Award-winning scholar-poet Miller Oberman's startlingly fresh translations of well-known and less familiar Old English poems often move between archaic and contemporary diction, while his original poems frequently draw on a compressed, tactile Old English lexicon and the powerful formal qualities of medieval verse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShaped by Oberman's scholarly training in poetry, medieval language, translation, and queer theory, these remarkable poems explore sites of damage and transformation, both new and ancient. \"Wulf and Eadwacer,\" a radical new translation of a thousand-year-old lyric, merges scholarly practice with a queer- and feminist-inspired rendering, while original poems such as \"On Trans\" draw lyrical connections between multiple processes of change and boundary crossing, from translation to transgender identity. Richly combining scholarly rigor, a finely tuned contemporary aesthetic, and an inventiveness that springs from a deep knowledge of the earliest forms of English, \u003ci\u003eThe Unstill Ones\u003c\/i\u003e marks the emergence of a major new voice in poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiller Oberman\u003c\/b\u003e has received a number of awards for his poetry, including a Ruth Lilly Fellowship, a 92Y Discovery Prize, and \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e magazine's John Frederick Nims Memorial Prize for Translation.
