Book excerpt: Universally known for his groundbreaking prose - especially for the monumental novel Ulysses and its depictions of Dublin at the turn of the twentieth century - James Joyce started off as a writer of lyrical poetry, a genre which he never abandoned in his lifetime and which informs and enriches the rest of his literary production. This volume, which includes Joyce's first published book, Chamber Music, as well as his later collection Pomes Penyeach and several other uncollected poems, reveals a lesser-known facet of the great modernist's artistic career and a glimpse into his poetical sensibility.
Download or read book Secular Music and Other Poems written by Matt Proser and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secular Music and Other Poems By: Matt Proser Poet Matt Proser finds his poetic identity in nature and locality. He expresses himself through descriptive details of localities such as the Outer Banks in North Carolina, Seattle, Connecticut, or in various places in Argentina. For Proser, an engagement with place is a new engagement with life, and travel is adventure, trial, and rebirth, but underneath these runs the pulse of nature and the instinctive self that guides his language. Proser’s poems are attempts to release the primitive energy hidden within us; energy associated with the pleasure or pain that exists in human relationships such as love, marriage, friendship, or even social being, and their opposite, death. Thus, language is the staff that leads us from the outer world of civilized communication to the intense world of illogical feeling, the residue of our primitive past. In so doing, his poetry at times engages myth, the basis of all art, and music, the voice of the inexpressible. Secular Music encompasses a particular segment of Proser’s life during which he attempted disentangle the world with words that reached into the meaning of the human experiences he was having.

Download or read book The Autobiography of William Carlos Williams written by William Carlos Williams and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Autobiography is an unpretentious book; it reads much as Williams talked—spontaneously and often with a special kind of salty humor. But it is a very human story, glowing with warmth and sensitivity. It brings us close to a rare man and lets us share his affectionate concern for the people to whom he ministered, body and soul, through a long rich life as physician and writer. William Carlos Williams’s medical practice and his literary career formed an undivided life. For forty years he was a busy doctor in the town of Rutherford, New Jersey, and yet he was able to write more than thirty books. One of the finest chapters in the Autobiography tells how each of his two roles stimulated and supported the other.

Download or read book The Strange Hours Travelers Keep written by August Kleinzahler and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those aren't stars, darling That's your nervous system Nanna didn't take you to planetariums like this --from "Hyper-Berceuse: 3 A.M." August Kleinzahler's new poems stretch and go places he has never gone before: they have his signature high color and rhythmic jump, but they take on a breadth of voice and achieve registers that his earlier work only hinted at. Ranging from Vegas and Mayfair to the Asian steppes and contemporary Berlin, these poems touch down at will in tableaux where Liberace unceremoniously meets with St. Kevin and Attila with Zsa Zsa Gabor. Surprise after surprise, nothing seems to lie outside Kleinzahler's purview. This is the strongest collection to date from a poet with "the vision and confident skill to make American poetry new" (Clive Wilmer, The Times [London]).
Download or read book Nouns Verbs written by Campbell McGrath and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new collection from one of our best loved, most celebrated, and most original poets Deeply personal but also expansive in its imaginative scope, Nouns & Verbs brings together thirty-five years of writing from Campbell McGrath, one of America’s most highly lauded poets. Offering a hint of where he’s headed while charting the territory already explored, McGrath gives us startlingly inventive new poems while surveying his previous work—lyric poems, prose poems, and a searing episodic personal epic, “An Odyssey of Appetite,” exploring America’s limitless material and spiritual hungers. Nothing is too large or small to remain untouched by McGrath’s voracious intellect and deep empathy—everything from Japanese eggplant to a can of Schaefer beer to the smokestacks of Chicago comes in for a close and perceptive look even as McGrath crosses borders and boundaries, investigating the enduring human experiences of love and loss. A book that stands on its own solid foundation, Nouns & Verbs captures the voice and vision of a truly singular poet.
