Download or read book Letters to a Young Poet written by Rainer Maria Rilke and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1993-09-17 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rilke's timeless letters about poetry, sensitive observation, and the complicated workings of the human heart. Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life that shows what he was experiencing in his own relationship to life and work when he wrote them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author’s third book of poetry offers “quick reads.” “I keep them short, because I want potential readers to crave more,” states Juanita Alexandria Davis. “This is the first time I have ever had any illustrations. Fourteen of the poems are color illustrated with my suggestions. “There are serious, thought-provoking, as well as light poems. I started with a couple of serious poems, and ended on a lighter note. I dealt with ‘skeletons’ in our closet, having the birds and the bees talks with your children, and accepting people that are different from us.” A poem from Ambition: The Aspiring Poet’s Edition: White Hair When I finally go all gray, my hair color will stay that way A silver vixen, whose jet black hair I won’t be missing No one will have to point out to me that I look like an old lady My white hair will be displayed like my badge of honor In all my grace and maturity people will refer to me as “mama” Look at all the ones not fortunate enough to be as old as me Remember Joplin, Hendrix, Winehouse, Aaliyah, and Jim Croce Not rushing my black or salt and pepper years to disappear Of course heard of a wig, and am familiar with hair dye Give me frost, bring on the snow, I’ve aged, survived, I’m alive!

Book excerpt: Future Poets has One Hundred and One Poetry Challenges, Lesson plans, Poetic Devices explained, as well as Copyright-Free poems for speech presentations. It can be a stand alone poetry unit and is great for substitute teachers and last-minute lessons. This book is for all my fellow teachers who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Kids often just need something interesting and challenging to write about: that is how this book can help. Poetry, with its conciseness, emotion, and lack of punctuation, is a great way to begin each school year and ease the kids into other forms of writing. Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it. And its personal; it comes from the students experiences and emotions. Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There is also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page. The emphasis in this book is students as poets. Its not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. Its about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime. It is my hope that this book will help your students come to a better understanding of poetry and eventually feel confident in their ability to write poems.
