This book, which accompanies the volumes published in the author's
Selected Writings series, guides readers through the many-faceted
poetic output of Richard Berengarten (formerly Burns). Berengarten
has been a crucial presence in contemporary poetry for over forty
years - not only as poet but also as translator, critic and driving
force behind the legendary Cambridge Poetry Festival - and his
poetry has been translated into more than ninety languages. With
thirty-four contributors from over a dozen nationalities, the book
is a testimony to the recognition of his poetry by fellow writers
and critics across cultural, linguistic and geographical boundaries
and frontiers. The range of poetic canons to which Berengarten's
oeuvre responds enables him to put down 'multiple roots' in a
number of literary traditions, and this is reflected in the book's
diversity. It sets out not only to be of use to readers and
scholars already acquainted with Berengarten's poetry, but as a
guide to those who are encountering his work for the first time.It
is divided into three main sections, the first of which approaches
the work thematically and the second chronologically, while the
third focuses on his 'Balkan trilogy' (The Blue Butterfly, In A
Time Of Drought and Under Balkan Light). The book also contains an
appendix of essays on Berengarten's ancillary roles as literary
activist, EFL teacher/entrepreneur and teacher of poetry to
children, as well as a detailed bibliography.
