I am down, and within her! I have vaulted into her boundaries and I am as black as she is. I am buried deep in her flesh. I pull her flesh off her in handfuls and cover my skin in hers. I prance, cool and nightladen with exterior cunt. The black bed before me is rucked. The black woman-outline has risen from it and I dance within her skin. I am the black woman. I am petal-soft, and my surfaces are rounded and shining. The bosom of my shirt is heavy with mud. It hangs and flounces like large breasts full of black milk. The black lady minces sadly loverless over the mud, she smells of tar and sunlight. Where is this white lover? She dances sadly on her own. Soon her lover will return, but her disappearance is the condition of his return. She will enjoy the sunlight while she can. Soon her ladyhood will pour like black blood through the drains of his bathroom, she will fade like a shadow in a shower of clear water.

(Peter Redgrove, from Dance the Putrefact)

A marvellous collection of poems by one of Britain's best but underrated poets, Peter Redgrove, who died in 2003. This book brings together some of Redgrove's wildest and most passionate works, creating a 'flood' of poetry. Philip Hobsbaum called Redgrove 'the great poet of our time', while Angela Carter said: 'Redgrove's language can light up a page.' Redgrove ranks alongside Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. He is in every way a 'major poet'. Robinson's essay analyzes all of Redgrove's poetic work, including his use of sex magic, natural science, menstruation, psychology, myth, alchemy and feminism.

This new edition has been completey rewritten, with many new poems added.

'Robinson's enthusiasm is winning, and his perceptive readings are supported by a very useful bibliography' (Acumen magazine)

'Sex-Magic-Poetry-Cornwall is a very rich essay... It is like a brightly-lighted box. (Peter Redgrove)

'This is an excellent selection of poetry and an extensive essay on the themes and theories of this unusual poet by Jeremy Robinson' (Chapman magazine)

CORNWALL HONEYMOON

Kaolin. A white shadow
Spread across half a county. All the streams
Flaming white. The soil packed

Underfoot solid with light. A beach
With drifts of dead leaves instead of pebbles.
Flowering fogs and the cold fur of moths.

(Peter Redgrove, from 'Cornwall Honeymoon')
 
 

A full-length journey through the erotic and magical underworld of one of Britain's best poets. Packed with quotes from Redgrove's most powerful pieces.
 
 

'Peter Redgrove is really an extraordinary poet' (George Szirtes, Quarto magazine)

'Peter Redgrove is one of the few significant poets now writing...His 'means' are indeed brilliant and delightful. Technically he is a poet essentially of brilliant and unexpected images...he never disappoints' (Kathleen Raine, Temenos magazine).

BLUE REMAINS

The dress over her head. It's 2 a.m.
on a day that doesnít exist,
intercalendric time, I do my nails
as poets should, a scarlet gloss,
and celebrate the unreality
of having kicked the body clock.

(Jeremy Reed, from 'Blue Remains')

MONKSHOOD

Suitably darker tones than indigo,
a thunder sky reflected in a lake
roofed over by dense trees. Our high ladder
lost legs after you went too far
and dropped the glass word we had kept
hidden for future retrieval.

(Jeremy Reed, from 'Monkshood')

WHITE NIGHTS

To make sure he slept with virgins only
He dispatched his loved ones in the morning,
For them there was no second coming.
Until one day there came a wiser maiden,
To tell him stories till the sun had risen.

(D.J. Enright, from 'White Nights')

edited and introduced by Joanna Finn-Kelcey

Poems and prose from Dante Alighieri's New Life, his 'Book of Memory', recording his religious devotion to his believed Beatrice, translated by Thomas Okey, with the original Italian text on the facing page. Okey's tender, lyrical versions of Dante's great book of romantic love date from the early years of the 20th century. Finn-Kelcey's introduction explores the intricate emotional psychology of the Dante-poet, and his unsurpassed talent for making poetry out of love, loss and memory.

Joanna Finn-Kelcey has taught European languages at the University of Cambridge and Ohio State University. Her books include Mediaeval Representations (1991) and Dante Studies: Dante in Love, on the Vita Nuova (Crescent Moon, 1997).

