Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Play of Waves is a collection of poems written over the period of five years by Maltas most distinguished poet, Immanuel Mifsud. It falls into six sections: the first consists of mainly lyrical poems; the second explores mental instability and the fluidity of the Self; the third is a sequence of travel poems; the fourth focuses on the dialectic of body-spirit; the fifth consists of poems about sex and sexuality; and the sixth and final section is a short cycle about Medusa. Throughout all six sections, the theme of waiting runs as a leitmotiv waiting at airports, at the psychiatric clinic, at railway stations, sex-workers waiting for clients, lonely people waiting for imaginary lovers.This is a powerful yet tender collection from a writer whose name may be familiar as winner of the European Union Prize for Literature in 2011 but whose unique poetic voice is little-known outside Malta. Immanuel Mifsud is one of Malta's most influential writers, and this, his second collection in English translation by the poet Maurice Riordan, confirms his standing internationally as a poet of distinction.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Immanuel Mifsud is one of Malta's most influential writers, and this, his second collection in English translation by the poet Maurice Riordan, confirms his standing internationally as a poet of distinction.Lyrical, melancholy, passionate, his poetry is highly impressionistic, full of fleeting moments which reflect the immutability of the natural world with its seasons and its 'play of waves', the excitement and anguish of being alive, the inexorability of old age, the unremitting darkness of what lies ahead. Mifsud's language is direct and unadorned, yet the images he creates are unsettling and deeply affecting.Maurice Riordan describes the poet as a 'latter-day troubadour, whose gloomy, wayward, excessive poems deserve a wide audience', and this selection of poems with their 'plangent music and vibrant textures' in this fine translation will certainly make its mark throughout the English-speaking world.
