  • The Book of the Twelve Prophetsby David R. Slavitt

    Oxford University Press, USA 1999; US$ 74.99

    This is a glittering new translation of the portion of the Hebrew Bible known as the Book of the Twelve Prophets, or the Twelve "Minor" Prophets. In the Bible, the books of the prophets are arranged in rough order of length. The present group of writings thus appears after the so-called "major" prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel),... more...

  • The Seven Deadly Sins and Other Poemsby David R. Slavitt

    LSU Press 2009; US$ 17.95

    In The Seven Deadly Sins and Other Poems, veteran poet David R. Slavitt touches on topics from the mundane to the mysterious with his signature wit and intelligence. In “Stupid,” for instance, he transforms a simple head cold into an appreciation for the richness of consciousness, and in “Waking,” the very effort of rising from... more...

  • Civil Warsby David R. Slavitt

    LSU Press 2013; US$ 9.99

    Civil Wars conjures the mutterings of old men: meditations?despondent yet playfully witty and bold?on the meaning of life and death, the reasoning for human action or inaction, and misremembered memories. Nothing proves too lofty or too trifling for the poet?s scrutiny. Slavitt?s attention roves from the carnage inflicted by of the Achaeans at Troy,... more...

    The fact that Cavlacanti's friend, Dante Alighieri, was a supremely fine poet ought not blind us to Cavalcanti's own, rather different excellence. Both men were attracted to the dolce stil nuovo, the "sweet new style" that emerged in thirteenth-century Florence. While Dante's poetry was devoted to his childhood sweetheart,... more...

  • The Gnat and Other Minor Poems of Virgilby Virgil; Gordon Williams; David R. Slavitt

    University of California Press 2011; US$ 22.95

    These delightful poems?by turns whimsical, beautiful, and vulgar?seem to have primarily survived because they were attributed to Virgil. But in David R. Slavitt?s imaginative and appealing translations, they stand firmly on their own merits. Slavitt brings to this little-known body of verse a fresh voice, vividly capturing the tone and style of the... more...
