Download or read book Selected Poems of Langston Hughes written by Langston Hughes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1990-09-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Langston Hughes electrified readers and launched a renaissance in Black writing in America—the poems in this collection were chosen by Hughes himself shortly before his death and represent stunning work from his entire career. The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who "rushed the boots of Washington"; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in "the raffle of night." They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture. They spanned the range from the lyric to the polemic, ringing out "wonder and pain and terror—and the marrow of the bone of life." The collection includes "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "The Weary Blues," "Still Here," "Song for a Dark Girl," "Montage of a Dream Deferred," and "Refugee in America." It gives us a poet of extraordinary range, directness, and stylistic virtuosity.

The Supreme Perfection Of Prose Style The Felicitous Extension To Which Nothing Can Be Added And From Which Nothing Can Be Taken Away, Has Perhaps, Hardly Ever Been Attained But By Those Authors Of The First Rank With Whom The Modern World Has Least Concern.Two Systems Have Been Followed In This Volume, Each Of Which Has Its Advantages. The First, Especially Recommendable For Poetical Complications, It The System Of Fastidious Severity, Which Can Only Be Carried Out By A Compiler Of Exquisite Taste And On Consummate Judgement. Another Principle May Here Be Involved, And The Selection May In A Manner Be Entrusted To The Public Suffrage, Those Pieces Being Especially Chosen Which Are Known To Have Appealed With Special Force To The General Heart And Conscience. The Book Will Be Of Great Interest To The Research Scholars And To The Literary Persons Besides Those Who Love Literature Without Any Barriers Of Language Of Country.

Download or read book Play for Time written by Paula Mendoza and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Vijay Seshadri as the winner of the 2019 Gaudy Boy Poetry Book Prize. "Unimpeachable . . . round and rich and exfoliating with intuition, hesitation, self-questionings, and personhood." --Vijay Seshadri, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, 3 Sections "If you were made to speak a language you labored to make yours, I wrote it for you. If you wished you could unwrite, rewrite, or write in stone or water any number of lifetimes you've endured, I wrote it for you. If you felt that the only home you've known was inside words; if you have written the names of lovers on pieces of paper and burned them in spells; if you understand which words hurt and which heal; if you've begged for more and for mercy, I wrote it for you." In her blistering debut, Paula Mendoza wields the weapon of language as she dismantles the longstanding traditions of the colonial narrative, male speech, and the sentimental love poem. Taking on the forms of historically polarizing figures--the witch, the femme-dom, Eve--the speaker of her poems is both submissive object and powerful agent that wills herself caught between pirate and plunder, that rewrites linguistic scripts to survive oppression, that self-immolates into a state of rebirth, that asks what use or meaning can be made of brokenness and displacement. Playful and deliberate, innovative and strange, Play for Time, Mendoza's debut collection of experimental lyric poems demolishes the literary commonplaces of "universality" and provides a timely introduction to an explosively original voice in poetry.
