ANNE MICHAELS Tradicionalmente, los poetas solían asistir a las grandes revelaciones en lo alto de las montañas. Sin embargo, en los poemas de Anne Michaels las verdades se dicen en la cocina. Puede que esto sirva para entender el tono de su obra. No obstante, el hecho de que el fulgor inalcanzable de los astros y la inefable música de las esferas hayan sido sustituidos por el ruido y la luz de la nevera no significa que la de la autora canadiense sea una poesía alejada de los temas más frecuentados por la tradición. Antes al contrario, es pura tradición, aunque ésta se sitúa, bien es cierto, más del lado de la biología que del lado de la historiografía literaria. Efectivamente, siendo la memoria el gran tema de la obra de Michaels, sus fuentes se nutren menos de las etapas históricas que de la capas geológicas. Así, estos poemas parecen escritos con el ruido del pasado convertido en lenguaje ­son, en eso, como una oración interminable: «Rezar es el esfuerzo de extraer palabras / no del silencio / sino del ruido de otras palabras» ­ para tejer una suerte de biografía de la nostalgia en la que el pasado tiene la forma tanto de las cosas ocurridas como la de las cosas que nunca ocurrieron y en la que, a veces, todo lo que se puede recordar es el propio futuro. En este sentido, la poesía de Anne Michaels forma parte del mismo mundo que su hasta ahora única obra narrativa

interview Anne Michaels Cover photograph by Barbara Cole. Cover design by Andrew Skuja. "When I write, I want to feel that something's at stake," says Anne Michaels, whose debut novel, Fugitive Pieces , was recently shortlisted for the Giller Prize, Canada's highest award for fiction. Internationally, rights have been bought in the UK, Germany, and Brazil, with more pending in France, Greece, and Japan. Fugitive Pieces is a beautiful, poetic, and intelligent novel in two parts: the first two-thirds is Jewish-Polish poet Jakob Beer's account of how Athos Roussos, a Greek scientist and humanist, saved him (in every sense) from the Nazis; the latter part is Jewish-Canadian professor Ben's posthumous letter to Jakob, as he excavates the literary remnants and artifacts left behind. Fugitive Pieces "I had the beginning and the ending in my mind even as early as 1980," she said, "but I didn't let myself begin writing until quite a few years later, 1986, after my first book [of poems, The Weight of Oranges ] came out. It's important that the facts have a chance to ferment, to be absorbed, in order to try and fathom whatever meaning is hidden among those facts.

Summer 2000 Poems The Weight of Oranges; Miner's Pond; Skin Divers Anne Michaels Knopf ($25) by Fionn Meade hether slipping under the sheets as a late lover to the great Italian modernist painter Amadeo Modigliani or donning the seventeenth-century scientific cloak of the revolutionary mathematician Johannes Kepler, Canadian poet Anne Michaels offers a series of persona poems that ruminate and seduce with an erudite yet sexy seriousness. Michaels landed squarely on the literary map with her highly-acclaimed first novel Fugitive Pieces , and it is undoubtedly her success as a novelist that has afforded this troika of companion books, previously published separately by smaller Canadian presses, the unusual opportunity of appearing together in one volume their first time stateside. When read together as the author intended, these poems reveal, much like the work of her compatriot and supporter, Michael Ondaatje, an apprenticeship in the attentions of poetry that serves to both illuminate and extend her more well-known prose. Offset by ephemeral lyrics about family, lovers, and geography, it is Michaels's repeated visitations to the lives of artists, scientists, and thinkers that most vividly enwrap the reader in her world. Both furtive and essayistic, Michaels deftly re-creates the historic moment of an idea as if it were her own. In her portrait of the embattled Kepler, for instance, Michaels delivers not so much an authentic 'voice from the past' as the impassioned voice of the awe-inspired:

"Some stones are so heavy only silence helps you carry them," says a character in this highly poetic novel. Despite that, Anne Michaels finds a voice full of love and compassion to talk about a dark and painful period of history laid on a platter of Fugitive Pieces. Reading this book I was immersed in a river of revelations that keeps flowing long after the last page of the novel is turned. A river that runs into the present and informs with its embrace of the human condition seen throught the eyes of a seven year old Holocaust survivor, Jakob. With pure linguistic delight landscapes of places and minds are drawn with a cartographers passion. "Terra Cognita and Terra Incognita inhabit exactly the same coordinates of time and space." There will always be maps for us to draw. We still get lost in the landscapes of mind, of human, of spirit and face ourselves in all the beauty and all the ugliness we are capable of creating. This book unfolds one leaf, one word at a time. "Every moment is two moments."

We hope they will aid your understanding of the many rich themes that make up this radiant and lyrical first novel by one of Canada's foremost poets. In Poland during World War II, seven-year-old Jakob Beer's parents are murdered by Nazi soldiers and his adored elder sister, Bella, is abducted. The mourning child flees and is miraculously rescued by Athos Roussos, a Greek geologist. Athos smuggles Jakob to his native island of Zakynthos, where he successfully hides him from the Nazi authorities and introduces him to a new world of geology, poetry, botany, and art. After the war the two move to Toronto, and Jakob embarks on marriage and a career as a poet. Through the experience of profound love, Jakob eventually transcends the tragedies of his youth; but his spirit remains forever linked with that of his lost sister. As Jakob gets older, his life and work provide inspiration and, eventually, spiritual regeneration, for Ben, a younger man whose own family has been blighted by the Holocaust.

