A contemporary of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde, June Jordan's spectacular poetry remains profoundly politically potent, lyrically inventive and breathtakingly romantic. First published in 1994, Haruko/ Love poems is a vitally important modern classic.

Download or read book Poems of the Late T ang written by and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Chinese poetry reached its pinnacle during the T'ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), and the poets of the late T'ang-a period of growing political turmoil and violence-are especially notable for combining strking formal inovation with raw emotional intensity. A. C. Graham’s slim but indispensable anthology of late T’ang poetry begins with Tu Fu, commonly recognized as the greatest Chinese poet of all, whose final poems and sequences lament the pains of exile in images of crystalline strangeness. It continues with the work of six other masters, including the “cold poet” Meng Chiao, who wrote of retreat from civilization to the remoteness of the high mountains; the troubled and haunting Li Ho, who, as Graham writes, cultivated a “wholly personal imagery of ghosts, blood, dying animals, weeping statues, whirlwinds, the will-o'-the-wisp”; and the shimmeringly strange poems of illicit love and Taoist initiation of the enigmatic Li Shang-yin. Offering the largest selection of these poets’ work available in English in a translation that is a classic in its own right, Poems of the Late T’ang also includes Graham’s searching essay “The Translation of Chinese Poetry” as well as helpful notes on each of the poets and on many of the individual poems.

Download or read book Late Love written by Paula Goldman and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In so many ways, these terrific poems are, as she says in one poem, "the grasp of the sea / close and eager, the sun / a Monet / painting." And that skillful grasp, like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, holds us securely and initiates a dialogue with artists, writers, mythic and literary characters like Othello and Aphrodite, and the poet's personal memory. With poems like "The Girl in the Stone Creek Coffee Shop" after Ezra Pound, we can experience not simple influence but creative extension, much like a jazz artist riffing off a standard, and with poems like "Van Gogh's Prayer" we enter into the amazing convergence of two hearts ("Let the crows fly from my heart," the poem begins), the artist and the poet. This is a world as changeable as that sea she attempts to grasp. What we have, in sum, is a wonderful account of "how we ate, how we thrived. How / the blood flowed into our lives." -Richard Jackson, author of Broken Horizons and Out of Place, and winner of Guggenheim, Fulbright, NEA, NEH, Witter Bynner, AWP's George Garrett awards. "To see the light, one has to see the dark," Goldman says in "Golden Autumn." And indeed, to appreciate the high art of literature and painting, one has to encounter the daily human existence art both heightens and transcends. In these elegant and intelligent poems, the quotidian collides with the highbrow in unpredictable ways that allow us to see both worlds with fresh eyes. It is a fine book filled with yearning, restlessness, acceptance, and hope all folded into one rich batter. I recommend it. -Mark Cox, author of Sorrow Bread and Readiness Paula Goldman's poised and mesmerizing Late Love is intensely verbal; its texture is woven from both short and long lines and sentences. It's also both intensely personal and cultural, fusing the incidents and trials of daily and domestic life with the palpable presence of literature and art into a seamless whole, alternating between two poles: "To see the light, one has to see the dark." -John Koethe, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at UWM. Author of Walking Backwards: Poems 1966-2016, The Swimmer, and ROTC Kills.

His words capture the tenderness and intimacy between two people standing together, united against any hardship, searching for the light to take them to their dreams, and blessed by the pure and simple delight of having each other to hold and share life with.Written over the course of his lifetime, these poems go deep inside the mind and the heart of a very thoughtful and passionate man to reveal the unfettered happiness, unconditional acceptance, and unmistakable resolve that reside there.

We are the dancers. Life is the music. Love is the song." - Leonard Nimoy
