Download or read book Canadian Poets and Poetry Classic Reprint written by John William Garvin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Poets and Poetry Poetry, at its height, implies beauty and the driving force of passion. It implies also the austerity and emotional restraint which means spiritual strength, and it is, primarily, to the inherent strength of this Art which faces and pictures the truth in nature and human nature, that the people have turned in times past and will turn in times to come. This volume contains brief but inclusive records of fifty men and women to whom song has come first. Many of their poems are indigenous to the soil, - vitally, healthfully Can adian; others are tinged with the legendary and mythical lore of older lands; but all are of Canada, inasmuch as the writers have lived in this country, and have been influenced by its history and atmosphere at a formative period of their lives. Among them, one ventures to think, there are world voices. A recent reading of the published verse of Bliss Carman, has convinced me that he must soon be more widely recog nized as a poet of preeminent genius. He is greater than some of more extended fame for the reason that his poetry expresses a nobler and more comprehensive philosophy of life and being. Bliss Carman has achieved more greatly than many others of this generation, because he has realized more fully than they that the Infinite Poet is constantly and eternally seeking media for expression, and that the function of a finite poet is to steadily improve the instrument, to keep it expectantly in tune, and to record the masterpieces.

Download or read book Later American Poems Classic Reprint written by J. E. Wetherell and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Later American Poems This anthology, as its title suggests, is intended as a companion to the editor's earlier book, "Later Canadian Poems." The scope, however, of this collection of American poems is very much wider. American literature divides itself naturally into two epochs, - the earlier including the great names of Bryant, Whittier, Emerson, Longfellow, Poe, Holmes, Lowell and Whitman, -the later including all the living poets and their deceased contemporaries. This anthology, therefore, embodies a collection of American poems written since about 1860, omitting the work of those poets of the earlier epoch that continued to write after that date. The selections in this volume are quoted from the works of more than fifty authors. The number might easily have been increased to a hundred, but a manual such as this cannot be exhaustive. All the greatest writers of verse of the present epoch are, it is believed, represented here. Of the minor poets some readers may miss a favorite or two, but a cogent reason could be given for every omission. The present volume is intended mainly as a supplementary reading-book for Canadian High Schools, and that design has influenced the editor not only in his choice of poems but also in determining the limitation in the list of authors.

Download or read book Tecumseh written by Charles Mair and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tecumseh: A Drama and Canadian Poems HE first edition of Tecumseh, published in Toronto in 1886, had a quick sale, but, not being stereotyped, ran out of print, and a te - issue is now called for. The author has often been asked to republish his youthful venture, entitled Dreamland, and other Poems, only a limited number of copies of which saw the light. Whilst the edition was passing through the binder's hands in Ottawa, and the author himself in the then wilderness of Prince Rupert's Land, the greater part of it was burnt in the Desbarats fire in 1869. In the following pages (part II.) the major portion of that unfortunate volume is ih cluded, with such revision as seemed desirable. For the shortcomings of his work, of which the author is but too conscious, his only excuse is that he has done his best. Our romantic Canadian story is a mine of character and incident for the poet and novelist, framed, too, in a matchless environment and the Canadian author who seeks inspiration there is helping to create for a young people that decisive test of its intellectual faculties, an original and distinctive literature - a literature liberal in its range, but, in its highest forms, springing in a large meas ure from the soil, and tasting of the wood. Any work of this kind, therefore, is on the right path, and, though of slender pretensions otherwise, may possess the merits of suggestiveness and sincerity. For his own part, the writer may say, with regard to the book now in hand, that its colouring, at any rate, is due to a lifetime's observation of those primitive inter-racial and formative influences which.
