Download or read book Selected Poems written by Rudyard Kipling and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-06-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling's talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including 'Mandalay' and 'Gunga Din', to the dignified and inspirational 'If -' and the later, deeply moving 'Epitaphs of the War' - inspired by the death of Kipling's only son - it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.
Download or read book Kavya Representative Nepali Poetry in English written by Khem K. Aryal and published by Grey Sparrow Press. This book was released on 2022-12-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of poems written originally in English by thirty-seven Nepali poets from the 1950s to the present. Kavya, a representative anthology of Nepal poetry in English, includes works by poets who write from a hybrid, in-between world traced by the traditions of Nepali and English literature as well as the worldviews of western modernity and eastern spiritualism. The poems included in this anthology reveal the evolution of Nepali poetry in English from the 1950s to the present and encompass varied thematic interests, literary styles, and cultural locations. A must read for all those who are interested in the history and practice of Nepali English writing. -Sanjeev Uprety, critic and author of Ghanachakkar Kavya is a remarkable, important collection. The excellent introduction provides context for the emergence of work by Nepali poets choosing to create in English. Rarely does a poetry anthology give us the opportunity to experience such an efflorescence almost in real time, as it is happening. The voices are diverse-many echo with centuries-old contemplative traditions and ceremonies. Others vibrate with anger at injustices and war. Still others spill over with the grief of loss, dislocation and diaspora: "I write of Mother in my not-mother / tongue..." But above all, the anthology is held together by the scents, sounds, images of Nepal-not as exotic abstractions but as a lived, loved home. -Alice Major, author of Welcome to the Anthropocene Kāvya, as we know it, endowed with rasa, alankāra, guna, rīti, lakṣana, belongs to all South Asia. This anthology of Nepali English Kāvyahas confirmed again the great heights reached by the Nepali poets, justifying their place in world literature. The editors of Kāvya have ensured that Mahakavi Devkota will continue to live in the hearts of poetry lovers around the world through the creative ingenuity of poets who inherited his legacy. -Daya Dissanayake, author of Inequality This is a seminal anthology, where a landlocked country comes to life through poetry, under the shade of the mighty Himalayas and the burbling of many rivers. Place resounds in every poem and poet in Kavya, painting a complex landscape of Nepal, where the English language didn't necessarily arrive via colonialism but from the need to communicate with the outer world. Through terraced farms, the overburdened Sherpa carrying goods to Everest base camp, fermented betel nut and kukri knives, we experience the joys and pain of a nation under oligarchy and revolution, where horrific violence exists within stunning vistas of nature. Kavya is a poetic testament of a land and people which are resilient yet thoughtful, where the poems are one of witness and elegy, leaving the reader riveted. -Shikha Malaviya, poet, writer & publisher, Geography of Tongues & In Her Own Voice: Poems of Anandibai Joshee (forthcoming) Rich with imagery and ripe with deep feelings, the poems in Kavya: Representative Nepali Poetry in English are beautifully curated by the five editors. These compassionate, truth-seeking poems rooted in a love of place move beyond borders and boundaries into the timelessness poetry gifts us with. May this necessary and intimate collection reach as many readers as possible. -Catherine Graham, author of Put Flowers Around Us and Pretend We're Dead: New and Selected Poems
Download or read book Khas Pidgin written by Salik Shah and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is the language of the soul. In translation, what does it become? Khas Pidgin is a poetic memoir of an alien non-native speaker in both Nepali and English. "Most of the Khas-Nepali poems collected here were written in Kathmandu before 2005. These early poems possess a kind of raw intensity and emotional authenticity that do not come easily to a poet focused solely on style, excellence in craft. The attempt to translate these proved to be a challenging experience--they fail, obviously, if translated word by word. The earliest works of a poet may not be excellent, but they serve a critical, social or historical function; they help us re/discover the lost, suppressed or forgotten ways and territories of their being in their contemporary society, and the world." (- from the introduction to "Khas Pidgin")

Download or read book Selected Poems of Du Fu written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du Fu (712–777) has been called China's greatest poet, and some call him the greatest nonepic, nondramatic poet whose writings survive in any language. Du Fu excelled in a great variety of poetic forms, showing a richness of language ranging from elegant to colloquial, from allusive to direct. His impressive breadth of subject matter includes intimate personal detail as well as a great deal of historical information—which earned him the epithet "poet-historian." Some 1,400 of Du Fu's poems survive today, his fame resting on about one hundred that have been widely admired over the centuries. Preeminent translator Burton Watson has selected 127 poems, including those for which Du Fu is best remembered and lesser-known works.

