Kei Miller Książki

Pearline ma niezwykły dar - potrafi wyczuwać zbliżające się trzęsienia ziemi i huragany. Na Jamajce, gdzie mieszka, ostrzega ludzi przed różnymi kataklizmami. Gdy przenosi się do Anglii w charakterze "żony na zamówienie", w cywilizowanym świecie nikt nie ufa jej przepowiedniom. Dopiero tajemniczy Pan Pisarz wierzy słowom Peraline. Jednak jego intencje nie są do końca szczere. Pan Pisarz ma nikczemny plan wykorzystania historii z życia dziewczyny.

In this moving and lyrical collection of essays, the award-winning poet and novelist Kei Miller explores the silence in which so many important things are kept. He examines the experience of discrimination through this silence and what it means to breach it: to risk words, to risk truths. And he considers the histories our bodies inherit - the crimes that haunt them, and how meaning can shift as we move throughout the world, variously assuming privilege or victimhood.Through letters to James Baldwin, encounters with Derek Walcott, Liam Neeson, Soca, Carnival, family secrets, love affairs, white women's tears, questions of aesthetics and more, Miller powerfully and imaginatively recounts everyday acts of racism and prejudice.

The highly anticipated new collection from Forward Prize-winner Kei Miller explores his strangest landscape yet - the placeless place. Here is a world in which it is both possible to hide and to heal, a landscape as much marked by magic as it is by murder.

Driven by atmosphere more than plot, the language is as clear as spring water OBSERVER 20160710 The DAILY MAIL said of his writing 'He is being marketed as a cross between Andrea Levy and Alexander McCall Smith, but he is probably a better writer than either'.

From the WINNER OF THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION 2014, a 'humorous, bittersweet fiction, combin[ing] the fantastical realism of Marquez with the domestic comedy of Andrea Levy' INDEPENDENT

Die Poesie lebt – doch die ungeheure Vielfalt der Dichter aller Sprachen, aller Länder von Albanien bis Zypern ist nahezu unbekannt. So ist es höchste Zeit für eine neue, aufregende Bestandaufnahme: Nach den legendären Vorgängern „Museum der modernen Poesie“ von Hans Magnus Enzensberger (1960) und „Atlas der neuen Poesie“ von Joachim Sartorius (1995) machen sich Jan Wagner und Federico Italiano auf eine faszinierende Reise. Die „Grand Tour“ durch die junge Lyrik Europas gibt poetischen Proviant für Jahre: Unbekanntes, Überraschendes und Unerhörtes - in Original und Übersetzung. Eine Entdeckungsreise für wache Geister.
