Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Reviews and Commentary for Transient Worlds"In Transient Worlds, we are offered . a truly expansive aesthetic and poetic circumference, one for the ages. As Sze deftly unpacks each poem and its various translations, readers are invited to look around, listen, and feel their way . to understand that all reading is, in some sense translation and that they, too, are entering the 'dark mystery' . He leaves us with the idea that the challenge of translation lies not simply in finding lexical equivalents but in preserving the original's generative openness. Transient Worlds reveals how the best translations do not resolve mystery but rather nourish and sustain it, allowing poems in one language to live anew in another through an endless process of renewal."--Jonathan Stalling, World Literature Today "Translation builds bridges and makes community. . . . Translating a poem with the aid of a fluent speaker builds trust and emotional connection; it forms a bridge where insight and understanding go back and forth. And issues of translating poetry from one language into another offer unexpected insights into creating one's own poetry. Instead of a materialist worldview where you gain at someone else's expense, translating poetry shows that the more you give, the more everyone has. As the twenty-fifth US Poet Laureate, I send Transient Worlds as my offering out into the world."--U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze"Poetry has a crucial role to play in our lives. We're living in a very fast-paced world. We have the internet and social media and smart phones, and for that speed, we also sacrifice depth. We're losing depth of perception. You cannot speed-read a poem. Poetry communicates through sound and rhythm; it's best if you speak it aloud. [Transient Worlds] is designed in zones - if you only have 15 minutes, you can still read one section. . . . [Poetry] makes us slow down, and in doing that, it deepens our experience."--Arthur Sze"Now more than ever, dismantling walls and cultural barriers will help to find the common ground that seems to be shifting and eroding underfoot. 'Translation, ' Sze affirms, 'builds bridges and makes connections.'"--Veronica Corpuz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"Poetry in translation is certainly a subject about which Sze is quite fluent, and we are the eager beneficiaries of [Transient Worlds]. . . .The Rilke poem [that concludes this collection] ends in wisdom: 'You must change your life.' I suspect Sze aims to help us do the same, one poetry translation at a time."--Nancy Naomi Carlson, On the SeawallPraise for Arthur Sze"Arthur Sze, one of the most acclaimed poets of our time, is celebrated for exploring the natural world, the human condition, and connections between cultures. . . . Sze's work invites readers to deepen their sense of place and reflect on the world around them."--PBS NewsHour"[The Glass Constellation] is an overwhelming feast, a treasure, and more than enough proof that Sze is a major poet."NPR"Yoking the earth-bound and the heavenly, full of cosmic wonder, his individual lyrics and ambitious sequences balance a love of beauty and formal equipoise with an acknowledgement of violence and chance. A meticulous craftsperson, Sze honors the poignance of each moment we share while on earth by finding forms that capture what he calls 'the unrepeatable contour of this breath.'"--Judges' Citation, National Book Founda Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
