Book excerpt: Excerpt from Californian Sonnets and Poems In dungeon darkness, far from Wholesome morn, Until at length the heavy chains unwound, My sleep was stirred, and through the Gates of Horn The pale presentment of a dream was born. It was a thing of nightmare that drew near, Big With some shapeless evil and forlorn; The midnight trembled into waves of fear; Then blasts of chill and frightful breath were blown. And round my sleep the spell of phantasy was thrown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book In the Open Hand written by Gary Chartier and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open-ended narrative, embodied in a sequence of sonnets, traces the arc of love, elegantly examining the peregrinations of delight, desire, devotion, attachment, friendship, and care. In the Open Hand sensitively limns the ongoing dance between intimacy and distance, between welcoming embrace and respect for otherness. Reveling in a love of language and ably deploying the language of love, it engages honestly and compassionately with fear even as it brims with hope. "W. H. Auden said 'A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.' With this as a working definition, Gary Chartier shows himself to be a consummate poet. Here in this volume of sonnets he addresses, almost always, a nameless 'you' with whom he shares moments and thoughts and dances. But whoever the 'you' is, the real focus of the poems is the language itself. Chartier's subject matter (these are love poems) only serves to display his uncanny ability for word choice and line construction. The words themselves often seem like something out of Shakespeare, Donne, or some other poet of a by-gone era. The sentiments, too, remind me of metaphysical poets pining for a closer connection to a beloved. The content, though, really serves to show the exquisite beauty of language itself. The vocabulary is impressive and the rhymes, often with clever non-stop line endings, are imaginative and fresh. If you, too, love the English language and want to see it displayed in sonnet form, read these poems and then re-read them. They are a bit like a short scene from Rear Window where Grace Kelly bends down to kiss Jimmy Stewart. Every time I see the scene I'm struck by how beautiful it is and how much in love with Kelly Hitchcock must have been. His adoration shows in every frame. And here in these poems, Chartier shows a similar love for poetry itself." -Renard K. Doneskey, Professor of English at Southwestern Adventist University "Chartier's sequence of seventy-five traditional, even at times old-fashioned, sonnets evinces a poet of passion, longing, and thoughtfulness. This book welcomes the reader in with a poetics of sincerity and emotion, free of postmodern ironies. Chartier is writing with skill in a tradition he clearly knows and loves. I look forward to rereading these sonnets, and to reading more poetry from Chartier." -Craig Svonkin, Associate Professor of English at Metropolitan State University of Denver and Executive Director of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association "Gary Chartier knows what love means 'from the inside,' and he conveys his experience to readers, with a fine ear for language. I enjoyed In the Open Hand and predict that many others will do so as well." -David Gordon, Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and author of Resurrecting Marx "In this collection of sonnets, Gary Chartier, best known as a legal scholar, deploys the language and tropes of the great sonneteers. But these seemingly sunny and chivalrous poems conceal bracing observations within the velvet glove of their traditional diction. Many poems close with mordant insights worthy of the Metaphysicals: 'Wondrous the parts, yet more are you entire.' This love is ardent yet knowing; it includes not only the one, but multiple, possible beloveds-including even, perhaps, the reader-to whom he issues the thrilling invitation, 'Let us . . . be wild together!'" -Coco Owen, author of Scar let Woe man and member of the Les Figues Press board

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Hundred: A Poem The California Hundred. Mine humble muse with unfledg'd wing Now raise thy voice and meekly sing; Strike the lone harp, whose untun'd string Hath made no sound before. Nerve thy faint heart to sing one song, To roll one feeble strain along, Among the gifted ones that throng Dear California's shore. Though meek and feeble be thy lay, Still may thy fairy fingers stray Over thy harp-strings for a day, And sing the Hundred's praise.

Download or read book California Sorrow written by Mary Kinzie and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exceptional new collection, acclaimed poet Mary Kinzie opens her attention to the landscapes of the earth. Her poems of richly varied line lengths develop phrases at the syncopated pace of the observing mind: “Slag and synthesis and traveling fire / so many ways the groundwaves of distortion / pulse / through bedrock traffic and the carbon chain” she writes in the opening poem, “The Water-brooks.” Here, and throughout, her reflection on the natural world embraces the damages of time to which we can bear only partial witness but to which the human memory is bound. In the collection’s title poem, Kinzie goes on to explore her own romantic griefs alongside the adventures of T. S. Eliot, “inadvertently working on a suntan” as he tours the desert in the roadster of his American girlfriend, whose heart he will break. Kinzie’s conviction that sorrow, too, is a form of passion allows her to lift poems from shattered thoughts and long-ago losses, at times blending prose and verse in a combustible mixture. Determined not to prettify but still expressing fresh wonder at the beauty we stumble across in spite of our shortcomings, Kinzie delivers her bravest work yet in these new poems. O God invisible as air My tears have been my meat sweet because no noxious thing runs with themonly fragrant naïveté of the reflective midday when bank herb and wood flower and water from the pool can best be gathered also the knowledge that these gifts are tenuous and that the mouth and the harp might soon be strange to play

For anyone who has wanted to try their hand at a conversation with poetry but doesn’t know where to start, Poetry Unbound presents a window through which to celebrate the art of being alive.
