Download or read book Double Vision II written by Mike Angelotti and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Angelotti reaches out to each of us searching for personal meaning in the every day, the every moment, the every human interplay. He offers insights into our human capacity for unique seeing with the inner eye - contemplating a cottonwood or oak, a deserted anthill, a sunset, shadows in shifting light, a dropped word at the next table. Inner eye and inner ear talk to each other nonstop, telling stories of dirt roads and dream catchers, the murdered and the living left behind, the pain of Yad Vashem and Washington D.C., the wonder of twin magpies dancing on a red tile roof and the silent magic of a place for stars to walk between. Double vision takes many dimensions in the organic mind, the iPhone camera, the paint brush. Too many to count. But always there and changing and present. Through his powerful imagistic poetry in Double Vision II, Mike seeks a conversation with all of us in love with life and the moment to moment dark and light it brings to us as individuals and a human community.

Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK: a declaration of love, theme and variations. Poems from a pilgrim on his way. Spiritual views and insights on mysticism, on philosophy, on life, solving many conundrums. A poet's view. Journey Book II Time's Commotion is the second book in a series of three written over the course of a year, January through December, 2007, telling of a lifelong journey. The other volumes in the series are Journey Book I Prologue and Journey Book III Jug.READER?S RESPONSE: Many thanks ? for the wonderful book: it certainly is one of the best of the new millennium, in my view! I find it aesthetically enormously pleasing and spiritually edifying! As regards Journey, I place it in a long and distinguished tradition of many great creative works of the world, such as: The Bhagavad Gita, Divine Comedy, Leaves of Grass, (especially Song of Myself, and Passage to India) and Four Quartets! Passages like: ? Truth is truth/ It is singular/ Only God is singular/ Each rung / Has its utility/ Has its purpose ... are charmingly complex! The poem is a gentle indictment of non-moral and visionless postmodernism, while it sees the value of 'utility' as one's inner urge for spiritual ascent to a higher form of life, toward perfection! ? I write this having just read in much joy Richard Fuller's glowing review of Journey in Metaphysical Reviews. More than confirming my own discoveries in the book, the brief article reads like a testament of faith -- a fitting tribute to an insightful and sagely book of poetry meant for the disbelieving postmodern age of ours! But Journey and its twin authors (one known, the other unknowable!) are more to be meditated upon than just read! Congratulations, once again! Gour Kishore Das, Professor Emeritus, Delhi UniversityREADERS? COMMENTS: ?I find it dense with the ?great imperative? ? Paul Caponigro, Photographer. ?The English language can hardly be expected to be more graceful and more transparent? ? Evan Pritchard, Editor, Resonance Magazine. ?God bless you! You truly express the divine Fire!? ? Dr. George Arnsby Jones, Editor, Peacehaven Quarterly.

Download or read book Living Poems Writing Lives written by Reggie Marra and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Poems, Writing Lives engages a poet's vision, heart and craft in embrace of the art of conscious living. The integration of literary, psychological and spiritual perspectives takes the reader on an invaluable journey of self-discovery. Chapter-ending exercises and meditations, a 15-billion-year time line, and an extensive annotated bibliography complement Reggie Marra's unique perspective on the roles of poetic devices and imagination in promoting a culture of peace that begins with, and nurtures, an ongoing inquiry into the self. Poets who feel drawn to look within, and anyone charmed by poetry's allure, will find a home in these pages. CONTENTS Introduction 1 Structure: Knowing Our Foundations 2 The Line: Honoring Episodes and Building a Life 3 Imagery: Juxtaposing Words and Deeds 4 Point of View: Who Are We, Really? 5 Metaphor/(Simile): Life Is (Like) a Gift...a Journey...a Trial...a War? 6 Drama: Recognizing the Reality and Theater of Conflict 7 Diction: The Choices We Make 8 Punctuation: Personality and the Sentence of Life 9 Rhythm: Going With (and Controlling) the Flow 10 Revision: Interpretation, Truthfulness, and the Story of a Life 11 Theme: Big Pictures and Unifying Ideas 12 Texture: Integrity, Quality, and the Overall Feel 13 Completion: Illusions, Endings, and the Denial of Death Appendix I: Developmental Theory Appendix II: Time Line Notes Annotated Bibliography Index INTRODUCTION The various poetic devices that we use to write and interpret poetry have value beyond the world of the poet. Structure, line, imagery, point of view, metaphor, drama, diction, punctuation, rhythm, revision, theme, texture, and completion are as essential for living a conscious life as they are for writing or interpreting a great (or ordinary) poem. While the book focuses on conscious living, the exercises that conclude each chapter apply to both poetry writing and the search for the True Self, and include basic approaches to meditation. Each chapter first presents the application of its topic to "our poet," using examples from Shakespeare to contemporary poets; then to "our self," using, among others, the work of Ken Wilber, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Stephen Levine, and Thomas Merton. The annotated bibliography at the book's conclusion lists over 150 entries, including all references used in the book. Appendix I, a brief essay, includes a chart of selected developmental theories, including Piaget, Maslow, Kohlberg, Fowler, Beck and Cowan, and Wilber, among others, which are especially relevant for Chapters Four and Thirteen. Appendix II is a selective time line, which presents significant events, relevant to this book, that have occurred over the past 15 billion years (or so). The "spirit" and "self" components throughout this book have their foundation in the what has come to be known as an "all-quadrant, all-level, all-line, all-state, all-type," or "integral" approach. Living Poems, Writing Lives presents a unique path toward recognizing Spirit within. CHAPTER ONE: STRUCTURE: Knowing Our Foundations explores the possibilities of formal and free verse that are available to our poet, and uses the problem/resolution/uniformity of the sonnet as the primary example of formal verse. Other examples include the cycles and compression of the sestina; the progressive repetition of the pantoum; the self-imposed form of structured free verse; and the potential, freedom and danger of unstructured free verse. Our self explores her chosen and imposed structures as they apply to issues such as money, time, work and vocat

