respected with the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Hours\u003c\/em\u003e, when he was in his twenties.

His early poetry falls into the tradition of love poetry that passed from the Provencal to such Italian poets as Guido Cavalcanti, Dante's friend and mentor. Dante's first major work is the Vita Nuova, 1293-1294. This sequence of lyrics, sonnets, and prose narrative describes his love, first earthly, then spiritual, for Beatrice, whom he had first seen as a child of nine, and who had died when Dante was 25. Dante married about 1285, served Florence in battle, and rose to a position of leadership in the bitter factional politics of the city-state. As one of the city's magistrates, he found it necessary to banish leaders of the so-called \"Black\" faction, and his friend Cavalcanti, who like Dante was a prominent \"White.\" But after the Blacks seized control of Florence in 1301, Dante himself was tried in absentia and was banished from the city on pain of death. He never returned to Florence. We know little about Dante's life in exile. Legend has it that he studied at Paris, but if so, he returned to Italy, for his last years were spent in Verona and Ravenna. In exile he wrote his Convivio, kind of poetic compendium of medieval philosophy, as well as a political treatise, Monarchia. He began his Comedy (later to be called the Divine Comedy) around 1307-1308. On a diplomatic mission to Venice in 1321, Dante fell ill, and returned to Ravenna, where he died. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllen Mendelbaum's\u003c\/b\u003e five verse volumes are: \u003ci\u003eChelmaxions\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Savantasse of Montparnasse\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eJourneyman\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Absence\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eA Lied of Letterpress\u003c\/i\u003e.

It evokes sorrow, though never without the faint shimmer of hope, and reveals a fragile vulnerability beneath its harsh, disciplined language.\u003cbr\u003eThe first section contemplates the many facets of human experience, touching upon love, beauty, hope, triumph and defeat, dream and imagination. The second part ventures into the depths of existential complexity, exploring the poet's inner life-his struggle with language and the creative act itself and it turns toward the darker contours of being, confronting themes of survival, victimization, suicide, and death.\u003cbr\u003eGuiding the reader through an emotional and meditative journey, the work unveils profound truths with both restraint and intensity. Vivid imagery and visionary language draw us into intimate and unsettling inner landscapes. Its apocalyptic tones and intense invocations generate a charged tension where unease, solitude, and the yearning for freedom intertwine.\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the poem Creativity, which forms its thematic and stylistic nucleus, Reflections of Ink is born of an intense, troubled interior experience. Within the seclusion of writing, the poet wrestles with the ceaseless current of thought. In the silence of creative solitude, disorder becomes art: moments of lucidity alternate with confusion as emotions and reflections take shape in words, and words become fragments of a restless search for meaning.\u003cbr\u003eLife itself may be seen as an inner pilgrimage, and poetry as its privileged vessel of revelation. The reader is invited to journey alongside the author through nineteen compositions, each charged with raw emotion: sighs and tremors, layers of shadow, muffled cries, tears, and nostalgia.
