Reviews

"""This is a kaleidoscopic scholarly and poetic treatment of the work of one of the most eloquent and versatile figures of contemporary culture. Stephanos Stephanides’s oeuvre has overrun geographical, linguistic, poetic and genre borders, leaving a legacy for posterity that will also outrun time in the cultural history of the 20th and 21st centuries. The voices in this volume that invoke and celebrate, in polyphony, the achievement of one of the most multifaceted cultural figures of our time comprise a collective of distinguished writers in their own right. A felicitous convergence in one volume of insightful celebrants and their laudable object of celebration."" - Djelal Kadir, The Edwin Erle Sparks Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature, Pennsylvania State University and Founding President, International American Studies Association (IASA) ""A reconstellation of Stephanos Stephanides’s poetic thought, Shifting Horizons and Crossing Borders engages Stephanides’s world, a world unevenly shared to be reimagined in the present. Each chapter is a thoughtful address to Stephanides’s call for a democratic poetics from below."" - Mina Karavanta, Associate Professor of Theory and Global Anglophone Literature, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens ""This bold and moving collection is a fitting tribute to the personal, intellectual, and creative generosity of Stephanos Stephanides, whose life and work have touched the lives and work of so many. The essays, poems, critical pieces included in this volume, by writers working in a range of languages and locales, engage with the politics and poetics of identity, memory, translation, and belonging in ways that traverse borders and boundaries of all kinds."" -Karen Emmerich, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, Princeton University and 2024-25 President, American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA)"
