Robert Sheppard has been at the forefront of innovative poetry
since the 1980s. From early contact with Bob Cobbing, Robert
Creeley, and Lee Harwood, and a rejection of Movement orthodoxy,
Sheppard quickly began to form/reform our perceptions of British
poetry. This wide-ranging volume celebrates the writings of
Sheppard, offering extensive of his work-from poet, to critic,
editor, teacher, and inventor. Including contributions from major
contemporaries, as well as a new generation of scholarship, The
Robert Sheppard Companion situates the remarkable writing life of
one of Britain's most imaginative poets. `Sheppard has been a
champion of British poetry that actively resists the complacent and
the convenient, the merely competent. That has meant evading
bullies who would "banish us," to use Dickinson's phrase.
Sheppard's aesthetic justice has never been just for him; his
social imagination is at one with poems, essays, teaching, and
editing. His work is restlessly agile, generous at heart.' -Charles
Bernstein, from `Preface' to The Robert Sheppard Companion
`[Sheppard's] poetry skews language to takes on big themes and his
writing can be seen as comprehensive poetic chronicling of our
times on an epic scale culminating in his Complete Twentieth
Century Blues. Sheppard's writing is rough, rude, quirky, serious,
learned, and never afraid to be humorous. In short it is as
irreverent as it is relevant. Finally, his generosity in writing
about and promoting the work of others has been unstinting and
invaluable, especially in a country which largely chooses to ignore
its innovative poets.' - Geraldine Monk, from `The Robert Sheppard
Roundtable' `This book shows how far-reaching and generous
Sheppard's writing life has been. He has argued and sung for the
benefit of an entire community, to keep opening the possibilities
of poetry itself. He stands and stands up for the breadth and depth
and future of modern poetry. He's written it, written about it,
published it; theorized, organised and celebrated. It is not often
that innovative practice, political engagement, a thorough
knowledge of poetry, and wit are combined in one body of work. But
this valuable Companion provides the necessary spread of insights
and perspectives to do justice to the extraordinary range of
Sheppard's achievements. And that is some achievement in itself.'

The combination of Stephane Mallarme's esoteric poetry and Maurice
Ravel's elusive tonal language presents a multitude of
methodological problems for both analysts and performers attempting
to study the Trois poemes de Stephane Mallarme (1913). While extant
analyses of these songs draw on pitch content to make observations
about Ravel's interpretation of the text, they fail to consider the
fundamental structural importance of Mallarme's poetry. In his
autobiographical sketch, Ravel noted that Mallarme's "preciosite so
full of meaning" inspired him to compose the Trois poemes. By using
the archaic French word preciosite, which carries significant
literary connotations, Ravel suggests that his understanding of
Mallarme's preciosite served as the compositional impetus for these
songs. After establishing Ravel's life-long affinity for Mallarme's
Symbolist structures and formal improprieties, this book will
present a detailed analysis of "Soupir" and "Placet futile." Both
scholars and performers can benefit from these analyses, as they
provide insight into the complex structures and symbolic content in
Ravel's composition.
An exploration of the possible reasons why people feel the urge to
give meaning to life. The book approaches its task by looking at
the nature of the universe and our perception of our place in it,
and it speculates on how this perception may give rise to spiritual
and religious sensibilities. The book is divided into three parts.
Part 1 (Where Are We?) deals with aspects of the nature of the
universe and the way that we perceive it through the distorting
lens of our own senses and preoccupations. Part 2 (What Are We?)
covers the subject of the nature of life, from its beginnings to
the emergence of homo sapiens, and how the development of life has
conditioned us to react to our environment in specific ways. Part 3
(Why Are We?) explores our attitudes to mental states such as
consciousness and mind, and explores the implications of these
attitudes. The author's attitude to the nature of the universe can
be summed up in the quote on the book's cover. "We only tend to
think that reality is weird when we contemplate its extremes, such
as the core of the atom or the edge of the universe - but the place
is actually weird all the way through."
