Poetisk debut for Tor Rivlin.Elleve år gammel treffer James barneskuespilleren Eva. De faller for hverandre og tilbringer en kort og meningsfull tid sammen, før Eva blir sendt til tanten sin i Frankrike. Frarøvelsen er grov, men James parerer med å holde minnene varme. Han dropper ut av skolen, stifter et kortlevd teaterkompani og livnærer seg som baker. Flere år senere, utenfor en iskiosk i Marseille, ser han Eva igjen.Stor oppstandelse er et langt og fortellende dikt om modenhet og sentimentalitet, som stjeler fritt fra budsjettfilmens klisjébank, og stripper tyvgodset for dets vante og uunnværlige omgivelser.

Lars Saabye Christensen rikholdige lyriske produksjon berikes i år med den lille perlen Onkel Onkel.Med alvor og humoristisk presisjon møter vi Onkel i verden av et familieselskap, et selskap han ikke alltid finner seg helt til rette i.Her kommer du garantert til å finne dikt som - i motsetning til Onkel - passer godt til høytlesning i alle selskap.Onkel vil ha:En munn han kan ta bladet fraEn syk mor han kan tale forEn kake han kan meleEn grøt han kan gå rundtEn arm han kan sy puter underEt lys han kan brenne i begge enderEn vind han kan vende kappen etterog et klaver han kan trampe iLar det seg ikke gjørekan han nøye seg med salatOg sist men ikke minstvil Onkel ha en skogsom han kan ha svin påog en dør han først kan feie forog så gå helt stille i

On the 100th anniversary of T. S. Eliot's modernist masterpiece, a rich cultural history of The Waste Land's creation, explosive impact, and enduring influenceWhen T. S. Eliot published The Waste Land in 1922, it put the thirty-four-year-old author on a path to worldwide fame and the Nobel Prize. "e;But,"e; as Jed Rasula writes, "e;The Waste Land is not only a poem: it names an event, like a tornado or an earthquake. Its publication was a watershed, marking a before and after. It was a poem that unequivocally declared that the ancient art of poetry had become modern."e; In What the Thunder Said, Rasula tells the story of how The Waste Land changed poetry forever and how this cultural bombshell served as a harbinger of modernist revolution in all the arts, from abstraction in visual art to atonality in music.From its famous opening, "e;April is the cruellest month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land,"e; to its closing Sanskrit mantra, "e;Shantih shantih shantih,"e; The Waste Land combined singular imagery, experimental technique, and dense allusions, boldly fulfilling Ezra Pound's injunction to "e;make it new."e; What the Thunder Said traces the origins, reception, and enduring influence of the poem, from its roots in Wagnerism and French Symbolism to the way its strangely beguiling music continues to inspire readers. Along the way, we learn about Eliot's storied circle, including Wyndham Lewis, Virginia Woolf, and Bertrand Russell, and about poets like Mina Loy and Marianne Moore, whose innovations have proven as consequential as those of the "e;men of 1914."e;Filled with fresh insights and unfamiliar anecdotes, What the Thunder Said recovers the explosive force of the twentieth century's most influential poem.

«Songdiktinga har følgt meg gjennom heile forfattarskapen. Alt i debutboka står det metriske og songbare vers, som også har blitt tonesette. Frå og med Dalen Portland (1977) dukkar songar av ulikt slag opp i prosateksten. Sett i samanheng går det godt an å seia at heile forfattarskapen min har tre bein å stå på. Det er fortellande prosa, utgitt som romanar, det er essay, og songdikting. Gjennom samarbeid med musikarar og komponistar har det tredje beinet i denne tripoden blitt stadig stødigare», skriv Kjartan Fløgstad i forordet til boka.Dansen med orda samlar songlyrikken til Fløgstad, med korte introduksjonar av forfattaren sjølv. Mykje er henta frå romanar og prosautgjevingar, mens anna er skrive på oppdrag og framført med nokre av landets fremste musikarar. Noko er enno ikkje tonesett – og andre songar er så nye at dei ventar på å bli framførte. Boka er utforma i eit hendig format. Ho får plass i ei jakkelomme og kan såleis bli ein følgjesven til bryllaup og gravferd – og alle store og små hendingar som fell mellom dei to. ]]>

This magical, musical book of poems draws readers into its unforgettable heart, and Carolyn Forché wrties simply "I'm in awe of his gifts."
