Download or read book Homes written by Moheb Soliman and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior: HOMES. Moheb Soliman traces the coasts of the Great Lakes region with poems, exploring the nature of belonging in relation to land and the formation of identity along borders. Moheb Soliman's HOMES maps the shoreline of the Great Lakes from the rocky cliffs of Duluth, Minnesota, to the spray of Niagara Falls and back again. This poetic travelogue offers an intimate perspective on an immigrant experience as Soliman drives his Corolla past exquisite vistas and abandoned mines, through tourist towns and midwestern suburbs, searching for a place to claim as home. Against the backdrop of environmental destruction and a history of colonial oppression, the vitality of Soliman's language brings a bold ecopoetic lens to bear on the relationship between transience and belonging in the world's largest, most porous borderland.

Download or read book Many Storied House written by George Ella Lyon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the small, eastern Kentucky coal-mining town of Harlan, George Ella Lyon began her career with Mountain, a chapbook of poems. She has since published many more books in multiple genres and for readers of all ages, but poetry remains at the heart of her work. Many-Storied House is her fifth collection. While teaching aspiring writers, Lyon asked her students to write a poem based on memories rooted in a house where they had lived. Working on the assignment herself, Lyon began a personal journey, writing many poems for each room. In this intimate book, she strives to answer lingering questions about herself and her family: "Here I stand, at the beginning," she writes in the opening lines of the volume, "with more questions than / answers." Collectively, the poems tell the sixty-eight-year-long story of the house, beginning with its construction by Lyon's grandfather and culminating with the poet's memories of bidding farewell to it after her mother's death. Moving, provocative, and heartfelt, Lyon's poetic excavations evoke more than just stock and stone; they explore the nature of memory and relationships, as well as the innermost architecture of love, family, and community. A poignant memoir in poems, Many-Storied House is a personal and revealing addition to George Ella Lyon's body of work.

Download or read book Home written by Christian Wiman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evocative poems and prose fragments about home, selected by one of the most celebrated poets of our time "This is a book of longing, yes, and also spiritual discernment, political awareness, historical memory, and deep intimacy."--Carolyn Forché In this poignant collection, Christian Wiman draws together one hundred evocative poems and prose fragments about home, exploring home's deep theological, literary, philosophical, historical, political, and social dimensions. Wiman calls home "a house, a country, a language, a love, a longing, a grief, a god." It's "a word that disperses into more definitions than one book can contain." The tensions between diffusion and concentration, roaming and rootedness, precarity and security are everywhere in this book, often in the same poem. Ranging from early modernism to the current moment, and from southern Africa to the Arctic Circle, the selections are as diverse as the poets included. Collectively they envision an imaginative home for even the most homeless of modern readers. Completed entirely during quarantine, amid the miseries of separation and isolation, the collection offers a powerful vision of home as both a place and a way.

Download or read book A Literary Field Guide to Southern Appalachia written by Rose McLarney and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting acquainted with local flora and fauna is the perfect way to begin to understand the wonder of nature. The natural environment of Southern Appalachia, with habitats that span the Blue Ridge to the Cumberland Plateau, is one of the most biodiverse on earth. A Literary Field Guide to Southern Appalachia—a hybrid literary and natural history anthology—showcases sixty of the many species indigenous to the region. Ecologically, culturally, and artistically, Southern Appalachia is rich in paradox and stereotype-defying complexity. Its species range from the iconic and inveterate—such as the speckled trout, pileated woodpecker, copperhead, and black bear—to the elusive and endangered—such as the American chestnut, Carolina gorge moss, chucky madtom, and lampshade spider. The anthology brings together art and science to help the reader experience this immense ecological wealth. Stunning images by seven Southern Appalachian artists and conversationally written natural history information complement contemporary poems from writers such as Ellen Bryant Voigt, Wendell Berry, Janisse Ray, Sean Hill, Rebecca Gayle Howell, Deborah A. Miranda, Ron Rash, and Mary Oliver. Their insights illuminate the wonders of the mountain South, fostering intimate connections. The guide is an invitation to get to know Appalachia in the broadest, most poetic sense.
Download or read book Remnants written by William Ogden Haynes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post card of a little girl on the cover of this book may be all that remains of a trip to France at the turn of the century, a remnant of someone's life and travels. The concept of "remnant" is an interesting one. We can think of remnants as what is left over from a larger entity, as in scraps of wood from building a dog house or pieces of cloth cut from around a sewing pattern. Thus, remnants are "parts" left from making a "whole." In many cases, remnants are discarded, but it is also true that parts can be assembled to make a whole once again as in scraps of cloth sewn together to construct a quilt. All our lives we deal with remnants in some form or another. For instance, memories are remnants of childhood, vacations and past relationships. Photographs are also reminiscent of many stages of our lives. Some consider objects such as toys, clothing, furniture and souvenirs as remnants of a time gone by. When you think about it, after an event occurs, all we have left are memories, feelings, objects and photographs. These are remnants of a larger whole that may no longer exist, but what remains helps us to at least partially reconstruct it. The poetry in this book represents slices of many lives that could be considered remnants, little snips that might fall to the floor unnoticed except for those of us who use them as the subjects of our narratives. The poems concern simple events such as going to the mailbox, walking through an empty home, examining items donated to a thrift store, winding a clock, finding a dead relative's watch or going to the grocery store. The characters range from a homeless man in a large city to a Native American woman in Colorado to a Saint who lived in the year 850 AD. There are college professors, crazy people and a woman who is dead, but still conscious. It is my hope that by examining these remnants the reader will be able to mentally reconstruct the more detailed and rich events that they represent.
