Book excerpt: The Lion of Africa An elderly story teller tells a tale of how Hannibal leads an expeditionary force of 60,000 men and 37 war elephants across the Alpine heights into Italy. Hannibal descends into Italy, bringing the war to the surprised Romans. Here he recruits the Celtic tribes that have been warring with Rome and with tactical wizardry destroys one army after another. At the battle of Cannae Hannibal kills some 70,000 Romans in a single afternoon and brings the Roman republic to its knees. It is only the consul FABIUS and his young pupil SCIPIO who save the republic. With indomitable determination the two are able to help Rome recover from great loss. Alone in Italy, Hannibal has to conduct a war of attrition with no help from home, betrayed by his own government. Scipio, having witnessed Hannibal's brilliance on the battlefield and having learned from his rival, takes the war to Africa where he ravages the Carthaginian countryside in an attempt to draw Hannibal from Italy. The lion-hearted Hannibal returns to the defense of his homeland and engages Scipio at Zama where he is soon transformed from predator to prey.

Download or read book Eye Level written by Jenny Xie and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY Winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, selected by Juan Felipe Herrera For years now, I’ve been using the wrong palette. Each year with its itchy blue, as the bruise of solitude reaches its expiration date. Planes and buses, guesthouse to guesthouse. I’ve gotten to where I am by dint of my poor eyesight, my overreactive motion sickness. 9 p.m., Hanoi’s Old Quarter: duck porridge and plum wine. Voices outside the door come to a soft boil. —from “Phnom Penh Diptych: Dry Season” Jenny Xie’s award-winning debut, Eye Level, takes us far and near, to Phnom Penh, Corfu, Hanoi, New York, and elsewhere, as we travel closer and closer to the acutely felt solitude that centers this searching, moving collection. Animated by a restless inner questioning, these poems meditate on the forces that moor the self and set it in motion, from immigration to travel to estranging losses and departures. The sensual worlds here—colors, smells, tastes, and changing landscapes—bring to life questions about the self as seer and the self as seen. As Xie writes, “Me? I’m just here in my traveler’s clothes, trying on each passing town for size.” Her taut, elusive poems exult in a life simultaneously crowded and quiet, caught in between things and places, and never quite entirely at home. Xie is a poet of extraordinary perception—both to the tangible world and to “all that is untouchable as far as the eye can reach.”
Download or read book The Poetic Eye Occasional Writings 1982 2012 written by Michael Sharkey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of the Australian poet Michael Sharkey’s uncollected essays and occasional writings on poetics and poets, chiefly Australian and New Zealand. Reviews and conversations with other poets highlight Sharkey’s concern with preserving and interrogating cultural memory and his engagement with the practice and championing of poetry. Poets discussed range from Lord Byron to colonial-era and early-twentieth-century poets (Francis Adams, David McKee Wright, and Zora Cross), under-represented Australian women poets of World War I, traditionalists and experimentalists, including several ‘New Australian Poetry’ activists of the 1970s, and contemporary Australian and New Zealand poets. Writings on poetics address form and tradition, the teaching and reception of poetry, and canon-formation. The collection is culled from commissioned and occasional contributions to anthologies of practical poetics, journals devoted to literary and cultural history and book reviewing, as well as newspaper and small-magazine features from the 1980s to the present. The writing reflects Sharkey’s poetic practice and pedagogy relating to the teaching of literature, rhetorical analysis, cultural studies, and writing in universities, schools, and cultural organizations in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Germany. It also evidences Sharkey’s familiarity with literatures written in English and his wider career in publishing, editing, free-lance journalism, and the promotion of Australian and New Zealand literature, especially poetry.
Download or read book Seeing With Poetic Eyes written by Benjamin Blaisdell and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Seeing with poetic eyes” is a phrase used by a teacher to describe one of his students, a teenager who could recognize the disconnect between U. S. society’s claims about racial equity and its actual commitment towards that equity. As a teacher, he saw it as his mission to help all of his students see the world in such a critical way with that hope that they would be motivated to pursue antiracism more actively in their lives. In this book, I discuss how critical race theory (CRT) can motivate research on race in sociology of education in a similar way. Specifically, I describe how CRT helped me work with seven white teachers on developing more critical understandings of race. In my ethnographic interviews with these teachers, the analytical tools of CRT gave me a way to openly dialogue with them about issues of race in education. I was able to not only learn from the teachers but also work with them on developing racial awareness. Instead of relying on more liberal forms of sociological research—where the researcher extracts data from participants—CRT helped me promote a more critical approach, one where the researcher and participants work together to actively pursue antiracism in the research act itself. So “seeing with poetic eyes” refers the way that I have come to view research as a means of antiracism. Similarly, I propose that CRT can promote such a critical approach to research on race in the field of sociology of education.
Download or read book Poetic Eyes written by Sabrina Lynelle Houston and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-05-12 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LOVELY LADY BELIEVES IN HERSELF SHE’S STRONG WILLED AND CONFIDENT WITHOUT A DOUBT HER SENSE OF HUMOR, INTELLIGENCE, AND WIT ALLOWS HER TO ACCEPT CRITICISM AND NOT POUT… A LOVELY LADY, I TRULY AM I AM A LOVELY LADY, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE… * * * The author’s creative efforts are based on her feelings, actual experiences, and her runaway imagination for love and romance. Her mixed genre of poetry ranges from family/friends and love/relationships to poignant and spiritual. She says that feelings are simply expressions of the heart as seen through the windows of our eyes and should be shared. In our own uniqueness each of us still experience some of the same trials and tribulations as well as blessings. Our darkness is only temporary and will be a testimony to help others who are going through the same things or worse. There is always a bright light in the end, because God will never leave us alone. It is His promise. Also, when you are blessed, you should share your blessings with others. God works in mysterious ways. It is her hope that this book touches you to a degree that you realize you are not alone during your heartache and pain. Maybe you will be able to let your wall down and love again or know when to let go and move on. Her intentions are to inspire you to love and accept yourself and also to encourage you to cope with and overcome the storms of life. She will not believe that her poetry has been written in vain; therefore, she gives God all the praise and glory.

