Download or read book Family Matters written by Judie Rae and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2023-06-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What a gift to all grandchildren in this heartfelt collection of poems by Judie Rae. The book chronicles the chain of connection between Judie's memories of her own solidly loving grandmother and her experiences as a grandmother on the other side of the equation. My favorite poem is the rueful "Lies We Tell Children" where "I'll always be here for you" from Grandma is received with a grain of salt by a world-weary five-year-old. I love the challenge of the powerful ending: What fractured beauty, this/child of my child, this/sprite, who hops, / skips a half skip, /slides her hand/ in my hand/and dares me/to cross over. Gail Entrekin, Editor of Canary Online Literary Magazine, and author of Rearrangement of the Invisible Through the poems in this collection, Judie Rae conveys the unique magic that can exist between grandmother and grandchild, reminding us that the lessons of love are learned by example, early in life. Her poems include memories of the intimate landscapes of her Canadian childhood at her grandmother's cottage near the Ottawa River. Looking back, Judie wonders whether her grandmother knew how much she loved her, and having read the tender poems, the reader murmurs, "yes, she knew..." Years later, as a grandmother herself, several of Judie's poems report her grandchildren's language in hilarious detail: Go potty 'morrow night... Another weaves past and present: I pat her back/to soothe/this child of my child, /as my grandmother/patted me, /her wrinkled hands, so mild, /now mine/breeching time... Ellen Dooling Reynard, author of No Batteries Required and Double Stream The image that continues to return to me after reading this beautiful and moving book of poems is that of Judie Rae's grandmother's hands, which could "lift a naked bird-all beak and veins-back to fragile nest." Poems about her grandmother rightfully begin Family Matters, as the woman's love for the little girl who has been entrusted to her care is a saving grace, a gift. Each of these well-crafted poems, those about Rae's children and her grandchildren as well, hold love lessons couched not in rules but revealed through compelling images and sensory details. Some of the poems had me laughing aloud, while others "warmed (my) eyes with tears," to recall another of the author's simple and lovely images. Judy Bebelaar, author of And Then They Were Gone: Teenagers of Peoples Temple from High School to Jonestown, and Walking Across the Pacific

Download or read book Poems for Our Grandchildren written by Edith G. Bauman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: hared memories bind families and friends together. Not least important among these are memories of stories, songs, and poems, repeated often and incorporated into everyday thought and expression. The child who grows up unaware of literature of the past is surely impoverished. To fill this vacuum with the deluge of current song lyrics and drama from television and movies is scarcely a satisfactory solution. We heard many of the poems assembled here from our mothers, and have often read or recited most of these to our children. The volumes from which they came are falling apart and long since out of print, or too bulky for convenient handling. Thus we saw the need for a compact selection. Although from a variety of scattered sources, we leaned heavily on a collection that appeared, early in the 20th century, in the magazine Normal Instructor Primary Plans subsequently published as Poems Teachers Ask For by F. A. Owen Publishing Company, of Danville, N.Y. Many of the poems, such as the Mother Goose rhymes, are no longer attributable to individuals, and are heard in different versions. Where authors are known, we have given the name and have adhered to original words, spelling, and punctuation. In the very few instances in which wording has been changed, an asterisk has been placed by the authors name and the changes noted at the end of the book. Since the collection was first assembled, our own grandchildren have become the readers, rather than the read-to. Yet, to our knowledge, no substantial body of new poetry has come along to take the place of these traditional works that range from light fancy to the joys and perils of growing up and the heroism of those who came before us. Thus these out of date poems may be even more important to the children of the 21st century than to those for whom they were originally compiled. This small collection ranges from familiar nursery rhymes to somber works on the struggles and valor of our forebearers. It is our hope that these poems may bring mirth, joy, and an appreciation of our heritage to new generations of children and to their parents and grandparents

Book excerpt: "Poems for My Grandchildren..About Life, Love and the World Around Us" is NOT a book of children's poems. Rather it is a collection of over 100 poems that share my experiences in life and the truths I believe in. My poems talk about love, hopes and dreams, beautiful places and transitions in life and spiritual blessings among other things. There are also pictures of people and places that are relevant to particular poems and serve to add color and depth. While they are too young to understand them now, they are my legacy to them, as well as, my two sons. I hope you enjoy them and find them relevant to your life's journey as well.
