She is helplessly attracted to one of the boys, and when she reads John's diary, it's clear that they weren't the only ones to cause him so much unhappiness...Alan tells John's story in an unsentimental and compassionate novel, but he also tells Annie's story which is as much about moving on and looking forward to the future, as about the tragic waste of a young life.

Hold Your Own: Poems
by Kate TempestMy heart throws its head against my ribs, / it's denting every bone it's venting something it has known since I arrived and felt it beat.Kate Tempest, winner of the Ted Hughes Award for Brand New Ancients and widely regarded as the UK's leading spoken word poet, has produced a new poem-sequence of electrifying power. Based on the myth of the blind prophet Tiresias, Hold Your Own is a riveting tale of youth and experience, sex and love, wealth and poverty, community and alienation. Walking in the forest one morning, a young man disturbs two copulating snakes--and is punished by the goddess Hera, who turns him into a woman. This is only the beginning of his journey . . . Weaving elements of classical myth, autobiography and social commentary, Tempest uses the story of the gender-switching, clairvoyant Tiresias to create four sequences of poems, addressing childhood, manhood, womanhood, and late life. The result is a rhythmically hypnotic tour de force--and a hugely ambitious leap forward for one of the most broadly talented and compelling young writers today.

Hölderlin and the Consequences: An Essay on the German 'Poet of Poets'
by Rüdiger Görner"A sign we are, uninterpreted. Painless we are and have almost / lost the language in a foreign country." Thus begins the second version of Friedrich Hölderlin's hymn dedicated to goddess of memory, Mnemosyne. "Hölderlin and the Consequences" wants to remember this 'poet of poets' and consider what his unmatched poems have stimulated, even triggered, in others. This scholarly essay examines the legacy of a poet who was, by and large, ostracized in his time, a master of language, who was declared a stranger by his contemporaries until he became a stranger to himself. Hölderlin's multiple experience of foreignness and alienation was later counteracted by often ideologically motivated attempts to appropriate him. Rüdiger Görner presents this complex context as a special case in recent literary history.This book is a translation of an original German 1st edition, "Hölderlin und die Folgen" by Rüdiger Görner, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2016. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The author (with the support of Josh Torabi) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.
Hölderlin and the Poetry of Tragedy: Readings in Sophocles, Shakespeare, Nietzsche and Benjamin
by Jeremy TamblingHölderlin (1770-1843) is the magnificent writer whom Nietzsche called 'my favourite poet'. His writings and poetry have been formative throughout the twentieth century, and as influential as those of Hegel, his friend. At the same time, his madness has made his poetry infinitely complex as it engages with tragedy, and irreconcilable breakdown, both political and personal, with anger and with mourning. This study gives a detailed approach to Hölderlin's writings on Greek tragedy, especially Sophocles, whom he translated into German, and gives close attention to his poetry, which is never far from an engagement with tragedy. Hölderlin's writings, always fascinating, enable a consideration of the various meanings of tragedy, and provide a new reading of Shakespeare, particularly Julius Caesar, Hamlet and Macbeth; the work proceeds by opening into discussion of Nietzsche, especially The Birth of Tragedy. Since Hölderlin was such a decisive figure for Modernism, to say nothing of modern Germany, he matters intensely to such differing theorists and philosophers as Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Blanchot and Jacques Derrida, all of whose views are discussed herein. Drawing upon the insights of Hegelian philosophy and psychoanalysis, this book gives the English-speaking reader ready access to a magnificent body of poetry and to the poet as a theorist of tragedy and of madness. Hölderlin's poetry is quoted freely, with translations and commentary provided. This book is the first major account of Hölderlin in English to offer the student and general reader a critical account of a vital body of work which matters to any study of poetry and to all who are interested in poetry's relationships to madness. It is essential reading in the understanding of how tragedy pervades literature and politics, and how tragedy has been regarded and written about, from Hegel to Walter Benjamin.

