Jerome Rothenberg Knihy

Highlighting a diverse array of experimental forms, this collection showcases Rothenberg's innovative early work alongside interpretations of Native American, Australian, and other primitive songs. It also features ancestral poems that delve into his roots, foreshadowing themes that would be further explored in his later poetry. This volume serves as a significant exploration of cultural expression and poetic evolution.

The collection features a diverse array of essays and commentaries from a prominent figure in poetry, criticism, and translation, spanning the years 1980 to 2005. It showcases insights into both American and international poetry, reflecting the author's significant contributions to the literary landscape.

Combining two works written over the same time period Concealments and Caprichos is a two-pronged follow up to Rothenberg's earlier book of poems, A Book of Witness. As Rothenberg states in his preface, the title is based on a Jewish mystical work, Sifra diSeni'uta from which he drew the lines that open this title. Those lines appear sporadically throughout Concealments, not as the mapping of a nonexistent god, but as an intimation, in both Concealments and Caprichos, of an imagined world embedded in the real one.

The book features a visionary, ethnopoetically-inspired narrative that is enhanced by striking visual imagery and an innovative fold-out design. Its unique presentation transforms it into a remarkable treasure, appealing to both literary and visual art enthusiasts.

Exploring the intersection of traditional Yaqui Indian Deer Dance songs and modern art, this revised edition features Jerome Rothenberg's variations alongside Harold Cohen's innovative computer-generated drawings. The book includes an updated introduction by Rothenberg and an excerpt from Cohen's reflections on mark-making and metaphor across cultures. Redesigned and expanded from its original 1984 edition, it also serves as a tribute to Cohen, commemorating his contributions to art and technology.

Edited by Jerome Rothenberg, this anthology showcases the rich tapestry of Native American poetry, incorporating elements of song, dance, and ritual. As a pivotal figure in the ethnopoetics movement, Rothenberg presents a diverse collection that reflects the cultural heritage and artistic expressions of Native communities. Celebrating its 40th year, this third edition emphasizes the enduring significance and evolving nature of Indigenous voices in contemporary literature.

A wide ranging survey of internationally celebrated and acclaimed poet, translator, and editor Jerome Rothenberg. Surveying the entirety of his 50 plus years of writing and covering his 80 plus published books, this volume provides a further insight into the mind and breadth of writing of Rothenberg to date. Further critical commentaries are provided by both the author and Heriberto Yepez.

Barbaric Vast & Wild is a continuation and a possible culmination of the project that began with Jerome Rothenberg's Technicians of the Sacred in 1968 and led to the first four volumes of Poems for the Millennium in the 1990s and 2000s. In this new and equally groundbreaking volume, Rothenberg and John Bloomberg-Rissman have assembled a wide-ranging gathering of poems and related language works, whose outside/outsider and subterranean/subversive positions challenge some of the boundaries to where poetry has been or may be practiced, as well as the form and substance of the poetry itself. It also extends the time frame of the preceding volumes in Poems for the Millennium, hoping to show that, in all places and times, what the dominant culture has taken as poetry has only been part of the story.
