Download or read book Poetry Painting Park written by Franz R Kempf and published by Legenda. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imbued with a pulsating energy that emanates from the sun, Claude Lorrain's landscape draws on the interplay of light and darkness to effect a 'living whole' and evoke the symbolic. In a life-long conversation with Lorrain - recorded in texts as diverse as 'Amor as Landscape Painter', Faust, and the Doctrine of Colours - Goethe conducts an inquiry into the dialectics of nature and art, imitation and invention, subject and object. Goethe seeks to comprehend Lorrain by reenacting him in words, in ekphrastic mode, as an experience and an idea. The inquiry remains open-ended for landscape is a paradox: the real, the spiritual, and the affective meet without merging. This aesthetic discovery and visualization of nature as landscape is consonant with the attempt to grasp the world and our place in it. The three sister arts of poetry, painting, and horticulture serve as mirrors for Goethe's self-understanding as an artist, including his ambivalence vis-à-vis the English Garden as articulated, for instance, in the novel Elective Affinities. Franz R. Kempf is Professor of German Studies at Bard College.

Download or read book The National Parks A Century of Grace written by Karla K. Morton and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets Karla K. Morton and Alan Birkelbach began this journey to celebrate our national parks' one hundredth anniversary, but for these two poets the sojourns quickly became something greater than that. In their words, "As humans we have this tendency to look at a piece of land and see real estate. [But] when concrete covers all our natural spaces, not only do we lose earth's creatures, we also lose the great teacher of our souls. You cannot sit beneath trees taller than the Statue of Liberty, or gaze upon vistas untouched since their creation, without feeling the awe and wonder of what the natural world has to offer. You cannot experience such beauty without being wholly changed. Our great-great-great-grandchildren deserve these untouched gifts." This journey, illustrated with gorgeous color photos of all of America's grand national parks, is a feast for the eyes and heart. In the end, it is a plea for us to save these wonders for all future generations.

Download or read book Poetry of the Parks written by Glen S. "Rocky" Brougham and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is a lost art form that is not highly visible in our society except for cowboy poets or when put to music as songs. Many people do not know how to react to poetry; much of poetry does not rhyme and is closer to descriptive writing. Well, this book is filled with rhyming poetry and positive feelings and visions found in the desert country around Moab, Utah. Reviews of my words have always been encouraging and many have said these straight talking poems are the only poetry they can truly understand and they like it. I hope you will like it too. Down through the ages it has been the poet that captures the moments the others cannot. It is the poet and poetry that is remembered and quoted. Enjoy now, maybe for the first time, my poetry of nature. Rocky Brougham

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highland Park, Illinois has a collection of almost 30 pieces of outdoor public art throughout the streets, trails and parks of the City. Using a map published by the Cultural Arts Commission, Highland Park Poetry urged writers of all ages to go on a treasure hunt of discovery and find poetic inspiration among the sculptures. The idea behind the contest was that ekphrastic poems might expand community awareness and appreciation of the public art, perhaps leading to new understanding by both readers and viewers. Winning poems from the contest were published on temporary signs installed near the sculptures as well as on The Muses' Gallery of Highland Park Poetry's website. This collection means the poems and art work will continue to inspire.

Book excerpt: Art and Artists: Poems is a sumptuous collection of visions in verse—the work of centuries of poets who have used their own art form to illuminate art created by others. A wide variety of visual art forms have inspired great poetry, from painting, sculpture, and photography to tapestry, folk art, and calligraphy. Included here are poems that celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, and Grant Wood’s American Gothic. Here are such well-known poems as John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and W. H. Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts,” Homer’s immortal account of the forging of the shield of Achilles, and Federico García Lorca’s breathtaking ode to the surreal paintings of Salvador Dalí. Allen Ginsberg writes about Cezanne, Anne Sexton about van Gogh, Billy Collins about Hieronymus Bosch, and Kevin Young about Jean-Michel Basquiat. Here too are poems that take on the artists themselves, from Michelangelo and Rembrandt to Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe. Altogether, this brilliantly curated anthology proves that a picture can be worth a thousand words—or a few very well-chosen ones.

Book excerpt: The Northport Village Poetry Path was born as a dream. A dream to bring poetry off the pages of books and out of the confines of reading rooms. A dream to bring poetry into the open air for the entire Village to enjoy. And it was clear this dream was shared. When Northport Arts Coalition put out the call, the Long Island poetry community responded whole-heartedly with fifty-six submissions. Twelve were chosen to be displayed for the path's inaugural year and three were named honorable mentions to be included in this book. The art that accompanies them was created especially for each poem by Long Island artists. Wherever you are when you read these poems, let your imagination take you to the beautiful harborside park where they're displayed. Let yourself savor them as you stroll slowly from one to the next to the next, shaded by centuries old trees and serenaded by seabirds. Let them take you to new places and fill you with new thoughts.
