Ducks
Reviewed by: Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton Graziano Krätli KATE BEATON Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands Montreal. Drawn & Quarterly. 2022. 430 pages. IN THE FIRST two frames of Ducks, Kate Beaton introduces herself as the protagonist of this very personal and profoundly moving memoir: "This story starts in 2005. I am twenty-one years old." Then, almost as an afterthought: "This is me at twenty-one. I'm much older now, and thre…

White Pine Press. 2022. 100 pages. UNDERFOOT may be the "first Sámi poetry translated into English in the U.S.," as the publisher states, but I daresay that its uniqueness and appeal lie more in the book as a creative artifact—and in poetry as verbo-visual communication—t…

Giuseppe UngarettiAllegria by Geoffrey Brock
precious resources that lie in the ground could be the salvation of the Dené. But tying an entire culture’s future to the price of a barrel of oil is too risky for others. As one Dené elder tells Sacco, “The government pulled people out of the bush to put their children in schools, and they graduated from their independence [on] the land into a money-based economy with no jobs.” Sacco provides no answers in what is his finest, most layered work t…
Sergio ChejfecNotes Toward a Pamphlet by Whitney DeVos
better to read one’s models or masters well than disguising who they are. For the canonical critic Ignacio Echevarr ía, Poeta chileno is not a novelistic epigone but primarily a charming, very rare, and disconcerting tribute to the poet’s vocation; a poignant settling of scores (in the third part Pato says, “He wasn’t a great poet, Bolaño”). The reception is equally enthusiastic in Spanish-language publications that are decisive in evaluating cur…

Perspectives: An Anthology of Telugu Short Stories. Trans. Srinivas Rayaprol. Goa, India. Under the Peepal Tree. 2016. 192 pages. Perspectives: An Anthology of Telugu Short Stories is a collection of nineteen short stories by as many authors (sixteen men and three women), selected and translated from the Telugu by Srinivas Rayaprol (1925–98), arguably one of postcolonial India’s most interesting and least-appreciated anglophone poets.

First Hand
Elisabeth Åsbrink. 1947. Stockholm. Natur & Kultur. 2016. 296 pages. This fascinating, episodic study of the year 1947 is a microhistory of events, often meaningful for social rather than political reasons, that includes close-ups of the author’s family background. Elisabeth Åsbrink focuses on events in Europe with excursions to the Middle East and the United States. By 1947 the post–World War II chaos had settled a little; people had begun to de…

Saleem Peeradina. Heart’s Beast: New and Selected Poems. New Delhi. Copper Coin. 2017. 166 pages. As a publication format, the “new and selected poems” allows a poet’s corpus to grow incrementally and retrospectively at the same time, with each new collection adding a group of recent, uncollected poems to a selection from previous books. It gives poets an opportunity to remain in print, although one offset by the challenge of self-assessment and …
Crossing points and connecting lines
Like any other form of art, poetry depends upon social networks for its creation, circulation, appreciation and preservation. In turn, social networks are defined by cultural and historical circumstances. The flourishing of anglophone poetry in postcolonial Bombay provides a good case to for studying the significance and impact of social networks on the naturalization of literary modernism in a particular period and place. In this context, the pa…
Il pleuvait des oiseaux by Jocelyne Saucier
62 World Literature Today reviews French masters. In Imre Goldstein’s excellent translation, the English is clear, crisp, unfailingly on target. I would go as far as saying that his feat is almost as formidable as that of the author, who is indeed in the masters’ league. For Péter Nádas can conjure up a place, an age, a moment so fully and vividly as only the best literature can. (Editorial note: To read Sanders’s extended review of Parallel Stor…
