This book was released on 2003-08-28 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last fifty years Irish poets have produced some of the most exciting poetry in contemporary literature, writing about love and sexuality, violence and history, country and city. This book provides a unique introduction to major figures such as Seamus Heaney, but also introduces the reader to significant precursors like Louis MacNeice or Patrick Kavanagh, and vital contemporaries and successors: among others, Thomas Kinsella, Paul Muldoon and Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill. Readers will find discussions of Irish poetry from the traditional to the modernist, written in Irish as well as English, from both North and South. This Companion, the only book of its kind on the market, provides cultural and historical background to contemporary Irish poetry in the contexts of modern Ireland but also in the broad currents of modern world literature. It includes a chronology and guide to further reading and will prove invaluable to students and teachers alike.

Book excerpt: C.K. Williams (1936-2015) was the most challenging American poet of his generation, a poet of intense and searching originality who made lyric sense out of the often brutal realities of everyday life. His poems are startlingly intense anecdotes on love, death, secrets and wayward thought, examining the inner life in precise, daring language. This was the first retrospective of Williams' work from Bloodaxe, published at the same time as a new collection, Flesh and Blood, in 1988, and later followed by New and Selected Poems (1995) and Collected Poems (2006).

Download or read book Still Burning written by Alinda Wasner and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I will always be grateful for my husband Hal for his steadfast support and enduring patience, who understood my need to pursue my passion; for the members of The Detroit Writers Guild's years of encouragement and keen insights; to the Burton Historical Collection of The Detroit Public Library Main Branch where the originals of these works and others are archived in The Michigan Writers collection; and for Professors Allen Koppenhaver and Herbert Merrill of Wittenberg University who not only helped light the fire under a budding writer, but tended it masterfully at the beginning so it would not die out. Over the years, some works have been lost in moves or in computer crashes and I especially grieve the loss of Ruby Falls, which was first place winner in the 1989 Mr. Cogito Press publication, and the poem RBIs which never found its way to publication but was dedicated to a childhood friend whose passion for baseball equaled mine for painting word pictures. I still hold onto the hope that these will surface some day. Thanks also to the publishers at Ex Libris who have assisted me every step of the way during the 18 month publishing process. This book is divided into 5 sections. Because I wrote mainly fiction from 1963-1983, fewer poems appear in the first three sections. Due to work constraints, I began in 1989 to encapsulate my ideas for fiction into vignettes that I hoped would ultimately be developed into longer works; but as time went by I began to see that I had so many vignettes that seemed to fit into the realm of poetry, I began to look at them anew and rework them into poetic form. My purpose in collecting these works was to fulfill the request of my children that they have a tangible collection of my work without having to go through file cabinets of papers and photos when I die and try to decide what to keep or throw out. This way they can gather once a year if they wish to, and I hope they will, to read through those other papers and journals and not have to worry about having to store them in their own basements or attics. Although some of the early poems were published relatively soon after they were written, many poems were written decades before I had the time to send them out for publication.

Download or read book Telephone Poles and Other Poems written by John Updike and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second collection of John Updike's poetry is equally divided between poems that, in their verbal jugglery and humorous bias, seem to qualify as “light” and poems that, one way or other, cross the problematic border into the general realm of poetry. The distinction cannot be clear-cut. The poet is consistently concerned with Man’s cosmic embarrassment, and the same vision illuminates the creatures of “The High Hearts” and “Seagulls.” Science and religion, so frequently and variously invoked, frame a single paradox, the paradox of the mundane; and each poem, whether inspired by an antic headline or a suburban landscape, rejoices in the elusive surface of created things. When The Carpentered Hen, John Updike’s first collection of verse, was published, Phyllis McGinley wrote: “I have been happily reading Mr. Updike in The New Yorker for some time and am happy, now, to own him collected. When he first appeared in that magazine, I was so elated to see a new name in light verse that I felt like crying with the Ancient Mariner ‘A Sail, A Sail!’ His is what poetry of this sort exactly out to be—playful but elegant, sharp-eyed, witty.” In the Saturday Review, David McCord wrote: “Furthermore, he is a graceful border-crosser (light verse to poem) as Auden has been; as Betjeman and McGinley frequently are.”

Download or read book The Great War in Irish Poetry written by Fran Brearton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War in Irish Poetry explores the impact of the First World War on the work of W. B. Yeats, Robert Graves, and Louis MacNeice in the period 1914-45, and on three contemporary Northern Irish poets, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney, and Michael Longley. Its concern is to place their work, andmemory of the Great War, in the context of Irish politics and culture in the twentieth century. The historical background to Irish involvement in the Great War is explained, as are the ways in which issues raised in 1912-20 still reverberate in the politics of remembrance in Northern Ireland,particularly through such events as the Home Rule cause, the loss of the Titanic, the Battle of the Somme, the Easter Rising. While the Great War is perceived as central to English culture, and its literature holds a privileged position in the English literary canon, the centrality of the Great War to Irish writing has seldom been recognised. This book shows first, that despite complications in Irish domestic politicswhich led to the repression of memory of the Great War, Irish poets have been drawn throughout the century to the events and images of 1914-18. This engagement is particularly true of those writing in the 'troubled' Northern Ireland of the last thirty years. The second main concern is the extent towhich recognition of the importance of the Great War in Irish writing has itself become a casualty of competing versions of the literary canon.