Tutti li miei pensier parlan d'amore,
Ed hanno in lor sì gran varietate,
Ch'altro mi fa voler sua potestate,
Altro folle ragiona il suo valore:

[All my thoughts speak of love and have in them such great diversity, that one makes me desire his power: another argues his influence madness]

(Dante, from the Vita Nuova, XII)
 

Dante Alighieri 's early work, the Vita Nuova or 'New Life' was one of the most influential books in the history of love poetry. Finn-Kelcey discusses the links between Dante and his contemporaries, the stilnovisti; Dante and the troubadours; Dante and the courtly love tradition; the discourses of self, identity, autobiography, eroticism and gender in the Vita Nuova; and Dante's sexual politics

These two Renaissance writers tower over European culture. Here the love poetry of Francesco Petrarch (his Canzoniere) and Dante Alighieri (the Vita Nuova and Divine Comedy) is analyzed. Hughes places Dante and Petrarch in the courtly love tradition of the troubadours, Minnesangers, minstrels and stilnovisti, the creators of the great flowering of erotic poetry in the late Middle Ages.

Cassidy Hughes is a writer and photographer. His previous books include Images of India (1982), Petrarch, Dante and the Troubadours (1992) and Sex in Art (1993). His photographs have been exhibited in London, Rome, Hong Kong and New York (among others). He lives near St Just in West Penwith, Cornwall.

Then Beatrice looked at me, her eyes
sparkling with love and burning so divine,
my strength of sight surrendered to her power -

with eyes cast down, I was about to faint.

(Dante, from the Divina Commedia)

This critical literary study looks at the chief poets and philosophers of the Romantic era who, between them, forged a new cult of mystical, lyrical poetry. After a discussion of the key ideas of German Romanticism (infinity, eternity, nostalgia, mythology, Hellenism, extremity, sensuality), Appleby concentrates on the poets: from Goethe, 'the last Renaissance man', as he is sometimes called, to the shamanic, Neoplatonic poet Novalis and his Hymen an die Nacht.

In meine Stille kamst du liese wandelnd,
Fandst drinnen in der Halle Dunkel mich aus,
Du Freundlicher! du kanst nicht unverhoft
Und fernher, wirkend über der Erde vernahm
Ich wohl dein Wiederkehren, schöner Tag

(Your movement hushed, you came into my stillness,
Deep in the gloomy hall you sought me out,
You kindly light; and not unhoped for came,
But from afar, at work above the earth,
Well I could hear you come again, bright Day!)

(Friedrich Hölderlin, from The Death of Empedocles)
 
 

Rilke is probably the great 20th century poet, certainly one of the richest, most potent and lyrically beautiful of all poets. This book looks at many of Rilke's curious notions: of the 'Open', which is identified with death; of innerness or 'Kunst-Ding' in the New Poems (derived from Rilke's time with Rodin); of the Nietzschean Angel in the Duino Elegies; and of love and death in the late Sonnets to Orpheus.

B.D. Barnacle taught English in Paris until 1980. He now teaches in Oxford. His books include John Donne (1978), The Victorian Novel: Brontë, Dickens, Eliot, Hardy (1984), Shakespeare (Crescent Moon, 1992) and Rilke (Crescent Moon, 1993).

This is the non-existent animal.
Not knowing that, they loved it, loved its ways,
its neck, its posture, loved its quiet gaze
down to the light within it, loved it all.

True, it was not. But, because loved, a pure
beast came to be. A space was kept, conceded.
And in that space, left blank for it, secure,
it gently raised its head and hardly needed

(Rainer Maria Rilke, from Sonnet to Orpheus)

HYPERION'S SONG OF FATE

You walk above in the light,
 Weightless tread a soft floor, blessed genii!
  Radiant the gods' mild breezes
   Gently play on you
    As the girl artist's fingers
     On holy strings.

