Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest and richest English-language volume of poetry from “the greatest twentieth-century writer you have never heard of” (Los Angeles Times) Edited, Translated, and with an Introduction by Richard Zenith, the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Pessoa: A Biography A Penguin Classic Writing obsessively in French, English, and Portuguese, poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) left a prodigious body of work, much of it credited to three “heteronyms”―Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos―alter egos with startlingly different styles, points of view, and biographies. Offering a unique sampling of his most famous voices, this collection features Pessoa’s major, best-known works and several stunning poems that have come to light only in this century, including his long, highly autobiographical swan song. Featuring a rich body of work that has never before been translated into English, this is the finest introduction available to the stunning breadth of Pessoa’s genius.
Download or read book Slices of Life written by Michael Patrick Mullaley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to capture the essence of a man in a simple recount of his life. Likewise, it would be equally impossible to reveal his trials, tribulations, and accomplishments exclusively through poetry. But together it may be possible to capture enough of a mans soul to keep him alive in the hearts of his audience for all of time. In his collection Slices of Life: A Selection of Short Stories and Poems, author Michael Patrick Mullaley seeks to capture the full dimensionality of his existence. Through a conglomeration of memoir, poetry, and prose, Mullaley challenges the limitations of written expression and weaves a totality of insight into not only his own being, but also some deeper aspects of the human condition as a whole, exploring both weighty questions and everyday pains and pleasures. The Cedar Chair explores a moving relationship between an inmate and a little girl, and many of the stories feature a core struggle, such as that of the older runner in All the Way. Some of his poems appeal to a cerebral nature, such The Contender, while others appeal to the senses, as in Feelings. A thought-provoking collection of prose and poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, Slices of Life captures the depths of Mullaleys soul and considers questions of human nature.
Download or read book Poems to Learn by Heart written by Caroline Kennedy and published by Hyperion. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.

Download or read book Walking to China written by Rhodes Robert E. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of us poetry is a form of noise that poets make because they can. Like birds, poets are more active in the spring. Like dogs, poets growl if you get too close to their easy chairs, but respond well to any show of affection. Poets are not even-tempered creatures, but are nicer after a few drinks. They expect too much of their wives and too little of their children. I am at liberty to tell you all this because I am a special breed of poet whose noises are pure music . . . Robert Rhodes has been a teacher, editor, published poet, translator, director of a museum, and a major figure in the Live Poets Society. He was born in the South, attended U of Florida and UNM and has an MA and a PhD. He is married, has five children, lives in Santa Fe, writes poems and walks his dog.

Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way.

Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it!
