Download or read book A Suit of Nettles written by James Reaney and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of A Suit of Nettles was inspired by a German fairy tale. Seven suits of nettles are woven by the sister of seven brothers who have been changed into swans. When the time comes for the seven swans to put on their suits of nettles and regain human form, the arm of one suit is not finished. Consequently one brother always has one swan’s wing instead of an arm. The poem, like Spenser’s Shepherd’s Calendar, is a sequence of pastoral eclogues, one for each month of the year, but here the dialogues are not between bucolic swans, they are between Ontario geese! Although the goose-eye view is bound to be somewhat restricting there is much carefully observed detail about farm houses, spring in a small pond, summer in a pasture and the small town Ontario Fall Fair. There are some ambitious satirical wallops at the English critical school headed by F. R. Leavis, at philosophy, progressive education and Canadian history. Here is a poet who believes in merry invective. Lively, fanciful, humorous, this poem is also remarkable for its metrical ingenuity and skilful contrasts of harsh, brassy passages with mellifluous lyric. Parts of it were read on the CBC radio programme Anthology in the mid-1950s and the April Eclogue first appeared in The Tamarack Review.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary British and Irish Poetry written by Peter Robinson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 2715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary British and Irish Poetry offers thirty-eight chapters of ground breaking research that form a collaborative guide to the many groupings and movements, the locations and styles, as well as concerns (aesthetic, political, cultural and ethical) that have helped shape contemporary poetry in Britain and Ireland. The book's introduction offers an anthropological participant-observer approach to its variously conflicted subjects, while exploring the limits and openness of the contemporary as a shifting and never wholly knowable category. The five ensuing sections explore: a history of the period's poetic movements; its engagement with form, technique, and the other arts; its association with particular locations and places; its connection with, and difference from, poetry in other parts of the world; and its circling around such ethical issues as whether poetry can perform actions in the world, can atone, redress, or repair, and how its significance is inseparable from acts of evaluation in both poets and readers. Though the book is not structured to feature chapters on authors thought to be canonical, on the principle that contemporary writers are by definition not yet canonical, the volume contains commentary on many prominent poets, as well as finding space for its contributors' enthusiasms for numerous less familiar figures. It has been organized to be read from cover to cover as an ever deepening exploration of a complex field, to be read in one or more of its five thematically structured sections, or indeed to be read by picking out single chapters or discussions of poets that particularly interest its individual readers.

Download or read book A Natural History of Nettles written by Dr. Keith G R Wheeler and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-16 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book ever on the much maligned nettles of the world presents a story of these followers of mankind and his cattle throughout history. This study centres on the most abundant and sub-cosmopolitan common stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), but also deals with other nettles throughout the world. Tropical tormentors rich in species include the notorious nettle trees with their formidable stings which fascinated the Europeans after their discovery by botanists on the round-the-world trips of exploration in the 17-19th centuries. Many people on their travels will have met the nettle trees of the Indo-Malay region and other stinging nettles in North and South America, India, etc., which sting and have beautiful flowers but are called nettles; these are also dealt with. The first microscopists and their descriptions of the beautiful stinging hair; the uncovering of the mechanism of its action and the more recent elucidation of the toxins causing the characteristic symptoms is a fascinating one and takes up 3 chapters. The book includes the 100 major scientific works published on the common stinging nettle and never brought to the notice of the general public before. The author spent six years studying the ecology of the nettle patch, its invertebrate herbivores (mainly insects) and vertebrate herbivores (cattle, deer, etc.,) and their interactions with other plants: its secret life is recorded in line drawings and photographs (1000+ individual items). It was not possible to publish these in colour but they are in full colour on a CD-ROM (300 dpi) at the back of the book. Covered also are nettle folklore, fibre use in World War I & II, as a food, fodder, herbal medicine, growth as a competitor plant, habitats, sex (unique exploding stamens), breeding systems, variation, evolution etc.!! Some the world's most beautiful butterflies would not exist without nettles.

Download or read book The Nettle s Sting written by Warrick Mayes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nettle's Sting: I love to feel the nettle's sting The tingle only they can bring Pulsing through my arm or shin Invigorating on my skin. This is my fourth book of rhyme. Most of these poems were written between the winters of 2015 and 2016. 2016, particularly, was a very strange year, in which we lost so many amazing people from the world of entertainment, and a few sporting greats. In most cases, I was too flabbergasted to write any meaningful rhyme to mark the occasion. So, is it any surprise I choose something, as the title for this book, that makes me feel so totally alive? When I was a child, getting stung by nettles seemed such a painful affair, but as I've aged, the pain is almost enjoyable. It's not even painful, just tingling. And, as I cycle along country paths and beside rivers and canals, it's not at all surprising that I should get a few stings. There are times, even, when I try to brush past the nettles, so that my forearm or shin is tickled by their delicate stems and leaves. This book, as always, is a collection of the poems I have written over the months since I last published a book of rhyme.