Download or read book Himalayan Voices written by Michael J. Hutt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1991-07-29 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the natural splendor of Nepal has been celebrated in many books, very little of the substantial body of Nepali literature has appeared in English translation. Himalayan Voices provides admirers of Nepal and lovers of literature with their first glimpse of the vibrant literary scene in Nepal today. An introduction to the two most developed genres of modern Nepali literature—poetry and the short story—this work profiles eleven of Nepal's most distinguished poets and offers translations of more than eighty poems written from 1916 to 1986. Twenty of the most interesting and best-known examples of the Nepali short story are translated into English for the first time by Michael Hutt. All provide vivid descriptions of life in twentieth-century Nepal. Although the days when Nepali poets were regularly jailed for their writings have passed, until 1990 the strictures of various laws governing public security and partisan political activity still required writers and publishers to exercise a certain caution. In spite of these conditions, poetry in Nepal remained the most vital and innovative genre, in which sentiments and opinions on contemporary social and political issues were frequently expressed. While the Nepali short story adapted its present form only during the early 1930s, it has rapidly developed a surprisingly high degree of sophistication. These stories offer insights into the workings of Nepali society: into caste, agrarian relations, social change, the status of women, and so on. Such insights are more immediate than those offered by scholarly works and are conveyed by implication and assumption rather than analysis and exposition. This book should appeal not only to admirers of Nepal, but to all readers with an interest in non-Western literatures. Himalayan Voices establishes for the first time the existence of a sophisticated literary tradition in Nepal and the eastern Himalaya.
Download or read book Selected Poems written by Haldhar Nag and published by Black Eagle Books. This book was released on 2020-08-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have often wondered if Haldhar Nag graduated from a poetry school. Of course, that cannot be true, but my feeling arises from the abundance of figures of speech that appear in his poetry. Unknown to him, he sprinkles liberally the effects of alliteration, metaphors, internal rhyming, personification, onomatopoeia, and what have you in his usage. Ghensali (River Ghensali) is personification at its best, where the poet personifies a river in spate as a young lass in exuberance. And yes, he has come out with sonnets too. Read Ati (Too Much) to get a taste of Haldhar sonnet. The stanzas are spaced in 4, 4, 4, 2 lines, with a proper rhyme scheme. It leaves me in wonderment again - If he did not go to a poetry school, then did God plant all these literary usages in his head? For the sound effect, listen to Chaetar Sakaal (The Morning of March) - twelve stanzas replete with onomatopoeic works. Pity the translator who has to preserve the special effect in another language. I take recourse to the limitations of translation once again and state the obvious: Translations can never attain the beauty of the original. If we liken the original to an attractive painting, at best, the translation can be a replica or a photograph. A hallmark of Haldhar Nag's poetry is what I call the Haldhar twist. It is particularly prominent in his short poems. The poet takes an abrupt turn in the direction in the last stanza, not necessarily for summarizing or moralizing. The surprise turn in the final stanza, instead, leaves the readers with a 'wow' effect. Very many poems in this collection display the Haldhar twist - Our village Cremation Ground, A Cubit Taller, The Dove is my Teacher, and Old Banyan Tree, to name a few", writes the translator in his prefix. The collection has 60 poems.
