Trethewey Natasha

    La poesia di Natasha Trethewey approfondisce le complessità della memoria e dell'eredità razziale dell'America, creando profonde connessioni tra l'esperienza personale e l'ampio panorama storico. Il suo lavoro fonde magistralmente il verso libero con forme strutturate come il sonetto e la villanella, intrecciando narrazioni individuali nel tessuto degli eventi storici. Con una voce ricca e variegata, esplora la tragedia umana attraverso una convincente gamma di strutture e linguaggio. Trethewey invita i lettori a confrontarsi profondamente con il passato e la sua duratura risonanza nel presente.

    • Selected as a 2003 Notable Book by the American Library AssociationIn the early 1900s, E.J. Bellocq photographed prostitutes in the red-light district of New Orleans. His remarkable, candid photos inspired Natasha Trethewey to imagine the life of Ophelia, the subject of Bellocq's Ophelia, her stunning second collection of poems. With elegant precision, Ophelia tells of her life on display: her white father whose approval she earns by standing very still; the brothel Madame who tells her to act like a statue while the gentlemen callers choose; and finally the camera, which not only captures her body, but also offers a glimpse into her soul.

      Erinnerungen einer Tochter - »Es ist höchste Zeit, dass man diese großartige Schriftstellerin in Deutschland wahrnimmt.« Süddeutsche Zeitung

      »Eine Meditation über Rassismus, Klassenzugehörigkeit und Trauer. Und am Ende doch sehr positiv - einfach herzzereißend.« Barack Obama Natasha Trethewey ist neunzehn Jahre alt, als sich ihr Leben für immer verändert: ihr ehemaliger Stiefvater erschießt ihre Mutter. Heute stellt sich die mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichnete Dichterin die Frage, wie diese Erfahrung sie zu der Künstlerin geformt hat, die sie geworden ist. Eindringlich und mit schonungslosem Blick nimmt Trethewey diese tiefgreifende Erfahrung von Schmerz, Verlust und Trauer als Ausgangspunkt, um den tragischen Verlauf des Lebens ihrer Mutter zu erkunden und zu verstehen, wie ihr eigenes Leben durch deren unerschütterlicher Liebe und Widerstandskraft geprägt wurde. Indem sie die Lebenslinien ihrer Mutter im zutiefst von Rassentrennung geprägten amerikanischen Süden und die ihrer eigenen Kindheit als »Kind von Rassenmischung« in Mississippi nachzeichnet, lotet Trethewey ihr Gefühl der Entwurzelung und des Unbehaustseins in jener Zeit aus, die in dem erschütternden Verbrechen mündet, das sich 1985 am Memorial Drive in Atlanta ereignete.
