{"product_id":"poetry-in-exile-josef-hrdlicka-9788024646572","title":"Poetry in Exile: Czech Poets During the Cold War and the Western Poetic Tradition","description":"In this comparative tour de force, Josef Hrdlička--one of the Czech Republic's foremost experts on lyric poetry--examines the impact of exile, literal or spiritual, on poetry. Hrdlička argues that exile serves to disrupt the fundamental elements of poetry, especially its linguistic and cultural framework. Beginning with an examination of exile as a cultural phenomenon in the Western tradition, Hrdlička follows its complex history and treatment by poets from Solon to Celan. Focusing on the specific poetics of exile, he identifies Ovid's elegies as an early model of exile in poetics before tracing the metamorphosis of exile as a concept through the modern age and the very Baudelarian idea that a person can be metaphorically exiled by the act of daily living itself. The core of \u003ci\u003ePoetry in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, however, hews closer to Hrdlička's homeland, homing in on the postwar poetry of Czech exiles. Poets such as Ivan Blatn , Milada Součkov , Ivan Divis, and Petr Kr l are investigated as examples to test the theoretical questions raised in the first part of the book and discover the answers that their individual poems provide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josef Hrdlicka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8024646579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024646572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 6.46w x 0.94d","brand":"Josef Hrdlicka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074678583551,"sku":"9788024646572","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ec18f45-4ac3-4c10-9442-426089dce448.jpg?v=1685455139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-in-exile-josef-hrdlicka-9788024646572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
