Carole Satyamurti ist eine britische Dichterin, deren Werk in die Tiefen der menschlichen Psyche eintaucht und erforscht, wie wir Geschichten über uns selbst erzählen. Ihre Poesie verbindet soziologische und psychoanalytische Erkenntnisse und enthüllt die komplexen Verbindungen zwischen persönlichen Erzählungen und alltäglichen Erfahrungen. Durch ihr Schreiben und Lehren bietet Satyamurti einen eindringlichen Blick auf die menschliche Verfassung und sucht das Zusammenspiel zwischen Introspektion und der Welt um uns herum.
Final collection - published posthumously - by one of Britain's most respected poets. Carole Satyamurti was preparing these poems for publication at the time of her death, and left the manuscript in an advanced state of readiness. Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
About Carole Satyamurti’s translation “Carole Satyamurti’s version of the Mahabharata moves swiftly and powerfully. She has found a voice that’s capable of a wide variety of expression, and a line―basically classical English blank verse with a jazz-like freedom to swing―that propels the reader effortlessly onward through the cosmic, terrifying, erotic, sublime events of this extraordinary work. I think I shall never get tired of it.” ―PHILIP PULLMAN, author of The Golden Compass
This is a new selection replacing Satyamurti's OUP Selected Poems.
Love can be intensely joyful, but it is rarely straightforward. In this collection, Carole Satyamurti describes the 'stations of love', of its delight and its obsession, as well as its pain and absurdity.
