Selected Poems (Modern European Poets S.)

ビザンティン的な神話や宗教的イメージをまとった連作詩集で、神性、苦難、愛という主題を、断片的で夢幻的な語りのなかに織り込む。後年のディワーン三部作の出発点として、Ekelöf の実験精神と象徴性が凝縮された作品。

神話と祈りが交差する、ディワーン三部作の出発点。

Gunnar Ekelöf の後期創作を代表する詩篇集で、ビザンティン世界を媒介に、個人的な幻視と普遍的な苦難を接続する。三部作の第1部として、後続の『Sagan om Fatumeh』『Vägvisare till underjorden』へつながる重要な位置を占める。

Amazon.co.jp: Selected Poems (Modern European Poets S.) : Ekelof, Gunnar, Auden, W. H., Sjoberg, L.: 洋書

Gunnar Ekelof - toward the end of his career - approximated a purity of style with: simple language and highly intense, historically, philosophically, and theologically aware symbolism. This yielded an amazing translatability. His poems speak to the universal unconscious and their elegance and beauty is a testament to a lifetime spent in search and manifestation. To say he is a neglected poet is truly correct, since many less translatable poets find their voice in many more languages across the world! These selections are a treat, forming part of the "Byzantine Tryptich". Three spooky volumes of incredibly lovely and gorgeous writing any library would do well to have! Highly recommended!!!!
great
