Author Robert Gillette shares with readers an everyday book of
poetry, My Life in Words. His book is a compilation of select poems
that almost anyone can relate to. The poems contained within the

experiences. The words and rhythm contained in the compilation are
designed to bring back memories and give readers a feeling of
something they have not experienced or seen before. Reflective and
insightful, My Life in Words is the author's first published piece.
It is the latest addition to Xlibris' growing collection of poem

As the field of translation studies has developed, translators and
translation scholars have become more aware of the unacknowledged
ideologies inherent both in texts themselves and in the mechanisms
that affect their circulation. This book both analyses the
translation of queerness and applies queer thought to issues of
translation. It sheds light on the manner in which heteronormative
societies influence the selection, reading and translation of texts
and pays attention to the means by which such heterosexism might be
subverted. It considers the ways in which queerness can be
repressed, ignored or made invisible in translation, and shows how
translations might expose or underline the queerness - or the
homophobic implications - of a given text. Balancing the
theoretical with the practical, this book investigates what is
culturally at stake when particular texts are translated from one
culture to another, raising the question of the relationship
between translation, colonialism and globalization. It also takes
the insights derived from intercultural translation studies and
applies them to other fields of cultural criticism. The first
multi-focus, in-depth study on translating queer, translating
queerly and queering translation, this book will be of interest to
scholars working in the fields of gender and sexuality, queer
theory and queer studies, literature, film studies and translation
studies.
Queer in Europe takes stock of the intellectual and social status
and treatment of queer in the New Europe of the twenty-first
century, addressing the ways in which the Anglo-American term and
concept 'queer' is adapted in different national contexts, where it
takes on subtly different overtones, determined by local political
specificities and intellectual traditions. Bringing together
contributions by carefully chosen experts, this book explores key
aspects of queer in a range of European national contexts, namely:
Belgium, Cyprus, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
The Nordic Region, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia and Spain.
Rather than prescribing a universalizing definition, the book
engages with a wide spectrum of what is meant by 'queer', as each
chapter negotiates the contested border between direct queer
activist action based on identity categories, and more plural queer
strategies that call these categories into question. The first
volume in English devoted to the exploration of queer in Europe,
this book makes an important intervention in contemporary queer
studies.
