Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us face feelings of powerlessness, unable to determine our destiny because we are often victims of our negative thoughts.

Kirwan’s personal perspective on various themes: the fantasies, passions, joys, pain, and intrigue evoked by things romantic; the bonds of love that keep us united as families; the continuing search by persons of color for self-discovery; the power of the mind to define who we are; and the inspiration one can get from looking beyond one’s limitations to one’s possibilities. These verses reflect Kirwan’s life experiences and his urge to contemplate and explore life’s mysteries, portraying a search for self-discovery through the lens of poetry. Inspiring and uplifting, this collection of poetry examines our place on earth, the greater meaning of life and death, and all that happens in between to shape our destiny.

Download or read book Critical Reflections on Poetry and Painting 2 vols written by Jean-Baptiste Du Bos and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Baptiste Du Bos’ Critical Reflections on Poetry and Painting, first published in French in 1719, is one of the seminal works of modern aesthetics. Du Bos rejected the seventeenth-century view that works of art are assessed by reason. Instead, he believed, audience members have sentiments in response to artworks. Their sentiments are fainter versions of those they would feel in response to actually seeing what the work of art imitates. Du Bos was influenced by John Locke’s empiricism and, in turn, had a major impact on virtually every major eighteenth-century contributor to philosophy of art, including Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau, Herder, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Kames, Gerard, and Hume. This is the first modern, annotated and scholarly edition of the Critical Reflections in any language.

Download or read book Reflections written by Elisavietta Ritchie and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE This will be the third collection of Elisavietta Ritchie's work we have been privileged to publish, and what a remarkable collection it is. Rich imagination and a talent for metaphor are the hallmarks of her work. Here we see a poet writing at the top of her game, and game is the precise word for the often whimsical accounts she gives of the paintings she meditates on.One thinks of Keats' critical touchstone, the concept of negative capability he proposes, the sensitivity and imaginative power an artist has to intuit even the very center of cue ball, the ability of the individual to perceive, think, and operate outside the box. Poets often employ this symbiotic relationship with the visual arts, a literary device known as ekphrasis used to convey the deeper symbolism of the corporeal art form by means of a separate medium such as poetry. The poet contemplates a work of art and responds with a lifetime of experience and curiosity to imagine the world found in a given painting. Here are poems written in the voices of the artist, his wife (who might also be an artist), his mistress, his models, his viewers, his dog--One thinks of the recent popular film in which all the characters in the paintings found in a museum step out of their frames and celebrate their liberation once the museum doors have closed for the night. It seems a happy collaboration of poet and artist enhancing our understanding of a painting, as well as taking joy in the work from a verbal perspective. "How do I know what I think until I see what I say," I believe WH Auden once quipped.I think of a William Meredith poem from HAZARD THE PAINTER which tells the story of a 8-year-old Erica, a "factory of will," who when she returns from dancing class, "she dances!" Long may the dance continue for Lisa Ritchie and all her devoted followers who love how poetry can buoy the human spirit in the hands of such a fierce intelligence and curiosity. Richard Harteis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections of Darkness and Light is novelist Michael Andr Faths debut volume of verse. These 51 poems transcend the gamut of human emotion and experience, whether physical, mental or spiritual, and sometimes everything, wrapped into a single offering. The splendor of daughters, our Chesapeake Bays sheer majesty, the sublime brilliance of sport and luminosity of music, etc., are included themes giving way to those feelings of grandeur; with even the devoted care of ones 1950s Chevrolet, and the intoxicating visual seduction of a simple sundress! Yet to counterbalance while being faithful to the more somber and tragic aspects of life, entries also portray the loneliness of being a single father, sibling and parent loss, fall from grace, a beloved pets transition, a Marine Vietnam veterans catharsis and much more. These will hopefully, at the very least, entice reflection and appreciation of surviving lifes numerous and many times seemingly insurmountable and impossible challenges.
