Download or read book Ancient Salt written by Andrew Frisardi and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Frisardi’s essays in Ancient Salt are about several modern and contemporary poets—British, American, and Italian. Frisardi offers close readings of these poets, and considers their work in light of the challenges of living and writing amid the extraordinary transformations of the modern era. Some of the poets are religious, some are agnostic or perhaps atheist, but all of them articulate a human-poetic response to modernity: its pluralism, mobility, scientific discoveries, innovations, and unprecedented global awareness; as well as its rootlessness, fragmentation, dehumanizing mechanization, materialism, environmental catastrophes, and even systematic genocide. The subjects of the essays are Scottish poet Edwin Muir (1887–1959); Italian modernist Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888–1970); Irish poet W. B. Yeats (1865–1939); Welsh poet Vernon Watkins (1906–1968); English poet and Blake scholar Kathleen Raine (1908–2003); English poet-editor Peter Russell (1921–2003); American poet and Alaskan homesteader John Haines (1924–2011); English poet Richard Berengarten (formerly Burns) (1943–); and American poet-critic David Mason (1954–). Frisardi’s accessible style and extensive knowledge of the thought and learning of these poets as well as of the craft of poetry makes these essays substantial nourishment for poetry lovers and students.
Download or read book Something Other Than written by Linda Cassidy and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last century, church attendance and participation in a religious vocation have dropped sharply in the West, accompanied by a rising secularism and growing disillusionment with organized religion. And yet, humanity continues to yearn for a sense of divine meaning in the world about them, something that goes beyond this temporal existence, something that author Linda Cassidy calls Something-Other-Than. In this powerful spiritual memoir, Linda shares the story of her search for meaning and the holiness in all things, baesd on her belief that a direct, personal encounter with the divine provides a truer more lasting pathway to enlightment than following theologies and dogma ordained by others. She describes five pathways available to everyone to approach the divine: the Way of the Book, the Way of Yoga, the Way of Poetry, the Way of the Dream and, in the future, the Way of the Cosmos. Richly accompanied by research and personal experience, her message will inspire readers to explore the ineffable, invisible, and transcendant nature of the human spirit as they walk these paths through her memoir. From dream analysis to learning at the feet of a yoga master, her account of her journey will keep readers turning the page! An engaging and thought-provoking book, this latest offering from Linda Cassidy will propel readers into a quest for their own encounter with the divine.

Download or read book No End to Snowdrops written by Philippa Bernard and published by Shepheard-Walwyn. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the life of Kathleen Raine, who played an important role in the literary history of 20th-century England, this authorized biography tells how she developed from a small girl who only wanted to be a poet into a world-renowned poet and literary scholar. Starting with Kathleen’s struggle against the constrictions of her suburban childhood, the story of her life then continues with her exciting days at Girton College in the 1920s, where she became friends with many brilliant writers, artists, and scientists. She published Blake and Tradition, marking her as a leading William Blake scholar, and works on Coleridge, Yeats, and Thomas Taylor subsequently followed. Late in life, she founded the journal Temenos with the help of Prince Charles and was honored with the Queen’s Gold Medal for poetry. Using letters, documents, and personal interviews, the extensive research shows how a woman from a modest background used her talents and ambition, in spite of the problems that they may cause, to achieve worldwide distinction in her chosen field. This complete picture of a complex and brilliant individual sympathetically assesses Kathleen Raine's work while throwing a critical light on her private life, which was often at odds with her achievements.
Download or read book Today in the Taxi written by Sean Singer and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the passenger seat of Sean Singer’s taxicab, we witness New York’s streets livid and languid with story and contemplation that give us awareness and aliveness with each trip across the asphalt and pavement. Laced within each fare is an illumination of humanity’s intimate music, of the poet’s inner journey—a signaling at each crossroad of our frailty and effervescence. This is a guidebook toward a soundscape of higher meaning, with the gridded Manhattan streets as a scoring field. Jump in the back and dig the silence between the notes that count the most in each unique moment this poet brings to the page. “Sean Singer’s radiant and challenging body of work involves, much like Whitman’s, nothing less than the ongoing interrogation of what a poem is. In this way his books are startlingly alive... I love in this work the sense that I am the grateful recipient of Singer’s jazzy curation as I move from page to page. Today in the Taxi is threaded through with quotes from Kafka, facts about jazz musicians, musings from various thinkers, from a Cathar fragment to Martin Buber to Arthur Eddington to an anonymous comedian. The taxi is at once a real taxi and the microcosm of a world—at times the speaker seems almost like Charon ferrying his passengers, as the nameless from all walks and stages of life step in and out his taxi. I am reminded of Calvino’s Invisible Cities, of Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn... Today in the Taxi is intricate, plain, suggestive, deeply respectful of the reader, and utterly absorbing. Like Honey and Smoke before it, which was one of the best poetry books of the last decade, this is work of the highest order.” —Laurie Sheck