Sur la pente du talus, les anges tournent leurs robes de laine dans les herbages díacier et díèmeraude.
 Des prés de flames bondissent jusquíau sommet du mamelon. A gauche le terreau de líarête est piétiné par tous les homicides et toutes les batailles, et tous les bruit désastreux filent leur courbre. Derriére líarête de droite la ligne des orients, des progrès.
 Et, tandis que la bande en haunt du tableau est formée de la rumeur tournante et bondissante des conques des mers et des nuits humaines,
 La douceur fleurie des étoiles et du ciel et du reste descend en face du talus, comme un panier, - contre notre face, et fait líabîme fleurant et bleu là-dessus.

(On the side of the slope, the angels spin their woollen robes in the meadows of steel and emerald.
 Fields of flame fly up to the top of the summit. To the left, the soil is trampled by all the murders and all the battles, and all the sounds of disaster turning in their curve. Behind the summit on the right is the line of the Orient, the progress.
 And while the band of the top of the tableau is formed of the whirling rumour and leaping sounds of sea shells and human nights,
 The flowery softness of the star and the sky and all the rest moves down opposite the slope, like a basket, - against our face, and makes the abyss below flowery and blue.)

(Arthur Rimbaud, 'Mystic', from Illuminations)

A new translation of Rimbaud's extraordinary poetic statement, written in 1873. The sensual, violent and anguished emotion in Rimbaud's visionary 'alchemy of the word' remains startling, and continues to inspire poets. Printed with the French text facing the translation.

For a long time I bragged of possessing all possible landscapes, and I found stupid the celebrating of modern painting and poetry.)

A study of the great modern Greek poet, the master of melancholy lyricism and erotic nostalgia. C.P. Cavafy's poetry fluidly melded the mythological and historical Hellenic world with alienated, modern day Alexandria. Cavafy's poesie was always driven by one of the most intense (yet controlled) displays of sexual desire in modern literature. This is Matt Crispin's third book on Cavafy, and offers many insights into the poet's artistic disposition. Translations of Cavafy by the author.

Matt Crispin has written three books on the Greek poet C.P. Cavafy. He has also written plays. He lives in Sussex.

TO APHRODITE

Aphrodite splendour-throned immortal, wile-weaving child of Zeus, to thee is my prayer. Whelm not my heart, O Queen, with suffering and sorrow, but come hither I pray thee, if ever ere this thou hast heard and marked my voice afar, and stepping from thy Fatherís house harnessed a golden chariot, and the strong pinions of thy two swans fair and swift, whirring from heaven through mid-sky, have drawn thee towards the dark earth, and lo! were there; and thou, blest Lady, with a smile on that immortal face, didst gently ask what ailed me, and why I called, and what this wild heart would have done, and Whom shall I make to give thee room in her heartís love, who is it, Sappho, that does thee wrong? for even if she flees thee, she shall soon pursue; if she will not take thy gifts, she yet shall give; and if she loves not, soon love she shall, whether or no; -
O come to me now as thou camest then, to assuage my sore trouble and do what my heart would fain have done, thyself my stay in battle.

(Sappho)

FIRST MEETINGS

We celebrated every moment
Of our meetings as epiphanies,
Just we two in all the world.
Bolder, lighter than a birdís wing,
You hurtled like vertigo
Down the stairs, leading
Through moist lilac to your realm
Beyond the mirror.

by Jeremy Mark Robinson

A new critical survey of the novelist who died in 1990. The author studies in detail all of Durrell's work; the late series of novels The Avignon Quintet, the Tunc and Nunquam novels, the travel books, the Antrobus diplomatic sketches, the letters, the poetry, and the books that made Durrell's name in the late 1950s, The Alexandria Quartet. Robinson discusses Durrell's creative friendships with Henry Miller especially, and also Anais Nin, Richard Aldington and others. The inter-related themes of love, art and death form the core of all Durrell's work. Durrell emerges as a major writer, who developed the literary modernism of Proust, Eliot and Joyce and fused it with Oriental philosophy. Still critically neglected, this study offers a much-needed new appraisal of Durrell.

