Oèarování
Výbor z poezie
Výbor z díla významného amerického èernošského básníka støední generace, oceòovaného pro bohatý jazykový i tematický zábìr tvorby prosycené autorovým hudebním cítìním, prožitkem vietnamské váleèné zkušenosti a smyslem pro inspiraci klasickými i syrovì souèasnými jazykovými projevy. Èeským ètenáøùm je Komunyakaa, nositel prestižní Pulitzerovy ceny za r. 1994, spolu prakticky se všemi svými básnickými vrstevníky zatím prakticky neznámý s výjimkou nìkolika èasopiseckých ukázek; výbor z jeho dosavadních jedenácti sbírek v uspoøádání a pøekladu Josefa Jaøaba je proto významným prvním krokem k mapování skuteènì souèasné americké poezie. Yusef Komunyakaa (1947) pracoval jako váleèný zpravodaj ve Vietnamu, dnes pùsobí jako profesor anglického jazyka a literatury na Indiana University. Je autorem šesti básnických knih, spolu se Saschou Feinsteinem uspoøádal r. 1991 Antologii jazzové poezie. Je nositelem Pulitzerovy ceny za sbírku Øeèí neonù (1993) a nìkolika dalších ocenìní.

Yusef Komunyakaa: Online Poems Elegy for Thelonious
Damn the snow.
Its senseless beauty
pours a hard light
through the hemlock.
Thelonious is dead. Winter
drifts in the hourglass;
notes pour from the brain cup.
damn the alley cat
wailing a muted dirge
off Lenox Ave. Thelonious is dead. Tonight's a lazy rhapsody of shadows swaying to blue vertigo Black trees in the wind. Crepuscule with Nellie plays inside the bowed head. "Dig the Man Ray of piano!" O Satisfaction, hot fingers blur on those white rib keys. Coming on the Hudson. Monk's Dream. The ghost of bebop from 52nd Street, footprints in the snow. Damn February. Let's go to Minton's & play "modern malice" till daybreak. Lord, there's Thelonious wearing that old funky hat pulled down over his eyes. from Copacetic Online Source A Break from the Bush The South China Sea drives in another herd. The volleyball's a punching bag: Clem's already lost a tooth Frozen airlifted steaks burn machine guns can be heard.

Komunyakaa's most recent collection is Talking Dirty to the Gods (2000, FSG), and his earlier collections include Thieves of Paradise (1998, Univ Press of New England), which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, Neon Vernacular (1993), which received the Pulitzer Prize, Magic City (1992) and Dien Cai Dau
Yusef Komunyakaa currently teaches at Princeton, where he is a professor in the Council of Humanities and the Creative Writing Program. In 1999, he was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.
