Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Young Adult. Somewhere between the stem and the fruit is that paradoxical nexus, the point that is both connection and separation, from where you came, to what you are becoming, the scene of the severing, the letting go, the stepping away, the necessary violence and the radical isolation required to be oneself, wholly. And, perhaps, holy. "The poems are written / before they occur to me," Gwen Frost declares at the conclusion of her shattering first collection. "Something about a scar, something about a hymn." She says that poetry saved her life, making this volume a document of that on-going process of healing, and a gift and a hope for others on the same journey. Foremost, it is a document of a contemporary young woman negotiating her way through a perilous world. "Turns out, there are a million different ways to kill a girl," she observes in "Watch," a poem that references Hitchcock's advice to "torture the women" in order to make a popular film, and by extension the misogynistic voyeurism that fetishizes violence against women. This book documents more than a few of those ways, and nowhere more chillingly than in the poem "sticking heads in the sand," in which the query "How was your summer?" follows up almost casually with another question, "What was your rapist's name?" In the inventory of anticipated experience for a young woman, "summer love and sexual assault / adventures and attacks" go hand in hand, "heads pushed into sand" both an act of violence and an act of willful forgetting. Gwen Frost won't forget, and won't let us forget. She is fiercely self-examining and self-revealing, admitting her chief fear is "what I am capable of, I am afraid / that I could kill a man, / and I am afraid / that I might like it." In lieu of this (perhaps understandable) act of violence, she exorcises and expiates through her verse. In the process, she might save us along with herself. She concludes that she "will write one, unshareable poem, / and I will let it die with me, simple and / forever, folded neatly in my throat." This is her one prediction that we must hope is untrue, for we need her to write many, many more poems, and to share them for many years to come.

Book excerpt: Writing is a gift that the Lord has blessed me with. It started on the anniversary of my Grandmother Miller's death, some years back. It seemed the deeper I would go with the Lord, the deeper the understanding He would give me. The first writing was -Jesus Is the Key.- After being saved, I just knew in my heart that He was the key to everything I needed. Oh, how glorious it is to have that hope of eternal salvation. -What If Faith, - the title of one of my poems, came to me one night as I sat in my chair. My pastor, Paul Baker, was facing a risky surgery that a friend they knew passed away from. Pastor and Mrs. Baker were nervous, to say the least. This poem came to me just days before he went into surgery. The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways. The poem -The Rings- came to me one night while having some health issues. I had been sick for a while, and some doubts and fears were rearing their ugly head. I could see the rings and visualize the further you get away from the Lord, the worse things get. -Through His Eyes- came to me one night as I lay in bed. The state of our nation was really bothering me. All I could think of is, what would our forefathers and veterans think of this mess? All they fought for is slowly being stolen away. Some of the other writings were out of love for my wife, mother, and family. All were because of God's love. Without Him, none of this is possible. With God, all things are possible.

Download or read book Poetry and Paternity in Renaissance England written by Tom MacFaul and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming a father was the main way that an individual in the English Renaissance could be treated as a full member of the community. Yet patriarchal identity was by no means as secure as is often assumed: when poets invoke the idea of paternity in love poetry and other forms, they are therefore invoking all the anxieties that a culture with contradictory notions of sexuality imposed. This study takes these anxieties seriously, arguing that writers such as Sidney and Spenser deployed images of childbirth to harmonize public and private spheres, to develop a full sense of selfhood in their verse, and even to come to new accommodations between the sexes. Shakespeare, Donne and Jonson, in turn, saw the appeal of the older poets' aims, but resisted their more radical implications. The result is a fiercely personal yet publicly-committed poetry that wouldn't be seen again until the time of the Romantics.

Download or read book George Herbert written by C. Malcolmson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume replaces the traditional image of George Herbert as meditative recluse with a portrait of the poet as engaged throughout his life with the religion, politics and society of his time. Instead of an isolated genius living in retreat from the world, Herbert appears as a man writing public verse, active within an important social circle, and committed to nationalistic Protestantism. The book attends to the poetic brilliance of his verse as well as the institutions and contexts that influenced him: the upper class coterie, Cambridge University, and the Church of England.