Jeremy Mark Robinson's books include Glorification: Religious Abstraction in Renaissance and 20th Century Art (1990), Arthur Rimbaud (1992), Lawrence Durrell (1995) and Detonation Britain: Nuclear War in the UK (1997). He edits two magazines, Passion and Pagan America (a journal of American poetry).

Wind among prisms all tonight again:
Alone again, awake again in the Sufi's house,
Cumbered by this unexpiring love,
Jammed like a cartridge in the breech
Leaving the bed with its dented pillow,
The married shoes alert upon the floor.

Samuel Beckett's art is much debated in critical circles: this book sets out to discover why. Beckett's sense of poetry and language and its relation to creativity and culture is central to his art. All the major fiction and plays are studied, including the Unnamable trilogy, Waiting For Godot, Endgame, How It Is, the short prose pieces of the 1960s and 70s, and the late plays and texts. Other chapters discuss the collaboration with Billie Whitelaw; Beckett's æsthetics of theatre; his relation to philosophers such as Sartre and Heidegger; and his use of silence.

From where she lies she sees Venus rise. On. From where she lies when the skies are clear she sees Venus rise followed by the sun. Then she rails at the source of all life. On. At evening when the skies are clear she savours its star's revenge. At the other window. Rigid upright on her old chair she watches for the radiant one. Her old deal spindlebacked kitchen chair. It emerges from out the last rays and sinking ever brighter is engulfed in its turn. On. She sits on erect and rigid in the deepening gloom.

Robert Graves, who died in 1985, is one of Britain's best love-poets, though he was first known as a war poet and author of Goodbye to All That and later the I, Claudius novels. This book focuses on his highly individual love-poetry, which is marked by lucidity, passion and freshness. The author relates the poetry to the central Gravesian concerns of the White Goddess; the magical landscapes; the role of the true, dedicated poet; the concept of Muse-poetry; his relations with Laura Riding; the Single Poetic Theme of the Goddess and Her consort, the dying god; and the mythological surveys, in particular The White Goddess and The Greek Myths. Throughout the book Graves is set alongside the erotic poetry traditions of ancient Greece and Rome, Sufism, courtly love, Elizabethan and Romantic poetry. His poetic oeuvre is compared with Petrarch's Rime Sparse and Shakespeare's Sonnets, as well as the English poetic tradition: Skelton, Donne, Keats, Hardy, Eliot and Yeats. The author also discusses Graves' associations with symbolism, witchcraft, mythology, folklore and psychology. All the major poems are featured in this important contribution to Graves studies. This is the only study of the whole of Graves' late love-poetry available.

Jeremy Mark Robinson's books include Glorification: Religious Abstraction in Renaissance and 20th Century Art (1990), Arthur Rimbaud (1992), Lawrence Durrell (1995) and Detonation Britain: Nuclear War in the UK (2000).

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree,
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

(Emily Brontë, "Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away")

I enter a daisy-and-buttercup land,
     And thence thread a jungle of grass:
Hurdles and stiles scarce visible stand
     Above the lush stems as I pass.

(Thomas Hardy, from 'Growth in May')

There are surprisingly few feminist analyses of Hardy, and most do not get beyond vague notions of sexism and misogynism, in the Kate Millett manner. Elvy's book, however, uses up-to-date research in the fields of cultural studies, feminist poetics, gay, lesbian and queer theory. This new, postmodern and incisive exploration of Hardy offers an exciting and radical reappraisal of the discourses of gender, desire, class, economy, socialization, identity and patriarchy in his fiction and poetry.

Margaret Elvy recently taught at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. She has written books on George Eliot, Margaret Atwood and Toni Morrison. She has three books on Thomas Hardy from Crescent Moon (Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Sexing Hardy: Thomas Hardy and Feminism).
 

This new edition includes a new introduction and a new bibliography.

Let us off and search, and find a place,
Where yours and mine can be natural lives,
Where no one comes, who dissects and dives
And proclaims that ours is a curious case,
Which its touch of romance can scarcely grace.

