Ardour: Poems from the Daud Merel van Slobbe “It’s typical of the narrative

“It’s typical of the narrative persona conveyed in much of Peter Manson’s previous work that “The Baffle Stage”

Modderige vlaktes blijven achter en er duiken schimmige figuren op die zichzelf de engelen noemen

And as it flows it effects changes

Deze uitgave vormt het tweede deel van de reeks 'De literaire getuige'

Ardour: Poems from the Daud Merel van Slobbe “It’s typical of the narrativeMatthew Rana Ardour is a dialogue with Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalibs (c. 17971869) Urdu Divan. Addressing a beloved in whose name it is also inscribed, Ardour is a cry of intimacy and separation resonant with the affective intensities of form. It is the latest instalment of Ranas serial poem The Daud, an inquiry into Urdu poetry and the ghazal, ongoing since 2003.
