Download or read book 100 Poems to Break Your Heart written by Edward Hirsch and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2021 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 of the most moving and inspiring poems of the last 200 years from around the world, a collection that will comfort and enthrall anyone trapped by grief or loneliness, selected by the award-winning, best-selling, and beloved author of How to Read a Poem Implicit in poetry is the idea that we are enriched by heartbreaks, by the recognition and understanding of suffering--not just our own suffering but also the pain of others. We are not so much diminished as enlarged by grief, by our refusal to vanish, or to let others vanish, without leaving a record. And poets are people who are determined to leave a trace in words, to transform oceanic depths of feeling into art that speaks to others. In 100 Poems to Break Your Heart, poet and advocate Edward Hirsch selects 100 poems, from the nineteenth century to the present, and illuminates them, unpacking context and references to help the reader fully experience the range of emotion and wisdom within these poems. For anyone trying to process grief, loneliness, or fear, this collection of poetry will be your guide in trying times.

Download or read book 100 Poems to Heal a Broken Heart written by Richard Rucker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems that became this book were written to ease the mind of my wife, Cindy. She had just been operated on for pancreatic cancer. A close friend of ours had just died from the same disease, and it was not pretty. At this time we had been married for thirty-six years. Cindy still had a lot of residual pain from the surgery, and was very afraid to die. I wrote her a love poem, and that made her feel better. Soon, I was writing more. I wrote poems that were loving, silly, or funny, anything to make her happier. Almost exactly a year later, I was in a motorcycle accident. It left me with a broken back, and eight ribs broken. I was in a cast which left me lying on my back for over four months. I became pretty good at writing on a notebook computer, with it resting on my cast, and up against my legs. Now we both had pain, and the poems brought us even closer. Other than the time that my family doctor told me that I had cancer (which turned out to not be true), things went along fine for about eight months. Cindys doctor had his assistant call her to say that her most recent test results were back from the lab. Without any preamble or emotion, she told Cindy that her cancer was back, and there was nothing that could be done! Cindy looked as if she had been shot. Now I really had to write some words that would help her on her last journey. I wrote to tell her how much I loved her, and how much she would be missed. The disease was consuming her body by this time, and she was becoming very weak. She continued on this downhill slide for approximately three months, until she finally required in-home hospice care. Her condition deteriorated considerably, but she still loved it when I read her my latest poetry. She started sleeping more and more, as she was having her pain managed with morphine. Our thirty-eighth wedding anniversary was August 20, and she managed to hang on until then. The next day, she slipped into a coma, and died four days later. I was beyond devastated. Cindy had asked me to get married again, even enlisting the help of her many girlfriends to find me a suitable mate. Before her death, that was a funny story. Immediately afterward, it was unthinkable! My whole world fell apart with her death. Cindy used to be the brightest spot in my life, my beacon, without her I was lost. I asked around, trying to find a grief counseling group, and found a grief sharing group run by a church. It totally worked! The people there all shared their grief with me, and I returned home feeling ten times worse. Many of these folks had lost a loved one from five to ten years before, but still cried at the mention of the departed person. I didnt wish to be like them, so I decided to take action. I started in again on writing poetry, this time for me. It had worked with our pain, perhaps it would help with my suffering. The first ones were rather dark, about loss and being alone. Gradually, they took a turn. They began to be about how happy I had been. Soon my poems were about being happy again. Quite a few of them were even whimsical; they had dragged me back from the brink of despair. Instead of just being happy, I wanted to be in love again. Cindy was right; I would not do well alone. There were several ways for people to meet, but most of them wouldnt work for me. I had seen ad for an online dating site, and decided to give it a try. There was a questionnaire which contained dozens of questions that were specially formulated to find matches for people, based on similar views of important subjects. I filled it out, and hoped for the best. I received several matches, and I started dating at a furious pace. It was crazy, I was going on eleven dates a week (one each weekday evening, three each, Saturday, and Sunday). It was tiring. Although I was going on so many dates, I was getting more matches than I could handle. I didnt know what to do! I became more selective in my judging of the respondents answers, and of their p
Download or read book Spring Songs written by Poets Unite Worldwide and published by Poetry for the Four Seasons. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are an invitation to let go of the burdened self, and join our poets into the world of effervescent feelings. The perspective on Spring varies from one poem to another. Spring is intensively lived both as an individual experience, and also a collective one. Some poems focus on the harsh treatment people give the Earth, but the fact that Spring never fails to come back, chasing the long and cold winter away, reminds all human beings about the constancy of life and the ability of fulfilling its cyclical renewal. Feelings of relief and joy are abounding through the poems; clusters of snow melting here and there, the freshness of the air, the nature clad in velvet green, the bees and the animals, the birds' songs that animate the scenery, the scent of the flowers that blossom in this particular season, the sunshine that gently pats every life form. Life pulses through each pore. The balance between death and life is restored as the remnants of winter and its dark and gloomy days are replaced with a comforting light and an imperishable craving for cheerfulness, joie de vivre and optimism.In a poem, Spring is likened to a young, beautiful maiden who gracefully walks on the earth, dispersing the morose winter days, reinstalling happiness while nature comes back to life. In other poems, Spring is associated with the loved one, either present or projected in a fantasy world. The contemplation of Spring is regarded as an opportunity to assort the sentiments and the changes that take place in the outside world.Reading some of the poems, you can overcome the blurred line between reality and dreams..like a sudden, passionate dialogue between two lovers where the season becomes a reference point, being used in order to express one's love and tenderness; while others depict in vintage hues a story of longing, with an emphasis on the shattered heart and pleas for the lover's return that echo through the entire poem. There are also poems that remind the reader of one of the most beautiful and adventurous stages of life, namely the childhood. Other poems are focused on the role of words and language in recreating all these changes that occur in nature once this long awaited season is installed. Spring also becomes synonymous with tough life lessons, experienced in a Soviet gulag: a strong evocation of unyielding personal values such as dignity and strength to find hope in the most troubled times for an upcoming liberation.The poems that are included in this anthology are original, and each can be viewed as an ode or a tribute to one of the most spectacular seasons: the season of rebirth.

Download or read book One Hundred Poems from the Chinese written by Kenneth Rexroth and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1971-01-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lyrical world of Chinese poetry in faithful translations by Kenneth Rexroth. The lyric poetry of Tu Fu ranks with the greatest in all world literature. Across the centuries—Tu Fu lived in the T'ang Dynasty (731-770)—his poems come through to us with an immediacy that is breathtaking in Kenneth Rexroth's English versions. They are as simple as they are profound, as delicate as they are beautiful. Thirty-five poems by Tu Fu make up the first part of this volume. The translator then moves on to the Sung Dynasty (10th-12th centuries) to give us a number of poets of that period, much of whose work was not previously available in English. Mei Yao Ch'en, Su Tung P'o, Lu Yu, Chu Hsi, Hsu Chao, and the poetesses Li Ch'iang Chao and Chu Shu Chen. There is a general introduction, biographical and explanatory notes on the poets and poems, and a bibliography of other translations of Chinese poetry.
