NYRB never disappoints! Get your poetry cravings fixed with some great new editions! So good! At the Louvre A unique collaboration between New York Review Books and the Louvre Museum, At the Louvre presents a hundred poems, newly commissioned exclusively for this volume, by a hundred of the world’s most vibrant poets. They write about works from the museum’s collection. They write about the museum and its history. They write what they see and feel, and together they take us on a tour of the Louvre and its galleries like no other, one that is an irresistible feast for the ear and mind and eye. Set Change Set Change draws on the poetry Andrukhovych wrote in the eighties and nineties, before he turned his attention to prose. The collection shows him beginning on a quest to represent and do justice to Ukraine’s long history of violence. He explores the overlapping and shifting borders of Eastern Europe, while also venturing into realms of fantasy and myth. Again and again, he returns to the idea of the city as a space of carnivalesque disguise and discovery. Drawing on the rich resources of Ukrainian literature, from the amplitude of the baroque to the austerely powerful configurations of the lost modernist generation, Andrukhovych’s poems are ironic and elegiac, witty and allusive, lyrical, experimental, and political. As translated into English by John Hennessy and Ostap Kin, they offer readers a powerfully transformative vision of the place of poetry in a fractured world. #nyrb #nyrbpoets #poetry #poetrylovers #book #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bokish #bookstore #indiebookstore #setchange #yuriandrukhovich #ostapkin #poets #bilingualpoetry #athelouvre #contemporaryworldpoetry
