Paperback. Condition: New. Poems on the craft, the risks and the subversive power of poetry, selected by the translator in conjunction with the author from the the Greek Collected Edition of Andonis Fostieris' poems published in 2021 (Apanta ta Poiimata 1970-2020). A bilingual edition with the Greek text from that edition and facing English translations by Irene Loulakaki-Moore. In her Introduction the translator writes:- If Fostieris draws the reader's attention to the alphabet, its sounds and the processes of syllabification, reading and writing, in other words to the "materiality of the text" and the "mechanisms of writing", it is because, like many poets of his generation, he is suspicious of the ways in which vocabularies create descriptions of the world and ourselves, instead of adequately or inadequately expressing them. The socio-political, economic and intellectual developments in Greece and elsewhere in the 1970s rendered obsolete previous generations' search for the "lost centre" and the grand narratives that validate it. Unlike the Modernist poet-authority, Fostieris, does not stand in the centre of his creation, like a unique owner of truth and sole creator of meaning. Fostieris' poetics surpasses Modernism and marks a turn towards the Post-modern, constituting a new approach to the role and function of contemporary poetry, while it also proposes a coherent conceptualization of the role of language and its relation to the truth. One could say that Fostieris and the poets of his Generation attempted what Surrealism (another avant-garde movement which met with a great deal of resistance in Greece) had attempted: the secularization of inspiration. The transformation of inspiration after the Surrealists made available for everyone what had been the privilege of the poet-initiate, in line with Lautréamont's injunction: "Poetry should be made by everyone. Not just by one." With his "prolonged hesitation between sound and meaning" (Paul Valéry) Fostieris wants to bring the written word closer to the mental experience, the feeling or the thing in itself. He does not deny the referential function of language, he only exhibits his suspiciousness towards the authority that says, "my language is true". By doing so he cleverly abstains from imposing on the readers his version of meaning, inviting them instead to join in the game of signification.…

Paperback with flaps. Condition: Near Fine. 1st German. A 1st German ed near fine paperback with flaps + laid-in paperback as new, soiling on covs. as in image, text as new. Nachtwort Niki Eideneie. Auf die Frage eines Journalisten an Andonis Fostieris, wer heutzutage seine Helden seien, antwortete er: All jene Menschen, die unter der Oberfläche des Alltags die Poesie jeden Augenblicks erkennen kànnen. Welche die Poesie lesen im offenen Buch der Welt. Ohne überhaupt sein Alphabet zu kennen. So einer ist er, und noch dazu: er kennt eben sehr gut das Alphabet der Poesie der Welt, und er kann das vermitteln. Andonis Fostieris ist ein poeta doctus, aber seine Bildung ist so fundiert, dass er sich nicht damit zu brüsten braucht. Sein Wissen ist perfekt transferiert ins poetische Wort, so dass sich alles organisch, einfach, konsequent und schàn zusammenfügt. Die Weisheit ist zwar belegt, aber man braucht nicht nach den Quellen zu suchen oder sich darauf zu besinnen, weil sie harmonisch zu dem Inhalt flieÃÂt, ein Teil der Wahrheit seiner Aussage ausmacht; sie lastet nicht schwer auf dem Leser, sondern sie erfrischt ihn, versàhnt ihn mit der Vergangenheit und eràffnet Wege der Zukunft, weil sie auf dieser Vergangenheit fuÃÂt, ohne sie auf romantische oder ideologische Weise zu verherrlichen. Er ist kein Philologe, auch kein Philosoph, sondern ein Meister des Denkens, der mit seinen Umkehrungen vieles in Frage stellt, auch für sich, aber auch für den Rezipienten seiner Dichtung, den er zum Mitstreiter und Mitspieler macht beim Frage- und Antwortspiel, das er aufs Tapet bringt. Und du musst miträtseln, es ist eine Art Falle, wenn du dich auf seine Einladung einlässt, aus der du dich nicht so schnell zurückziehen màchtest. (Niki Eideneier, Nachwort). Notice: Has increased shipping cost due to weight (550gr.).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Andonis Fostiéris est une grande voix de la poésie contemporaine grecque. Dans une écriture dense et claire, qui n'en demeure pas moins énigmatique, comme toute grande oeuvre, il confronte le Tha et le Na, en quelque sorte les promesses futures qui seront tenues ou pas. Sa lucidité à toute épreuve, Incapables d'immortalité les mortels, met en relief la brique élémentaire du sens et des émotions que véhiculent les mots. Vie brève et art durable, l'action est la seule théorie qui compte, chez Fostiéris la culture grecque ou autre est toujours à l'épreuve du réel, elle permet aussi d'échafauder des projets pour le passé. Laissons le lecteur découvrir l'ampleur, la souplesse et la beauté de ces poèmes !Michel Cassir 130 pp. Französisch.…
