Download or read book Lost parkour ps alms written by Laynie Browne and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Browne’s psalms are in a close relationship with what an individual experiences or feels. They express precise circumstances. They come as a response to a need, a thirst, a hunger. To find and underline alms in psalms: To write one’s own psalms. Browne’s psalter is grounded in the noble and prestigious tradition of song as a privileged place for personality’s input and growth within and through religion. What a freedom! What a multiplicity of moves is stressed, within such a tradition, one to which Lost Parkour Ps(alms) takes us! With what audacity! With what self-confidence!

Download or read book The Sonoran Desert written by Eric Magrane and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A land of austerity and bounty, the Sonoran Desert is a place that captures imaginations and hearts. It is a place where barbs snag, thorns prick, and claws scratch. A place where lizards scramble and pause, hawks hunt like wolves, and bobcats skulk in creosote. Both literary anthology and hands-on field guide, The Sonoran Desert is a groundbreaking book that melds art and science. It captures the stunning biodiversity of the world’s most verdant desert through words and images. More than fifty poets and writers—including Christopher Cokinos, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Ken Lamberton, Eric Magrane, Jane Miller, Gary Paul Nabhan, Alberto Ríos, Ofelia Zepeda, and many others—have composed responses to key species of this striking desert. Each creative contribution is joined by an illustration by award-winning artist Paul Mirocha and scientific information about the creature or plant authored by the book’s editors. From the saguaro to the mountain lion, from the black-tailed jackrabbit to the mesquite, the species represented here have evoked compelling and creative responses from each contributor. Just as writers such as Edward Abbey and Ellen Meloy have memorialized the desert, this collection is sure to become a new classic, offering up the next generation of voices of this special and beautiful place, the Sonoran Desert.

Download or read book Dream Logic written by Rodger Kamenetz and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I found that the challenge of precisely recording my dreams over the past fifteen years prompted the need to find a poetic language adequate to the actual encounters in the dream. (This is very different from making a smooth narrative or inter -pretation that ends up obscuring the dream). The challenge is to feel the image and then let the words arise from a deep enough place to respond. I found that certain nights or early mornings as I slipped out of dream-mind to record a dream, I felt an impulse to write a poem instead. And that is how Yonder (my first book in this series of works of mine) and now Dream Logic was born. I was still engaged with images moving in me, but now they were entering the space of the page, or more precisely, the space of the iPhone “notes.” Although awake, I was also still writing in the perfume of the dream, and carried along by that feeling, the language arose often full of imagery and eliding any secular logic.

Download or read book History and Its Making written by Joe Ross and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Histoire comment. Comment l’histoire est un long texte narratif qui constitue le récit d’une vie. Le temps est venu pour le poète de tirer des conclusions, quelques temporaires et transitoires qu’elles puissent être, de ce qu’il a vécu et appris jusqu’à présent. Il met ainsi régulièrement en scène des personnes et des voix venues du passé. Ce texte peut aussi être lu comme une sorte d’art poétique. Le fait de développer son langage spécifique et de prendre la langue à bras-le-corps amène à reconnaître le fait que nous aussi sommes le produit des langues et des vies des autres, de nos traditions. Une langue est un ensemble de vies. Au fil du temps, les littératures archivent de tels ensembles.
Download or read book Poems That Look Just Like Poems written by Hank Lazer and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startlingly direct, clear look at daily experience, including the graceful changes of direction in consciousness. At once a spiritual journal and a pared down writing that arises, in part, from years of Zen meditation, Lazer’s book continues an American tradition of spiritual accounting: the sacred, the holy, and the mysterious emerging from daily experience. These poems have an inviting simplicity to them. They are poems that reward re-reading. Hank Lazer is the author of thirty books of poetry—most recently Slowly Becoming Awake (N32)—and three volumes of essays. His poems have been translated into French, Chinese, Italian, and Spanish.

Download or read book Negativity s kiss written by Alice Notley and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negativity’s Kiss is a noir poem, with characters and a story, violence, cops, everything one likes about the crime novel, minus its robotic, skippable detail. Plus language that rocks. However the poet doesn’t know how to be straight enough to just do it-tone and genre-so this is pretty crooked. Satirical and feral, written at the time of Hurricane Katrina. The world of the poem is an international city that slides- everything slides-between being like Paris and being like New York. But maybe it’s more like Gotham City, where everyone knows everyone, and even a poet can be in the media spotlight, if someone tries to kill her. . .

(. . . ) Thierry Roger
Download or read book The Room under the Willow Tree written by Sophie Loizeau and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Chambre sous le saule, est, selon le mot de son auteure, une sorte de « poésifiction » : forme en prose fragmentée, langue volontairement fluide. Ce qui y est à l'œuvre et que l’auteure nomme le don d’instase est magique, chamanique. C’est quand tout concorde un instant. Réceptivité à la nature, aux bêtes, aux sensations, au surnaturel, à l’esprit du monde; joie d’habiter et recueillement sont les maîtres mots. Mais la contrepartie du don est sombre et cherche à tout gâcher. L’auteure écrit dans cette tension. « C’est du décousu main, et en même temps, dès le titre, prosodique ("La chambre sous le saule"), iambe et anapeste nous sont promis, comme jadis et naguère par “la mort / des amants” », écrit Michel Deguy.

What Sue in Berlin puts to the fore: The paramount importance of theater or some aspects of theater within poetry—Within any poem. Harryman's poetry is theater, at once. An exchange between voices coming from different parts. A gathering of voices. As of flowers in a bunch of flowers. An exchange between voices coming from different people.

Besides gathering the elements of my own story, I hope to encourage readers to see their own life stories in poetry, to leave markers on the trail, ever hopeful to house the energies of our new habitations.
