Carole Satyamurti je britská básnířka, jejíž dílo se ponořuje do hlubin lidské psychiky a zkoumá, jak si vyprávíme příběhy o sobě samých. Její poezie propojuje sociologické a psychoanalytické vhledy a odhaluje složité vazby mezi osobními narativy a každodenními zážitky. Prostřednictvím svého psaní a výuky nabízí Satyamurti pronikavý pohled na lidskou zkušenost a hledá spojení mezi introspekcí a světem kolem nás.
Final collection - published posthumously - by one of Britain's most respected poets. Carole Satyamurti was preparing these poems for publication at the time of her death, and left the manuscript in an advanced state of readiness. Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
About Carole Satyamurti’s translation “Carole Satyamurti’s version of the Mahabharata moves swiftly and powerfully. She has found a voice that’s capable of a wide variety of expression, and a line―basically classical English blank verse with a jazz-like freedom to swing―that propels the reader effortlessly onward through the cosmic, terrifying, erotic, sublime events of this extraordinary work. I think I shall never get tired of it.” ―PHILIP PULLMAN, author of The Golden Compass
This is a new selection replacing Satyamurti's OUP Selected Poems.
Love can be intensely joyful, but it is rarely straightforward. In this collection, Carole Satyamurti describes the 'stations of love', of its delight and its obsession, as well as its pain and absurdity.
