Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Are a Genius Grandparent is a book of poems that aims to replay to your grandparents the long-forgotten memories they had with you. The book embodies ten poems, written in simple and clearly defined language and tone that makes it easy for a grandparent to remember some treasured moments with the grandchild and bask in the euphoria of that moment. What children need is love, affection, care, joy, and laughter, which is provided by none other than the grandparents, and what grandparents need is appreciation and feelings of gratitude from their grandchildren. The essence of this book is not only to acknowledge grandparents but also to motivate them, making them see themselves as agile and full of energy. It is rightly said that grandparents are the angels who have silver in their hair and gold in their hearts. They always wish for the well-being of the family, showering all their wisdom and experience in the matters of decision-making. With their rational suggestions, they always put forward their precious counsel. We often find in them a parent, a teacher, and at times, a best friend. When you, as a grandchild, appreciate your grandparents for their contribution and let them know that you love them equally as much as they love you, it brings back the good memories of the past, helping them stay rejuvenated. Making them aware of the fact that you're proud of the sacrifices they have made over the years makes them feel proud of themselves. You Are a Genius Grandparent will make it possible for you to remain closer to your grandparent because as they read every poetic word the book offers, it will tell them that you love them and cherish them. Reminding them of their heroic deeds and appreciating them for the splendid time they spent with you will make them see their continual existence as worthwhile. The author believes that less is more and, hence, wrote this book in the form of poems. It is easier to read and remember the lines and then read again and again. You can give this book as a token of appreciation to your grandparent. He or she will feel happy to hear and learn more and more positive and appreciative words for himself or herself.

Download or read book The Hurting Kind written by Ada Limón and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astonishing collection about interconnectedness—between the human and nonhuman, ancestors and ourselves—from National Book Critics Circle Award winner and National Book Award finalist Ada Limón. “I have always been too sensitive, a weeper / from a long line of weepers,” writes Limón. “I am the hurting kind.” What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world’s pain and joys, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings—and to know that those beings are resolutely their own, that they “do not / care to be seen as symbols”? With Limón’s remarkable ability to trace thought, The Hurting Kind explores those questions—incorporating others’ stories and ways of knowing, making surprising turns, and always reaching a place of startling insight. These poems slip through the seasons, teeming with horses and kingfishers and the gleaming eyes of fish. And they honor parents, stepparents, and grandparents: the sacrifices made, the separate lives lived, the tendernesses extended to a hurting child; the abundance, in retrospect, of having two families. Along the way, we glimpse loss. There are flashes of the pandemic, ghosts whose presence manifests in unexpected memories and the mysterious behavior of pets left behind. But The Hurting Kind is filled, above all, with connection and the delight of being in the world. “Slippery and waddle thieving my tomatoes still / green in the morning’s shade,” writes Limón of a groundhog in her garden, “she is doing what she can to survive.”

Download or read book Burning Province written by Michael Prior and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acerbic, moving, and formally astonishing, Michael Prior's second collection explores the enduring impact of the Japanese internment upon his family legacy and his mixed-race identity. Canada-Japan Literary Award, Winner Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, Winner Raymond Souster Award, Shortlist Amid the record-breaking wildfires that scorched British Columbia in 2015 and 2017, the poems in this collection move seamlessly between geographical and psychological landscapes, grappling with cultural trauma and mapping out complex topographies of grief, love, and inheritance: those places in time marked by generational memory "when echo crosses echo." Burning Province is an elegy for a home aflame and for grandparents who had a complex relationship to it--but it is also a vivid appreciation of mono no aware: the beauty and impermanence of all living things. "The fireflies stutter like an apology," Prior writes; "I would be lying to you / if I didn't admit I love them."

Book excerpt: For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.