Turning Twenty-Three You turned twenty-two in the rain, we walked in rubber boots along Lowther, glazed milky under streetlamps. At midnight, the sky clear, we drove your jazz-filled car through cold pungent streets to the lake where we collected stones by flashlight. The wind wrapped us in its torsions, we couldn't hear each other although we shouted, wet with star-swallowing waves. By morning the stones we found were dull with air, but I couldn't forget the smell, the trees' intimate dampness, husks of buds in green pools on the sidewalks, scattered by the rain's distracted hands. To love one person above all others is despair, you said, turning twenty-two propaganda of the senses, the narrow-minded heart. We are like magnets when together, averted by our sameness. Above the corrugated, elastic lake, the darkening sky holds out its arms. A thousand miles away, you're turning twenty-three. The grass is hunchbacked, pushed by wind into the sand. The water is hunchbacked, onto the beach, into itself.

El Crítico nº Anne Michaels Piezas en fuga Traducción de Eva Cruz García Alfaguara, Madrid, 1997 305 pág. La expulsión de Egipto "S egún la tradición hebrea hay que referirse a nuestros antepasados como 'nosotros', no como 'ellos'. 'Cuando nos expulsaron de Egipto...'. Esto alienta la identificación y la responsabilidad con respecto al pasado pero, sobre todo, provoca el colapso del tiempo". Las palabras de Jakob Beer, protagonista de Piezas en fuga , señalan con claridad la tradición a que se acogen el personaje y la autora de este libro, el propósito moral que rige la novela de Anne Michaels (Toronto, Canadá, 1958). La memoria judía representa, pues, no sólo la materia narrativa del relato, sino la herencia que estructura esa actitud de responsabilidad ante los antepasados y el curso del tiempo; una pesada carga que reviste de significado simbólico todas las acciones individuales tendentes a provocar ese síncope, a vivir siempre, por tanto, como si se abandonara Egipto. Recordar, recordar, rescatar nombres, piezas en fuga, plantar cara a la obscena voracidad del olvido. Dividida en dos bloques o momentos, la peripecia de la novela se centra, ya se ha dicho, en la vida de Jakob Beer, un niño polaco rescatado del horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial por Athos Roussos, geólogo de enciclopédico saber, quien lo llevará consigo a una isla griega. Allí, al lado del nuevo padre, hombre verdaderamente culto y humanista, el muchacho crece y conoce el mundo. Pero incluso hasta ese paraíso mediterráneo - la miel, el mar, el olor de los olivos- termina por llegar la brutalidad nazi. De modo que ambos deciden trasladarse a Toronto, en donde Athos podrá ejercer como profesor universitario.

El Crítico nº Caballero Bonald Diario de Argónida Tusquets, Barcelona, 1997 LÚCIDAS PERSEVERANCIAS E n la introducción a su antología de 1983, Selección natural , Caballero Bonald definía su poesía como un "sistema de reversión de la realidad privada y, en cierto correlativo plano de valores, de la realidad pública" . Esto es, era consciente de la vocación del poema como instrumento introspectivo y moral a la vez. Catorce años más tarde, sale el escritor de sus zonas abisales y sorprende con Diario de Argónida (Tusquets, 1997), que culmina por el momento todo un fresco expresivo inaugurado con Las adivinaciones en 1952 y que hasta ahora ha llegado hasta nosotros, sus lectores, repartido en otros títulos que no han supuesto sino ahondar en unas claves que han hecho del escritor jerezano un poeta persistente en sus meditadas obsesiones poéticas y vitales: la memoria y su extraviada naturaleza tornadiza, los laberintos de la temporalidad, la fidelidad de una íntima geografía, el poder expresivo de un lenguaje ajustado a la ley de otra exactitud más allá de la lógica previsible o, también, el poema como proceso que a sí mismo se explica. En realidad, hay que agradecer a Caballero Bonald que sin ser epígono de sí mismo -precisamente en esta época, poéticamente epigonal- no se haya apartado de esa línea discursiva que lo ha caracterizado a él y a toda esa promoción poética de los años cincuenta, cuyos aglutinantes temáticos y estilísticos asoman sin disimulos (creo yo que más bien a propósito, a medias entre la fidelidad y un deliberado y socarrón descaro) en este

Fugitive Pieces Anne Michaels Book Description In 1940, Jakob Beer, a seven-year-old boy, bursts from the mud of a war-torn Polish city, where he has buried himself to hide from Nazi soldiers who have killed his family. Though he should have died with his family, he has not only survived but been rescued by a Greek geologist. With this electrifying backdrop, Anne Michaels propels us into her rapturously acclaimed novel of loss, memory, history, and redemption. Michaels lets us witness Jakob's transformation from a half-wild casualty of the Holocaust to an artis who extracts meaning from the abyss. Filled with mysterious symmetries and rendered in heart-stopping prose, Fugitive Pieces is a triumphant work.

Fugitive Pieces Anne Michaels The author is a poet and definitely writes like one. Doreen described this as a wonderful book and read us several passages. It deals with the holocaust and a young Jewish boy taken alone to Greece. He is haunted for the rest of his life by the fate of his remaining family under the Nazis. Doreen 30/8/98 Another post-modernist book, but this one works - the author writes quite similarly to John Berger. Written mostly in the third person about a holocaust survivor climbing out of the abyss, with strong descriptions of other characters, the books moves from Greece to Canada and the story works very well. Along the way there are some strange detours, and a change of voice for the main character was a bit confusing - Doreen had also read the book, and got seriously lost at that point. A similar technique to The Underpainter, but in this book one has sympathy with the character and at some points the language is really beautiful. Highly recommended, a good book.
