Product Description -
Silver Medal Winner for Poetry at the 2022 Nautilus Book Awards. A powerful new anthology depicting how love over the past two-and-a-half millennia has found its expression in the words of the world's greatest poets. No, Love Is Not Dead is a timely affirmation of the great linguistic diversity of poetry and its ability to express passionate love, the most extreme of human emotions. With influential, award-winning poets including Kim Hyesoon, Laura Tohe and Warsan Shire, and languages ranging from Amharic, Akkadian and Ancient Greek to Yankunytjatjara, Yiddish and Yoruba, this unique anthology engages the reader in reflective tales of unlikely love stories and impossible love, love in a time of politics, surrealist love, visual love and free love, offering an intuitive insight into both historical and present-day perceptions of love across cultures. Including over 50 poets, writing on each of the world's continents, this new anthology of poems about love features a diverse range of original poems written in a variety of languages - modern, ancient, endangered and constructed -, accompanied by English translations and commentaries. Poets included in the book: Apollinaire Nicole Brossard Augusto de Campos Catullus Chaucer Dante Robert Desnos Ali Cobby Eckermann Goethe Kim Hyesoon Louise Labe Federico Garcia Lorca Vladimir Mayakovsky Miklos Radnoti Kutti Ravathi Sappho Warsan Shire Laura Tohe Marina Tsvetaeva. Languages included in the book: Akkadian Amharic Ancient Greek Faroese French German Hungarian Italian Japanese Latvian Maori Persian Polari Portuguese Russian Sanskrit Scots Scottish Gaelic Serbian Spanish Welsh Yoruba. Foreword by Laura Tohe, the current Navajo Nation Poet Laureate and Professor Emeritus with Distinction at Arizona State University, who has won awards including the 2020 Academy of American Poetry Fellowship, the 2019 American Indian Festival of Writers Award, and the Arizona Book Association's Glyph Award for Best Poetry.
