KOMESU, OKIFUMI

The Double Perspective of Yeats's Aesthetic (Irish Literacy Studies Series)

faded brown upstairs shelf, Barnes & Noble Books-Imports, Div of Rowman & Littlefield Pubs. Inc. 1984. (ISBN: 9780389205067). Hardcover, 15.2 x 2.5 x 22.9 cm. Condition, clean, writing on fore page, pages slightly tanned, dust jacket has fading. The Double Perspective of Yeats's Aesthetic offers penetrating insights into the poet's aesthetic principles. These are characterised, Professor Komesu demonstrates, by a polarity of perspective. He argues that Yeats envisaged life as both unity and conflict, and regarded art as an embodiment of both experience and knowledge. The peculiar nature of this Yeatsian polarity is that the conflicting perspectives are not irreconcilably at war, but exist in a complementary relationship, in which one lives the other's death, and dies the other's life. Professor Komesu finds this polarised perspective inherent in the literary theory of the West, constituting a discernible tradition that shapes such divergent artistic movements as Classicism and Romanticism. He contends that Yeats's place must be found within this tradition. Used: Acceptable.

MILNE, DREW

Go Figure (Salt Modern Poets)

cover, Salt Publishing. 2003. (ISBN: 9781844710294). Paperback, 20.3 x 15.5 x 0.8 cm. ref ZKVQ Condition good. This book of lyrics and texts challenges the way numbers prevail over words in art and experience. Providing a radically new poetry of the book and an exhilarating manifesto against maths in art, philosophy and society, Go Figure offers a critique of mathematical reason and a comedy of speculative wit. Review Original writing must always reinvent its own form if it is not to be part of a genre. Language is used against the grain, words allowed once again to do what they have to do in the circumstances. Milne sometimes summons up a diction from early English, rather as Helen Macdonald does, and the effect is an energising one which echoes the excitement of experimentation from an age when the language was new and wild and felt more malleable. Milne's poems shut nothing down and in this they are truly written for the reader and the world, "spangle-toed and smoke akimbo". Beyond mathematics and geometric form in art lies "the spirit of recognition. Wisdom sees that justice is more than the sum of sentences and compensation packages: judgment is an art, not mathematical juggling." That art, a political art, an intuitive poetry, is what we find between the covers of 'Go Figure'. (Edmund Hardy Terrible Work) Review How does anyone choose a utility supplier? Web-based mathematical engines will calculate the optimal payment plan, but their recommendations will not tally. So in day-to-day decisions we shut our eyes and play our pet systems, roulette-wheel mystics, finely adjusting and shrugging or invoking. Statistically I am sure to lose. Go Figure disarrays this contemporary order of being. Because Drew Milne loves dialectics he can write a long poem sequence which keeps moving at every level. His poems can be both pretty and vehement, playful while exacting. How is this possible? Go Figure, Donald Rumsfeld might say. But Drew Milne's poetry says, Come, we shall discover, and reanimates the contradictions whose mathematical expression has encased them in plastic or depleted uranium shells; reanimates them in the human beings provoked by this remarkable work. Surely that counts you? (John Wilkinson). Used: Acceptable.
