Poetry. Environmental Studies. THE UPLANDS: BOOK OF THE COUREL AND OTHER POEMS by the great Galician poet Uxío Novoneyra, translated by Erín Moure. Novoneyra is a poet and man of the land, and stands with Lorca as a poetic visionary of 20th century Spain. He was devoted to his region, the mountainous Courel, to its variant of Galician and to its names and ways, as well as to Galician culture as a whole, to the expression of all minority cultures and to freedom from imperialism, war, and economic expansionism. His oeuvre--rich in sound, syllable, silence and gesture--reveals him as an eco-poet before the concept existed. Os Eidos [THE UPLANDS], first published in 1955 and still in print today, is his monumental work.
Erin Moure Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Erín Moure is een grensoverschrijdende dichteres en vertaler wiens werk grenzen overstijgt. Haar schrijven duikt in de complexiteit van de menselijke ervaring, waarbij ze vaak thema's als vertaling, herinnering en taal onderzoekt. Zowel in haar poëzie als in haar proza probeert Moure conventionele opvattingen over literaire vorm te doorbreken en tegelijkertijd de mogelijkheden van de taal zelf uit te breiden.
