Book excerpt: W H Davies, born in Newport in 1871, is famous for his poem Leisure, which opens -"What is this life if, full of careWe have no time to stand and stare.No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows."In A Poet's Pilgrimage, published in 1918, he tries to take time to stand and stare on his walking tour from Carmarthen to London. He describes his route and the people he meets on the road and at the roadside taverns - hawkers, tramps, beggars, rag-and-bone men, boxers, sailors. Years earlier Davies fell and crushed his foot while attempting to jump a freight train in Ontario, his lower leg had to be amputated and since then he wore a wooden leg.Between 1893 and 1899 Davies spent years drifting, begging and taking on seasonal work in America - this time is chronicled in his The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp.

Edward Thomas 1878-1917 turned from writing prose to poetry in 1914. His work as a poet has been widely celebrated and admired - Ted Hughes described Thomas as "the father of us all".

Download or read book Native Guard enhanced Audio Edition written by Natasha Trethewey and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in this audio-enhanced edition are recordings of the U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey reading Native Guard in its entirety, as well as an interview with the poet from the HMH podcast The Poetic Voice, in which she recounts what it was like to grow up in the South as the daughter of a white father and a black mother and describes other influences that inspired the work. Experience this Pulitzer Prize–winning collection in an engaging new way. Growing up in the Deep South, Natasha Trethewey was never told that in her hometown of Gulfport, Mississippi, black soldiers had played a pivotal role in the Civil War. Off the coast, on Ship Island, stood a fort that had once been a Union prison housing Confederate captives. Protecting the fort was the second regiment of the Louisiana Native Guards -- one of the Union's first official black units. Trethewey's new book of poems pays homage to the soldiers who served and whose voices have echoed through her own life. The title poem imagines the life of a former slave stationed at the fort, who is charged with writing letters home for the illiterate or invalid POWs and his fellow soldiers. Just as he becomes the guard of Ship Island's memory, so Trethewey recalls her own childhood as the daughter of a black woman and a white man. Her parents' marriage was still illegal in 1966 Mississippi. The racial legacy of the Civil War echoes through elegiac poems that honor her own mother and the forgotten history of her native South. Native Guard is haunted by the intersection of national and personal experience.
Download or read book Anna Akhmatova written by Amanda Haight and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This striking biography, the first ever written about the great Russian poet, Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966), illuminates Akhmatova's dramatic personal and professional struggles. From the isolation of the twenty-five years she was banned from publishing her work, and the sorrow of her tragic losses--her first husband executed by Stalin, her second dead in the work camps, and her son imprisoned for fourteen years--to her final years of triumph receiving public acclaim as the country's foremost woman poet, this compelling, authoritative account traces the relationship between her writings and her life. Haight provides elegant translations and detailed analyses of Akhmatova's finest works, including "Requiem" and "Poem without a Hero," revealing the brilliance of this now highly praised poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Poet's Pilgrimage Leaving the Institute at last I soon entered a tavern, to have my first drink of the evening. There were quite a num ber of customers present, but only one drew my attention, because of his wild behaviour. This was a youth Of about seventeen years of age who, I judged, was now taking the. First intoxicating drink of his life. He did not seem to be at all dangerous, in Spite of the manner in which he threw his body here and there, and the whole company appeared to be amused at him. I wish that I could meet my father now, cried the youth, shaking his head and giving the bar a kick. I gathered that the landlord had refused to serve him with more drink, for two of his friends, one on each side, were trying to lead him to the door. At last they managed to get him there, and the last words I heard as they went into the street were, Oh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
