The biblical book of Genesis stands nearly without parallel in the
shared history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Because of its
abiding importance to late antique theology and practical life
across religious boundaries, it gave rise to a wide range of
literary responses. The essays in this book study an array of
Jewish and Christian responses to Genesis as they took shape in
specific literary forms-the unique genres of late antique poetry.
While late antique and early medieval Jews and Christians did not
always agree in their interpretations of Genesis, they participated
broadly in a shared culture of poetic production. Some of these
poetic genres paralleled one another simply as distinct examples of
metered speech, while others emerged in conversation and through
mutual influence. Though late antique poems developed in a variety
of languages and across religious boundaries, scholarly study of
late antique poetry has tended to isolate the phenomenon according
to language. As a corrective to this linguistic isolation, this
book initiates a comparative conversation around the Jewish and
Christian poetry that emerged in late antique Aramaic, Greek,
Hebrew, Latin, and Syriac. Tending equally to exegetical content
and literary form, the essays in this book sit at the intersection
of a variety of scholarly conversations-around the history of
biblical exegesis, the formation of late antique and early medieval
literature and literary culture, and the comparative study of
Judaism and Christianity.

A buddy-cop dramedy starring a bottle of Advil and a headache that
won't quit Imagine you're standing in a room, and someone on the
other side of the door won't stop knocking - ever. Welcome to
Andrew Faulkner's world of the never-ending, low-grade headache, a
medical issue resolved only by striking up a committed relationship
with the slippery miracle that is Advil. Through direct address,
sideways glances, lyrical interludes and deep consideration of what
it means to overcome a condition when living is a part of the
condition itself, these poems observe the speaker's world as it
crowds around him, coming into sharper and specific focus, from the
hard wisdom of saints on suffering and a slightly unhinged
Caravaggio on the metaphysics of painting, through to the deep
meaning of a hot dog and a thoroughly botched retelling of a Norm
Macdonald joke. Throughout it all, Advil whirls around like an
unruly tornado of a sidekick, snapping Polaroids and "searching for
a cloud that resembles a plausible end-of-life scenario." Think of
this collection as a meditation on how to deal with pain and
uncertainty when life itself is an uncertain, painful mess. These
are poems that acknowledge the shakiness of the ground we stand on.
The opening poem wonders: "If you stay with the shakiness through
its conjugations? Who knows." But don't worry. Advil's on the case
and aims to find out. "These wry poems cajole the reader into
feverish attentiveness. Andrew Faulkner's Heady Bloom is that
unusual collection of poems whose aim is generous and profound, but
whose means are often comic and provocative, all jagged edges and
elbows. Chaplinesque, perhaps, but Chaplin at an all-ages hardcore
show, or having been to one and reflecting on it later, in
tranquility." -Ed Skoog, author of Travelers Leaving for the City
and Run the Red Lights "Among other issues, this book explores how
the seizures, hallucinations, and excruciating pain caused by
neurological conditions that are now treated clinically were once
thought of as visions granted to and endured by saints. Faulkner
does this in poems that are filled with seriousness but also humor,
unlikely allusions, and exhilarating wordplay. A running conceit is
the speaker's ambivalent relationship-a kind of "bromance"-with
Advil, modern medicine personified as his nemesis and doppelganger,
a taunting comedian but also a vital helpmate, a debased version of
the saints' archangelic protectors. Faulkner's imagery and conceits
surprise and delight. A strange and beautiful book. " -Geoffrey
Nutter
Gallipoli hero, Victoria Cross recipient, battalion and brigade
commander, conqueror of Damascus and defiant antagonist of the
Japanese - by any measure Arthur Seaforth Blackburn was one of
Australia's most remarkable soldiers. This, the first Blackburn
biography, details the famous battles that shaped Australia. It
tells Blackburn's story through the eyes of his comrades, including
many from his battalion who survived the horrors of the Burma
Railway, and includes photographs taken by Blackburn never
published before.
This book is the first large-scale study of the Metaphrasis
Psalmorum since the middle of the twentieth century. It provides a
revised critical text and complete modern translation of the poem,
as well as an extensive introduction, which explores in detail
critical questions such as authorship and the poet's engagement
with early Christian exegesis. On the basis of a thorough
re-examination of the poem's theology, its relationship to other
late antique poetry, and relevant external evidence, it is argued,
contrary to received opinion, that the Metaphrasis Psalmorum is a
genuine work of Apollinaris of Laodicea, the influential if
controversial bishop of the 4th century. It is also demonstrated
that the poet interacts in a more wide-reaching and intentional way
with early Christian exegesis on the Psalms than has previously
been recognized, including the exegesis of Origen's newly
discovered Homilies on the Psalms. The introduction includes
broader discussion of the tradition of early Christian classicizing
poetry, the poet's engagement with the Hellenic tradition, and his
paraphrastic technique. The revised text and translation make more
accessible a poorly known and understudied poem, which is
nevertheless a major and important poetic work of late antiquity.
The book aims to promote greater awareness of the Metaphrasis
Psalmorum and act as a catalyst for future work on the paraphrase.
The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, which tells of the seduction of the
shepherd Anchises by the love-goddess Aphrodite, has long been
recognized as a masterpiece of early Western literature. This
edition is designed as a reference tool to aid scholars and
students in their study of the poem. The introduction and
commentary deal with points of language appropriate to the
specialist or student of Greek, but also with matters of literary
interpretation of interest to the non-specialist reader.
