Download or read book The Subject of Feeling written by Peter Rose and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Youth and maturity, love and infatuation, memory, music, loss, landscape, Peter Rose exposes the human experience in poems that are gorgeously lucid and often profound. The Subject of Feeling reveals a fearless wisdom, a wry wit and a quiet depth. These poems stop you in your tracks." -- Andrea Goldsmith *** "The poetry of Peter Rose moves from classical Rome to contemporary Australia; from mordant comedy to moving elegy; from searing clarity to teasing obliquity. In his brilliant anatomies of the relationship between 'art' and 'life, ' the public and the private, Rose shows himself to be a master stylist. But style for Rose is not divorced from experience. Rather, experience is understood as, and through, style, a fact illustrated by the welcome new additions to the 'Catullan Rag, ' Rose's caustic and hilarious ongoing satire of Australian literary life." -- David McCooey *** "Peter Rose's poems encapsulate a passionate vision of life, fusing sardonic wit, sophisticated irony and unsettling gestures. Through their innovative imagery the poems repristinate the mundane and the quotidian, transforming their experience into a unique revelation of the uncanny and the miraculous. It is the poetry of the ultimate sensations, crystalised in lucid formal transparency and imperceptible rhythmic patterns. It is finally the space where words show their love for the real, and besiege its secrets, with intensity and empathy." -- Vrasidas Karalis *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Poetry]

Book excerpt: These poems have been written over a ten-year period since the publication of my first book in 2011. They deal mainly with love: for my children and grandchildren, for travel, for art, for nature, and for the many people with whom I've fallen in love over a lifetime.The poems also explore the many poetic forms I've discovered along the way and couldn't wait to try out. I had already written Sonnets and Villanelles but later discoveries such as the Rondel, Pantoum and Sestina all had to be attempted and conquered. There is at least one of each of these forms in this collection.

Download or read book Ghostly Subjects written by Maria Takolander and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ghostly Subjects, Maria Takolander applies her unique and unflinching gaze to the earth, relationships, the body and art, revealing the exquisite strangeness that marks the world as fair game for poetry. Her topics range from the Madrid train bombings to sex dolls, from domestic violence to poetry readings, and from love games to cosmetics. The collection also features two significant sequences: ‘Alien Signals,’ inspired by the films of Stanley Kubrick; and ‘Lessons Learned from Literature,’ inspired by the literature and lives of Mary Shelley, Franz Kafka, Jorge Luis Borges and Sylvia Plath. The poems in Ghostly Subjects can be violently intimate, but they are also often, as these two sequences show, ironically aware of the narcissistic play of representation. Indeed, narcissism is explicitly acknowledged in the title of another sequence reflecting on the hidden history and banal peculiarities of the human form. The world portrayed in this striking collection is intensely uncanny, and it is rendered with a distinctive precision of language and vision. In Ghostly Subjects, its poems so often haunted by mirrors, Maria Takolander has reached through the surface of the glass, clawing up through the dripping silver the otherness of the self, its situations and its illusions.
Download or read book Removing the Kimono written by Anne M. Carson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every poem in Anne M. Carson's collection is appealing on account of the distinctive cast of mind revealed in a precise language that registers the author's alertness to all senses. Three groups of poems establish a pattern of mortality and rebirth, of natural forces and human emotions. The central heart of the book is an extended mediation on the loss of Anne's husband - poems both deeply personal and universal. They are held by two other sections which explore her relationship with and place within the natural world, particularly drawing on the theme of regeneration after disaster.
