Download or read book I Want I Want written by Vicki Feaver and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of Vicki Feaver’s remarkable new collection derives from Blake’s illustration of a child standing with one foot on a ladder to the moon, crying ‘I want! I want!’ In the title poem it represents her childhood ambition to be a poet; in another, she rejects pressure towards achievement and longs to return to the sensual world of the earth. This startlingly honest book follows the ladder of a life for seventy-five years, in poems that show how much is connected. Unlocking the voice of a silenced, powerless girl, Feaver writes about an apparently stable childhood which, to her, was painfully insecure: tormented with parental expectations and sibling jealousy, torn between mother and grandmother. The eleven-year-old who wanted to become a poet becomes the woman ‘buried under ice with words burning inside’, who becomes the old woman still ‘searching for words’ – fearful now of memory loss and a failing body. I Want! I Want! is the work of a poet looking for a pattern in her life before it’s too late. Urgent, accessible and deeply moving, this is poetry of witness and survival: a vivid testament to the triumph of a poet’s spirit.

Download or read book Flint written by Joanne Bourne and published by Eye Books (US&CA). This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivid, personal, upbeat &– makes you feel her happiness' - Maggie GeeA lithic love letter Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember. It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available. It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies. In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs. Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.

Rediscovering ancient travel solves many problems today as to how and where regarding ruins that are many thousands of years old, as well as the lofting of huge boulders for building. Other poems deal with family, nature, and protection of animals. Many pictures and paintings are of low resolution due to age and no fault of printing. Those signed Jeff are from my painting days from which I have retired.
