Download or read book Orpheus in the Bronx written by Reginald Shepherd and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Orpheus in the Bronx not only extols the freedom language affords us; it embodies that freedom, enacting poetry's greatest gift---the power to recognize ourselves as something other than what we are. These bracing arguments were written by a poet who sings." ---James Longenbach A highly acute writer, scholar, editor, and critic, Reginald Shepherd brings to his work the sensibilities of a classicist and a contemporary theorist, an inheritor of the American high modernist canon, and a poet drawing and playing on popular culture, while simultaneously venturing into formal experimentation. In the essays collected here, Shepherd offers probing meditations unified by a "resolute defense of poetry's autonomy, and a celebration of the liberatory and utopian possibilities such autonomy offers." Among the pieces included are an eloquent autobiographical essay setting out in the frankest terms the vicissitudes of a Bronx ghetto childhood; the escape offered by books and "gifted" status preserved by maternal determination; early loss and the equivalent of exile; and the formation of the writer's vocation. With the same frankness that he brings to autobiography, Shepherd also sets out his reasons for rejecting "identity politics" in poetry as an unnecessary trammeling of literary imagination. His study of the "urban pastoral," from Baudelaire through Eliot, Crane, and Gwendolyn Brooks, to Shepherd's own work, provides a fresh view of the place of urban landscape in American poetry. Throughout his essays---as in his poetry---Shepherd juxtaposes unabashed lyricism, historical awareness, and in-your-face contemporaneity, bristling with intelligence. A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation.

The verses blend to share the brightest light of Jesus through the struggle, the questions, the seeking just to be covered by His wings through the storm. All though the journey may seem short, the depth of refinement is undeniable through the trust built in the midst of such a broken season. Come along as this warrior spends time writing to the King of kings.""

Water Sport 1 Come, all who hear our song' say Yalding bells, And dim ' We bid you come ' ring Hunton's four; Then, ' Come, come, come, ' the dingling treble tells, And still the echo drones a moment more. The sunny music travelling out like bees Was pleasant on the water's wide blue glade, Where Cheveney mill peers through the poplar trees--Sweet fell the summons there, but none obeyed. Loosed from the harness of the grumbling mill Hungry for play, peal churchbells as they will, The mill boy and his boon companions urge Their crazy boat out from the bubbling verge And up the broad flood, gabbling as they row, They venture proud as Vikings long ago; Where the red butterfly with sleights and whims Mocks the stretched hand, and where the swallow skims To gild his wing with floss of twinkling dew. And in the hawthorn whence the young thrush flew The chuff vole feeds, a very alderman, Though, scared below, that old leviathan The pike shoots into surer solitude. Pleasure is there in that old boat and rude, And will be there, as long as the green planks Hold each to each: as long as Sunday pranks Startle the redhead moorhen into shelter Or on the sleeping hatch the black weeds swelter. Glorious will be the long adventurous day, And sweet will vespers be, to hush their play, When the slow ripples from the home course run For seeming miles on miles to the dying Sun, The dying Sun that even through the black Sharp-jutting mill will burn with intense light; Joy will fall deeper with the dews of night And the new moon marred with no wraith or wrack Shine like an angel to the mill boy's sight. The Scythe Struck by Lightning A Thick hot haze had choked the valley grounds Long since, the dogday sun had gone his rounds Like a dull coal half lit with.
Download or read book If All the World and Love Were Young written by Stephen Sexton and published by . This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Stephen Sexton' s remarkable debut, the video games of his childhood are once again a way to slip through the looking glass; to be in two places at once; to be two people at once. In these poems about the death of his mother, Sexton charts the familiar levels of Super Mario World, whose flowered landscapes bleed into our world-- and ours, strange with loss, bleed into it. This moving, otherworldly narrative is a daring exploration of memory, grief, and the necessity of the unreal.
