Dick Davis—“our pre-eminent translator from the Persian” (The Washington Post)—has revised and expanded his acclaimed translation of Ferdowsi’s masterpiece, adding more than 100 pages of newly translated text. Davis’s elegant combination of prose and verse allows the poetry of the Shahnameh to sing its own tales directly, interspersed sparingly with clearly marked explanations to ease along modern audiences.

In recent years the stirring, unforgettable poetry of Jalālu’l-Dīn Rūmī (1207–1273), the great Sūfi teacher and the greatest mystical poet of Iran, has gained tremendous popularity in the western world. Although he died over 700 years ago, his poetry is timeless. In the best modern translations, the passion and playfulness of his words reach across the ages to communicate themselves to people today with an undiluted fervor and excitement.

Tao Te Ching, attributed to the ancient Chinese sage Lao Tzu, is a foundational text of Taoist philosophy and one of the most translated works in world literature. Composed of 81 brief, poetic chapters, the book offers timeless wisdom on living in harmony with the Tao—the natural way or path of the universe.

Il a suffi à Stéphane Mallarmé de quelques poèmes pour remettre en question l'objet même de la littérature. Avec lui naquit un vers nouveau : souvent remaniés des dizaines de fois, ses poèmes sont un travail d'orfèvre, pour lequel il soupèse chaque mot, le contemple sous toutes ses faces et dans sa transparence, dans le jeu de tous ses reflets, jusqu'à obtenir un bijou textuel dont l'essence est un plaisir musical et sensuel plutôt que l'évocation d'objets réels. Sans Mallarmé, pas de modernité poétique. Découvrez ou redécouvrez Mallarmé au travers de ses meilleurs textes ; on leur reproche souvent leur difficulté, mais la clarté de l'interprétation de Florence Alayrac permet d'en savourer tout le plaisir.

Selezione dei migliori aforismi di Andrea De Flora (Cercola 1973), aforista e poeta italiano. Titolo "Ali" quanto mai appropriato, visto che la maggior parte degli aforismi sono molto brevi, come del resto è tipico dell'aforisma, ma sempre densi di significato. Dopo la lettura degli aforismi, ci sono dei versi brevi, e poi, delle poesie d'amore che l'autore sceglie per completare la silloge. L'ascolto è molto piacevole e intenso, sia per la voce meravigliosa sia per le parole, nonostante una durata di solo dieci minuti, così voluta dall'autore, tende a sorprendere il lettore continuamente.

Le XVIIème siècle se partage entre baroque et classicisme. La poésie baroque (Théophile de Viau, Tristan Lhermite) affirme quelques principes communs: goût de la sensualité, des extrêmes, de l'ornementation, du language à effets, avec une prédilection de la forme sur le fond; on privilégie les sentiments sur la raison. L'avènement du pouvoir royal absolu avec ses poètes de cour entraîne un rejet des excès du baroque et, avec Malherbe, une stricte codification de la versification.

Work from husband and wife Sheila and Adan Lerma, who sold their poems for nearly a decade in the 90s at malls and art shows as personalized sayings.

Ovid's sensuous and witty poem brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation, often as a result of love or lust, in which men and women find themselves magically changed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending with the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best known myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome.

Anne Carson is "the most exciting poet writing in English today", said Michael Ondaatje. Carson, an essayist and classicist, is the author of many collections and translations, including Decreation, The Beauty of the Husband, Eros the Bittersweet, and Autobiography of Red. Her translations of four plays by Euripides are collected in Grief Lessons. Carson returns to the Poetry Center to perform her pieces "Cassandra Float Can" and "Lecture on Pronouns".

Sophisticated wit and intense emotion, religious fervor and erotic sensuality, delight in life’s pleasures and fascination with death, are all to be found in the paradoxical poetry of John Donne. One of the foremost metaphysical poets, Donne’s ingenious metaphors and inspired use of language has earned him affection and reverence in near equal measure to Shakespeare.

Romantic relationships are the spice of life. They make us feel alive in a way that nothing else can. Genuine romance exists when two people show that they care for each other through small acts of love and affection. We feel loved and cared for when we know that our significant other is thinking about how to give us the most pleasure. Romance is the key to keeping the sparks flying. Without it, any relationship will soon lose its shine.

There are few better ways to discover the identity of a nation or people than by listening to their poetry. From historical events to moral values to the political landscape (and often visions of the actual landscape), poetry, at its best, reveals the soul of a people. And Russia has offered us some of the very best.

Življenjsko delo najpomembnejšega slovenskega modernega pisca Ivana Cankarja je izredno bogato in neprecenljive vrednosti, po eni strani za razvoj socialne zavesti človeške družbe, po drugi za literarni obstoj našega naroda.

Paul Verlaine est né à Metz, le 30 mars 1844. Il mourut à Paris le 8 janvier 1895 après avoir, dans les dernières années de sa vie, erré d'un hôpital à l'autre, en proie aux misères de l'alcool. L'Académie, de son vivant, lui avait refusé une immortalité que ce poète maudit eut bientôt conquise, une fois disparu. Paul Verlaine nous a laissé quelques-uns des poèmes les plus fameux de la littérature française : "Le Colloque sentimental", "Il pleure dans mon cœur", "Chanson d'automne", "Le ciel est par-dessus le toit".
