Book excerpt: This wide-ranging collection of inspirational poetry and prose offers readers solace, perspective, and the courage to persevere. In times of personal hardship or collective anxiety, words have the power to provide comfort, meaning, and hope. The past year has seen a resurgence of poetry and inspiring quotes—posted on social media, appearing on bestseller lists, shared from friend to friend. Honoring this communal spirit, How Lovely the Ruins is a timeless collection of both classic and contemporary poetry and short prose that can be of help in difficult times—selections that offer wisdom and purpose, and that allow us to step out of our current moment to gain a new perspective on the world around us as well as the world within. The poets and writers featured in this book represent the diversity of our country as well as voices beyond our borders, including Maya Angelou, W. H. Auden, Danez Smith, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Naomi Shihab Nye, Alice Walker, Adam Zagajewski, Langston Hughes, Wendell Berry, Anna Akhmatova, Yehuda Amichai, and Robert Frost. And the book opens with a stunning foreword by Elizabeth Alexander, whose poem “Praise Song for the Day,” delivered at the inauguration of President Barack Obama, ushered in an era of optimism. In works celebrating our capacity for compassion, our patriotism, our right to protest, and our ability to persevere, How Lovely the Ruins is a beacon that illuminates our shared humanity, allowing us connection in a fractured world.

Download or read book The Rain in Portugal written by Billy Collins and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him “America’s favorite poet.” The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical—“the dogs of Minneapolis . . . / have no idea they’re in Minneapolis”—to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry. Praise for The Rain in Portugal “Nothing in Billy Collins’s twelfth book . . . is exactly what readers might expect, and that’s the charm of this collection.”—The Washington Post “This new collection shows [Collins] at his finest. . . . Certain to please his large readership and a good place for readers new to Collins to begin.”—Library Journal “Disarmingly playful and wistfully candid.”—Booklist

Download or read book The Beauty written by Jane Hirshfield and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beauty, an incandescent new collection from one of American poetry’s most distinctive and essential voices, opens with a series of dappled, ranging “My” poems—“My Skeleton,” “My Corkboard,” “My Species,” “My Weather”—using materials sometimes familiar, sometimes unexpected, to explore the magnitude, singularity, and permeability of our shared existence. With a pen faithful to the actual yet dipped at times in the ink of the surreal, Hirshfield considers the inner and outer worlds we live in yet are not confined by; reflecting on advice given her long ago—to avoid the word “or”—she concludes, “Now I too am sixty. / There was no other life.” Hirshfield’s lines cut, as always, directly to the heart of human experience. Her robust affirmation of choice even amid inevitability, her tender consciousness of the unjudging beauty of what exists, her abiding contemplation of our moral, societal, and biological intertwinings, sustain poems that tune and retune the keys of a life. For this poet, “Zero Plus Anything Is a World.” Hirshfield’s riddling recipes for that world (“add salt to hunger”; “add time to trees”) offer a profoundly altered understanding of our lives’ losses and additions, and of the small and larger beauties we so often miss.

Download or read book Poetry that Motivates written by Jerald Simon and published by Music Motivation. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is wonderful. It's inspirational and motivational - at least it should be. Every poem from this book was penned to hopefully inspire or motivate those who may need a poetic pick-me-up to help them on their way.The various themes of the poems from this book include: hope, happiness, belief, faith, strength, optimism, positivity, nobility, might, experience, improvement, preparedness, perspective, capability, responsibility, potential, setting goals, self improvement, selflessness, forgiving, virtue, restraint, perseverance, humility, courage, leadership, mentorship, integrity, patience, truth, honesty, creativity, success, accomplishment, befriending failure, overcoming our weaknesses, dreaming, achieving, and so much more.It is my hope that these motivational poems may encourage someone who needs encouragement. I hope these poems may instill hope to those who feel hopeless, increase faith in those individuals who are faithless, strengthen the weak, and give everyone a greater outlook and perspective on life. We see what we want to see. We believe what we want to believe. As a natural outcome of these beliefs, we experience what we have told ourselves we would experience, and that can limit us if our understanding and thinking is in any way restricting or belittling. The more positive we can be in speaking to ourselves and others, the more positive our overall experience in life will be. We can make the most of any situation - good or bad. It is my hope that we will look for the good and find it!This is actually my second motivational book of poems I have written and published. My first poetry book is titled, "The 'As If' Principle - Motivational Poetry," and features 222 motivational/inspirational poems I have written over the past 20 years. The majority of those poems, as well as many of these poems, were written for me personally. I often write poetry as a way to motivate myself to be better, to learn more, to express my shortcomings and weaknesses, and to write out how I plan to improve, progress, change, and see the world through new and improved eyes.Many of the poems in this new book were written with my three wonderful children in mind. I wanted to speak to them and teach them.The challenges we face today may differ entirely from the problems our parents, grandparents, and ancestors dealt with, and yet, everyone has problems that need solutions. That never changes. We all have good days and bad days. Everyone has trials, tribulations, struggles, and strife. Everyone has hopes, dreams, fears, frustrations, and everyone wants to be happy. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but everyone is doing the very best they can with what they have. You can visit any distant plot of earth anywhere around the globe and you will find children laughing and playing together. Around the world, you will see family and friends smiling at each other and sharing memories, beloved family stories, and remembering the good times they have shared together while counting their blessings for having lived through difficult and trying times. We all experience excitement, enthusiasm, and pure adrenaline bursts of energy when we are living the good life and making the most of our precious moments here in mortality. We also know how depressing, dreary, and dark defeat and despair can be. We all have felt alive and on top of the world and we all have had times when we felt like giving up because for a while it seemed as though the world was collapsing all around us. We all have experienced our personal ups and downs. All people, regardless of size, gender, race, skin color, or beliefs are doing the best they can, but we all need help at times.With these poems, I hope to lift those who feel as if they have fallen into a pit of despair. I hope to help those who feel hopeless and helpless - that they may, through the words of these poems, find hope, healing, harmony, and happiness.
