sidottu
Look & See offers a very personal insight into the idiosyncratic influences and inspirations behind the creativity of Anthony Burrill, designer and letterpress guru. Selecting from his private collection of printed matter, lovingly gathered and curated throughout his career, this is a celebration of the pieces of paper that surround our everyday lives, offering a whimsical and, at times, almost philosophical perspective on how we view printed artefacts. Each piece is accompanied by an observation by Burrill that reveals his sensitive knowledge and understanding about design and its place it the real world. Beautifully crafted into a whole much greater than the sum of its delightful parts, this is a publication that will entrance and be treasured in equal measure.

Collected Poems of Anthony Hecht

Collected Poems of Anthony Hecht

Anthony Hecht; Philip Hoy

RANDOM HOUSE USA INC
2023
sidottu
In his centenary year, a collection of the Pulitzer Prize winner's poems celebrates the indispensable artistry of a writer who faced the history of his era with a "clear-eyed mercy toward human weakness" (NYTBR) and "absolute raw simplicity and directness" (Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate of England, 1984-1998). Anthony Hecht, whose output spanned eight volumes, beginning in 1954 with A Summoning of Stones, served as an infantryman in World War II and participated in the liberation of the death camps in Germany. His aesthetic--bound up with a need to see the best and worst of humankind with unsparing clarity--was shaped by the cadences of the King James Bible, Shakespeare, and the canon of poetry in English. From the seven deadly sins to a Manhattan scene of Third Avenue in sunlight, or his poems reflecting the many faces of Death ("Death the Oxford Don," "Death the Whore," "Death the Film Director"), Hecht's subject matter called him to a formal elegance inextricably woven with the dramatic force, thematic ambition, and powerful emotions in each poem. This volume brings together all the published work and includes the beautiful poems he wrote before he died, never before collected. As the late J. D. McClatchy wrote, the rules of Anthony Hecht's art were "moral principles meant finally to reveal the structure of human dilemmas and sympathies." His profound influence on several successive generations of poets is testament to the enduring power of his life's work, traditional in its cadence but stunningly contemporary in its vision of who we are.

THE VENETIAN VESPERS (1979)"In its clear-eyed mercy toward human weakness, Anthony Hecht's poetry goes from strength to strength. The Venetian Vespers is at once an intense corroboration and an ample extension of his subtle, supple talents. Nothing humane is alien to him... There is a handful of short poems that are fostered alike by beauty and fear. But it is the four long poems that confirm Hecht as a poet of the widest apprehensions and comprehension, and this without the gigantism that so haunts American poetic ambition." --Christopher Ricks, The New York Times Book Review MILLIONS OF STRANGE SHADOWS (1977)"The high artistry of Anthony Hecht has been to nurture his own gift, and to work at it with the deliberateness and steadiness that it deserved from him... Emotional intensity and formal power were combined in Hecht from his beginnings... The thirty poems in Millions of Strange Shadows are all fully written, but several truly are the best he has published and are very likely to endure. The very best is 'Green: An Epistle, ' which is a lesson in profound, controlled subjectivity and self-revelation, an exact antithesis to the opaque squalors of 'confessional' poets. Almost equally remarkable is 'Coming Home, ' in which the poet John Clare receives a deeper interpretation than any critic has afforded him..." --Harold Bloom, The New Republic THE HARD HOURS (1968)"Anthony Hecht's first volume of poems, A Summoning of Stones, established him as one of the most accomplished of his extremely accomplished generation. His work was remarkable enough for its classical poise and elegance, but it also had a weight which set it apart. Since then his poetry has come clear in a direction nobody could have predicted...He did the most difficult thing of all: this most fastidious and elegant of poets shed every artifice and began to write with absolute raw simplicity and directness. Only a poet with an immense burden of something to say ever dreams of taking this course, and only an inspired artist can bring it off. The result here has been some of the most powerful and unforgettable poems at present being written in America,"--Ted Hughes
