Baxter, Maurice Gee and Laura Ranger - Then along the way Manhire investigates why the world's best poems sound like dirty songs, tell outrageous lies, and thrive on their own mistakes.

Download or read book The Selected Letters of Anthony Hecht written by Anthony Hecht and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning seven decades, these often intimate, brilliantly astute letters by the eminent poet Anthony Hecht reflect a body of work that influenced the history of twentieth-century American poetry. Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anthony Hecht (1923–2004) was known not only for his masterful control of form and language but also for his wit and humor. With the help of Helen Hecht, the poet’s widow, Jonathan F. S. Post combed through more than 4,000 letters to produce an intimate look into the poet’s mind and art across a lifetime. The letters range from Hecht’s early days at summer camp to college at Bard, to the front lines of World War II, to travels abroad in France and Italy, to marriage, and to fame as a poet and critic. Along the way, Hecht corresponded with well-known poets such as John Hollander, James Merrill, Anne Sexton, and Richard Wilbur. Those interested in the lives of contemporary poets will read these highly personal letters with delight and surprise.

Download or read book Limericks For All Occasions written by Kenneth J. Lovell and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book of limericks came about pretty much out of nowhere one day while lunching with several good "buddies." Thanks Carl, Ed, Richard, et al.! We all had reminiscences about life in general and our experiences growing up and in our work. I was surprised how often my memories came out in a rhyme. Throughout the course of writing these limericks, I found that many of them popped into my head at bedtime or upon rising in the morning. They cover all aspects of life, both humorous and words to live by. It is my hope that they will provide humor to some and inspiration to others. One note of caution, the first names used in my limericks are not meant to reflect upon any family member or acquaintance. I dedicate this book to my "big sister," Loma; my mother, who passed away in 1999, and several siblings (and cousin Garth) who, in one way or another, prompted me to publish this book.

Download or read book Animal Limericks written by Lew Whitaker and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limericks are short poems consisting of five lines, where the first, second and fifth rhyme while the third and fourth are shorter and also rhyme-the rhyming scheme is aabba.These short poems have a long history and in looking up the facts, I discovered a poem from 1774 that you may have heard-it goes:Hickory, dickery, dockThe mouse ran up the clock.The clock struck oneAnd down he run-Hickery, dickery, dock!This type of poem was made popular in the mid 1800s by a British writer named Edward Lear. He called them his nonsense poems and while his poems kept the aabba format, his last line was usually the same as the first. About that time, this form of short poem was used as a gentleman's parlor game where each person was called on to recite an original poem. The form was called a Limerick and it is to this day. The limerick soon left the gentleman's parlor and found the streets where youth competed to create the most unique (and dirty) rhymes. I will not include any here except one mild one that I always remember from my youth. It goes:There was a young girl from Cape CodWho thought all children came from the Lord.But it wasn't the almightyWho lifted her nighty-It was Roger the lodger, by God.While my limericks may not be literature, they were fun to write and I hope folks might enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.Enjoy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Description of this Booklet If you look up "limericks" in the dictionary, you'll find a definition that mentions words like "humorous", "bawdy", and "frequently funny". This form of poetry lends itself very well to short story telling. The verses are a single stanza of AABBA. The first line, second line, and fifth line all rhyme and are longer than the third and fourth lines, which are half as long and rhyme with each other. Humor is universal. Laughter (via sarcasm, bursts of levity, and satire are the stuff that limericks are made of!) Where would we be, if we could not laugh at ourselves? I have illustrated my limericks to boost the grins of the readers. My material is drawn from a lifetime of observation. It is hard for me to take a daily walk, and not see a limerick, somewhere along the way, screaming to be written down and illustrated! Thanks to: Felicia Rose and her "Can Do" attitude and dedication; Katharine Faust, EdM, J.D. for her publication "Know How"; Christopher Mackle for his "Wizardry" for turning my pages into docx
