Congratulations to Professor Ben Bollig who has released two new books; ‘Moving Verses: Poetry on Screen in Argentine Cinema’ and ‘Music for Unknown Journeys by Christian Aliaga. New and Selected Prose Poems: Travels in Europe, Africa and the Americas’.
‘Moving Verses: Poetry on Screen in Argentine Cinema’ analyses how film and poetry transform each other, and how these two expressive media behave when placed into dialogue, in Argentinian cinema.
‘Music for Unknown Journeys by Christian Aliaga. New and Selected Prose Poems: Travels in Europe, Africa and the Americas’ brings together a selection of Aliaga’s prose poems and introduces the author’s work and its context.
Ben says: “I’m really pleased to see these books in print. They are both the fruit of long-running research projects. Although they have different focusses, both are interested in poetry’s place and significance in the modern world. I hope readers will enjoy discovering Aliaga’s poetry and also the films of Narcisa Hirsch, Gustavo Fontán, and many others.”
