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.

LEHMAN, DAVID

The Best American Poetry 1994

Simon & Schuster/Touchstone. 1994. (ISBN: 9780671899486). Paperback, 1.2 x 5.8 x 8.5 inches. Paperback in good condition, small black smudge to bottom of some pages edges only. Simon & Schuster Touchstone book 1994. Editor A R Ammons and series editor David Lehman. Some of the strong poems in Lehman's always worthwhile annual anthology series include Jorie Graham's "In the Hotel," Mark Doty's "Difference," Lyn Hejinian's "The Polar Circle," J.D. McClatchy's "Found Parable" and W.D. Snodgrass's "Snow Songs." The Graham, for instance, is a painstaking and courageous exploration of emptiness revealed as fully occupied; the writer's brilliance lies not only in her descriptive, imaginative accuracy in envisioning this, but also in a sort of investigative patience that equips her to "report" on absence in breathtaking detail. Her achievement seems pioneering. Likewise, Hejinian writes like an honest high-roller, seeking out "the farthest extent of a scene," though in more abstract terms than Graham's. The matchless musicality of Snodgrass, and a personal encyclopedia of imagery ("God's bobbin mills"; "the horizon, a maternal flour sifter") summon up a winter's snow, while McClatchy's earnest intellectual wit writes an essay as a poem. Virtuosity and range buoy the book. And fortunately, Lehman uses the opportunity of his introduction to make critical suggestions about the state of poetry and poetry criticism. As usual, this yearly compendium is not to be missed. - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
