Collected Poems
Paul Auster
The figure of the young American poet living in Paris is familiar from Paul Auster's celebrated novels; here that character is realised in Auster's own stunningly accomplished verse. His penetrating and charged poetry resembles little else in recent American literature. This collection of his poems, translations, and composition notes from early in his career furnish yet further evidence of his literary mastery.
Taut, densely lyrical and
everywhere informed by a powerful and subtle music, this selection begins with
the compact verse fragments of Spokes (written when Auster was
in his early twenties) and Unearth, continues on through the more
ample meditations of Wall Writing, Disappearances, Effigies, Fragments
From the Cold, Facing the Music, and White Spaces,
then moves further back in time to include Auster's revealing translations of
many of the French poets who influenced his own writing - including Paul
Eluard, André Breton, Tristan Tzara, Philippe Soupault, Robert Desnos and René
Char - as well as the provocative and previously unpublished 'Notes From A
Composition Book' (1967). An introduction by Norman Finkelstein connects
biographical elements to a consideration of the work, and takes in Auster's
early literary and philosophical influences. For those interested in Paul
Auster's novels - the now-classic New York Trilogy or The
Brooklyn Follies - this book is an invaluable opportunity to witness
his early development.
Powerful, sometimes
haunting, cool, precise and limpid, this view from the past to the present will
appeal to those unfamiliar with this aspect of Auster's work, as well as those
already acquainted with his poetry. Readers will agree that Auster's grasp on
language and the world around him is not only questioning, but mysterious and
very human, perceptive, and deeply compelling

Paul Auster (Newark, New Jersey, 1947 – Brooklyn, New York, 2024) bio je istaknuti američki romanopisac, esejist, prevodilac, scenarist i pjesnik. Svoju prepoznatljivost stekao je karakterističnim spojem egzistencijalizma, apsurda i metafikcije, često istražujući u svojim djelima teme identiteta, usamljenosti i potrage za smislom.
Studirao je na Univerzitetu Columbia, ali je napustio studij prije nego što ga je završio. Radio je kao prevodilac i urednik prije nego što se u potpunosti posvetio pisanju. Njegova književna karijera započela je objavljivanjem romana Stakleni grad (1985), kojim je uveo teme slučaja, koincidencije i nepredvidljive prirode ljudskog postojanja, koje će se ponavljati u njegovim romanima. Jedno od Austerovih najznačajnijih djela je Njujorška trilogija (1987), spoj tri međusobno povezana romana koja su ga učvrstila kao vodeću figuru u američkoj postmodernoj književnosti. Druga djela, poput romana Mjesečeva palača (1989), Glazba slučaja (1990), Levijatan (1992) i Bruklinska revija ludosti (2005), miješanjem elemenata detektivskog romana, autobiografije i filozofskih promišljanja, nadalje su samo potvrdila njegov ugled. Auster je pisao i poeziju, eseje i memoare, uključujući Izum samoće (1982) i Zimski dnevnik (2012). Okušao se i u pisanju scenarija i režiranju u filmovima poput Lulu na mostu (1998) i Unutrašnji život Martina Frosta (2007).
Auster je dobitnik brojnih nagrada i priznanja. Bio je član Američke akademije umjetnosti i književnosti i nosilac francuskog ordena za postignuća u umjetnosti i književnosti. Knjige su mu prevedene na više od četrdeset jezika. Cijenjen zbog svoga maštovitog pripovijedanja i intelektualne dubine, Auster nastavlja biti istaknut glas savremene američke književnosti.
