Produktinformation
Rhina P. Espaillat's And after All meditates on the passage of time. The perspective sweeps from the panorama of foreign landmarks to the close view of a lover's feet in failing health, held and cared for. And after All displays the wit, wisdom, subtle voice, and supple mastery of forms that have established Espaillat as a contemporary master. This long-awaited collection from Espaillat is a treat not to be missed. PRAISE FOR AND AFTER ALL Rhina P. Espaillat's And After All combines the formal fluency of Richard Wilbur, the precision of Elizabeth Bishop, and the easy conversational tones of Frank O'Hara, and yet her poems speak in a voice that is distinctively her own. They address the loss of loved ones and loved things of the world, but their extraordinary empathy and gentle wit keep them from becoming depressing or sentimental. Savor this book and share it with people you love. -A. M. Juster, author of Sleaze & Slander: New and Selected Comic Verse, 1995-2015 Rhina P. Espaillat, more than any living poet in English, gives ordinary language the glow of the sacred. Workaday words, trite with custom like thin coins, accrue new resonance and weight; plain objects are haloed with aureoles like figures in gold mosaics. Saints with their visions used to do this: wave away the veils that separate our shallow perceptions from a deeper reality. But not everyone is granted visions. How much harder it is to use the same words we all use and misuse, the same objects we all touch and ignore, common experiences we dismiss, and, by using words with precision, using the serendipity of rhyme, and the convention of metrical patterns, to give the reader the experience of revelation. Craft is not the opposite of inspiration, Espaillat reminds us, it is the only way to it. -A. E. Stallings, author of Olives For most of its poems And After All is, as the title indicates, deeply elegiac in tone. There are many poignant evocations of the past in the book, rich with quotidian surface detail but always suffused with undemonstrative but palpably real emotion. A poem about the poet's grandmother, a tough no-nonsense farmer's wife who described how cows inarticulately but unmistakably grieved when they realized their calves were to be slaughtered, ends with the line, "She told it simply, but she faltered there." In its quiet pathos the line seems to sum up much of the book; exactness, no fuss, unforced fidelity to the anecdote, but the tremor of poignant empathy always present. A very eloquent collection of beautifully crafted poems, and one that it is hard to read dry-eyed. -Dick Davis, author of Love in Another Language ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rhina P. Espaillat has published ten full-length books and three chapbooks, comprising poetry, essays, and short stories, in both English and her native Spanish, and translations from and into both languages. Her national and international awards include the T. S. Eliot Prize in Poetry, the Richard Wilbur Award, the Howard Nemerov Prize, the May Sarton Award, the Robert Frost "Tree at My Window" Prize for translation, several honors from the New England Poetry Club, the Poetry Society of America, the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from Salem State College. She is a frequent reader, speaker, and workshop leader, and is active with the Powow River Poets, a literary group she cofounded in 1992.

- a***p (3092)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéItem as listed, new and sealed in cardboard cd envelope, great price , only let down by dispatch time. on listing said 30 days but in the post details it also stated 3 day courier, when I contacted seller to clarify they said it would be 20 sept and they would dispatch it,2 weeks after ordering and changed the 3 day courier in the listing. It only had to travel 60 mile!. It finally arrived this morning with a Royal Mail 48 hour post label, so took a month to finally dispatch
- _***n (572)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI ordered 3 books from this seller, of which this was by far the most expensive. It was exactly as described, and arrived in pristine condition and on the delivery schedule they notified me of. The other two books were unfortunately lost in the mail, and when I contacted the seller about this, they refunded me without any problems. So when things go to plan, they are great, and when things don't go to plan they are great as well. I absolutely love the book I did get, so Thank You for that!
- e***e (1045)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéI went to loveourprices2, because this film was unobtainable or seriously expensive with other (more famous!) dealers. Here it was exactly what I wanted, plus being pristine and new, as described. It took a little while to arrive, as it was clearly coming thru to the company from the States, but it was well worth the wait. It also arrived nicely and safely wrapped. And the company informed me when the disc was ready for dispatch. Very good, professional, service. Top marks. Thanks.Hondo [Blu-ray] [Region Free] - DVD - New (n°375899048679)
