Title :
Desideri, sogni, bugieAuthor: Koch Kenneth Publisher: Babalibri Insegnare a scrivere poesie ai bambini li porta ad amare la letteratura, a scoprire i propri sentimenti e ad accrescere le proprie conoscenze in generale. Ma soprattutto li porta a comporre poesie che, quasi sempre, sono migliori di quelle che gli adulti scrivono apposta per loro. Ne era convinto Kenneth Koch, che alla fine degli anni sessanta iniziò a insegnare poesia ai bambini a New York, per poi replicare l'esperimento in Francia e in Italia. Questo libro nasce proprio dalla sua esperienza avvenuta in tre scuole della periferia romana nella primavera del 1978. Un'esperienza che si è rivelata intensa e appassionante sia per Koch sia per gli alunni. Invitati a esprimere i propri sogni, desideri, segreti e bugie, i bambini hanno composto poesie «piene di musica, sentimento, invenzione e candore», come testimoniano gli esempi riportati in questo libro. € 22,00

Title :
Desideri, sogni, bugieAuthor: Koch Kenneth Publisher: La Linea (Bologna) Il poeta americano Kenneth Koch ha dedicato alcuni anni della sua vita a insegnare poesia ai bambini delle scuole elementari e medie, a New York, in Francia e poi, nel 1978, in Italia. Questo libro racconta quest'ultima esperienza, che è poi diventata la principale fonte di ispirazione della didattica della poesia per gli insegnanti del nostro Paese. A distanza di ormai molti anni dall'ultima edizione, i lettori potranno vedere all'opera le principali intuizioni di Koch: la sollecitazione dell'anima creativa dei bambini, alla quale sono offerti intriganti temi da trattare (sogni, emozioni, desideri, identificazioni e segreti); l'impiego giocoso di tecniche di composizione; il libero e democratico ascolto delle poesie scritte dai propri coetanei, ma anche dai grandi poeti (Dante, Leopardi, Cavalcanti, Rimbaud, Blake). Si potrà così nuovamente apprezzare un'esperienza appassionante che continua a suggerire l'importanza di coltivare la libertà espressiva dei bambini e dei ragazzi. L'attuale edizione guadagna un'inedita postfazione dell'autore e l'introduzione di Angela Chiantera. € 25,00

Title :
The Collected Poems of Kenneth KochAuthor: Koch Kenneth Publisher: Alfred a Knopf Inc Kenneth Koch has been called “one of our greatest poets” by John Ashbery, and “a national treasure” in the 2000 National Book Award Finalist Citation. Now, for the first time, all of the poems in his ten collections–from Sun Out, poems of the 1950s, to Thank You, published in 1962, to A Possible World, published in 2002, the year of the poet's death–are gathered in one volume. Celebrating the pleasures of friendship, art, and love, the poetry of Kenneth Koch has been dazzling readers for fifty years. Charter member–along with Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, and James Schuyler–of the New York School of poets, avant-garde playwright and fiction writer, pioneer teacher of writing to children, Koch gave us some of the most exciting and aesthetically daring poems of his generation. These poems take sensuous delight in the life of the mind and the heart, often at the same time: “O what a physical effect it has on me / To dive forever into the light blue sea / Of your acquaintance!” (“In Love with You”). Here is Koch's early work: love poems like “The Circus” and “To Marina” and such well-remembered comic masterpieces as “Fresh Air,” “Some General Instructions,” and “The Boiling Water” (“A serious moment for the water is when it boils”). And here are the brilliant later poems–“One Train May Hide Another,” the deliciously autobiographical address in New Addresses, and the stately elegy “Bel Canto”–poems that, beneath a surface of lightness and wit, speak with passion, depth, and seriousness to all the most important moments in one's existence. Charles Simic wrote in The New York Review of Books that, for Koch, poetry “has to be constantly saved from itself. The idea is to do something with language that has never been done before.” In the ten exuberant, hilarious, and heartbreaking books of poems collected here, Kenneth Koch does exactly that. From the Hardcover edition. € 31,30

