Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Frank Praeger's Sighs and Stray Gusts and Other Occasional Poems we find a poet weaving karmic webs of inclination and happenstance, extending to his readers a series of invitation to play, or walk awhile hand-in-hand, or stop a moment to wonder. The poems themselves emerge from Praeger's imagination and heart, from a place of deep compassion, and they travel far in place and time, displaying an astonishing range of emotion while still grounding themselves in the subtle distinctions of place, most notably Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior. Here we find poems of both quiet dignity and of barbaric yawp, and both their vigor and their gentleness of attention, their assent into both fantasy and fond reminiscence, was a pleasure to immerse myself in. I paused only occasionally, as the speaker in Praeger's opening poem, to look "up from our foraging / half-hidden among bushes and dwarf trees." What a wonder to see the world anew. ̶ M. Bartley Seigel author of This Is What They Say and founding editor of the critically acclaimed literary magazine [PANK].

Download or read book Time and Materials written by Robert Hass and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Robert Hass's new collection—his first to appear in a decade—are grounded in the beauty and energy of the physical world, and in the bafflement of the present moment in American culture. This work is breathtakingly immediate, stylistically varied, redemptive, and wise. His familiar landscapes are here—San Francisco, the Northern California coast, the Sierra high country—in addition to some of his oft-explored themes: art; the natural world; the nature of desire; the violence of history; the power and limits of language; and, as in his other books, domestic life and the conversation between men and women. New themes emerge as well, perhaps: the essence of memory and of time. The works here look at paintings, at Gerhard Richter as well as Vermeer, and pay tribute to his particular literary masters, friend Czeslaw Milosz, the great Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, Horace, Whitman, Stevens, Nietszche, and Lucretius. We are offered glimpses of a surprisingly green and vibrant twenty-first-century Berlin; of the demilitarized zone between the Koreas; of a Bangkok night, a Mexican desert, and an early summer morning in Paris, all brought into a vivid present and with a passionate meditation on what it is and has been to be alive. "It has always been Mr. Hass's aim," the New York Times Book Review wrote, "to get the whole man, head and heart and hands and everything else, into his poetry." Every new volume by Robert Hass is a major event in poetry, and this beautiful collection is no exception.

Download or read book The Complete Poetry of James Hearst written by James Hearst and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.
