Book excerpt: John Keats is among the greatest English poets. (He himself imagined he would be counted so!) For some readers, his odes define the essence of poetry. We also discover in Keats a great composer of sonnets. Here, for the first time published in a separate edition, are all sixty-four sonnets, the first written when Keats was eighteen, the last just five years later. Reading these poems, you'll experience the wonder of Keats's growing poetic powers; you'll feel the "shock of recognition" when you come upon the great ones. Presented with an introduction by Edward Hirsch, and accompanying explanatory notes, the sonnets stand out as a triumph of their own. "Between 1814 and 1819, John Keats wrote sixty-four sonnets. He was eighteen years old when he composed his first sonnet; he was turning twenty-four when he completed his last one. He restlessly experimented with the fourteen-line form and used it to plunge into (and explore) his emotional depths. You can sit down and read these poems in a single night and have a complete Keatsian experience—he breathes close and offers himself to us; his presence is near. You can also read them throughout your adulthood and never really get to the bottom of them. These short, durable poems are filled with the mysteries of poetry. "In the sonnets, Keats conveys the range of his interests, his concerns, his attachments, his obsessions. Some are light and improvisatory, tossed off in fifteen minutes, a moment's thought. Some are polemics, or romantic period pieces; others are brooding testaments or compulsive outpourings, which seem to expand on the page. These sonnets are replete with a sensuous feeling for nature—'The poetry of earth is never dead'—that looks back to Wordsworth and forward to Frost. They also luxuriate in the spaces of imagination—'Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold'—and trigger the daydreaming capacities of the mind." —from the Introduction by Edward Hirsch

Download or read book Sixty Sonnets written by Ernest Hilbert and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A.E. Stallings writes that like the minutes of the hour, these Sixty Sonnets both combine to make a whole and shine as individual moments. While groups of these sonnets occasionally suggest a narrative refreshingly, like the fugitives and weary academics that people these pages they work alone. The newspaper crime blotter itself, from which, perhaps, some of these incidents are torn, speaks up as a single sonnet. Here are barflies, high-school dropouts, retired literary critics, washed-up novelists and war-zone reporters, suburbanites and historians, and lyrics with a range of reference from Zippos and Star Wars figures to William James and Thomas Eakins. Mostly in a decasyllabic line that allows for the roughed-up prose rhythms of speech, these sonnets tend to conclude in true iambic pentameter, the tradition that haunts rather than dominates these poems. It is the voice of a less lyrical Prufrock ( We ll head out, you and me, have a pint ), a voice that speaks with unsentimental affection for the failures, the Gentlemen at the Tavern but it is a voice that just as easily could be speaking of the gentlemen at the Mermaid Tavern, and indeed there is something of Marlowe, as well as Eliot, in this sensibility. The evasive presence in the background occasionally speaks in propria persona the wry, worldly-wise voice of the poet himself as much listener as talker something like a sympathetic bartender, scrupulous in his measures, who has heard it all before, but nightly observes every hour unfold afresh from behind the counter.

Download or read book lost sonnets written by Catherine Vidler and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catherine Vidler's visual poems are experiments in symmetry, images flipped, repeated, fragmented, and transformed, liberated from their mimetic source contexts and re-presented as frenetic harmonies of shape and movement. - Ken Hunt Vidler's beautifully oblique, diagrammatic pieces remind us that poetry has always been a numbers game. Lost Sonnets is like walking through a forest of winter trees on a clear, moonless night. Up above there are no clouds, only comets and constellations. - Tom Jenks Lost Sonnets confidently places Vidler's writing next to Shakespearean, Petrarchan and Spenserian forms; here metrics and rhyme look beyond language into a visual form ranging across the map of potentiality. Soon we will all be writing Vidlerian sonnets. - Derek Beaulieu

Download or read book Sonnets 64 written by David Cope and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains sixty-four sonnets in the Shakespearian form. With few exceptions-albeit less than Shakespeare made with his-I have followed the ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyming scheme, iambic pentameter meter, and three quatrains followed by a couplet. I have been less careful with the subtle shifts in tone around line nine but conformed to the less subtle surprise in the couplet. Writing a sonnet is like solving a complex crossword puzzle with the additional rules that it must make sense, follow proper syntax, abide by known semantics, still be a poem, and have an overall goal that's not always obvious. Like the haiku in my book called Comes the Fiery Night, some of the sonnets in this collection were created by a computer program I created. To give you a hint as to which might be which, I confess that I had to rake through hundreds of outputs to find the few I included here. To help those of you who may hate even the concept of computer-produced poems, I admit that the ones that I produced on my own here are far, far better than the others. Of course, the fact that I created the program that created the computer-produced poems, I suppose I need to take credit for the entire 64.

Download or read book Hereafter Knowing in Sonnets and Their Similars written by Robert Mueller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hereafter Knowing in Sonnets and Their Similars explores the work of prominent poets through a philosophical and theological lens. It focuses on the well-travelled yet precarious achievement that is Petrarch’s writing of the sonnet in Italian, his English successors Wyatt and Spenser with their own amatory strategies, and how Shakespeare’s sonnets turn the many difficult corners for imagining a writing against the untimely. Its reach includes ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy; scripture; patristic theology; Renaissance and contemporary poetry; and numerous language traditions including Greek, Latin, Italian, French, German, and English. Robert Mueller explores a set of writers who address themselves to manifestations of the Other—for Dan Machlin to the place of Body, for Augustine to his wanting to know the Lord, for Petrarch to the honor of Love—alongside Aristotelian and other forms of epistemology. Through exacting, insightful, and original readings of these writers, Mueller analyzes the circuits and relations that connect them to those they address, with particular attention, especially for Sharon Dolin, to living their lives in these relations, and also to the temporal positions they adopt among the similar expressions of longing and seeking. The book offers new readings of canonical and noncanonical texts and assembles a singular archive of writers across many centuries and language traditions.
