Download or read book Gilgamesh s Snake and Other Poems written by Ghareeb Iskander and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epic of Gilgamesh is perhaps the greatest surviving work of early Mesopotamian literature. According to legend, Gilgamesh built the city walls of Uruk, modern-day Iraq, to protect his people from external threats. Although the epic records events from more than four thousand years ago, those events echo many of the social and cultural concerns of Iraq today. In this luminous bilingual collection of poems, Ghareeb Iskander offers a personal response to the epic. Iskander’s modern-day Gilgamesh is a nameless Iraqi citizen who witnessed the fall of the dictatorship, who exists in a constant state of threat, and who dreams, not about eternity, but simply about life. While Gilgamesh was searching for the elixir of life, Iskander’s hero is searching for consolation.

Download or read book Snake Like Charms written by Amanda Joy and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is grounded deep in reality, as are the snake cultures and legends it draws from. Author Amanda Joy is a poet from the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia, origin of the Rainbow Serpent, the Great Spirit that represents the world's oldest religious tradition. According to Indigenous song-cycles, a snake literally created this country. These lines from the poem 'Your Ground' carry their wisdom lightly "snake says / be still / stand your ground / it the only protection we have.' This book quivers with snakes, consorting with birds and animals, in company with humans: "There's no animal alive / won't meet your eye." The author won the Peter Porter Poetry Prize, created by Australian Book Review, in 2016. ***.This book is teaming with life, it's a celebration of families surrounded by animals, a book where ideas snake through the lines like arteries. Amanda Joy's variegated language explores rebellious ideas, delves into the underground but remains compassionate. This poet takes a hard look at the world now and yet comes up with a hugely optimistic book.--Robert Adamson (Series: UWAP Poetry) [Subject: Poetry]

Download or read book Moon Snakes Love amp other poems written by Lakshmi Ambady and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Moon, Snakes, Love” is an expression of a search, an inward gaze that brought forth experiences within and found expression in poetry and art. These poems haven’t been conceived through a thought-process but rather have been an outpouring, by being in sync with the life around. This book isn’t about trying to understand the unknown but an expression of an eternal lust for the unfathomable that lay within everyone. The artwork embedded in this book serves to ignite the curiosity within the reader and to inspire them to embark on a journey like that of the poet's. There has always been an inexplicable enigma around moon and snakes in the yogic lore and being an ardent student of yoga, this book is an offering to articulate the poet’s encounter with the mystical qualities that moon, snakes and love represent.

Download or read book Still Life with Feeding Snake written by John Burnside and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From our earliest childhood experiences, we learn to see the world as contested space: a battleground between received ideas, entrenched conventions and myriad Authorised Versions on the one hand, and new discoveries, terrible dangers, and everyday miracles on the other. As we grow, that world expands further, to include new species, lost continents, the realm of the dead and the lives of others: cosmonauts swim in distant space, unseen creatures pass through a garden at dusk; we are surrounded by delectable mysteries. The question of this contested, liminal world sits at the centre of Still Life with Feeding Snake, whose poems live at the edge of loss, or on the cusp of epiphany, always seeking that brief instant of grace when we see what is before us, and not just what we expected to find. In ‘Approaching Sixty’, the poet watches as a woman unclasps her hair: ‘so the nape of her neck/is visible, slender and pale/for moments, before the spill/of light and russet/falls down to her waist’. This, like each poem in the book, becomes an essay in still life and a memento mori, illuminating transient experience with a profound clarity and a charged, sensual beauty.
