Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of images and feelings that linger in the conscience and refuse to go away. They evoke emotions the author is compelled to share with the reader in understandable language, without obscurity—plainly, deliberately. Whether it’s observing an ant, watching a rocker sway to the breeze, or simply taking a train to the city, these poems help to grasp a deeper meaning in seemingly routine actions and incidents. Many insist we evolve from profound life-altering events that lay their mark on us. However, it’s the unpretentious, simple occurrences throughout the years that shape who we are; it’s the unimpressive handful of sand we overlook that holds a million lives.

Book excerpt: Hanford Lennox Gordon's 'The Feast of the Virgins and Other Poems' is a collection of strikingly vivid and emotional poems that delve into themes of love, loss, and the human experience. Gordon's poetic style is rich in symbolism and imagery, drawing readers into a world of deep introspection and contemplation.

Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, these poems offer a glimpse into the psyche of a bygone era while still resonating with modern readers. Gordon's work stands out for its lyrical beauty and profound insights into the complexities of life and emotion. Hanford Lennox Gordon, a prominent Jamaican poet and playwright, was known for his contributions to Caribbean literature and his exploration of cultural identity.

Download or read book Cinder written by Susan Stewart and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the finest poets of the last fifty years.” —Salt to the Nth, like the truth of an ending unskeined across the crust of the white field. Though it happened only once, I am sending the thought of the thought continuing. To return to the field before the mowing. When a goldfinch swayed on a blue stem stalk, and the wind and the sun stirred the hay. —from “After the Mowing” Cinder: New and Selected Poems gathers for the first time poetry from across Susan Stewart’s thirty-five-year career, including many extraordinary new poems. From brief songs to longer meditative sequences, and always with formal innovation and exquisite precision, Stewart evokes the innocence of childhood, the endangered mysteries of the natural world, and deeply felt perceptions, both acute and shared. “Stewart explores our insatiable desire to remember and make meaning out of this remembering,” Ange Mlinko writes in The Nation. “Stewart’s elegiac bent has broadened, over time, from the personal lyric . . . to what might be called the cultural lyric. Fewer and fewer of her poems reference what she alone remembers; they are about what you and I remember.” Reading across this retrospective collection is a singular experience of seeing the unfolding development of one of the most ingenious and moving lyric writers in contemporary poetry.
