The Pip Anthology Of World Poetry Of The 20th Century Linving Space Poems Of The Dutch Fiftiers

The 8th volume of the ongoing PIP series of world poetry anthologies.

The Echoing Green: Poems of Fields, Meadows, and Grasses is a unique anthology of poetry about the natural world. The rich poetic history of grass spans the centuries, from the pastoral poems of ancient Rome to the fields and prairies of the New World. The rapturous idealizations of William Blake’s “echoing green” and William Wordsworth’s “splendour in the grass” stand in vivid contrast to the obliterating greenery on human battlefields in war poems such as John McCrae’s “In Flanders Fields” and Carl Sandburg’s “Grass,” or to the work of contemporary poets—Lucia Perillo, Harryette Mullen, Denise Levertov, and Gary Soto among them—who reflect on an age of environmental crisis. Here is a rich array of poets from around the world, including Virgil, T’ao Ch’ien, Bashō, Andrew Marvell, Robert Burns, Victor Hugo, Christina Rossetti, Rainer Maria Rilke, Anna Akhmatova, Willa Cather, Ingeborg Bachmann, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Tomas Tranströmer, Sherman Alexie, and Derek Walcott, in a dazzling celebration of our complicated relationship to nature.

An anthology of poetry that traces the history of poetry's changing relationship to nature, featuring the work of over 140 poets.

In 1979 Peter Glassgold edited for New Directions a poetry collection from 7 Dutch writers known throughout Europe as The Fiftiers' - poets who, having grown up in the turbulent 1940s, came of age as poetic and visual experimenters in the 50s. This revealing collection has remained an influential testament to this exciting poetry ever since, withstanding newer and larger selections of poetry from the Netherlands. This revised and expanded edition includes a note by Douglas Messerli.'

The third volume in Messerli's ongoing cultural memoirs', beginning in the year 2000, considers all things 'under the skin': readings, events and memories that have defined him as a person. In his ongoing attempt to write about a life defined by cultural experiences, Messerli delves deep into the cultural events, both popular and literary, he was witness to during his lifetime.'

The 7th volume in Green Integer's ongoing international poetry series.
