Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Angel World, and Other Poems The Angel World. It was a holy festival in Heaven, A joy of satisfaction at the close Of some divinest epoch of the world. Far round the infinite extremes of space Star unto star spake gladness, as they sped On their resplendent courses; and a smile, Enkindling on the countenances of the suns, Thrilled to the heart of nature, while there rose, Expressive of divine felicity, A clear bright strain of music, like a braid Of silver round a maiden's raiment, all Imbounding and adorning. There, in one Of those most pure and happy stars which claim Identity with Heaven, high raised in bliss, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Harsh World and Other Poems written by Angel Gonzalez and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although seven volumes of his poetry are available in Spanish, the work of Ángel González has not been widely translated into English. This bilingual edition, introduced by the poet, presents selections from Palabra sobre palabra (Word upon Word), his definitive collection. Included are poems from Grado elemental (Elementary Grade), which won the Antonio Machado Prize for Poetry. Born in Oviedo, Spain in 1925, Ángel González published his first book in 1956 to immediate acclaim. His poetry is characterized by striking imagery and deeply personal statement that is often sad and sardonic. Of his work González writes, "'Experience,' 'reality', and 'preciseness of expression' are probably...the boundaries that limit the space, on a horizontal plane, in which my poetic intentions move. Upon this plane, trying to add another dimension, I attempt to erect my creative and imaginative possibilities....In some of these poems, written and published in Spain, the result of a determined desire to bear witness will have to be sought not in what the words say but in what they imply, in the spaces of shadow, of silence of anger, or of helplessness that they discover or uncover." Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download or read book Dissecting the Angel and Other Poems written by Michelle Castleberry and published by . This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michelle Castleberry's "Dissecting the Angel and Other Poems" is the remarkable debut of a poet in strong voice and with a sure poetic sense in matters great and small. Stepping into the world presented here is to open a present you did not expect and find yourself almost overwhelmed with delight at what you have been given. The Gideons, jazz, the god of fire, nightmares, love and divorce, the devil's nephew, a Delta lullaby, and so much more are examined and brought to life here. Her poems are rich with imagery from her childhood among the tomato fields and timber lanes of southeastern Arkansas; Michelle Castleberry remains grounded in what is most important from her beginnings, even as she ventures out into the realm of intelligent and inspired imagination. This extraordinary first book by an already accomplished poet reminds us of the continuing importance, relevance, and, yes, necessity of poetry, poetry that offers us both pleasure and truth. Michelle Castleberry is a poet, sometime saxophonist, and clinical social worker. Her work has appeared in "Umbrella," "Bellemeade Books," "The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature," "Poemeleon," "The Anthology of Southern Poetry, Vol. V: Georgia," and "The Chattahoochee Review." She is most proud of her involvement in the Athens, Georgia, community of Word of Mouth, a monthly open poetry reading. She lives in Watkinsville, Georgia. Praise for "Dissecting the Angel and Other Poems" "Michelle Castleberry's poems are often quiet, but never subtle or shy. In fact, they are fearless and dead set on searching out and praising beauty in this world: from a coroner's exam table to a hospital burn unit in Afghanistan, or a winter carnival, these poems sing with feather and grit. Read this book and be moved." -Travis Wayne Denton, author of "When Pianos Fall from the Sky" and "The Burden of Speech" "Michelle Castleberry's poems are probative and lyrical, proving instinct and heart are still essential for our customary lives. 'Dissecting the Angel' is a fervent, defiant, and fresh collection from a poet of ardor and nerve." -Stephen Kuusisto, author of "Planet of the Blind" "In 'Dissecting the Angel and Other Poems, ' Michelle Castleberry conjures a landscape that is both of the real world-her home in rural Arkansas, and in equal measure, of the dreams we all carry within us of home: 'For most of my life/I've woken up from nightmares/mouthing the wish to go Home.' These poems are created out of sharply etched images and filled with insight. Most importantly, they all come straight from the heart of the poet." -Judith Ortiz Cofer, author of "A Love Story Beginning in Spanish" "Raw, piercing, full of sass and the sacrament of longing, her imagery captures the universal." -Trish Joyce, professor, creative writing, Broward College "Whatever gift it takes to make poetry, and from whichever god of words that gift is given, Michelle Castleberry has been exceedingly blessed. Her collection, 'Dissecting the Angel and Other Poems, 'is triumphant writing, a far better offering than anything I've read in a very long while. Lovers of rich, profound language will be mesmerized by her descriptive power and by the surety of her insight. The gods have chosen well." -Terry Kay, author of "To Dance with the White Dog" and "The Book of Marie"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR POETRY “An undisputed literary event.” —NPR “History—with its construction and its destruction—is at the heart of In the Lateness of the World. . . . In [it] one feels the poet cresting a wave—a new wave that will crash onto new lands and unexplored territories.” —Hilton Als, The New Yorker Over four decades, Carolyn Forché’s visionary work has reinvigorated poetry’s power to awaken the reader. Her groundbreaking poems have been testimonies, inquiries, and wonderments. They daringly map a territory where poetry asserts our inexhaustible responsibility to one another. Her first new collection in seventeen years, In the Lateness of the World is a tenebrous book of crossings, of migrations across oceans and borders but also between the present and the past, life and death. The world here seems to be steadily vanishing, but in the moments before the uncertain end, an illumination arrives and “there is nothing that cannot be seen.” In the Lateness of the World is a revelation from one of the finest poets writing today.

Download or read book Sometimes I Never Suffered written by Shane McCrae and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet I think now more than half Of life is death but I can’t die Enough for all the life I see In Sometimes I Never Suffered, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains “a shrewd composer of American stories” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America’s racial history, as well as his own. Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time’s manifold potential to mend.