(Thomas Hardy, from 'The Recalcitrants')

The discourses of societal oppression, sexual repression, love, education, identity, pain and tragedy, myth and religion are Thomas Hardy's main themes. This lucid analysis of Hardy's ethics begins with the major novels and ends with an investigation of Hardy's philosophy. Not a pessimist or a 'negative' thinker, Hardy emerges as a socially committed realist, who saw that much of the pain of life is created by people, not necessarily by ëfate', time, circumstance, luck, chance or the world.

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
  From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
  In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
  The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,
  As she dances about the sun,
I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
  And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
  And laugh as I pass in thunder.

(Percy Bysshe Shelley, from 'The Cloud')

This book gathers the most potent passages from Keats together, including the famous ëOdes', the sonnets, the luxuriously sensuous ëEve of St Agnes', the mysterious and atmospheric ëLa Belle Dame Sans Merci', and extracts from ëLamia', Endymion and Hyperion.

Nor do we merely feel these essences
For one short hour; no, even as the trees
That whisper round a temple become soon
Dear as the temple's self, so does the moon,
The passion poesy, glories infinite,
Haunt us till they become a cheering light
Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast,
That, whether there be shine, or gloom o'ercast,
They always must be with us, or we die.

(John Keats, from Endymion)

TO JULIA

Permit me, Julia, now to go away;
Or by thy love, decree me here to stay.
If thou wilt say, that I shall live with thee;

There, where no language ever yet was known.

(Robert Herrick, 'To Julia')

I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might
Become your time of day; and yours, and yours,
That wear upon your virgin branches yet
Your maidenheads growing: O Prosperina!

The Sonnets represent the highpoint of love poetry in English: they continue to astonish and delight with the abundance of their word play and the intensity of the erotic feelings they depict. This book prints all of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets and provides a commentary on this narrative of rivalry in love.

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments: love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worthís unknown although his height be taken.
Loveís not Timeís fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickleís compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    If this be error and upon me províd,
    I never writ, nor no man ever lovíd.

This book includes all of Shakespeare's poetry, including the Sonnets, Venus and Adonies, The Rape of Lucrece and The Passionate Pilgrim.

A refreshing look at the cultural phenomenon that is ëShakespeareí, focussing on the discourses of sexuality, theatre, culture, tragedy, magic, politics and feminism. The Sonnets create much controversy, but Barnacle studies them as poetry first, and uses the Sonnets as a key to all of Shakespeareís texts. The book concludes with an in-depth survey of feminist literary criticism, and how it applies to the central icon of Western literature.

B.D. Barnacle taught English in Paris until 1980. He now teaches in Oxford. His books include John Donne (1978), The Victorian Novel: Brontë, Dickens, Eliot, Hardy (1984), Shakespeare (Crescent Moon, 1992) and Rilke (Crescent Moon, 1993).

This is a collection of Wyattís Petrarchan sonnets, songs, ballads, epigrams and rondeaux. The poems, in meticulously wrought stanzas, are mainly about love: love lost, won, and desired. Wyatt was the first of the great English Renaissance love poets. Wyattís poetry is too often neglected, beside towering talents such as Spenser, Shakespeare and Marlowe. Poems attributed to Wyatt are also here.

Greatly shining,

But now thou askest me and sayest, ëHow shall I think on Himself, and what is He? and to this I cannot answer thee but thus: ëI wot not.í
 For thou hast brought me with thy question into that same darkness, and into that same cloud of unknowing, that I would thou wert in thyself. For of all other creatures and their works, yea, and of the works of Godís self, may a man through grace have full head of knowing, and well he can think of them: but of God Himself can no man think. And therefore I would leave all that thing that I can think, and choose to my love that thing that I cannot think. For why; He may well be loved, but not thought. By love may He be gotten and holden; but by thought never. And therefore, although it be good sometime to think of the kindness and the worthiness of God in special, and although it be a light and a part of contemplation: nevertheless yet in this work it shall be cast down and covered with a cloud of forgetting. And thou shalt step above it stalwarthy, but listily, with a devout and a pleasing stirring of love, and try for to pierce that darkness above thee. And smite upon that thick cloud of unknowing with a sharp dart of longing love; and go not thence for thing that befalleth.

(from The Cloud of Unknowing)