Hölderlin-Rousseau: Inventive Rückkehr (Historische Diskursanalyse der Literatur)
by Jürgen LinkMit dieser Studie legt der Dortmunder Literatur- und Diskurstheoretiker die erste umfassende Monographie zur gar nicht zu überschätzenden Bedeutung Rousseaus für Hölderlin vor. Dabei dient die sorgfältige Analyse der Rezeption als Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung eines "höher aufgeklärten" Hölderlinbilds: das Konzept einer "inventiven" (d.h. gerade nicht "regressiven") "Rückkehr zur Natur" erlaubt die Übersetzung der "religiösen" Termini ("Götter" usw.) in mit dem zeitgenössischen Wissen kompatible Vorstellungen. Hölderlin - kein verirrter Noch-Grieche oder Schon-Heidegger in der Goethezeit, sondern ein absolut zeitgenössischer Moderner, ein "höher Aufgeklärter".
Hölderlin und die Folgen
by Rüdiger GörnerEin Zeichen sind wir, deutungslos. Schmerzlos sind wir und haben fast / Die Sprache in der Fremde verloren. So beginnt Friedrich Hölderlins Hymne, die dem Gedächtnis gilt, der Göttin der Erinnerung, Mnemosyne. Dieses Buch will den Dichter der Dichter erinnern und das, was seine Dichtungen, die ihresgleichen in der deutschen Sprache nicht kennen, an Fragwürdigem angeregt, ja, ausgelöst haben. Die hier unternommenen Zugänge gelten einem zu seiner Zeit Ausgegrenzten, einem Sprachkünstler, den seine Zeitgenossen zum Fremden erklärten, bis er sich selbst fremd wurde. Diese mehrfache Fremdheitserfahrung Hölderlins wurde später durch ideologisch motivierte Heimholungsversuche und Vereinnahmungen konterkariert. Rüdiger Görner stellt diesen komplexen Zusammenhang als einen in der jüngeren Literaturgeschichte besonderen Fall dar.
Hölderlin’s Dionysiac Poetry: The Terrifying-Exciting Mysteries
by Lucas MurreyThis book casts new light on the work of the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin (1770 – 1843), and his translations of Greek tragedy. It shows Hölderlin’s poetry is unique within Western literature (and art) as it retrieves the socio-politics of a Dionysiac space-time and language to challenge the estrangement of humans from nature and one other.In this book, author Lucas Murrey presents a new picture of ancient Greece, noting that money emerged and rapidly developed there in the sixth century B.C. This act of monetization brought with it a concept of tragedy: money-tyrants struggling against the forces of earth and community who succumb to individual isolation, blindness and death. As Murrey points out, Hölderlin (unconsciously) retrieves the battle between money, nature and community and creatively applies its lessons to our time.But Hölderlin’s poetry not only adapts tragedy to question the unlimited “machine process” of “a clever race” of money-tyrants. It also draws attention to Greece’s warnings about the mortal danger of the eyes in myth, cult and theatre. This monograph thus introduces an urgently needed vision not only of Hölderlin hymns, but also the relevance of disciplines as diverse as Literary Studies, Philosophy, Psychology (Psychoanalysis) as well as Religious and Visual (Media) Studies to our present predicament, where a dangerous visual culture, through its support of the unlimitedness of money, is harming our relation to nature and one another.“Here triumphs a temperament guided by ancient religion and that excavates, in Hölderlin’s translations, the central god Dionysus of Greek tragedy.”“Lucas Murrey shares with his subject, Hölderlin, a vision of the Greeks as bringing something vitally important into our poor world, a vision of which few classical scholars are now capable.”—Richard Seaford, author of Money and the Early Greek Mind and Dionysus.“Here triumphs a temperament guided by ancient religion and that excavates, in Hölderlin’s translations, the central god Dionysus of Greek tragedy.”—Bernhard Böschenstein, author of “Frucht des Gewitters”. Zu Hölderlins Dionysos als Gott der Revolution and Paul Celan: Der Meridian.“Lucas Murrey takes the god of tragedy, Dionysus, finally serious as a manifestation of the ecstatic scream of liberation and visual strategies of dissolution: he pleasantly portrays Hölderlin’s idiosyncratic poetic sympathy.”—Anton Bierl, author of Der Chor in der Alten Komödie. Ritual and Performativität“Hölderlin most surely deserved such a book.”—Jean-François Kervégan, author of Que faire de Carl Schmitt?“…fascinating material…”—Noam Chomsky, author of Media Control and Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe.
