Download or read book Love Took the Words written by Christopher Jane Corkery and published by Slant Books. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Love took the words right out of my mouth." So begins the first line of Christopher Jane Corkery's poignant and unforgettable new collection of poems. Throughout the work these two themes--the power and mystery of language, especially the crafted one of poetry, and what Keats called "the holiness of the heart's affections"--intertwine, accumulating a rich panoply of associations and meanings. The occasions for Corkery's poems are often domestic: the thrill of youthful romance, of marriage and family, of children inventing new worlds. Yet here also are a poet's acts, psychological and spiritual, in a life which, like every reader's life, contains plenty and its absence all at once. Objects matter here--a bread board, a swing, a still life--but so do places (from New England to Paris and Seville). The poet is also joined by the ghostly presences of poets and mystics, from Teresa of Avila, John Keats, and George Herbert to Emily Dickinson and William Butler Yeats. Again and again Corkery is drawn to the essential way in which poetry enacts love. In fullness or in scarcity, in loving or in grief, both writer and reader are engaged, fulfilling the contract of poetry.

Download or read book Red Suitcase written by Naomi Shihab Nye and published by BOA Editions, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, teacher, essayist, anthologist, songwriter and singer, Naomi Shihab Nye is one of the country's most acclaimed writers. Her voice is generous; her vision true; her subjects ordinary people, and ordinary situations which, when rendered through her language, become remarkable. In this, her fourth full collection of poetry, we see with new eyes-a grandmother's scarf, an alarm clock, a man carrying his son on his shoulders. Valentine for Ernest Mann You can’t order a poem like you order a taco. Walk up to the counter and say, "I’ll take two" and expect it to handed back to you on a shiny plate. Still, I like you spirit. Anyone who says, "Here’s my address, write me a poem," deserves something in reply. So I’ll tell a secret instead: poems hide. In the bottoms of our shoes, they are sleeping. They are the shadows drifting across our ceilings the moment before we wake up. What we have to do is live in a way that lets us find them. Once I knew a man who gave his wife two skunks for a valentine. He couldn’t understand why she was crying. "I thought they had such beautiful eyes." And he was serious. He was a serious man who lived in a serious way. Nothing was ugly just because the world said so. He really liked those skunks. So, he re-invented them as valentines and they became beautiful. At least, to him. And the poems that had been hiding in the eyes of skunks for centuries crawled out and curled up at his feet. Maybe if we re-invent whatever our lives give us we find poems. Check your garage, the odd sock in your drawer, the person you almost like, but not quite. And let me know.

Download or read book Because What Else Could I Do written by Martha Collins and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because What Else Could I Do is a sequence of fifty-five untitled short poems, almost all of them addressed to the poet’s husband during the six months following his sudden and shocking death. Perhaps best known for her historical explorations of sociopolitical issues, Martha Collins did not originally intend to publish these poems. But while they are intensely personal, they make use of all of her poetic attention and skills. Spare, fragmented, musical even in their most heartbreaking moments, the poems allow the reader to share both an intimate expression the poet’s grief and a moving record of her attempt to comprehend the events surrounding her loss.
Download or read book Red Letter Nights written by Younan Sammy Younan and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We love Red. We burden this colour with dissonant connotations, with playful and mysterious clichés. Red Letter Nights celebrates the myriad meanings of Red and all the offerings we bring to that alter. From the serious to the silly Red Letter Nights asks readers to advance from the familiar as we trip together to and through Nighttown. For there we'll find uneasy characters armed with hopeless expectations, permanent sorrow and occasionally anger. With biting distinct eloquence each of these poems has the ability to stand on its own and loudly proudly proclaim its truth. Fused they form a tapestry a relentless investigation into the prospering realms of Red. This will not be a heroic one night stand: Red Letter Nights.
Download or read book Red Bird written by Mary Oliver and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red bird came all winter / firing up the landscape / as nothing else could. So begins Mary Oliver's twelfth book of poetry, and the image of that fiery bird stays with the reader, appearing in unexpected forms and guises until, in a postscript, he explains himself: "For truly the body needs / a song, a spirit, a soul. And no less, to make this work, / the soul has need of a body, / and I am both of the earth and I am of the inexplicable / beauty of heaven / where I fly so easily, so welcome, yes, / and this is why I have been sent, to teach this to your heart." This collection of sixty-one new poems, the most ever in a single volume of Oliver's work, includes an entirely new direction in the poet's work: a cycle of eleven linked love poems-a dazzling achievement. As in all of Mary Oliver's work, the pages overflow with her keen observation of the natural world and her gratitude for its gifts, for the many people she has loved in her seventy years, as well as for her disobedient dog, Percy. But here, too, the poet's attention turns with ferocity to the degradation of the Earth and the denigration of the peoples of the world by those who love power. Red Bird is unquestionably Mary Oliver's most wide-ranging volume to date.
Download or read book Letters to Yesenin written by Jim Harrison and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergei Yesenin was a Russian poet who, in 1925, hanged himself after writing his farewell poem in blood. Jim Harrison's "correspondence" with Yesenin is an American masterwork. In the early 1970s, Harrison was living in poverty on a hard-scrabble farm, suffering from depression and suicidal urges. He began to write daily prose-poem letters to Yesenin, confiding to his unlikely friend about sex, drunkenness, family, politics - about living for another day. Although "the rope" remained ever present, Harrison listened to his poems: "My year-old daughter's red robe hangs from the doorknob shouting Stop."