Download or read book Wallace Stevens and the Actual World written by Alan Filreis and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Wallace Stevens has been read most widely as poetry concerned with poetry, and not with the world in which it was created; deemed utterly singular, it seems to resist being read as the record of a life and times. In this critical biography Alan Filreis presents a detailed challenge to this exceptionalist view as he traces two major periods of Stevens's career from 1939 to 1955, the war years and the postwar years. Portraying Stevens as someone whose alternation between cultural comprehension and ignorance was itself characteristically American, Filreis examines the poet's impulse to disguise and compress the very fact of his debt to the actual world. By actual world Stevens meant historical conditions, often in order to impugn his own interest in such externalities as the last resort of a man whose famous interiority made him feel desperately irrelevant. In light of events ranging from the U.S. entry into World War II to the Cold War, Filreis shows how Stevens was driven to make a "close approach to reality" in an effort to reconcile his poetic language with a cultural language. "Wallace Stevens and the Actual World is not only an impressive feat of historical recovery and analysis, but also a pleasure to read. It will be useful to anyone interested in the relationship between American politics and literature during World War II and the Cold War."--Milton J.

Download or read book The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley written by Percy Bysshe Shelley and published by Complete Poetry of Percy Byssh. This book was released on 2004 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing to his publisher in 1813, Shelley expressed the hope that two of his major works should form one volume; nearly two centuries later, the second volume of the Johns Hopkins edition of The Complete Poetry fulfills that wish for the first time. This volume collects two important pieces: Queen Mab and The Esdaile Notebook. ... The poems are presented as Shelley intended, with textual variants included in footnotes. Following the poems are extensive discussions of the circumstances of their composition and the influences they reflect; their publication or circulation by other means; their reception at the time of publication and in the decades since; their re-publication, both authorized and unauthorized; and their place in Shelley's intellectual and aesthetic development. --Johns Hopkins University Press.

Download or read book Spectrum II written by Rachel Wright and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems come to me from many dimensions?personal, family, a friend, my community, or a world happening near or far from southern Indiana. Words grip me emotionally?as an empathy that I feel with someone else or out of my own soul. I may ponder the topic for a few minutes, or a few days, but I must write. It's like a ?tune I must play? but in poetic verse. I grab pen and paper or rush to the computer. My poetry falls in three areas. Some are ?protests? of societal problems throughout the world that I cannot be comfortable with: poverty, war, unruly political institutions, lack of resources for education and health, pollution of the earth's resources and a vast media /consumerism enterprise that sucks up our freedoms (to name a few). Secondly, I look at myself. Through topics of nature, introspection, love, and family I see changes I must make before I can help others. Thirdly, I see trends in the youth?how they band together in ?online communities?, attack travesties of justice around the globe, form ?lifestyle? businesses, study alternative medicine and politics, want sustainability and the right use of energy. They look not just at the ?green? of the dollar but how the earth can become more balanced. I feel poetry, like music and the arts, leads us to what we ?share? and ?have in common.?

