An experimental poetic adventure / David Hadbawnik -- Introduction. Locating Beowulf / Daniel C. Remein -- Beowulf : a translation. 330 $aA stunning experimental translation of the Old English poem "Beowulf," over 30 decades old and woefully neglected, by the contemporary poet Thomas Meyer, who studied with Robert Kelly at Bard, and emerged from the niche of poets who had been impacted by the brief moment of cross-pollination between U.K. and U.S. experimental poetry in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a movement inspired by Ezra Pound, fueled by interactions among figures like Ed Dorn, J.H. Prynne, and Basil Bunting, and quickly overshadowed by the burgeoning Language Writing movement. Meyer's translation -- completed in 1972 but never before published -- is sure to stretch readers' ideas about what is possible in terms of translating Anglo-Saxon poetry, as well as provide new insights on the poem itself. According to John Ashberry, Meyer's translation of this thousand-year-old poem is a "wonder," and Michael Davidson hails it as a "major accomplishment" and a "vivid" recreation of this ancient poem's "modernity." 606 $aDragons$vPoetry 606 $aMonsters$vPoetry 606 $aEpic poetry, English (Old) 607 $aScandinavia$vPoetry 608 $aPoetry. 610 $aBeowulf 610 $aOld English poetry 610 $amodern translation 610 $aavant-garde poetry 615 0$aDragons 615 0$aMonsters 615 0$aEpic poetry, English (Old) 676 $a829.3 700 $aHadbawnik$b David$4edt$01251869 702 $aMeyer$b Thomas$f1947- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140443703321 996 $aBeowulf: A Translation$94157873 997 $aUNINA
