Lloyd
Haft, List of publications (March 2013)
This list is a selection from a much more
thoroughgoing Dutch-language list of ‘paper publications’ which I maintained
for many years before discovering in the course of 2011 that ‘paper’ was no
longer the only, perhaps not even the best means of publication. Since then, my
blog
lhaftblog.blogspot.com
which I actually use as a poor man’s or
techno-idiot’s personal website, has become the most important channel for my
new publications. I have put a lot of the older ‘paper’ things on it as well.
This list includes
all my publications in book form; non-English titles are translated between
square brackets. Non-book publications are systematically listed only if they
are in English. The last section is the Index to Published Posts on Lloyd Haft Blog. The list is, as
far as I have been able to make it, up to date as of 26-11-2012. (The Index to Publish Posts is much more recent.) It is
organized in the following categories. Except for the Index to Published Posts, items
under each heading are in chronological order, beginning with the most recent.
In listing my translations or adaptations of poetry, I
have made a distinction between poems which I regard as integral parts of my
own work, and others.
Categories:
1. Poetry collections
2. Other books
3. Other poems
4. Translations and adaptations
5. Autobiographical and/or creative
prose
6. Other prose
7. Translations into other languages

(3) ENGLISH POEMS
I posted a lot of poems in 2011. Many of them had already appeared in book form – in the bilingual volumes Anthropos, Atlantis, and Formosa
First of all, poems that appeared in the same published volume all have the title of that volume as a label at the bottom of the post, linking it with the others. This applies to Anthropos (posts in Feb., Mar., and June), Atlantis (posts in Feb., Mar., and April, including the ‘Helga’ series inspired by the ‘Helga’ paintings by Andrew Wyeth), Formosa
Another natural group is the poems written in more or less liberalized sonnet form. This includes everything from Anthropos and Where Is the Body...The poems from Formosa
An important group (to me) is the poems inspired by Bible passages. They are anything but ‘translations.’ Maybe Marc Edmund Jones would have called them ‘recensions.’ In Dutch I have called them ‘listenings’...listening to an ancient text to see if, what, how it can still mean to me. In the Jan. 2011 archive there are several groups of hitherto unpublished poems based on New Testament passages, including St. Paul
Another group of these Biblical ‘listenings’ is the Psalm Poems posted in Mar. and May. These, again, are not yet ‘on paper.’
Hard to classify, but sharing the feature of being unprinted for now, are two short suites of ‘New Poems’ – In memoriam Li Shenquan (July 2011) and Eight Tai Chi Poems (Feb. 2011).
Newer poems are 'Reflections' (Oct. 2012) and 'Waterfall at Taroko' (Nov. 2012);
Taiwan
More translations from the Chinese:
Newer poems are 'Reflections' (Oct. 2012) and 'Waterfall at Taroko' (Nov. 2012);
