Download or read book Summer in September and Other Poems written by David J. Murray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer and early fall of 2015, the warmest September ever recorded in Toronto, a widow and a widower made an unusual connection. Following their meeting for the first time as single people, the pair began visiting each other, either at his place in Toronto or at her place in the Quebec countryside. They also travelled as sightseers to Montreal and to Kingston and attended a wedding at a vacation resort. Summer in September and Other Poems emerged from that connection, a collection of poetry written from the widower to his friend and including several poems written by her in response. Featuring ten topical sections, these verses recall the poets deceased spouses, consider their various travels both together and separately and explore ideas of romance, nature, old age, praise and sleep. Short and compelling, the poems of this collection offer an intriguing view of romance following grief. Surfacing Socializing here, alone, was fun, But Ive been impatient to have it over and done And let my undermind, obsessed with you, Surface at last, lucid, untrammeled and true, Until it vies with the hillscape I see here In producing sonic colours, pure and clear.

Download or read book At the End of this Summer written by John Haines and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fresh from the publication of his welcome collected poems (The Owl in the Mask of the Dreamer, LJ 8/93), Alaska-based poet Haines here bravely presents uncollected poems from the period before the appearance of his first volume, Winter News (1966). Although it is possible to discern in these lines the influences of such poets as Robinson Jeffers and Edgar Lee Masters, as well as that of William Carlos Williams, to whom the young Haines first sent these poems, he early developed his own way. These are the works of a young poet?and a young man (as evidenced by the prosodic and emotional awkwardness of "Admission" or "On a Point of Departure"), but there is an uncommon excitement in hearing Haines's mature voice already fully emergent by the end of the volume, as in "Verse" or "Two Horses, One by the Roadside." Haines's poems, characterized by a spartan lyricism and a distinctive, unshowy intelligence, ought to satisfy fastidious and inexperienced readers alike."--Graham Christian, Library Journal.

Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. “Crackles with energy and snaps with authenticity and voice.” —Justina Ireland, author of Dread Nation “An incredibly potent debut.” —Jason Reynolds, author of the National Book Award Finalist Ghost “Acevedo has amplified the voices of girls en el barrio who are equal parts goddess, saint, warrior, and hero.” —Ibi Zoboi, author of American Street This young adult novel, a selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List, is an excellent choice for accelerated tween readers in grades 6 to 8.
