Book South Dakota Classic Poems

Download or read book South Dakota Classic Poems written by Roy E Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, Badger Clark was judged the best poet in South Dakota and was named Poet Laureate of the state even though he spent most of his time in Arizona recuperating from tuberculosis. An article in the "Smithsonian Magazine," by Carson Vaughn, dated October 2020, is a sympathetic, if less than flattering review of the work of Badger Clark, but many of his poems were popular with western afficionados and singers.There I was sitting in Mrs. Lang's sixth grade class in Bonesteel in 1954, perusing a book of poetry that had the picture of Badger Clark, a cowboy poet balladeer who had written at least one of the poems in the text. I remember having to memorize a poem and recite it for the class, so I chose the "Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The image though of Badger Clark as a poet originally from South Dakota stuck in my mind all these years. Like him, I have been gone from South Dakota for decades, yet I still feel the affinity with the farms and prairie, Badlands and Black Hills that were important in my youth. I was, after all, born in Winner and spent my grade school years on a farm eight miles outside of Bonesteel. I trust you will count me a native.In "South Dakota Classic Poems: From Prairie Country Homes," I have placed one hundred (100) of my poems with South Dakota memories and relevancy using classical rhyme and rhythm. The range of subjects includes poems for kids, poems for the historian, and poems of nostalgia from living on a farm during the 1940's and 1950's. I suppose that makes them a bit of history also. This is a collection of South Dakota poems. About 30% come from my previous poetry book, "American Country Poetry." The rest I found scattered over my more than 50 self-published books of poetry. I have written another book about my pioneering grandfather and school teacher on my mother's side, Roy Backus, whose family homesteaded in Geddes and who later homesteaded near Smithwick. On my father's side, his parents homesteaded near Bonesteel and his mother was from the Johnson/Qualm family line that settled land near Platte.I have great hopes that many from South Dakota will enjoy this volume of "their" poetry celebrating their past.

Book excerpt: This book presents a bird’s eye view of the transition of a segment of the Louisiana Purchase into the states of Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. It offers historical data meshed with Western poetry, with each one of the book’s twentythree poems contributing a relevant insight. Topics covered include, among others, the Civil War in Montana, the “Big Die-Up” of 1886-1887, the myth and reality of the American West, and the end of the homesteading era. According to the author, Dakota is more than a collection of Western verse- it is a raft with twenty-three supporting logs that has skimmed o’er the river of Western history.

Book How to Love a Country

    Book Details:
  • Author : Richard Blanco
  • Publisher : Beacon Press
  • Release : 2019-03-26
  • ISBN : 0807025917
  • Pages : 114 pages

Download or read book How to Love a Country written by Richard Blanco and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and moving collection from the renowned inaugural poet on issues facing our country and people—immigration, gun violence, racism, LGBTQ issues, and more. Through an oracular yet intimate and accessible voice, Richard Blanco addresses the complexities and contradictions of our nationhood and the unresolved sociopolitical matters that affect us all. Blanco digs deep into the very marrow of our nation through poems that interrogate our past and present, grieve our injustices, and note our flaws, but also remember to celebrate our ideals and cling to our hopes. Charged with the utopian idea that no single narrative is more important than another, this book asserts that America could and ought someday to be a country where all narratives converge into one, a country we can all be proud to love and where we can all truly thrive. The poems form a mosaic of seemingly varied topics: the Pulse nightclub massacre; an unexpected encounter on a visit to Cuba; the forced exile of 8,500 Navajos in 1868; a lynching in Alabama; the arrival of a young Chinese woman at Angel Island in 1938; the incarceration of a gifted writer; and the poet’s abiding love for his partner, who he is finally allowed to wed as a gay man. But despite each poem’s unique concern or occasion, all are fundamentally struggling with the overwhelming question of how to love this country.

Book Our Own Special Country

Download or read book Our Own Special Country written by Dorothy Gray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honoring each one of the fifty states in America, this splendid collection is rooted in history and celebrates the proud people, way of life, and unrivaled natural beauty of our beloved land of opportunity. From Alabama to Wyoming, these hearty poems showcase the diverse locales and many moods, quirks, and charms that make every state unique and glorious. With amusement, wonder, and admiration, poet and traveler Dorothy Gray pays tribute to sports teams and music legends, historical figures and cultures, animals and plants, weather and seasons, and foods and festivities across the country. In Idaho, "Dramatic landscapes overwhelm with alpine lakes in snowcapped mountains, deep river canyons and water falls, hot springs and dunes of desert sand." In Maine, "Where glacial mountains and valleys lie with inlets hidden by sheer peaks, America's northeastern point has rugged rocks that touch the sea." Whether it's the swaying ukulele tunes of the Polynesian paradise of Hawaii, the miles of spinning wooden windmills in Indiana, the cranberry bogs of New Jersey ("residents don't call it Joisey."), or a pin dropping in the tabernacle in Utah, the imagery of these crystal-clear poems appeals to our senses and captures the essence and spirit of the majestic United States of America.

Book My Dakota

Download or read book My Dakota written by Rebecca Norris Webb and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, Rebecca Norris Webb set out to photograph her home state of South Dakota, a sparsely populated frontier state on the Great Plains with more buffalo, pronghorn, mule deer and prairie dogs than people. South Dakota is a land of powwows and rodeos, corn palaces and buffalo roundups; a harsh and beautiful landscape dominated by space, silence, brutal wind and extreme weather. The next year, however, everything changed for Norris Webb, when her brother died unexpectedly of heart failure. "For months," she writes in the introduction to this volume, "one of the few things that eased my unsettled heart was the landscape of South Dakota. For each of us, does loss have its own geography?" My Dakota is a small intimate book about the west and its weathers, and an elegy for a lost brother.
