Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial for Her Friends: Piero's Painting and Other Poems and Papers Florence Smith, daughter of Augustus F. Smith and Lucy Elliot, was born in New York, March 11, 1845, and died after a sudden illness, in her father's house at Fort Washington, July 19, 1871. A brief memorial by her Pastor, published shortly after her decease, and reprinted here, will sufficiently introduce the poems and few prose papers now offered her friends - which may safely be left to make their own impression. [From the "Liberal Christian" of August 10, 1871.] "The death of this lovely young woman, so lately moving in beauty and promise through the wide circle of her acquaintances, has naturally aroused an intense feeling of sorrow and sympathy.

Download or read book The Shell of Being written by Patrizia Fazzi and published by Edizioni Polistampa. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book by Patrizia Fazzi, those fond of the art of Piero della Francesca have an unusual guide: poetry, a different language intended to mirror the painting, to capture its spiritual nuances and the creative processes embodied in the finished work. She has been attuned for a number of years to the spirituality of Piero, trying to fathom his serene impassiveness, to arrest the light with the written word. In this intense volume, Patrizia Fazzi has modulated her language by adopting two expressive registers. One is terse, measured, as though the words were carved in stone. The other one, with a tone that rises towards more lyrical moments, grasps the symbology, the metaphysical afflatus, the message, the mystery of each painting that captured the emotion of her intellect.

Download or read book One Life Many Lives written by Piero Rivolta and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Life, Many Lives is Volume 3 of The Poems of Award-Winning Poet and Novelist Piero Rivolta. In this book of poems and prose reflections, Piero looks to the past while offering keen observations and insight into our current state of affairs. Wistful musings, triggered by a visit to his childhood home in Italy, about watershed occurrences like September 11 and observations of his natural surroundings, alternate with lyric poems that celebrate love, art, music and other momentary pleasures. With the original Italian poems alongside the English translations, readers have the opportunity to experience the lyrics in both languages. PRAISE FOR THE POETRY OF PIERO RIVOLTA: "Piero Rivolta's poetry is a mix of delicate sounds plucking the strings of memory. It celebrates both melancholy and passion. He is what might be called a universal romantic, someone for whom the meaning of an object or scene persists without binding him to a solitary history; but it is his talent to evoke the power of memory that gives his poetry a flavor beyond the mere stirring of words. Though his lines are short, they suggest lasting sentences of thought, ending in a "cry of happiness" for things endured." --- Martin Tucker, Author of "While There is Time: Penultimate Poems"
Download or read book The Restorers written by W. S. Di Piero and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this, W. S. Di Piero's fifth collection of poetry, are animated by an ancient vision of the human state as existing somewhere between the divine and the bestial; tense with the compulsion toward formal order and the wild yearning after chaos, these are tough poems, gritty and relentless; they indulge neither the reader nor the poet. Their austere lyricism expresses Di Piero's desire for transcendent meaning, and their unflinching attention to natural and cultural history reflects an equally strong instinct for the earthbound.
Download or read book The Faun in the Garden Michelangelo and the Poetic Origins of Italian Renaissance Art written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequel to Barolsky's Vasari trilogy and pendant volume in particular to Michelangelo's Nose, this book continues the author's examination of the poetic imagination of Michelangelo's autobiography in relation to his art and poetry. With his usual brio, Barolsky suggests that Michelangelo's concerns with poetic origins are linked in subtle, diverse ways to the meanings of Botticelli's Primavera, Signorelli's Pan, Piero di Cosimo's Prometheus pictures, Raphael's Parnassus, and Titan's Fete Champetre. Focusing on the unexpected importance for Michelangelo of the pastoral, Barolsky illuminates the role of Ovid both in the artist's biography and in his theory and practice of art. Conceiving his book as a contribution to our understanding of poetic imagination in the age of the Renaissance, Barolsky elaborates here on his previous discussion of Renaissance, Barolsky elaborates here on his previous discussion of Renaissance biography in the tradition of Boccaccio's fables.
Download or read book Skirts and Slacks written by W.S. Di Piero and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. S. Di Piero, a fresh and powerful voice in American poetry, opens this collection about public and private worlds with poems that revist the deaths of his parents. It is an important adult passage for him, and for them a last chance to leave a message: his father lying in bed, "bemused and contemptuous / of the hell in which he lay"; his mother soon to be laid out in the cheap gold flats "that made her look young and men look twice." Di Piero writes poems of relationships, of ordinary beauty, of the deep, vsieral memories that shape who we become. He reveals the art in the everyday--sometimes literally, as when he spies a Vermeer beauty in a girl with nose studs at the ATM, or Van Gogh's self-portrait in a small-time bookie. Whether describing the uncertainty of sexual love ("...your footpads / wet after a bath / left prints like / our conversations / every which way") or a panhandler in Port Authority ("Show you to your bus / or an excellent candy bar?"), he is delicate and direct at once, a no-nonsense guide to his surroundings who is moved by what he sees. His strong, elegantly simple statements of truths of feeling go beyond the pleasure of the words themselves and restore us to the thrill of honesty in our own lives.