Download or read book Poetic Salvation written by James Darwin Smith II and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry, Such a salvation to me, . Hence the title poetic salvation. I have always written poems even when I was a kid. But I never shared them never saved them just let them go, And that is a shame because it's good to have a retrospective a history so to speak on your life. And poetry to me is a artistic type of journal I suppose. Well it's also a great way to express ones imagination. To take the mind through a journey whatever it may be light or dark. And that is where you have me. I express myself from both sides of that while my love for philosophy as a whole as been an inspiration in itself. I grew up in the Seattle area a very shy boy. Had friends kept to himself. But my imagination it gave me such great company. But even when I was a kid I did not write my imagination so much as just my frustrations and what have you. And of course as I said I threw them away. Too bad it was the paper not the actual feelings. But that was a young me. I started saving what I wrote at the start of 2000, started with love poems. Then depression and then went through a very dark time in my life. But I kept to myself and let it out poetically. I am anti social though I do peek up socially at times. So poetry really gave me a voice something I can express to others. After awhile I started writing in many different ways. Love, Darkness, Philosophy, History just anything that came to mind. I really feel I keep evolving as a poet and you know what we do in life we should never stop evolving. Poetry has just been a salvation to me hence the title poetic salvation. I grew up with dyslexia and depression. And you know what the best medicine has been to treat those? Poetry. Yes, Poetry. I live it. I breathe it and I bleed it. So very important to me. So when you see this title and see some of my work that may sound down or dark and you wonder salvation? Yes, Because I can get it out. It does not stay in me. That is poetic salvation to me! And today I throw away the bad feelings when they do happen. Not the paper

Download or read book Poems in Two Volumes written by William Wordsworth and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems in Two Volumes - Volume 2 By William Wordsworth Published seven years after William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's popular collection Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth's Poems, in Two Volumes shocked readers and drew scornful reviews. Poems was a revolutionary challenge to literary taste in revolution-weary times. The poems were perceived as inappropriately personal and egotistical in the attention that the poet pays to "moods of [his own] mind." The collection is now seen as containing some of the most enduring works of British Romantic poetry, and Wordsworth's achievement in opening up new worlds of subject matter, emotion, and poetic expression is widely recognized. Richard Matlak places the initial reaction to Poems in its historical context and explains the sea change in critical and popular opinion about these poems. The extensive historical documents place the poems in the context of Wordsworth's life, contemporary politics, and the literary world of the early nineteenth century. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Download or read book Poetic Visions of a Lone Wolf written by James Darwin Smith, II. and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-27 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does Poetic Visions of a Lone Wolf mean? Well it means... This very Poet is not a Lone Wolf meaning he has no one around him or that he is a Loner. It means he stands on his own two feet. Always creates on his own quest for his own innovation. Writing Poetry in one dimension gets boring; the exploration to go beyond this poet's mind well you could even count heart as well. Sometimes you could very well read a poem or two or more and think. “What does he mean?” Well that is the beauty of creation to explore areas not yet explored, to give you, yourself a challenge. To take a journey for peace within. Or just expressing oneself through the turmoil of life letting it all out no matter what comes out. But here in this Book is more peace and love, this very Poet James Darwin Smith II writes in so many different ways. But in this book he wanted to make light of life through a more surreal tone, Perhaps? And having things in this very Poet's life that may “Hinder” him like dyslexia, Depression etc., well, it's really strength upon a great journey in self-improvement as a whole. An artist is never fully satisfied with what he/she does. Artists are their own biggest critics. So now we go to the part where I shall describe the book into a more detail if you will. What is in this very book? Well let's state the obvious, poems. All kinds, going so many different ways you could even say. This is not James Darwin Smith's first rodeo. In fact look upon his name and search upon his poetic ventures if you will. Poetry is something that sparks this very Poet, Gives this Poet before you an identity. You may sense this poet as complicated. Hey, you may also not understand what he writes from time to time. But in these pages you will see him share his heart, mind and soul the best that he can. Always challenging himself the best way he can challenge himself. So read with an open mind and an open heart and see what poetic ventures are in front of you. Limit? What is that word?What is that word indeed? So it sounded like this was going to end huh? Got to hit the word quota. So bear with me. Let's see if we can cause pandemonium with grammar itself. Well you could say that is the fun of poetry exercising grammar, creating a poetic atmosphere through words even. Showing any limit ahead of a muse, this muse that well you are too boring to be around if one limits themselves. This Poet James Darwin believes in exploration. I mean if you cannot explore much in the psychical form why not let your heart, mind and soul explore as much as they can? And in that very exploration one finds themselves evolving from within. Bringing the best out of themselves you could very much sayThat is one of the reasons why we exist. Philosophy is such an important thing to one James Darwin Smith II, An inspiration a great big inspiration. Philosophy as a whole is a dying entity even. But enough on that. There is so much more than philosophy here, Hey, You may find some flaws in this very Poet's writing. Flaws are meaningless if done on purpose. Being “Weird” on purpose really is not being different. We are different in our own perspective in our own natural sense of being if you will. So here he is, here I am, A Lone world traveling amongst his muse as he smiles at those around him who respect what and who he is. What he is all about and what makes him be. Is he a paradox? Or someone you can relate with as you read his poetry, Well that is for you to decide. And as these words keep going on and on and on and on till they meet the criteria for which has to be met. Note of the journeys this very poet expresses upon the influences he has been really blessed with having. What a poetic adventure indeed and many more to come. So many different poems here. So many creations of a Lone Wolf who prowls his own muse for more food for thought. And what will you get out of this? Perhaps you could explain to me what you do indeed get out of it through your own honesty, Peace!!
