This book brings together first-hand poets: Amir Or, Fiona Sampson, and Ioana Ieronim. Amir Or writes poems of today in a language whose richness is almost timeless. The reader will discover in his poetry the very beginning of Europeanism and all its present languages.

The editor of Let’s Speak You is a young student of the MA Programme for the Translation of the Contemporary Literary Text, whose dream is to become a professional literary translator.

Ariadne’s Veil by Ioana Ieronim (online poetry collection)

Lasă un comentariu

Contemporary Literature Press, under The University of Bucharest, in conjunction with The British Council, The Romanian Cultural Institute, and The Embassy of the Republic of Ireland, announces the publication of „Ariadne’s Veil”, a poetry collection written in English by Ioana Ieronim: „Less than three months ago, we published a book of fiction written in the Romanian language by Doris Plantus, who teaches at an American university. We are now publishing a book of poetry written in the English language, this time, by the Romanian poet Ioana Ieronim. Although the former was born in America, and the latter in Romania, both writers have similar interests: they are also translators from and into Romanian, having translated for the screen and the stage at some point, and both of them are culturally very active promoting Romanian literature. What is more, Ioana Ieronim was the Romanian cultural attaché in Washington for four years in the 1990’s”.

Ioana Ieronim is now a „freelancer”. She translates poetry into Romanian, she writes poetry in both Romanian and English, she even writes theatre plays. It must be added that she has also translated some of Shakespeare’s plays into Romanian.

This book of 41 poems, all written in English, has something about it that strikes the reader: it is crystal clear.

Ariadne’s Veil has two heroes: Ariadne and Theseus. According to the ancient myth, Ariadne helped Theseus come out alive from the labyrinth. She spun a thread for him to follow. That thread is the poem itself. As for the meaning of the thread, the veil, and the labyrinth — possibly connected to the Romanian city of Râşnov, more than 800 years old, where Ioana Ieronim spent her childhood years —, the reader will find all those things out while reading her poems. They may seem clear, but that is only a first impression. The challenge is to find Daedalus behind Ariadne and Theseus and their thread.

Byron si formarea Europei contemporane – volum online

Lasă un comentariu

carte noua, ediție online
Potrivit unui comunicat de presa, Contemporary Literature Press, sub auspiciile următoarelor foruri: Universitatea din București, The British Council, Institutul Cultural Român și Ambasada Republicii Irlanda, anunță publicarea volumului


Andi Bălu

George Gordon, Lord Byron

Studiu monografic

Editat de Lidia Vianu.

 

ISBN 978-606-8366-28-9

În jurul anilor când lordul Byron lupta pentru libertate în Italia și Grecia, România trecea prin lupte similare: revolta din 1821 împotriva domnilor „fanarioți” impuși de turci Țărilor Române, revoluția de afirmare națională din 1848 (când începe munca lexicografilor români, cu Petru Maior, Samuil Micu, Gheorghe Șincai și Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu), și, în cele din urmă, câștigarea independenței, despărțirea de Imperiul Otoman — un imperiu care se și destramă odată cu Primul Război Mondial. Byron s-a născut și a trăit la izvorul acestor evenimente. Viața și opera lui sunt în fapt scena politică a Europei care se pregătea pentru Modernitate. James Joyce însuși — marele Modernist și primul mare European — vede importanța fenomenului Byron pentru cultură și istorie atunci când alege Plevna ca loc-cheie în romanul său Ulise.  Astfel se explică publicarea acestui studiu monografic românesc scris de profesorul Andi Bălu despre poetul care a lucrat până la sfârșitul scurtei sale vieți la poemul Don Juan. Criticul român încearcă în anul 2013 să refacă drumul cultural către ceea ce numim azi Uniunea Europeană, cu toate limbile vorbite în ea.
