A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Ray Pospisil, a Brooklyn based poet and journalist, was born in Bogota, Colombia, and early in his life moved with his parents to Union, New Jersey. He spent most of his life in New York City. Ray was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Rutgers University. He worked as an energy and environment journalist working for Fairchild Publications sand then McGraw-Hill and later became a freelance journalist working mostly for McGraw-Hill publications,. Ray had a passion for poetry and often read in the East Village and in Manhattan. His work has been published by Lyric, Iambs & Trochees, The Newport Review, Rogue Scholars and others. In 2006, his chapbook of poems, Some Time Before the Bell, was published by Modern Metrics. Ray died tragically on January 28, 2008, aged 54. In the months before he died The Seven Towers Agency, a creative arts agency and publisher based in Dublin, Ireland, agreed to publish a full length collection of Ray s work. His posthumous poetry collection, The Bell , is a book of remarkable precision, feeling, and sense of beauty among the squalor of urban life in the early twenty-first century. A mixture of anger, humor, compassion, and a deep, hard-earned love for life in spite of its many disappointments make this a collection that readers will treasure throughout their own lives. Although Pospisil is gone, his deft formal skills and depth of emotion remain with us through these poems. Ray s book The Bell is illustrated with photographs of bells from Stamullen and Gormanston in Co Meath in Ireland.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Brilliant first Collection by the late Ray Pospisil - a book of remarkable precision, feeling and clarity filled with unforgettable poems. see full description below. "...Of course it has become commonplace on book-jackets to claim that the author manages to find the extraordinary within the ordinary, but for all the typicality of that praise, most poems that start ordinary end ordinary. Ray's work, infused as it was with a restless imagination that never shied away when things turned too dark, managed to break through the chrysalis of mere coping to reveal a world that was more exquisite than one had reckoned, and at the same time far more disquieting...." Taken from the introductory speech given by quincy R lehr at the launch of "the Bell" by Ray Pospisil at the Nightingale Lounge Manhattan, New York, 17th June 2009
