Book Description
New European Poets presents the works of poets from across Europe. In compiling this landmark anthology, Wayne Miller and Kevin Prufer enlisted twenty-four regional editors to select 270 poets whose writing was first published after 1970. These poets represent every country in Europe, and many of them are published here for the first time in English and in the United States. The resulting anthology collects some of the very best work of a new generation of poets who have come of age since Paul Celan, Anna Akhmatova, Federico García Lorca, Eugenio Montale, and Czeslaw Milosz.

Book Description
The Indo-Europeans, speakers of the prehistoric parent language from which most European and some Asiatic languages are descended, most probably lived on the Eurasian steppes some five or six thousand years ago. Martin West investigates their traditional mythologies, religions, and poetries, and points to elements of common heritage. In The East Face of Helicon (1997), West showed the extent to which Homeric and other early Greek poetry was influenced by Near Eastern traditions, mainly non-Indo-European. His new book presents a foil to that work by identifying elements of more ancient, Indo-European heritage in the Greek material. Topics covered include the status of poets and poetry in Indo-European societies; metre, style, and diction; gods and other supernatural beings, from Father Sky and Mother Earth to the Sun-god and his beautiful daughter, the Thunder-god and other elemental deities, and earthly orders such as Nymphs and Elves; the forms of hymns, prayers, and incantations; conceptions about the world, its origin, mankind, death, and fate; the ideology of fame and of immortalization through poetry; the typology of the king and the hero; the hero as warrior, and the conventions of battle narrative.

Book Description
None of the new women poets in this anthology has yet published a book, yet they include some of the most original new voices of the Nineties. Most have already been widely published in magazines, and some have won major literary prizes. All are now at the point of producing first collections which will help set the tone of poetry in the new decade, with poems that are passionate and precise, subtle and skilful, sardonic and streetwise, acure, aware or quietly moving.'The whole notion that women poets can be legitimately grouped in this way, and that gender is almost a symbolic form of nationality, owes everything to the Women's Movement, and the literary revolution it created. The very fact that such a book as this can be published at all proves the success of that revolution. Any amassing of women's voices will amount to a fairly radical critique of current society. It is up to the reader to decide that that critique is.' - Carol RumensThe poets included are: Rachel Blake, Vuywelwa Carlin, Liz Cashdan, Janet Fisher, Linda France, Cynthia Fuller, Elizabeth Garrett, Adèle Geras, Angela Greene, Lavinia Greenlaw, Fiona Hall, Tracey Herd, Jackie Kay, Mimi Khalvati, Gwyneth Lewis, S.J. Litherland, Christine McNeill, Jill Maughan, Mary O'Donnell, Katrina Porteous, Anne Rouse, Eva Salzman, Linda Saunders, Christiania Whitehead, Briar Wood.

Book Description
'Six Slovenian Poets' is the first in a new series of bilingual anthologies which brings the work of a younger generation of poets from across Europe to a wider English-language readership, a series which aims to keep a finger on the pulse of the 'here-and-now' of European poetry. The six poets represented here -- three men and three women -- are all under 40, have all been published for the first time within the past decade, and all (though in very different ways) break with, and re-evaluate, the Slovenian literary tradition. This tradition is outlined in the informative introduction to the anthology by Ales Debeljak, from which is becomes clear that these young poets may have more in common with their peers from the rest of Europe and North America than with their Slovenian forebears. Energetic, unexpected, at times hard-hitting, this volume makes for an exciting and thought-provoking beginning to the 'New Voices from Europe and Beyond' anthology series.
