Download or read book Knittitude written by Megan Baldrige and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megan Baldrige is a poet who knits, or, a knitter who moonlights as a poet. In poetry, she does not usually rhyme; in knitting, sometimes her seams are a little unseemly. She loves putting ideas, questions and noticings about knitting into verse. "Finally-a collection of clever, funny, wistful, undeniably true insights into the addictive folly that we sufferers know of as knitting. The mad thoughts behind those rhythmic clicks have been translated into purls of wisdom. Guaranteed to leave you in stitches!" Keiko Ohnuma writer, editor and knitter "Knitting - changing a strand of yarn into a pair of socks, a sweater, a blanket - contains a sort of magic. Creating poetry contains that same magic. Megan Baldrige's poems about knitting conjure a paranormal world usually reserved for knitters that can now be shared by the rest of us." Larry Schulte, poet "If you took Megan Baldrige's knitting poems for pure light-hearted wit and whimsy, you were misled. Like knitting itself, her poetry appears humble and unpretentious. But the wit is always sharp, forthright. And her themes are deeply meaningful. This is a collection about knitting, yes. But that is only half of it. These poems are guides for living." Mary Dudley, Poet and Specialist in child & family development

Download or read book Knitting the Fog written by Claudia D. Hernández and published by Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together narrative essay and bilingual poetry, Claudia D. Hernández’s lyrical debut follows her tumultuous adolescence as she crisscrosses the American continent: a book "both timely and aesthetically exciting in its hybridity" (The Millions). Seven-year-old Claudia wakes up one day to find her mother gone, having left for the United States to flee domestic abuse and pursue economic prosperity. Claudia and her two older sisters are taken in by their great aunt and their grandmother, their father no longer in the picture. Three years later, her mother returns for her daughters, and the family begins the month-long journey to El Norte. But in Los Angeles, Claudia has trouble assimilating: she doesn’t speak English, and her Spanish sticks out as “weird” in their primarily Mexican neighborhood. When her family returns to Guatemala years later, she is startled to find she no longer belongs there either. A harrowing story told with the candid innocence of childhood, Hernández’s memoir depicts a complex self-portrait of the struggle and resilience inherent to immigration today.

Download or read book Rendezvous with Death written by Mark W. Van Wienen and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterfully assembled volume, arranged chronologically, reveals American poets' shifting, conflicting reactions to the war and highlights their efforts to shape U.S. policies and define American attitudes. In his introduction, Mark W. Van Wienen describes the rapid, politically charged responses possible in a culture attuned to poetry. His historical and biographical notes provide a sturdy framework for the study of poetry's role in social activism and change during the "war to end war." The most complete resource of its kind, Rendezvous with Death brings together poetry originally published in little magazines, labor journals, newspapers, and wartime anthologies. Alight with sorrow, grace, silliness, satire, pride, and anger, works by IWW members, sock poets, pacifists, and protestors take their places next to those by Edith Wharton, Alan Seeger, Wallace Stevens, James Weldon Johnson, Amy Lowell, and Claude McKay.

Download or read book Form and Modernity in Women s Poetry 1895 1922 written by Sarah Parker and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While W. B. Yeats’s influential account of the ‘Tragic Generation’ claims that most fin-de-siècle poets died, or at least stopped writing, shortly after 1900, this book explodes this narrative by attending to the twentieth-century poetry produced by women poets Alice Meynell, Michael Field (Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper), Dollie Radford, and Katharine Tynan. While primarily associated with the late nineteenth century, these poets were active in the twentieth century, but their later writing is overlooked in modernist-dominated studies, partly due to this poetry’s adherence to traditional form. This book reveals that these poets, far from being irrelevant to modernity, used these established forms to address contemporary concerns, including suffrage, sexuality, motherhood, and the First World War. The chapters focus on Meynell’s manipulations of metre to contemplate temporality and literary tradition; Michael Field’s use of blank verse to portray the conflicted modern woman; Radford’s adaptation of the aesthetic song-like lyric to tackle the experience of the city, urban crime, and suffrage; and Tynan’s employment of the ballad to soothe bereaved mothers during the First World War. This book ultimately shows that traditional forms played a vital role in shaping mature women poets’ responses to modernity, illuminating debates about form, tradition, and gender in twentieth-century poetry.

Download or read book Tumult Tears written by Vivien Newman and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the First World War and its immediate aftermath, hundreds of women wrote thousands of poems on multiple themes and for many different purposes. Womens poetry was published, sold (sometimes to raise funds for charities as diverse as Beef Tea for Troops or The Blue Cross Fund for Warhorses), read, preserved, awarded prizes and often critically acclaimed. Tumult and Tears will demonstrate how womens war poetry, like that of their male counterparts, was largely based upon their day-to-day lives and contemporary beliefs. Poems are placed within their wartime context. From war worker to parent; from serving daughter to grieving mother, sweetheart, wife; from writing whilst within earshot of the guns, whilst making the munitions of war, or whilst sitting in relative safety at home, these predominantly amateur, middle-class poets explore, with a few tantalising gaps, nearly every aspect of womens wartime lives, from their newly public often uniformed roles to their sexuality.
