Pretty much everyone who completed high school has read "Dulce et Decorum set," Owens' most well-knopwn contribution to 20th-century poetry, but why don't we ever cover anything else that he wrote? Sure, his early work (collected here as "Juvenalia") is a touch predictable in its mimicry of previous poets, but when read in context with the entirety of his work we can see a real progression of literary talent. I kind of wish that the editor had attempted to reconstruct a chronological presentation, since the grouping in "war poems," "juvenilia," and others is rendered useless by the inclusion of poems whose subject is clearly war in every section! I'm sure the point was to make a delineation between poems written on the Front and those written pre-war or during his convalescence, but I would have been much more satisfied to see things organized neatly by publication/writing time so we could see more of the poet's development. Clearly Owens didn't live long enough to develop much scope, but seeing his mentality towards war evolve would be extremely useful in the context of the early 20th-century mindset. Not poetry for poetry, but poetry expressing sorrow and futility of war. "Earth's wheels run oiled with blood." "Happy are those who lose imagination: They have enough to carry with ammunition." Owen died on November 4, 1918 exactly one week before the armistice, almost to the hour. His mother received the telegram informing her of his death as the church bells were ringing, celebrating the end of the war. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In award-winning legal scholar and novelist Yxta Maya Murray's new novel, federal agent Reyna Rodriguez reports on real-life nuclear reactor meltdowns and accidents that occurred in 1959, 1964, and 1968 at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. An infamous research and development complex in California's Simi Valley, the lab was eventually dismantled by the US government--but not before it created a toxic legacy of contamination and numerous cancer clusters. Toxins and nuclear residue may have been further released by the 2018 Woolsey Fire and 2019 floods in the area."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
