Download or read book Lyric Poetry written by Mutlu Blasing and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyric poetry has long been regarded as the intensely private, emotional expression of individuals, powerful precisely because it draws readers into personal worlds. But who, exactly, is the "I" in a lyric poem, and how is it created? In Lyric Poetry, Mutlu Blasing argues that the individual in a lyric is only a virtual entity and that lyric poetry takes its power from the public, emotional power of language itself. In the first major new theory of the lyric to be put forward in decades, Blasing proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse deeply rooted in the mother tongue. She looks to poetic, linguistic, and psychoanalytic theory to help unravel the intricate historical processes that generate speaking subjects, and concludes that lyric forms convey both personal and communal emotional histories in language. Focusing on the work of such diverse twentieth-century American poets as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and Anne Sexton, Blasing demonstrates the ways that the lyric "I" speaks, from first to last, as a creation of poetic language.
Download or read book Blood Lyrics written by Katie Ford and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Katie Ford's is a finely-wrought lyrical beauty, a poetry of detail and care, but she has set it within an epic arc." —Poetry I lie still, play dead, am delivered decree: our daughter weighs seven hundred dimes, paperclips, teaspoons of sugar, this child of grams for which the good nurse laid out her studies as a coin purse into which our tiny wealth clinked, our daughter spilling almost to the floor. —from "Of a Child Early Born" In Katie Ford's third collection, she sets her music into lyrics wrung from the world's dangers. Blood Lyrics is a mother's song, one seared with the knowledge that her country wages long, aching wars in which not all lives are equal. There is beauty imparted, too, but it arrives at a cost: "Don't say it's the beautiful / I praise," Ford writes. "I praise the human, / gutted and rising."

Download or read book Broken Down Palace The Poems written by Denis J Lacomb and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poetry was written in my first apartment (a rundown hovel chopped into small apartments) near the University of Minnesota. It began during the winter of 1967 when I had just started working at KTCA public television. It finally tapered out around the spring of 1970. I had just come back from a self-imposed exile to Europe to find myself. That lasted about six months before snow and freezing temperatures dragged my defeated soul back to Minnesota. With a regular day job as a writer at the Minnesota Department of Public Health and a part-time (free) gig every evening at the television station, I was finally beginning to find my footing. I was writing on the side and drifting through relationships searching for what I didn't know. The poetry and song lyrics came easily as I tried to express in words the jumble of emotions surging through my head most days. It started to dissipate when I found the one and began to get more focused on her and our future together. This is just a small compilation of numerous tablets of poetry and song lyrics that I wrote before setting them aside for fifty plus years. Perhaps it's time to set them free.
