Per la prima volta in Italia esce per i Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno, RE EZRA di Michael G. Stephens

Per la prima volta in Italia esce per i Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno, RE EZRA di Michael G. Stephens. Per la prima volta in Italia esce per i Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno, RE EZRA di Michael G. Stephens. M. G. Stephens ha scritto un romanzo su una delle figure più controverse del movimento modernista: Ezra Pound. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, Ezra Pound lavorò come propagandista per i fascisti italiani, aiutando la loro causa con le sue regolari trasmissioni radiofoniche. Questa attività portò Pound a essere accusato di tradimento, anche se non fu mai processato per questo. Invece, fu internato per oltre un decennio in un ospedale psichiatrico di Washington, D.C. King Ezra porta il lettore dall'incarcerazione di Ezra Pound da parte dell'esercito statunitense dopo la seconda guerra mondiale fino ai suoi ultimi giorni a Venezia nei primi anni '70. M. G. Stephens attinge alle sue riserve letterarie come poeta, scrittore di narrativa e drammaturgo per raccontare questa tragica storia di un genio imperfetto. La prosa di Stephens può essere veloce e idiomatica o introspettiva e contemplativa, ma è sempre vivida, coinvolgente e sorprendente. "Aveva percorso a piedi la Provenza, da giovane; certo poteva camminare da Roma alle Alpi italiane, malgrado la distanza. Ma il viaggio era improvvisato, ricco di impulsività (si legga: irriducibile indifferenza per il dolore che poteva arrecare a lui, o ad altri) e se lo fece a piedi, saltellando, alle volte, smentendo la propria età (era quasi sessantenne), con gli abiti stracciati, ma del resto tutti avevano abiti stracciati. C'era la guerra, e l'Italia non se la passava bene. L'esito era dubbio. Il nuovo governo s'era insediato a Salò, sulle sponde del Lago di Garda. Lui aveva una mappa. Ma una mappa non era il territorio, pensò. (...)" MG Stephens ha pubblicato 25 libri, inclusi i romanzi Season at Coole e The Brooklyn Book of the Dead. Il 2022 segna il 50° anniversario della pubblicazione di Season at Coole per E.P. Dutton. L'anno precedente (2021), MadHat Press aveva pubblicato l'opera ibrida (prosa e poesia) in cui MG Stephens ha scritto su un attore disoccupato che ottiene la parte di Amleto, il cui titolo è: History of Theatre or the Glass of Fashion. MG Stephens ha ricevuto lodi da romanzieri come Hilma Wolitzer e Richard Price, nonché da poeti come George Szirtes e Michael Anania. I suoi libri di saggistica includono il memoir di viaggio Lost in Seoul (Random House, 1990) e la raccolta di saggi Green Dreams, vincitrice del premio AWP per la saggistica, successivamente selezionata da Joyce Carol Oates come uno dei 100 più importanti libri di saggistica americani del 20° secolo. La sua commedia Our Father è andata in scena a Theatre Row (42° Strada, a New York) per oltre cinque anni è stata più volte rappresentata a Londra, Chicago e Los Angeles. Nel 2001, Stephens si è trasferito all'estero, a Londra, dove ha vissuto per quindici anni. Durante quel periodo è stato attivo sui palcoscenici di Londra e ha prodotto spettacoli per il Pentameters Theatre nel nord di Londra (Hampstead) e per il Bread & Roses Theatre nel sud di Londra (Clapham). Tutti i suoi titoli li ha conseguiti dopo i trent'anni, incluso un dottorato presso l'Università dell'Essex a Colchester, in Inghilterra, che gli è stato assegnato all'età di 60 anni. Prima di trasferirsi all'estero, Stephens ha insegnato seminari di scrittura creativa a Princeton, New York e alla Columbia University; a Londra, ha insegnato all'Università di Londra (Queen Mary). Insieme al suo romanzo King Ezra, Spuyten Duyvil ha recentemente pubblicato il suo terzo romanzo sulla famiglia Coole, Kid Coole, incentrato su un giovane pugile, peso piuma, emergente della Hudson Valley a New York. Season at Coole, The Brooklyn Book of the Dead e Kid Coole costituiscono la Coole Trilogy.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: ORNITHOLOGY by M. G. Stephens

ADVANCE ORDER: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/ornithology-by-m-g-stephens/

M. G. Stephens considers our physical world and its health as portrayed by our own relationship to #birds and their well-being. Here the birds are bellwethers of the Earth’s and our own human survival. But mostly these poems are about that most human of emotions—love—in all its permutations. This poet is not afraid to be lyrical and to love; in fact, he sees the lyrical impulse as poetry’s most natural expression, just as love is the most creative and expressive part of our very humanness. Nowhere is this writer more in love with the music of our natural world than when he is observing the birds which inhabit and share that space with us.

Michael Gregory Stephens is the author of 29 books, including such poetry and prose poem collections as Alcohol Poems, Paragraphs, Tangun Legend, Circles End, Translations (from Korean), Jigs and Reels, After Asia, Occam’s Razor, and Top Boy. More recently he published the hybrid work, History of Theatre or the Glass of Fashion (MadHat Press, 2021), as well as a novel about Modernist poet Ezra Pound entitled King Ezra (Spuyten Duyvil, 2022). In 2023, as well as Ornithology, Stephens will have a collection of stories, Jesus’ Dog, published. Next year his memoir When Poetry Was the World is due out. M. G. Stephens was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and further out on Long Island, the third of sixteen children. He published his first book, the novel Season at Coole with E. P. Dutton over fifty years ago, and continues to write and publish regularly. He graduated from City College of New York and Yale University, and later in life, living in England, he wrote a Ph.D., at the University of Essex, on the early years of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s in the Bouwerie. When Poetry Was the World, his memoir, is based on that doctoral research. Currently he lives north of Chicago in Evanston, Illinois.

PRAISE FOR ORNITHOLOGY by M. G. Stephens

“…alive, greatly detailed, poignant…”

—Anne Waldman, author of Fast Speaking Woman

“Michael Gregory Stephens teaches us how to look at things we have never seen before–and to make them part of what we know about ourselves.”

—Paul Auster, author of The New York Trilogy

“Crossed by light, wind, memory and love of things fragile, M. G. Stephens’ little poetry boats carry forth the human burden. These are the words of one of America’s best loved lit sailors.”

—Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator, poet and essayist

“M.G. Stephens’ writing is the seasoned work of a pure poet, a marriage of the concise and lyrical, suffused with both moments of keenly observed humanity and flights of luminous rumination.”

—Richard Price, author of The Wanderers and Lush Life

“Michael Gregory Stephens is a brilliant writer, with a great imagination and heart. And his words are downright gorgeous. I love the way his meditations veer with daring and grace between the poetry and the spoken, between art and life.”

—Hilma Wolitzer, author of Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket

We are very grateful to the members of Pavement for asking us to play one of their 4 (!, nearly sold-out?!) shows at Brooklyn's beautiful Kings Theatre on Oct. 1st While things may change, it is our plan and hope to do this as a 4-piece: 2 guitars, bass and plywood crate.

Here's a ticket link in case: https://www.ticketmaster.com/pavement-brooklyn-new-york-10-01-2022/event/30005B5BE1432E0B
