The poem is structured as a symphony, consisting of four movements, each exploring different aspects of the human experience. Aiken employs vivid and often surreal imagery to convey the complexities of emotions and the human psyche. The overarching metaphor of the "House of Dust" suggests the impermanence and fragility of existence. Throughout the symphony, readers may encounter a series of fragmented and abstract images that contribute to the overall impressionistic quality of the work. Aiken's language is characterized by its musicality and rhythm, reflecting the influence of modernist trends in literature during the early 20th century. "The House of Dust" is celebrated for its innovative use of language, form, and symbolism. It invites readers to engage with its evocative verses, challenging them to interpret and derive meaning from the interplay of images and themes. Immerse yourself in the complex and atmospheric world of Conrad Aiken's "The House of Dust" for a unique and thought-provoking poetic experience.

Download or read book The Story of a Dreamer written by Attorney Roy Miller and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of a Dreamer, by Attorney Roy Miller, is a book of poems and things to consider. Roy talks about the needed and necessary appreciation in romantic relationships, marriages and across society. This book educates on Race Relations and encourages patience and encourages love between the Races. Attorney Miller believes so much in self-respect and the way that adults allow youth to be treated, that in 1994 he succeeded at having the n-word deleted from Funk & Wagnall's Dictionary. His poetry and things to consider encourage good morals for youth to decide as the right behavior for them individually. There are many ways to reach the hearts of people. Attorney Miller chooses to use poetry to get past the walls that keep people separated. There are psychological walls that keep parents and teachers and Ministers at bay from reaching the hearts of youth. We have far too many marriages dying early and youth dying so young and we have too much hate demonstrated between the races. People were created based on the love of God, not hate from God. God loves us dearly. Hate is not a part of the creation of God, but is acquired from a domino transfer of infections of hate from long ago. You will see for yourself that this book reaches the heart. Reaching the heart is how we change people, especially youth. If it doesn't reach then heart, it really doesn't matter. -Attorney Roy Miller

Download or read book A Dream Within a Dream written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An example of Poe’s melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet’s own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker’s ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet contemplation of the speaker is contrasted with thunderous passing of time that waits for no man. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

Download or read book Break the Glass written by Jean Valentine and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As elliptical and demanding as Emily Dickinson, Valentine consistently rewards the reader."—Library Journal In her eleventh collection—honored as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry—Jean Valentine characteristically weds a moral imperative to imaginative and linguistic leaps and bounds. Whether writing elegies, meditations on aging, or an extended homage to Lucy, the earliest known hominid, the pared-down compactness of her tone and vision reveals a singular voice in American poetry. As Adrienne Rich has said of Valentine's work, "This is a poetry of the highest order, because it lets us into spaces and meanings we couldn't approach in any other way." From "If a Person Visits Someone in a Dream, in Some Cultures the Dreamer Thanks Them": At a hotel in another star. The rooms were cold and damp, we were both at the desk at midnight asking if they had any heaters. They had one heater. You are ill, please you take it. Thank you for visiting my dream. * Can you breathe all right? Break the glass shout break the glass force the room break the thread Open the music behind the glass . . . Jean Valentine, a former State Poet of New York, earned a National Book Award, the Wallace Stevens Award, and the Shelley Memorial Prize. She has taught at Sarah Lawrence, New York University, and Columbia University. She lives in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City.

Download or read book For Every One written by Jason Reynolds and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lyrical masterpiece.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Originally performed at the Kennedy Center for the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and later as a tribute to Walter Dean Myers, this stirring and inspirational poem is New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Jason Reynolds’s rallying cry to the young dreamers of the world. For Every One is exactly that: for every one. For every one person. For every one who has a dream. But especially for every kid. The kids who dream of being better than they are. Kids who dream of doing more than they almost dare to imagine. Kids who are like Jason Reynolds, a self-professed dreamer. Jason does not claim to know how to make dreams come true; he has, in fact, been fighting on the front line of his own battle to make his own dreams a reality. He expected to make it when he was sixteen. Then eighteen. Then twenty-five. Now, some of those expectations have been realized. But others, the most important ones, lay ahead, and a lot of them involve kids, how to inspire them: All the kids who are scared to dream, or don’t know how to dream, or don’t dare to dream because they’ve NEVER seen a dream come true. Jason wants kids to know that dreams take time. They involve countless struggles. But no matter how many times a dreamer gets beat down, the drive and the passion and the hope never fully extinguishes—because simply having the dream is the start you need, or you won’t get anywhere anyway, and that is when you have to take a leap of faith. A pitch-perfect graduation, baby, or inspirational gift for anyone who needs to me reminded of their own abilities—to dream.

Download or read book night thoughts written by Sarah Arvio and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable and unique work, award-winning poet Sarah Arvio gives us a memoir about coming to terms with a life in crisis through the study of dreams. As a young woman, threatened by disturbing visions, Arvio went into psychoanalysis to save herself. The result is a riveting sequence of dream poems, followed by “Notes.” The poems, in the form of irregular sonnets, describe her dreamworld: a realm of beauty and terror emblazoned with recurring colors and images—gold, blood red, robin’s-egg blue, snakes, swarms of razors, suitcases, playing cards, a catwalk. The Notes, also exquisitely readable, unfold the meaning of the dreams—as told to her analyst—and recount the enlightening and sometimes harrowing process of unlocking memories, starting with the diaries she burned to make herself forget. Arvio’s explorations lead her back to her younger self—and to a life-changing understanding that will fascinate readers. An utterly original work of art and a groundbreaking portrayal of the power of dream interpretation to resolve psychic distress, this stunning book illumines the poetic logic of the dreaming mind; it also shows us, with surpassing poignancy, how tender and fragile is the mind of an adolescent girl.
