Excerpt: ...Out of the mast head the cry came down: "Nigh to the shores of Narroway The good ship Dragon rides full sail, Orlving ahead before the gale." Ho! to the haven!" King Olaf cried, And smote the eye of the Ox with his hand. It leaped so madly along the tide, That never a sailor on deck could stand; But Olaf lashed them firm and fust With trusty cords to the strong oak mast. Now, who," the helmsman said, "will guide The vessel upon the tossing sea?" That will I do!" King Olaf cried; And no man's life shall be lost through me." Like a living coal his dark eye glowed, As swift to the helmsman's place he strode. Looking neither to left nor right, Toward the land he sailed right in, Steering straight as a line of light: "So must I run if I would win; Faith is stronger than hills or rocks. Over the land speed on, good Ox!" Into the valleys the waters rolled; Hillocks and meadows disappeared. Grasping the helm in his iron hold, On, right onward, St. Olaf steered; High and higher the blue waves rose. "On!" he shouted, "No time to lose!." Out came running the elves in a throng; Out from cavern and rock they came: Now who is this comes sailing along Over our homes? "Ho! tell us thy name!" "I am St. Olaf, my little man! Turn into stones until I come again." The elf-stones rolled down the mountain side; The sturdy Ox sailed over them all. Ill luck be with thee!" a Carline cried; "Thy ship has shattered my chamber wall!" In Olaf's eyes flashed a fiery glint: "Be turned forever to rock of flint!" Never was sailing like this before: He shot an arrow along the wind Or ever it lighted the ship sailed o'er The mark: the arrow fell far behind....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Worth While Poems: Waif Gems of Verse Gathered From Here and There and Recited in Public Readings By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, Who had no strength for the strife, The world's highway is cumbered today, They make up the sum of life. But the virtue that conquers passion, And the sorrow that hides in a smile, It is these that are worth the homage on earth, For we find them but once in a while.

Download or read book Such Color written by Tracy K. Smith and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Tracy K. Smith’s poetry is an awakening itself.” —Vogue Celebrated for its extraordinary intelligence and exhilarating range, the poetry of Tracy K. Smith opens up vast questions. Such Color: New and Selected Poems, her first career-spanning volume, traces an increasingly audacious commitment to exploring the unknowable, the immense mysteries of existence. Each of Smith’s four collections moves farther outward: when one seems to reach the limits of desire and the body, the next investigates the very sweep of history; when one encounters death and the outer reaches of space, the next bears witness to violence against language and people from across time and delves into the rescuing possibilities of the everlasting. Smith’s signature voice, whether in elegy or praise or outrage, insists upon vibrancy and hope, even—and especially—in moments of inconceivable travesty and grief. Such Color collects the best poems from Smith’s award-winning books and culminates in thirty pages of brilliant, excoriating new poems. These new works confront America’s historical and contemporary racism and injustices, while they also rise toward the registers of the ecstatic, the rapturous, and the sacred—urging us toward love as a resistance to everything that impedes it. This magnificent retrospective affirms Smith’s place as one of the twenty-first century’s most treasured poets.
Download or read book The Glass Constellation written by Arthur Sze and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an overwhelming feast, a treasure, and more than enough proof that Sze is a major poet." —NPR National Book Award winner Arthur Sze is a master poet, and The Glass Constellation is a triumph spanning five decades, including ten poetry collections and twenty-six new poems. Sze began his career writing compressed, lyrical poems influenced by classical Chinese poetry; he later made a leap into powerful polysemous sequences, honing a distinct stylistic signature that harnesses luminous particulars, and is sharply focused, emotionally resonant, and structurally complex. Fusing elements of Chinese, Japanese, Native American, and various Western experimental traditions—employing startling juxtapositions that are always on target, deeply informed by concern for our endangered planet and troubled species—Arthur Sze presents experience in all its multiplicities, in singular book after book. This collection is an invitation to immerse in a visionary body of work, mapping the evolution of one of our finest American poets.