Title :
Collected Fiction of Kenneth KochAuthor: Koch Kenneth, Davis Jordan (INT) Publisher: Coffee House Pr “It’s lucky for us all that you’re holding Koch’s collected fiction in your hands right now. Koch’s seasons on our earth were blessed ones and these traces, some of them among his last, are gifts.”—Jonathan Lethem Hilarious and profoundly moving, this volume restores to print all the fiction of the writer John Ashbery called “simply the best we have.” Koch, who once characterized New York School writing as about “the fullness and richness of possibility and excitement and happiness,” imbues his prose with humor, wit, and a beautifully tender exuberance. The Collected Fiction of Kenneth Koch is a must-read for anyone interested in discovering what American literature might still hope to be. Published simultaneously with The Collected Poems of Kenneth Koch (Knopf), Collected Fiction includes Koch’s innocent and rambunctious novel The Red Robins, as well as Hotel Lambosa, his book of semi-autobiographical short pieces inspired equally by Hemingway’s Nick Adams stories and Yasunari Kawabata’s Palm-of-the-Hand Stories. Fans of Koch’s unparalleled gift for comic invention will turn immediately to “The New Orleans Stories,” a cycle about the family of a small-time criminal, published here for the first time along with “The Soviet Room,” a gentle story of requited love at the end of the Cold War. Koch’s previously uncollected work includes a warm-hearted parody of a children’s adventure narrative and a story detailing the mysteries uncovered by an obsessive postcard detective. Together, the work of Kenneth Koch opens up a wonderful world—one where the pursuit of happiness is taken very seriously indeed. Kenneth Koch was born in Cincinnati and served in the South Pacific during World War II. A poet, playwright, novelist, and Columbia University professor, Koch also published several books about teaching and reading poetry, including the groundbreaking Wishes, Lies, and Dreams; Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?; and Making Your Own Days: The Pleasures of Reading and Writing Poetry. He was the recipient of the Bollingen Prize and the Bobbitt Library of Congress Prize, a finalist for the National Book Award, and winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Poetry Award. € 16,10

Title :
New AddressesAuthor: Koch Kenneth Publisher: Alfred a Knopf Inc Kenneth Koch, who has already considerably 'stretched our ideas of what it is possible to do in poetry' (David Lehman), here takes on the classic poetic device of apostrophe, or direct address. His use of it gives him yet another chance to say things never said before in prose or in verse and, as well, to bring new life to a form in which Donne talked to Death, Shelley to the West Wind, Whitman to the Earth, Pound to his Songs, O'Hara to the Sun at Fire Island. Koch, in this new book, talks to things important in his life -- to Breath, to World War Two, to Orgasms, to the French Language, to Jewishness, to Psychoanalysis, to Sleep, to his Heart, to Friendship, to High Spirits, to his Twenties, to the Unknown. He makes of all these 'new addresses' an exhilarating autobiography of a most surprising and unforeseeable kind. From the Hardcover edition. € 17,00

Title :
Making Your Own DaysAuthor: Koch Kenneth Publisher: Touchstone Books In Making Your Own Days, celebrated poet Kenneth Koch writes about poetry as no one has written about it before -- and as if no one had written about it before. Full of fresh and exciting insights and experiences, this book makes the somewhat mysterious subject of poetry clear for those who read it and for those who write it -- and for those who would like to read and write it better. Treating poetry not as a special use of language but, in fact, as a separate language -- unlike the one used in prose and conversation -- Koch is able to clarify the nature of poetic inspiration, how poems are written and revised, and what happens in a reader's mind and feelings while reading a poem. Koch also provides a rich anthology of more than ninety works: lyric poems, excerpts from long poems and poetic plays, poems in English, and poems in translation -- by poets past and present from Homer and Sappho to Lorca, Snyder, and Ashbery. Each selection is accompanied by an illuminating explanatory note designed to complement and clarify the text. In this book, Kenneth Koch's genius for making poetry clear and for bringing out its real pleasures is everywhere apparent. € 15,20
