In “Elegy for the Road,” Tatiana Orono writes, “Poetry is the place where the things go that have no solution.”  Her book, Still Life with Defeats, provides the solution I didn’t know I needed.  What gratitude I feel to Jesse Lee Kercheval for this inspired translation.  Without it, we’d be bereft of Orono’s taut, compelling poems, rich with sly surprise and haunting imagery. —Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs, W. W. Norton

Tatiana Oroño’s place amid the motherlines of Uruguayan and Latin American poetry is beyond dispute; in Kercheval’s English translations, Oroño’s svelte lyrics are revealed to be in conversation with a litany of English-language poets writing before and alongside her, from Emily Dickinson to Barbara Guest, Fanny Howe to Cathy Wagner. This is the poetry of cosmic concentration, in which any object, any syllable, no matter how domestic or mundane, becomes a doorway on the Infinite by being so resolutely itself. —Joyelle McSweeney, author of Percussion Grenade

Tatiana Oroño's Still Life With Defeats is, like all good poetry, an attempted response to those questions that seem unanswerable. A search for unity underpins these poems, a quest for ultimate meaning, but, as in a still life painting of varied objects, there remains a gulf that cannot be bridged, a chasm that is simultaneously horrifying and beautiful. These poems represent an ongoing movement toward finding the connection and wholeness shared by all living things. Translator Jesse Lee Kercheval has joyfully accompanied the author on this journey; uniting passion with precision, she preserves the dazzling complexity of the original while continuing to ask the questions that have no easy answers. —Jeannine Pitas, translator of I Remember Nightfall by Marosa di Giorgio

Still Life with Defeats: Selected Poems

In this rollicking ride through the philosophy of Chomskian linguistics, Georges Rey argues for the centrality of the notion of representation, and makes a startling proposal for what it is that the claims of linguistic theories represent, and what the wider implications are for psychology more generally. Original, intellectually fun, and, for a linguist, enjoyably contentious, this is a great read

“This is an up-to-date look at the most widely used methodologies and statistical analyses applied to research studies examining the use and abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs. … This is a highly technical book aimed primarily at researchers in this area. … This book is valuable to those in the field as well as anyone trying to understand the validity of the methodology, analysis, and conclusions of various studies before applying them to influence policy or treatment.” (Michael Easton, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)

Es ist so, als verharrte alles in seiner Bewegung, um aus sich selbst heraus Zeit, Ruhe und Muße zum Betrachten zu verleihen. Und die dunklen Rot-, warmen Gelb- und samtigen Blau- und Grüntöne vertiefen noch den ruhigen Grundton dieser heiteren Geschichte.

Überzeugend ist die Geschichte erzählt, die großflächigen, farbigen Illustrationen sind bestens auf den Text abgestimmt, der Nikolaus wird weder mystifiziert noch lächerlich dargestellt. Zum Schmunzeln im guten Sinn gibts trotzdem genug für Klein und Groß!

“Serwer provides readers with an informative and convincing analysis of the Balkans experience, fulfilling his intention to present a concise history of the conflict and post-conflict periods in Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia. He builds on this analysis and makes clear recommendations on what can be done in the Middle East and Ukraine. The book will appeal to both international relations students and foreign policy professionals.” (Zerrin Torun, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 71 (10), 2019)

Transnational bribery is a serious global problem, but as Kevin Davis argues, in his provocative and wide ranging critique, domestic and international law enforcement is often misdirected. Different societies have distinctive vulnerabilities that are not reflected in present-day enforcement priorities. A more effective response would look beyond prevention and deterrence to assess the costs and benefits of alternative strategies in diverse settings.

Between Impunity and Imperialism

This excellent work fills what was perhaps a surprising gap in existing copyright literature. It provides an admirable in-depth assessment of parody as an exception to copyright and, hence, contributes to a better understanding of the overall copyright framework, the functioning of limitations and exceptions to copyright and the relevance of human rights considerations while applying copyright [...] In summary, and as pointed out by Paul Torremans in his foreword to
this work, Sabine Jacques has written 'the' book on the parody exception.
