Download or read book The Poetics of American Song Lyrics written by Charlotte Pence and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poetics of American Song Lyrics is the first collection of academic essays that regards songs as literature and that identifies intersections between the literary histories of poems and songs. The essays by well-known poets and scholars including Pulitzer Prize winner Claudia Emerson, Peter Guralnick, Adam Bradley, David Kirby, Kevin Young, and many others, locate points of synthesis and separation so as to better understand both genres and their crafts. The essayists share a desire to write on lyrics in a way that moves beyond sociological, historical, and autobiographical approaches and explicates songs in relation to poetics. Unique to this volume, the essays focus not on a single genre but on folk, rap, hip hop, country, rock, indie, soul, and blues. The first section of the book provides a variety of perspectives on the poetic history and techniques within songs and poems, and the second section focuses on a few prominent American songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Michael Stipe. Through conversational yet in-depth analyses of songs, the essays discuss sonnet forms, dramatic monologues, Modernism, ballads, blues poems, confessionalism, Language poetry, Keatsian odes, unreliable narrators, personas, poetic sequences, rhythm, rhyme, transcription methods, the writing process, and more. While the strategies of explication differ from essay to essay, the nexus of each piece is an unveiling of the poetic history and poetic techniques within songs.

Download or read book The outcast of rosencraft written by Barbara Morgan and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything returns to Rosencraft. Pain, humiliation, fear, anger. Even her, who gently attracts, gently loves. Gently waits, gently kills. A young woman named Emily stands as the last descendant of the Redwoods, an affluent family in Rosencraft—a town that balances modernity and age-old traditions. After the disappearance of both of her parents, Adam Redwood and Katherine Kingstone, Emily finds herself alone with her stepmother and stepsister. Branded as an outcast like her mysterious mother with supernatural powers, she grapples with mistreatment and belittlement. Emily feels trapped within a spiral that will eventually lead her to ”disappear”, just like those who resist conformity to societal norms and express aspirations, ideals, and preferences that oppose those of the current. Meanwhile, a significant heirloom known as the Redwood treasure awaits Emily as she approaches adulthood. This provokes the greed of many among the townsfolk, including members of the founding family, the town’s namesake. Lawrence Rosencraft, the captivating scion, displays an unusual attraction to Emily. Subjected to ruthless cruelty, Emily experiences a rude awakening when pain instils a newfound energy in her, transforming her into a vengeful force ready to descend upon Rosencraft without mercy or remorse. Possessed by what Emily herself identifies as the demon of pain, she begins feeding on the life force of the town, seducing the entire lineage of the Rosencrafts and draining every ounce of mental and physical will out of them. Can the disruptive power of Emily Redwood, the outcast of Rosencraft, be stopped before it’s too late? Some wounds must be cleansed with blood. Gently sliding into the abyss of their thin, evanescent shadow. Because victory does not always belong to who shouts the loudest. Everything returns to Rosencraft. Even her. The outcast.
