Brother - Matthew Dickman - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Brother - Matthew Dickman - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A dual-authored volume of poems from the multi-award winning Dickman twins - leading voices in America''s outstanding generation of younger poets. Although the brothers extol differing inspirations (Matthew writes with the ebullience of Frank O''Hara, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Michael with the control of William Carlos Williams and Emily Dickinson), they are unified by the unflinching, remarkable verse they wrote when their older sibling tragically took his own life. It is these moving, grieving but life-affirming poems that solely comprise this dual-authored volume. Published in an inventive tête-bêche edition, the poems appear head-to-toe, communing in the middle, making Brother a searing but ultimately up-lifting journey of grief, love and family.''Michael''s poems are interior, fragmentary, and austere, often stripped down to single-word lines; they seethe with incipient violence. Matthew''s are effusive, ecstatic, and all-embracing, spilling over with pop-cultural references and exuberant carnality . . . together, the resonance of the work is amplified.'' New Yorker Matthew Dickman is the author of All-American Poem (2008), 50 American Plays (co-written with his twin brother Michael Dickman, 2012), Mayakovsky''s Revolver (2012), Wish You Were Here (2013) and 24 HOURS (2014). He is the recipient of The May Sarton Award from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Kate Tufts Award from Claremont College and a 2015 Guggenheim award. Matthew Dickman is the Poetry Editor of Tin House magazine. He lives in Portland, Oregon.Michael Dickman is the author of three books of poems, The End of the West (2009), Flies (2011, Winner of the James Laughlin Award), and Green Migraine (2015), as well as a book of plays, 50 American Plays , co-written with his twin brother, Matthew Dickman, in 2012.

My Brother Benjamin - Beth Britten - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

My Brother Benjamin - Beth Britten - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

''People are always asking, ''Aren''t you proud of your famous brother?'' I was, of course, but often wished he was not so famous so that one could see more of this brother who was such a joy to be with. Janet Baker has written that the air crackled when he walked into the room, and she was right...'' The younger of Benjamin Britten''s two sisters, Elizabeth (''Beth'') Britten first published this loving and revealing portrait of their shared childhood in 1986. She evokes the Lowestoft upbringing of the four Britten siblings, their dentist father Robert, and mother Edith, who keenly encouraged the children''s interest in music. She recalls the flat they shared in London while Benjamin studied at the Royal College of Music; and tells of ''The Old Mill at Snape'', Britten''s home/studio after its renovation by Beth''s future father-in-law. Of special interest are Britten''s letters to Beth from America, where he and Peter Pears emigrated in 1939 then became ensconced after war broke out.

When My Brother Was an Aztec - Natalie Diaz - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

When My Brother Was an Aztec - Natalie Diaz - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY When My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention – one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history. Natalie Diaz’s arresting debut explores a brother’s addiction and its devastating effects on a household, while offering a political critique of our nations and their pasts. It acknowledges absences and uncomfortable silences, as well as conjuring vivid voices and presences, from Antigone and Houdini to Huitzilopochtli and Jesus.Stolen cowboy boots, violins on fire; a mariachi band playing in the bathroom, a black bayonet carried between the shoulder blades; the beauty of busted fruit, the sight of hellish visions - Diaz both revels and reveals through her distinctive use of language and imagery, bringing to life every intimate and communal encounter, blooming abundance from scarcity. The result is a wrenching portrayal of sacrifice, want, despair and fortitude that feels truly transformative.

The Cardinal King - Brian Fothergill - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Cardinal King - Brian Fothergill - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

When the last and the most significant of the Jacobite uprisings, that of 1745, ended in disaster Prince Henry, the younger brother of Bonnie Prince Charlie, was in his early twenties. Almost at once he exasperated his brother and antagonized his followers by accepting a cardinal''s hat. For eighteen years the brothers never spoke to each other and were not reconciled until the Old Pretender''s death in 1766. Then the Cardinal, who had become one of the richest and most splendid of the princes of the Church, a prelate famous for his love of art and for his lavish hospitality, once again took up the Jacobite cause. . Vainly he tried to obtain recognition for his brother as King of England; and he found himself involved, too, in a European scandal when Price Charles''s wife ran off with the poet Alfieri. On his brother''s death Henry Stuart was acknowledged by Jacobites as Henry IX. The outbreak of the French Revolution reduced him to sudden poverty; and when the mob looted his palace he was compelled to flee. In this distress the last of the Stuarts was rescued by George 111; a pension was offered and gratefully accepted; and with the Cardinal''s death in 1807 the tragic history of his House came at last to an end.Brian Fothergill''s metier was the byways of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century history.It is eloquently demonstrated in all his books the following of which are being reissued in Faber Finds: The Strawberry Hill Set , Nicholas Wiseman , The Mitred Earl and The Cardinal King . ''Brian Fothergill has written a sympathetic study of this gallant old relic, the epitome of 18th century elegance, who came up smiling, and refused to abate a jot of his claims when the world he knew had fallen about his ears.'' Daily Telegraph ''As a portrait of Henry and as a picture of his age, Brian Fothergill''s The Cardinal King based on new research, is both scholarly and vital, permeated with the quiet humour that makes for sound perspective.''

Disraeli's Grand Tour - Robert Blake - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Disraeli's Grand Tour - Robert Blake - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

''Lively and entertaining... [ Disraeli''s Grand Tour ] concentrates on one colourful episode, or sequence of episodes, in the young Disraeli''s life: the tour through the Mediterranean and Near East which he undertook with the man who was intended to become his brother-in-law. On the way they were joined by raffish Wykhamist James Clay, a friend of Disraeli''s brother, and also by Tita Falcieri, who had formerly been a servant to Byron. Indeed... much of the tour might almost be considered a Byronic pilgrimage of a kind... Lord Blake suggests that [Disraeli''s] travels in the provinces of the Ottoman Empire inclined him, when in office many years later, to take a more favourable attitude to Turkish power than was common among Englishmen of his time. However, the author is more interested in tracing the effects of the visit to the Holy Land on Disraeli''s view of his own position as a Jew converted to Christianity and an aspirant man-of-letters and politician.''
