Download or read book The Cycle of Life Poetry Volume 1 written by James D. Mason and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not too many people leave this world untouched by the unforeseen elements of life. It is a struggle between good versus evil, love versus hate and the loneliness that can be in our hearts even though we are surrounded by family and loved ones. The book deals with what humans have in common with the earth and the everlasting storms of life. It deals with the need to be loved and wanted and to be able to dream until our hearts content. No matter what we dream about it is okay to grab the world by the tail and reap the rewards that we so desire; even if we have to weather the storms, we have the ability to survive—because there is always a storm on the horizon followed by serenity and calmness. The CYCLE OF LIFE crosses all boundaries, which all people can relate to having experienced the love, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the sadness—and they will relate to the messages of the struggles that are entangled in these poems. This book of poetry deals with everyday life and how uncertain it can be as far as people coping with issues of lost love, hard times, depression, loss of loved ones, drug addiction, loneliness, and the struggles of making it through an uncertain and sometimes complicated world. Life is like the weather, ever changing. Thunderstorms one day and beautiful days the next day, always enter weaving in and out of human life. You the reader will be able to recognize and realize that these poems could be about you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this gentle meditation on the cycle of life, author and illustrator Paloma Valdivia gives us an opportunity to reflect on those who have gone, those who will come, and those of us who are here in this world — for the time being. The neighbor’s cat, a favorite aunt or the fish in yesterday’s soup have gone — and we may well miss them. At the same time, we celebrate the arrival of a new baby or a litter of playful kittens. It’s a mystery where we come from and where we are going, so why not enjoy ourselves while we can?

Download or read book Ten Poems to Change Your Life written by Roger Housden and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great poetry calls into question everything. It dares us to break free from the safe strategies of the cautious mind. It opens us to pain and joy and delight. It amazes, startles, pierces, and transforms us. It can lead to communion and grace. Through the voices of ten inspiring poets and his own reflections, the author of Sacred America shows how poetry illuminates the eternal feelings and desires that stir the human heart and soul. These poems explore such universal themes as the awakening of wonder, the longing for love, the wisdom of dreams, and the courage required to live an authentic life. In thoughtful commentary on each work, Housden offers glimpses into his personal spiritual journey and invites readers to contemplate the significance of the poet's message in their own lives. In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.

Download or read book Chaucer and the Making of English Poetry Volume 1 written by P. M. Kean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972. This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history - and demonstrates that in both these senses Chaucer is a maker of English poetry. The author assesses the extent of Chaucer’s debt to the English tradition. She considers the development of his ‘urbane’ manner as a new poetic technique and, with reference to such poems as the Parlement of Foules and the House of Fame, discusses new themes in the Love Vision. She concludes with a detailed study of Chaucer’s great debate on love Troilus and Criseyde.
Download or read book There is a Future written by Amy Bornman and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning about the ancient Jewish tradition of midrash, a rabbinic form of textual interpretation that seeks and imagines answers to unanswerable questions, felt to Amy Bornman like a poetic invitation to re-engage with the Bible in a new way. There is a Future: A Year of Daily Midrash – an award-winner in the Paraclete Poetry Prize competition – grew from a yearlong project to read the Bible daily, and write daily midrashic poems in response to the readings—to honor the text by wondering about, and struggling with, it. By engaging particular passages of scripture across the Old and New Testaments directly, these poems imagine new dimensions of the text, and make vivid connections to the world as it is now and to the author’s own life—emerging at year’s end with new hope in a future that at times feels impossible, as the days pile on days and the text’s enduring questions continue to ring.

Download or read book Theodoros Prodromos Miscellaneous Poems written by Nikos Zagklas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In twelfth-century Byzantium, poetry played a key part in various contexts of textual production and consumption. One of the leading poets of this period was Theodoros Prodromos, whose surviving corpus comprises approximately 17,000 verses. Even though most of his poetry has been presented in modern critical editions, a group of his works has been overlooked by modern philologists and literary scholars alike. The selected corpus--conventionally designated as Miscellaneous Poems--consists of texts on various themes and in a wide range of genres, ranging from cycles of religious and secular epigrams to riddles, ethopoiiai, and works of a self-referential and essayistic nature. This book includes the first critical edition and study of these poems, accompanied by English translations and commentaries. Their study contributes to a more nuanced picture of Prodromos' intellectual profile, expanding his image as the 'poet laureate' of the Komnenian court and providing entirely new insights into his activity in the different settings of Constantinopolitan intellectual life. The book also sheds new light on the complex relationship between patronage and other aspects of literary activity and the circulation of the same text in different performative contexts.
Download or read book Reliques of Ancient English Poetry Vol 1 3 written by Various Authors and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work gives a unique opportunity to dive into the world of ancient British poetry and legends. Here, a reader will find the primary sources for the epic stories about Gilderoy, Winifred, Bryan, Sir Cauline, King Estmere, Sir Guy, King Arthur, the Fairy Queen, and many more. A collection in three volumes contains numerous works by famous and anonymous authors adapted to modern English. The significance of this work is apparent. It was the first collection of ballades in English poetry of this size. It influenced the Romantic movement greatly and contributed to the revivals of ballades in England. Robert Burns, Wordsworth, and Coleridge based their lyric poems on this collection. Although, this work could never see the light of the day. Back in the 18th century, Irish Bishop Thomas Percy saved a manuscript almost set afire by a housemaid. It was an ancient collection of ballades, which inspired the Bishop for further research. Today, it's not just an important historical book; it is also a great source of study materials as well as an exciting read for anyone fond of history and British poetry.
