Download or read book Memoirs of a Poem Hunting Man written by Elias Sassoon and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than write a formal memoir, I have created a series of poems that encapsulate my life in thought and body. The collection is a personal discourse with people known during my life, as well as my reflections on self and the world outside my body. I devised predetermined chapters. When a poem came to me, I placed it, banged it out, and randomly moved on to the next. This way, I was able to complete hundreds of poems relatively quickly. Here are the finalized chapters: Familiar In The Family; Relations Had Without Relations; Worldly Issues. Soulful Conceptions; Autobiographical Bits Of Flesh; Older Aging Insights; Natural World Incinerations; Jazz In The Words; Moments In Time; Places In The Mind. While I attempted to be as inclusive as possible, I fell short. The effort to incorporate every moment of proved too difficult. Still I am proud of the attempt and I do think I managed to capture the essence of my entire existence. Enjoy the poems.

Download or read book Hunting Men written by Dave Smith and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hunting Men, poet Dave Smith reasserts the validity of poetry in our times. With eloquence, grace, and a searching intelligence, Smith illuminates both poems and poets. Believing that "great poetry cannot be divorced from an intimate, organic link to place," he builds a compelling case for the importance of southern poets. Like the hunters who taught Smith as a young man patience, observation, and willingness to rely on his senses, he leads readers on an expedition through a specific poetic place with a sure sense of direction and destination.Beginning with a discussion of southern poetry that seeks to define the form and its value for a global readership, the first of the book's three sections also includes reflections on Edgar Allan Poe, John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, and James Dickey. In the second part, Smith focuses on contemporary poets Richard Hugo, Stephen Dunn, Stephen Dobyns, and Larry Levis, among others. In the final chapters, he examines how he came to be a poet and reflects on the nature and practice of poetry.Smith describes himself as a poet born and raised in the South "but never entirely comfortable with the neighborhood or many of the public assumptions about southernness." By describing why southern poetry is important to him, he reveals why poetry matters to all of us as he asserts the moral weight of regional art. "My success, if it occurs, will be to send readers to the books of the poets where the world, as they knew it, waits and is full of the delights of the unglimpsed and known."
Download or read book The Hunt in the Forest written by John Burnside and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its title from Uccello's famous painting of a band of men - on foot and on horseback - massing for the chase, John Burnside's new poems take us on a journey out of the light and into the darkness, where we may just as easily lose ourselves as find what we are looking for. In these poems of hunting and predation, Burnside explores our most deep-rooted and primeval pursuits: romantic love, memory, selfhood, grief, the recollection of the dead. Yet just as we seek, so are we sought out: at any moment we may slide into loss or be gathered in by some otherworldly light; at any moment, the angel of the annunciation may seek us out and demand some astonishing transformation. Even in the pursuit of love, or in the exercise of memory, we fall into snares and become entangled in veils; just as we are always on the point of discovery, so we are always a hair's-breadth away from being lost. Concerned with love and mourning, with what we discover and what remains hidden - with learning how to follow the trail through the forest and find the way home - above all, these poems are about the quest: knowing that whatever we bring back from the hunt, it is always hard-won and never fully our own. With this extraordinary collection of fleet and deftly beautiful poems, John Burnside confirms his place at the forefront of writing, as one of a handful of truly important British poets working today.
Download or read book The Language of Siegfried Sassoon written by Marcello Giovanelli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of the writing of Siegfried Sassoon, a First World War poet who has typically been perceived as a poet of protest and irony, but whose work is in fact multi-faceted and complex in theme and shifted in style considerably throughout his lifetime. The author starts from the premise that a more systematic account of Sassoon’s style is possible using the methodology of contemporary stylistics, in particular Cognitive Grammar. Using this as a starting point, he revisits common ideas from Sassoon scholarship and reconfigures them through the lens of cognitive stylistics to provide a fresh perspective on Sassoon's style. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of stylistics, war poetry, twentieth-century literature, and cognitive linguistics.
Download or read book Hunting Memory written by Barry Middleton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike my other books of poetry, these verses were all written recently. I hope I have not outgrown naivety. My poetry is studiously emotional, personal and simple. It has been my lifelong belief that poetry should be consumable by and speak to common people. My poetry is about life, most notably my life. Some might call it provincial. It is definitely not a study of literature nor has it anything to do with fashion. My poetry is about feelings, success and failure. It is about rebirth, ruts, observations, mistakes, love, joy, tears, unrequited dreams and memories. "Hunting Memory" is a reflection of what the title implies. I have searched my memory and imagination for themes and inspiration. Many of the places and experiences are unique to my life. However, it is my belief that a common thread runs through all human experience. I think the reader can identify and I hope the reader will enjoy this journey as much as I have and that an occasional thought or memory will be stirred.

For John, the hunt is no longer about killing, but about life.

Download or read book Siegfried Sassoon Scorched Glory written by P. Moeyes and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-03-24 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siegfried Sassoon: Scorched Glory is the first survey of the poet's published work since his death and the first to draw on the edited diaries and letters. We learn how Sassoon's family background and Jewish inheritance, his troubled sexuality, his experience of war - in particular his public opposition to it - his relationship to the Georgian poets and other writers, and his eventual withdrawal to country life shaped his creativity. Sassoon's status as a war poet has overshadowed his wider achievements and the complex personality behind them. This critical evaluation of Sassoon's work is long overdue and will provide a valuable starting-point for future reappraisals of a writer for whom life and art were fused.
