Download or read book Twice Alive written by Forrest Gander and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new book about renewal by the winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry In the searing poems of his new collection, Twice Alive, the Pulitzer Prize–winner Forrest Gander addresses the exigencies of our historical moment and the intimacies, personal and environmental, that bind us to others and to the world. Drawing from his training in geology and his immersion in Sangam literary traditions, Gander invests these poems with an emotional intensity that illuminates our deep-tangled interrelations. While conducting fieldwork with a celebrated mycologist, Gander links human intimacy with the transformative collaborations between species that compose lichens. Throughout Twice Alive, Gander addresses personal and ecological trauma—several poems focus on the devastation wrought by wildfires in California where he lives—but his tone is overwhelmingly celebratory. Twice Alive is a book charged with exultation and tenderness.
Download or read book Poetry Alive written by Greville G. Liburd and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of short poems represents an eclectic collection of ideas, topics, and reasoning. The poems are mostly written in sonnet form, rhymed in couplets. This form best conveys in a brief and poignant manner the essential issues bearing upon the topics presented. Although some of the ideas suggest experiences personal to the author, this is coincidental, and does not represent the intended purpose of the book. Poetry Alive is arranged in eleven parts, to assist the reader in navigating the various topics and issues. Throughout the work, there is a general theme of the ultimate supremacy, authority, and power of God, in contrast to the limited intelligence and subordinated position of the human race. Even though man undoubtedly represents God’s highest form of life on Planet Earth, he is still very clearly subjected to the supreme and supernatural authority of an Almighty Creator. The over-arching presence of this type of thinking and writing conforms to the writer’s strong belief in the inerrancy of God’s Divine Intelligence and in His unique prerogative as the Creator of the universe. To add balance to the collection, there are also a few poems emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of nature, along with a few others that accentuate the many common nuances and selfish biases that constantly attend, and are sometimes explicitly displayed in the expression of human love.

Download or read book Alive written by Elizabeth Willis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry American poet Elizabeth Willis has written an electrifying body of work spanning more than twenty years. With a wild and inquisitive lyricism, Willis—“one of the most outstanding poets of her generation” (Susan Howe)—draws us into intricate patterns of thought and feeling. The intimate and civic address of these poems is laced with subterranean affinities among painters, botanists, politicians, witches and agitators. Coursing through this work is the clarity and resistance of a world that asks the poem to rise to this, to speak its fury.
Download or read book Alive at the End of the World written by Saeed Jones and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierced by grief and charged with history, this new poetry collection from the award-winning author of Prelude to Bruise and How We Fight for Our Lives confronts our everyday apocalypses. In haunted poems glinting with laughter, Saeed Jones explores the public and private betrayals of life as we know it. With verve, wit, and elegant craft, Jones strips away American artifice in order to reveal the intimate grief of a mourning son and the collective grief bearing down on all of us. Drawing from memoir, fiction, and persona, Jones confronts the everyday perils of white supremacy with a finely tuned poetic ear, identifying moments that seem routine even as they open chasms of hurt. Viewing himself as an unreliable narrator, Jones looks outward to understand what’s within, bringing forth cultural icons like Little Richard, Paul Mooney, Aretha Franklin and Diahann Carroll to illuminate how long and how perilously we’ve been living on top of fault lines. As these poems seek ways to love and survive through America’s existential threats, Jones ushers his readers toward the realization that the end of the world is already here—and the apocalypse is a state of being.
