Download or read book Quatrains Other Short Poems written by Robert Notenboom and published by Leaky Boot Press. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delightful short poems of French poet Robert Notenboom are reflections on life, love, God, death and growing old. They are the words of someone who has lived through tumultuous times and has come to terms with the inevitable fact that lives, like the seasons, come and go, and that the most important thing that any of us can hope to achieve is a sense of peace and understanding of ourselves. Roberts poems triumphantly reflect the life that he has lived and the man that he is. Reading the poems, hearing the voice, in Quatrains & other short poems is like hearing time itself singing a song of the passing of years. Robert Notenboom was born in Paris in 1931 to a German mother and a Dutch father. He did not speak French until 1939 and had a difficult and lonely childhood. It was only at the age of 21 that he took French nationality. He has published numerous books of poetry, also fiction and non-fiction, in French, all in the 21st century. Quatrains & other short poems is his first book in English. Paraphrasing Jean Prouvé, Robert likes to say of his writing that "every word that is not indispensable is harmful".

Download or read book Solving the World s Problems written by Robert Lee Brewer and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "World" in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) "splashing around in dark puddles." And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of "pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south." I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something

Book excerpt: A major addition to the literature of poetry, Edward Hirsch’s sparkling new work is a compilation of forms, devices, groups, movements, isms, aesthetics, rhetorical terms, and folklore—a book that all readers, writers, teachers, and students of poetry will return to over and over. Hirsch has delved deeply into the poetic traditions of the world, returning with an inclusive, international compendium. Moving gracefully from the bards of ancient Greece to the revolutionaries of Latin America, from small formal elements to large mysteries, he provides thoughtful definitions for the most important poetic vocabulary, imbuing his work with a lifetime of scholarship and the warmth of a man devoted to his art. Knowing how a poem works is essential to unlocking its meaning. Hirsch’s entries will deepen readers’ relationships with their favorite poems and open greater levels of understanding in each new poem they encounter. Shot through with the enthusiasm, authority, and sheer delight that made How to Read a Poem so beloved, A Poet’s Glossary is a new classic.
Download or read book Three Poems written by Hannah Sullivan and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Poems, Hannah Sullivan’s debut collection, which won the 2018 T. S. Eliot Prize, reinvents the long poem for a digital age. “You, Very Young in New York” paints the portrait of a great American city, paying close attention to grand designs as well as local details, and coalescing in a wry and tender study of romantic possibility, disappointment, and the obduracy of innocence. “Repeat Until Time” shifts the scene to California and combines a poetic essay on the nature of repetition with an enquiry into pattern-making of a personal as well as a philosophical kind. “The Sandpit After Rain” explores the birth of a child and death of a father with exacting clarity.
