In this lively gambol through the history of quotations and quotation books, Gary Saul Morson traces our enduring fascination with the words of others. Ranging from the remote past to the present, he explores the formation, development, and significance of quotations, while exploring the "verbal museums" in which they have been collected and displayed--commonplace books, treasuries, and anthologies. In his trademark clear, witty, and provocative style, Morson invites readers to share his delight in the shortest literary genre. The author defines what makes a quote quotable, as well as the (unexpected) differences between quotation and misquotation. He describes how quotations form, transform, and may eventually become idioms. How much of language itself is the residue of former quotations? Weaving in hundreds of intriguing quotations, common and unusual, Morson explores how the words of others constitute essential elements in the formation of a culture and of the self within that culture. In so doing, he provides a demonstration of that very process, captured in the pages of this extraordinary new book.

Hans Magnus Enzensberger is one of the most widely read and respected writers in post-war Germany. In the present study a considerable number of his most important poems are closely analyzed, including the texts that make up his major poetic cycles, Mausoleum (1975) and Der Untergang der Titanic (1978). Central to any discussion of this highly diverse corpus is the way in which Enzensberger creates strikingly original poems on the basis of borrowed material. Der Untergang der Titanic, for example, is closely based on the famous bestseller A Night to Remember (1955) by the American writer Walter Lord and on the film of the same name by Roy Baker (1958). Enzensberger’s ?Versepos? is simply unimaginable without Lord’s book, and certain episodes represented in the poem can be fully understood only by readers who have seen the film. The appropriation of documentary material also plays an important role in the series of poems devoted to nature or science, many of which present themselves as riddles. An entire chapter is devoted to the analysis of these fascinating riddle poems. The various personages portrayed in Mausoleum comprise not only scientists, inventors, explorers, and thinkers who were responsible for truly world-changing discoveries (Gutenberg, Humboldt, and Darwin for example), but also a whole series of historical figures whose admission to this oddball pantheon is best explained by the bizarreness of their often utopian projects or by their compulsive or megalomaniacal personalities. The playful and provocative Enzensberger clearly chose several of these latter for their shock value (Raimondo di Sangro, V. M. Molotov, Ernesto Guevara de la Serna). Our reading of this collection demonstrates Enzensberger’s willingness to undermine seriousness with irony and humor, hence the presence of Dante and Marilyn Monroe on board the sinking Titanic. The final chapter examines the relation between poetry and politics and examines the notorious essay ?Gemeinplätze, die Neueste Literatur betreffend? (1968) as well as the disturbing interview with the Weimarer Beiträge (1971), in which the poet expresses his thankfully short-lived rejection of literature as art and his desire to break out of the ?Ghetto des Kulturlebens.? This chapter also discusses the influence of Bertolt Brecht. Other chapters focus on the poet’s taste for anachronism, his ?asynchronous? sensibility, and the recurrent theme of disappearance. --

About the Book: The poems are from the interactions with people, often when they shared with me their experiences of love, hate, reasons, or despair. Some are my own feelings, whereas some are the feelings of others through the words. About the Author: I am Sanjeev Kumar Bharadwaj, a guy residing in Guwahati and with a desire to be somebody. A confused mind and a confused outlook towards life. Apart from programming, writing has always been something that supported me while growing up, a confused life you may call it but being able to pen down things has made me understand myself. My own words confuse me and often I am left wondering what is it that I am even feeling. I am not old enough to lecture someone, nor old enough to be "experienced" but some things can happen even when you aren't old and you simply learn from them. In my poems, there are confusions that I try to clear, situations that never made sense, and rhymes that never played out, but I read them all one day and it all made sense: that's when I started to realize what was going on with my mind and I became conscious. I am not there yet, but I am not far. The poems are from the interactions with people, often when they shared with me their experiences of love, hate, reasons, or despair. Some are my own feelings, whereas some are the feelings of others through the words. Be happy, You are a wonderful being :)

The Words of Others are All We Have is a poetry conversation between Louise Machen and J. Daniel West illustrating working class landscapes in an era of gentrification and widening social disparity. This collection traverses the topographies of the city and its surrounding suburbs, examining the contradictions that arise in the relationships between people and the places that provide a familiar comfort whilst surreptitiously encouraging a coalescence with the inability to escape economic and emotional deprivation. These poems are rooted in the everyday, in the discord between the metropolis and the natural world, in the importance of our 'root networks' and the realities of class restriction. From terraced streets to high-rise flats and glass monoliths to nostalgic landmarks, this conversation of poetry discusses experiences of childhood, adolescence and aging in the urban sprawl of the north. "Set in a vivid landscape of urban decay, a brutal Eden where paradise isn't lost, it was just never an option. These 'conversation' poems rise above their beginnings like a plume: part smoke, part accusation and part defiance and without sentimentality into vital poetry written as a remembrance and as a warning to the rest of the lifestyle obsessed world that we were here and some still are." Jack Caradoc 4/10/23 "With relentless "fire and fury", this uncompromising pamphlet of poetry centres on issues of social, economic and cultural deprivation in Manchester. The poems, which highlight poor living standards and the "gritty filth" of environments, also focuses intently on adverse life experiences and lack of opportunities of an underclass and working class struggling at the edge; all the more tragic because of the gentrified communities around these poor estates - the distant "sun-kissed monoliths" of new housing development, which sharply contrast with poverty-stricken neighbourhoods. In focusing on deep inequalities, the two writers in the collaborative work shine an uncomfortable but necessary light on the grime of neglected areas and the insurmountable challenges people born without privilege face in trying to break out of the poverty trap. This no-holes barred account, rendered with sharp poeticism, makes gripping reading." Matthew M. C. Smith, author of The Keeper of Aeons and editor of Black Bough. "The words of others are all we have is an aptly-named pamphlet, as each poem perfectly speaks in conversation with one another in a way that harmonises in a beautiful melody throughout. The pamphlet is a delve into gritty urban settings honeyed with nostalgia but sharpened by hindsight, and we are warmed by personal moments of exploration of both what constitutes as 'home', and the relationships that define and refine us from those places. From synthetic underpass lights to rows of Primarks and John Lewises, there is an acute ache of familiarity, along with the throb of a home altered beyond recognition. These powerful poems will leave the reader bathing in that 'fire and flood' of yesteryears long gone, leaving the inevitable question; where does that now leave us?" Scarlett Ward, author of Ache and Founder of Fawn Press. "Urgent, vivid, and important poetry from perspectives that tend to be silenced, grasping, among other things, the entrapments of poverty, and the slipperiness of memory." Dave Haslam, writer, broadcaster and DJ

Drawing on his work in Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, North America, Ghana, and Fiji, linguistic anthropologist and folklorist Richard Bauman presents a series of ethnographic case studies that offer a sparkling look at intertextuality as communicative practice. A fascinating perspective on intertextuality: the idea that written and spoken texts speak to one another, e.g. through genre or allusions. Presents a series of ethnographic case studies to illustrate the topic. Draws on a broad range of oral performances and literary records from across the world. The author’s introduction sets a framework for the analysis of genre, perform and intertextuality. Shows how performers blend genres, e.g., telling stories about riddles or legends about magical verses, or constructing sales pitches.
