How did China grow from an impoverished country to become the second largest economy in the world in just over four decades? And how did this economic miracle come to an end, as seems the case today? To understand the story of China's rapid rise and equally rapid fall, author Anne Stevenson-Yang takes us back to the beginning, when Deng Xiaoping took over and opened its moribund economy to Western money and know-how. Stevenson-Yang, who lived ...

CHINA' S SEAMY UNDERSIDE Kitty and her teenage friends, squatting in an empty apartment, are looking for gas to cook instant noodles. Bai Song and his wife, who live in the unit across the hallway, have a well-equipped kitchen with all the mod cons. Plus they're old and retired, meaning they're ripe for a bit of rough fun, Clockwork Orange-style. China at the turn of the century. Everything is upside down. Respect for your elders? You've got b...

Anne Stevenson's Collected Poems draws on sixteen previous collections to showcase the work of this major American and British poet. Rooted in close observation of the world and acute psychological insight, her poems continually question how we see and think about the world. They are incisive as well as entertaining, marrying critical rigour with personal feeling, and a sharp wit with an original brand of serious humour. Her posthumously publ...

The sixteenth collection from one of Britain's most distinguished poets. Stevenson expresses her feelings upon reaching her eighties, taking stock of her survival of the past and the bewildering nature of the historical present.

Anne Stevenson, una delle poetesse anglo-americane più incisive e unanimamente riconosciute dal secondo Novecento ad oggi, per la prima volta tradotta in Italia in un'antologia che ne presenta la qualità, l'altezza e lo spessore di tale voce. I componimenti, tradotti e curati da Carla Buranello, offrono al lettore il percorso fecondo e luminoso, fatto di incontri, viaggi, analisi del proprio cammino esistenziale, secondo una dialettica e una p...

Anne Stevenson is one of Britain's leading poets. Astonishment, published just before her 80th birthday, is her second new collection since her much praised Bloodaxe retrospective Poems 1955-2005.

Commissioned by the Intergovernmental Meeting (IGM) of the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), this book offers a detailed survey of the current status of climate change and climate variability in the Asia-Pacific region, a thorough and thoughtful assessment of climate and security and clear recommendations on the best paths of climate research in the future. The opening chapter addresses current understanding of the interac...

Critics may be both invigorated and infuriated by this collection of essays by poet Anne Stevenson--who believes that the "takeover" of poetry by critical theorists has, in recent years, all but brought about its demise in England and America. Her essays on Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Irish poetry, and other subjects upset existing assumptions of the "postmodern" era.

Represents a view of her work Elizabeth Bishop herself would have recognised and approved. A chronology and a set of maps serve as practical guides to the poet's life and travels.

In the Orchard' is not so much a collection of poems about birds as a book of memories and rare moments in which a number of familiar birds have played a spark-like role in bringing poems about. They are chiefly lyrical in character and range in time from 'Resurrection' written over fifty years ago to recent poems like 'The Bully Thrush'.

The poems of Stone Milk address the way the written word preserves yet distorts the lives depending on it for fame or survival. Anne Stevenson's highly engaging new collection opens with A Lament for the Makers, an experimental sequence based on medieval dream poetry that plays with a Dantesque yet modern, scientific vision of an underworld of poets. This is followed by a series of shorter poems, mostly related to aging and the prospect (even ...
