David Rosenmann-Taub: Poems and Commentaries

David Rosenmann-Taub:Poems and Commentariesbreaks with conventional norms.Until now, nobody has undertaken a commented anthology of the poems of Rosenmann-Taub except for the poet himself.In addition, although the Chilean poet has been publishing for seventy years, a broad understanding of his thematic preoccupations is still lacking.After formulating interpretative strategies to understand the poems, Kenneth Gorfkle developed his own approach to the expression and communication of that understanding:glosses that paraphrase the poems and thus express the totality of their substance.His selection of poems that illustrate the poet's concerns give the reader a broad general vision of Rosenmann-Taub's thought, as well.Comprised of forty-four poems, each with its own gloss, the book is a tour de force for enthusiasts of Rosenmann-Taub's work, academics dedicated to poetry at all levels, and poetry lovers in general.This revised edition represents a reformulation and refinement of the concepts of the commentaries in the first edition.