Download or read book The Lesbian Muse and Poetic Identity 1889 1930 written by Sarah Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history the poetic muse has tended to be (a passive) female and the poet male. This dynamic caused problems for late Victorian and twentieth-century women poets; how could the muse be reclaimed and moved on from the passive role of old? Parker looks at fin-de-siècle and modernist lyric poets to investigate how they overcame these challenges and identifies three key strategies: the reconfiguring of the muse as a contemporary instead of a historical/mythological figure; the muse as a male figure; and an interchangeable poet/muse relationship, granting agency to both.

Download or read book Poetic License written by Max Roytenberg and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Max Roytenberg's newest collection of verse, Poetic License, draws on his life experience of nearly eighty years of living, work, travel, death, losses, and triumphs in the public arena and in private life. In this new work, he sums up his perspective on life. He shares his views of our current world of the twenty-first century, identifying his hopes and fears and demanding the freedom to express his views, some of them not politically correct. In works written over the last fifty years, in prose and in verse, he contemplates the extraordinary changes we are facing in nearly every aspect of the future we face, technology, faith, demographics, world governance, medicine, and relations between men, women, and nations. He calls us to account and to action in the face of prospects he feels many are not too happy about. This collection presents both cries of protest and remedies, along with consultations and exhortations. Poetic License is not an offer of comfort, but rather an appeal to our courage.
Download or read book A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education written by Catherine Homan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education: The Play of the In-Between explores the ways in which both play and poetry orient us toward what surpasses us. Catherine Homan develops an original account of poetic education that builds on Friedrich Hölderlin’s idea of poetry as a teacher of humanity. Whereas aesthetic education emphasizes judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic education foregrounds self-formation and openness to the other. Critically engaging the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play call for a particular stance in the world and with others. Open toward the infinite while simultaneously reaching toward its own finitude, the poetic work addresses us and invites our response. Poetry reveals the human condition as “in-between” and dialogical, even at the limits of language. Although many philosophers mistakenly view play as frivolous, Homan takes play seriously. Play--spontaneous and creative--resists mastery and instead requires an active attunement to the to-and-fro movement of the world, of others, and ourselves. A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education demonstrates that poetic education, as learning to listen, provides vital resources for responding to alterity in meaningful ways that resist totalization.
