Yet her poetry is passionate and direct: 'I am not interested in distorting reality when I play with language.' With translations by such notables as Rae Dalven, Edmund Keeley and Kimon Friar as well as the editor and others, this is the most complete picture yet of this major Greek poet.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516479643921,"sku":"GOR010088013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0856464015.jpg?v=1750980667"},{"product_id":"scattered-papers-of-penelope-book-katerina-anghelaki-rooke-9781555975197","title":"The Scattered Papers of Penelope","description":"\u003cp\u003eA career-spanning collection by one of greece's most loved and lyrical contemporary poets, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eI wasn't weaving, I wasn't knitting\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eI was writing something\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eerasing and being erased\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eunder the weight of the word\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--from \"Penelope Says\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn from the traditions of Greek myth, history, and literature, \u003ci\u003eThe Scattered Papers of Penelope\u003c\/i\u003e is the poet Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke's first full retrospective collection available in English. Carried over from the Greek by an array of noted translators, including the editor, Karen Van Dyck, Anghelaki-Rooke's poetry is bold, sensual, and brash. She reexamines Greek myth and history through the female body--the body of Penelope; the poet's own body, scarred by illness; the bodies of stray animals. Other poems and sequences take the form of a journal kept during the first Gulf War, prose poems about modern violence and the destruction of nature, existential musings on beings and things on their own, and lush descriptions of the domestic world on the poet's adopted home island of Aegina.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Scattered Papers of Penelope\u003c\/i\u003e introduces to American readers a major global poetic voice, a winner of the Greek National Prize for Poetry and the Greek Academy's Poetry Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50001477337361,"sku":"CIN1555975194G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1555975194.jpg?v=1750894291"},{"product_id":"losing-appetite-for-existence-book-katerina-anghelaki-rooke-9781947917675","title":"Losing Appetite For Existence","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaterina Anghelaki-Rooke's final collection of poetry, Losing Appetite for Existence, is enormously cohesive, each poem illustrating another aspect of \"losing one's taste, one's appetite\", a theme apparent from the opening poem, as if the poet wanted to get to the heart of the matter right from the start, to make it clear that a large part of the tastelessness of existence, her loss of appetite for it, was in fact the loss of being personally aroused by her encounter with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52672384139537,"sku":"NLS9781947917675","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53533653926161,"sku":"NIN9781947917675","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781947917675.jpg?v=1762294545"},{"product_id":"beings-and-things-on-their-own-book-katerina-anghelaki-rooke-9780918526465","title":"Beings And Things On Their Own","description":"\u003cbr\u003e The recipient of the 1985 Greek National Poetry Award for the Greek version of Beings and Things on Their Own, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke is the author of seven previous books of poetry in Greek.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52685544816913,"sku":"NLS9780918526465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780918526465.jpg?v=1762325851"},{"product_id":"beings-and-things-on-their-own-book-katerina-anghelaki-rooke-9780918526472","title":"Beings And Things On Their Own","description":"The recipient of the 1985 Greek National Poetry Award for the Greek version of Beings and Things on Their Own, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke is the author of seven previous books of poetry in Greek.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52685867024657,"sku":"NLS9780918526472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780918526472.jpg?v=1762326589"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-katerina-anghelaki-rooke.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
