Download or read book Letters of E B White Revised Edition written by E. B. White and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally edited by Dorothy Lobrano Guth, and revised and updated by Martha White. With a foreword by John Updike. These letters are, of course, beautifully written but above all personal, precise, and honest. They evoke E.B. White’s life in New York and in Maine at every stage of his life. They are full of memorable characters: White’s family, the New Yorker staff and contributors, literary types and show business people, farmers from Maine and sophisticates from New York-Katherine S. White, Harold Ross, James Thurber, Alexander Woolcott, Groucho Marx, John Updike, and many, many more. Each decade has its own look and taste and feel. Places, too-from Belgrade (Maine) to Turtle Bay (NYC) to the S.S. Buford, Alaska-bound in 1923-are brought to life in White’s descriptions. There is no other book of letters to compare with this; it is a book to treasure and savor at one’s leisure. As White wrote in this book, “A man who publishes his letters becomes nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin....a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Letters, and Wayside Gleanings, for the Folks at Home In 1864, at the suggestion Of friends, one of Whom pledged fifty dollars for the first copy, I undertook to collect my papers and put them into book-form but when ready to write, like scores of others, i found my sight too much impaired, and was obliged to relinquish the project, or lose it entirely. But oh, the bitter struggle that ensued To give up the pleasures of intercourse with the world of mind and matter through the medium of the press, to be shut out from a realm of lightand beauty, and go down into the solemn night with never. A star, was a dreadful picture to my sensitive nature. With the aid of simple restoratives, rest, patient waiting, and The divine blessing so earnestly sought, I gradually emerged from my sad condition. But since then my imperfect vision has made resolute, and continuous literary labor irksome, even painful.

Download or read book Rainer Maria Rike 1893 1908 Poetry as Process A Poetics of Becoming written by Ben Hutchinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rainer Maria Rilkes' early verse is often seen as having little relevance to the great achievement of the middle years, the Neue Gedichte. Yet the very different styles of the juvenilia and this new maturity are united by a preoccupation with processes of motion and growth which governs both his life and work. In this meticulous philological study, Ben Hutchinson reassesses every level of Rilkes early poetry, from its motives and metaphors to its very grammar and syntax, in order to trace what he terms a poetics of becoming. With careful attention to rhythm, resonance and linguistic detail, he illuminates both the hidden patterns of the poetry and the artistic context of the fin-de-siecle. From its roots in the intellectual climate of the 1890s to the poems inspired by Rodin in 1908, Rilkes stylistic development is set against the surprising consistency with which he pursues this poetics of becoming."

Book excerpt: "A trailblazer in its day, Typographica is ripe for rediscovery and reappraisal by a new generation of designers and image-makers. Its boundary-blurring fusion of modernist experimentation, visual and concrete poetry, and environmental photography anticipated many of the preoccupations of contemporary designers, artists, and cultural commentators."
