Download or read book The Keepers of the Shrine Poems written by Andrew Marshall Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-02-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE KEEPERS OF THE SHRINE is a compilation of original poems that were written for young adults, both male and female, and children of all ages. It addresses manhood and womanhood, and the responsibility each one of us has for our own livelihood and life. It is reflective of the mood, conditions, and problems that are prevalent within the black race in the United States, and the opposition to overcome. It is an attempt to motivate each of us to look into our inner selves and seek the true understanding that accompany faith, which also allows us to embrace a spiritual peace and calmness that will make you free. It deals with social, economical, and racial harmony and disharmony, along with posing challenges to the people, specifically young adults, to know their glorious history and the will of their ancestors who somehow elevated their courageous souls during times of adversity and conflict. This book is a poetic perspective of the things that people think, see and feel. It reinforces the oneness of people, and that the people are collectively one.

He attempts to cope with prison life, and insanity takes hold when Mark meets a stranger called the Painter. Who is this man who mysteriously appears, giving Mark a compelling view into self-actualization, forcing him to look within? What he finds there is shocking.
Download or read book Collected Poems written by Lorna Goodison and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorna Goodison is a poet alive to places, from the loved and lived-in world of Jamaica where she began and started a family, to the United States and Canada where she has made her teaching career, but always re-connecting with her Caribbean roots. She travels with an ear alert to histories and voices. How differently English sounds in the tropi and in colder lands, at seaside in sunlight and on prairies, mountains and in cities. The same words say quite different things, depending on who speaks them and who's listening, obeying or resisting. She covers a wide range of subjects and themes, too. Her instinct is to celebrate being alive in a world that is rich but in peril. 'And what is the rare quality that has gone out of poetry that these marvellous poems restore?' asks Derek Walcott. 'Joy.' The 'mango of poetry', eaten straight from the tree, Goodison somehow finds growing in Wordsworth country and in Sligo, in Russia and Norway, in Spain and Portugal which spilled their empires into the Caribbean, in Hungary and Far Rockaway. // 'The publication of Lorna Goodison's Collected Poems – with their extraordinary music, sensuous texture, and powerful historical imagination – is a major event. These are poems stunningly alive to the nuances of language, beautifully pitched and tuned, rich with feeling and insight.' Jahan Ramazani // 'Lorna Goodison brings herself into the presence of every poem, and so into the presence of her readers. Like the ideal teacher, she enables us to hear history sing its joy and shout its rage in her own personal tones of voice, and to feel the folds and textures of her various homelands like a display of rich cloths. She excels in both the emblematic and descriptive powers of popular poetry, and introduces us to an array of characters sharply but generously perceived, and often as deliciously audible after death as in life. This is an inspiring collection for a time when hopes for transnational unity are profoundly challenged. Goodison's poems frequently acknowledge the complex unhealed scars of imperial greed and violence, but the impulse is towards hope, and our imaginations are enchanted by a potential global spring of warmth, nourishment, camaraderie and sheer fun. In the poet's own words of gratitude to "Miss Mirry African bush healing woman", we should "turn thanks now" to Lorna Goodison for addressing us across so many years on her unique world-service of human truth – and stay tuned.'

Download or read book Haikai Poet Yosa Buson and the Bash Revival written by Cheryl A. Crowley and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the haikai verse and paintings of the brilliant, innovative artist Yosa Buson (1716-1783) as a focal point from which to explore how Japanese writers competed for artistic authority in a time when popular responses to economic, technological, and social changes were creating the beginnings of a modern literature. The first part of the book discusses Buson's role in the Bash? Revival movement, situating his haikai in the context of the social networks that writers of his time both relied on and resisted. The second part explores Buson's "hokku," linked verse, and "haiga" (haikai painting). The book concludes with a discussion of Buson's reception in the modern period, and includes translations of his principal works.

Book excerpt: The Milan Papyrus ( P. Mil. Volg. VIII. 309), containing a collection of epigrams apparently all by Posidippus of Pella, provides one of the most exciting new additions to the corpus of Greek literature in decades. It not only contains over 100 previously unknown epigrams by one of the most prominent poets of the third century BC, but as an artefact it constitutes our earliest example of a Greek poetry book. In addition to a poetic translation of the entire corpus of Posidippus' poetry, this volume contains essays about Posidippus by experts in the fields of papyrology, Hellenistic and Augustan literature, Ptolemaic history, and Graeco-Roman visual culture.
