Bøger af Robert Gibbons

En las costas, muchas de las características de estructura y comportamiento que distinguen las plantas de los animales desaparecen. Las plantas ya no son sólo verdes sino que muestran todo tipo de colores; hay animales que parecen plantas y plantas que semejan animales. Esta nueva guía recoge más de 150 especies que representan a la enorme variedad de grupos biológicos que se pueden encontrar en los litorales de Europa. Las algas, los moluscos, los crustáceos, los insectos y las estrellas de mar son sólo algunas de las curiosas formas vivas que se describen en este libro. Para poner de relieve las detalladas señas de identificación que aparecen en el texto, cada especie está ilustrada con un excelente dibujo a todo color. La introducción explica cómo los diferentes tipos de costa y los ritmos de las mareas afectan al número y variedad de especies que pueden localizarse; también se incluyen consejos de gran utilidad a la hora de planear una excursión a la costa y se contemplan las medidas de seguridad a tener en cuenta. El cada vez mayor número de veraneantes y el deterioro progresivo de la naturaleza en mares y playas debido a la polución ponen en peligro la vida en las costas, por ello la recogida de especímenes para examen no puede más que empeorar la actual situación. Por este motivo, se ha diseñado La Guía de Campo de la Vida Marina del Litoral Europeo de tal forma que pueda consultarse tanto en papel o en ebook para verificar las especies in situ.

This bilingual volume introduces the work of American prose poet Robert Gibbons to a transatlantic audience. The volume shows how multifaceted a poet he is, effortlessly exploring political, aesthetic and emotional themes, such as war, poverty, exile, work, love and the archives of Time. Presenting Danish translations of 64 of the poet's best pieces, juxtaposed with the American original versions, the book also contains a lengthy scholarly introduction by the editor and translator, Bent Sørensen, forming the first sustained academic study of Gibbons' work.

This book is a collection of writing that attempts to transgress boundaries set up to limit poetic expression to formal undertakings. Discarding rhyme, iambic pentameter, and even in most cases the stanza, its less experiment than thrust, need, & method based on turning the erotic charge of life into language. In keeping with these crucial contemporary Times, the work increasingly addresses the world of politics, encompassing as it does an empathy for that seen & unseen Other. The author, coming from a myriad of experiences in the working world: years in the classroom, the factory, the library, including Time at the National Gallery of Art in Washington integrates Time spent into the subjects of the texts, elevating observations to the level of Art. See Goya, see Rauschenberg, hear Bach & Coltrane, visit Paris, Portland, Glasgow, Watts. The reader is invited along, the audience is asked a great deal of, there is no easy reading here, but the price of difficulty is Beauty, as Olson liked to quote Aubrey Beardsley speaking on his deathbed to Yeats. The barriers broken here are shards of Time that one holds in hand, turns over in mind, and ponders for future use in Life.

Close to the Tree is the first full-length collection of breathtaking, distinctive poetry from ROBERT GIBBONS, which surpasses his goal of commemorating the treasure of all who went before him. In this unique work, Gibbons paints so many different shades of color it becomes an art exhibit, according to author Leokadia Durmaj. Art curator and historian Marc Primus notes, “The poetry of Robert Gibbons flows from him like a mighty river. It is powerful lyrical, strong and hip.” And teacher/author Miriam Hipsh remarks, “Mr. Gibbons’ poetry is breathtaking in its imagery. His words paint a heart-wrenching canvas and haunt the reader with deeply emotional truth-telling.”
