The poems are composed in a variety of styles and metres, from sonnets to free verse; and in a range of moods, from grief to hilarity. Although deeply personal, the collection includes 18 poems (cannily selected and translated by the author) from Sappho, Lucretius, Dante, Cecco, Cavalcanti, Petrarch, Campanella, Leopardi, Pascoli, Cardarelli, Hugo, Baudelaire, Mallarme', Stefan George, Hesse, and Rilke, Several of the poems and translations are prefaced or followed by the author's explanatory notes and comments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePOIKILOPAIDIA incorporates the 22 poems previously published (in \u003cem\u003eTwilight with Halfmoon Rising: Selected Poems, \u003c\/em\u003eby Peter Gimpel (1991).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Carroll Gimpel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0985519940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985519940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Heifer Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Peter Carroll Gimpel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474005311743,"sku":"9780985519940","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_322b81d3-87e0-4182-808d-ec9701edec2f.jpg?v=1762314365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poikilopaidia-peter-carroll-gimpel-9780985519940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
