Under The Eaves Of A Forgotten Village

Under the Eaves of a Forgotten Village is unique – it is the first anthology of contemporary Bulgarian poetry to be translated into English. Here are sixty poems by leading writers in Bulgaria today – from Dora Gabe, now in her eighties, to Vladomir Bashev, who died tragically in 1967 at the age of thirty-two. Biographical notes and comments on Bulgarian literature generally are included. The design is by David Shaw, based on a scultpture by Maryon Kantaroff. The translations were undertaken by two Canadian writers. Nikola Rousanoff, a native Bulgarian, is a graduate of the University of Toronto. John Robert Colombo, who has published ten books of poems, is well-known as the editor of Colombo’s Canadian quotations.

Drawn from the acclaimed New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, the articles in this concise new reference book provide a complete survey of the poetic history and practice in every major national literature or cultural tradition in the world. As with the parent volume, which has sold over 10,000 copies since it was first published in 1993, the intended audience is general readers, journalists, students, teachers, and researchers. The editor's principle of selection was balance, and his goal was to embrace in a structured and reasoned way the diversity of poetry as it is known across the globe today. In compiling material on 106 cultures in 92 national literatures, the book gives full coverage to Indo-European poetries (all the major Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages, as well as other obscure ones such as Hittite), the ancient middle Eastern poetries (Hebrew, Persian, Sumerian, and Assyro-Babylonian), subcontinental Indian poetries (the widest linguistic diversity), Asian and Pacific poetries (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and half a dozen others), continental American poetries (all the modern Western cultures and native Indian in North, Central, and South American regions), and African poetries (ancient and emergent, oral and written).
