Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Door: And Other Poems The Door I sing the praises of the common door, Which slams so loudly when the servant-girl Forgets to close it, and the autumn roar Hastens to enter with its leaves awhirl. I do not praise it that its knob is bright That in its brass the chore-man sees his face So long distorted as in woeful plight When down to polish it he takes his place. Nor do I praise it for its blue or green, That's my affair whatever be its hue. I praise it proudly that it stands between What's in, what's out, and cuts the world in two. Two-faced, it sees the winter and my fire, And blesses both; and in the darksome night When stars flock down about the village spire, It stands between great darkness and my light. It sends back bleak December to the hill, The January snow it bids to wait Like an unwelcome guest upon the sill, And when the sun comes, leaves it to its fate. It knows a friend, and opens without groan, But once an enemy stood and cursed its latch, Rattled its knob and kicked it like a stone; It would not budge. The scoundrel met his match.

Download or read book Ten Windows written by Jane Hirshfield and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling collection of essays on how the best poems work, from the master poet and popular essayist "Poetry," Jane Hirshfield has said, "is language that foments revolutions of being." In ten eloquent and highly original explorations, she unfolds some of the ways this is done--by the inclusion of hiddenness, paradox, and surprise; by a perennial awareness of the place of uncertainty in our lives; by language's own acts of discovery; by the powers of image, statement, music, and feeling to enlarge in every direction. Closely reading poems by Dickinson, Bashō, Szymborska, Cavafy, Heaney, Bishop, and Komunyakaa, among others, Hirshfield reveals how poetry's world-making takes place: word by charged word. By expanding what is imaginable and sayable, Hirshfield proposes, poems expand what is possible. Ten Windows restores us at every turn to a more precise, sensuous, and deepened experience of our shared humanity and of the seemingly limitless means by which that knowledge is both summoned and forged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persephone, and Other Poems Eavy and grey are the skies in the slowly gathering darkness, Ceaseless falls the pattering rain on the grass and the pebbles, Damp, and dripping, and sighing, the trees wave over the pathway; Glimmering lights in the streets and twinkling lights in the windows Struggle and slowly gain on the dying lustreless day light, Clouded and lustreless day that shuddering dies into darkness. Dreary and desolate world, ah! What of the hopes of the Summer? What of the promise of Spring, and the wistful hopes of the Summer? Where are the golden skies and the bloom of meadow and garden?

Our plat of ground or lot as New Eng landers call it, is 200x400 feet, marked out on a generous scale when land was cheaper, and successive owners have refused to lessen it, and hence kept intact. The house and land fit each other and never will we make the misfit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frost’s early poems, selected by poet David Orr for the centennial of “The Road Not Taken” A Penguin Classics Deluxe edition For one hundred years, Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” has enchanted and challenged readers with its deceptively simple premise—a person reaches a fork in the road, facing a choice full of doubt and possibility. The Road Not Taken and Other Poems presents Frost’s best-loved poem along with other works from his brilliant early years, including such poems as “After Apple-Picking,” “The Oven Bird,” and “Mending Wall.” Award-winning poet and critic David Orr’s introduction discusses why Frost remains so central (if often misunderstood) in American culture and how the beautiful intricacy of his poetry keeps inviting generation after generation to search for meaning in his work.
