Ivor Gurney

    Ivor Gurney bol skladateľ a autor, ktorého tvorba odráža hlboké emocionálne a psychologické krajiny. Jeho rané hudobné vzdelanie v Gloucesteri položilo základy jeho pozoruhodného talentu, hoci jeho umelecká dráha bola poznačená vnútornými bojmi. Gurneyho poézia, zrodená z hrôz prvej svetovej vojny, sa vyznačuje surovou úprimnosťou a prenikavou citlivosťou, ktorá zachytáva ako osobné utrpenie, tak širšiu ľudskú skúsenosť. Jeho próza, rovnako ako jeho hudba, čelí neustálemu napätiu medzi tvorivou silou a krehkou psychikou, čo z neho robí jedinečnú a dojímavú postavu literárneho a hudobného sveta.

      War's Embers, And Other Verses
    • This fine collection brings together a comprehensive selection, and in his informative introduction Jon Silkin traces the changing mood of the poets - from patriotism through anger and compassion to an active desire for social change. The work of Sassoon, Owen, Blunden and Rosenberg is well represented, but also included are less familiar war poets, such as Hardy and Lawrence, war poems written by women poets and translations of verse from Germany, France, Italy and Russia. The shattering, ironic realism, tenderness and regret reflected in these poems encompass the waste and violence war.
