Download or read book Poetic Escape written by Clayton Hobart Fox and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of poems touching on several of the most important human emotions not the least of which is a desire to escape the pressures we all face each day even if only for a short while. With the exception of the Limericks, most of these works are written in quatrain. This is the author´s favorite form of verse and is an easy form to read and is very effective in making a statement. The author has attempted to touch on as many human emotions as he could. You are sure to find some of these works amusing so that takes care of humor and laughter. The word Pathos as appearing in this collection serves our very human need to feel pity, sympathy and compassion. As you read some of these ballads you can look forward to a sudden rush of ecstatic joy just as you felt at your own wedding and just as you felt at the wedding of your beloved daughter or son that brought those tears of joy; or perhaps as you felt at the birth of your very first grandchild. Or how about the time you got your first kiss? Remember that rush of adrenaline and how scared you were before the happiness took over from the fear as your lips tenderly clung and your heart felt like it was going to swell up and burst right out of your body. Now last but certainly not least there is sadness. This is probably the most important and necessary emotion you will ever feel. We make the journey through this life by making comparisons so if we had never experienced sadness how would we know how to recoghize joy?
Download or read book Narrow Escapes written by Tanure Ojaide and published by Spears Media Press. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrow Escapes: A Poetic Diary of the Coronavirus Pandemic is a poetic journey that is at once emotional and spiritual. In over 200 distinct poems, the reader follows the poet's musing from the pandemic's outbreak to the onset of the second wave. The poems are shaped by and reflect the persistent fear induced by the ubiquity of the virus and the accentuation of life's uncertainty as never experienced before. In diary form, the poet deploys specific images to present the virus as a leveler because its victims are not defined by class, race, ideology, nationality, or culture. The poems invite readers to go beyond our obsessions with self and materialism by embracing compassion, love, sacrifice, and sensitivity to others. Ranging from the personal, familial, and public to the political and economic, the poet reminds readers of the lurking presence of nonhuman beings and the ways in which they intertwine with human beings. The poems are themselves therapeutic, painting as it were on the canvass of a shaken world, broad strokes of poetic language that render a much better version of an imperfect world.

Download or read book Hotel Almighty written by Sarah J. Sloat and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visually arresting and utterly one-of-a-kind, Sarah J. Sloat's Hotel Almighty is a book-length erasure of Misery by Stephen King, a reimagining of the novel's themes of constraint and possibility in elliptical, enigmatic poems. Here, "joy would crawl over broken glass, if that was the way." Here, sleep is “a circle whose diameter might be small," a circle "pitifully small," a "wrecked and empty hypothetical circle." Paired with Sloat's stunning mixed-media collage, each poem is a miniature canvas, a brief associative profile of the psyche—its foibles, obsessions, and delights.
