Download or read book The Poetry Oracle written by Amber Guetebier and published by CCC Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining poetry with divination, this collection resurrects the ancient Greek art of Rhapsodomancy, or divining one's fortune or destiny through the use of poetry or verse. Harkening back to antiquity, when Polyhymnia—the muse of sacred poetry—and Calliope—the muse of epic poetry—were invoked for guidance, each page of this anthology contains three poetic excerpts, chosen for their oracular wisdom. Readers are asked to contemplate a question and then randomly select an excerpt, which will offer revelations and inspiration for further contemplation. Excerpts are drawn from poets throughout the ages, including Sappho, Li Po, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Dylan Thomas, William Blake, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Though designed as a prophetic tool, it can also be used as an introduction to some of the world's greatest poets.
Download or read book The Body written by Tureeda Mikell and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is creative non-fiction poetry that tests the limits of standard religious, psycho-logic, physio-logic limitations of normative knowledge. The poetry recovers the body's intelligence, the interior or the intuitive-deemed-illusionary, or inferior-a form of psychosis or sin if exposed. It has been said, civilization is the renunciation of instinct. These poems resist an insistence that children should not be permitted to see Spirit or Ghost. From a loved one seeing a leech-like creature around a relative's head before the onset of disease, to seeing a body's energy field hold the same image revealed in an art exhibit the following day. This is the body's oracle of memory via flesh, blood, bone; via a train derailed, relocating its track into the future.

Download or read book Northern Oracle written by Kirsten Dierking and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. On Kirsten Dierking's collection of poems NORTHERN ORACLE: "Kirsten Dierking's poems often focus on the small things, the unnoticed natural world around her, 'the unknowable swimmers' in the water beneath the canoe, or the realization of the 'glorious spirit' inside a wild flower. It is this seeing that gives her poems their joy. But it is the unflinching realization that 'you love things that can't help leaving' and that, 'you can't stop/ yourself becoming/ all the white, / expressionless snow' that gives the poems their strength"--Louis Jenkins
Download or read book Visiting the Oracle written by Deborah Keniston and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art and poetry from the discovered journals of Deborah Keniston After Deborah Keniston was hospitalized with an Alzheimer's-like disease, her husband, Edward Lueders, an author and English professor, discovered her poetry-filled journals while going through her papers. He knew she had been writing occasional poems, but had not realized the quantity or quality of her work. Thus began his own work transcribing and compiling this selection, which contains Deborah's words and her artwork. Keniston passed away on January 3, 2013. During her 73 years of life, she was an artist, teacher, naturalist, explorer, and traveler. Her poems reflect her deep love of nature, her keen observer's eye, and her ability to evoke imagery and emotion through language. Because she wrote mainly for herself, her words are truthful and genuine, chosen without the need to impress. In the words of Terry Tempest Williams, "Keniston's poetry is an open hand... 'a clearing away' of what no longer matters and a settling of what does, a gathering of hope lived through language." There are praise poems to be discovered here, as well as deep expressions of longing, loneliness, and the; wish to be known and understood"--

Download or read book Poetry of Witness The Tradition in English 1500 2001 written by Carolyn Forché and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking anthology containing the work of poets who have witnessed war, imprisonment, torture, and slavery. A companion volume to Against Forgetting, Poetry of Witness is the first anthology to reveal a tradition that runs through English-language poetry. The 300 poems collected here were composed at an extreme of human endurance—while their authors awaited execution, endured imprisonment, fought on the battlefield, or labored on the brink of breakdown or death. All bear witness to historical events and the irresistibility of their impact. Alongside Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, this volume includes such writers as Anne Askew, tortured and executed for her religious beliefs during the reign of Henry VIII; Phillis Wheatley, abducted by slave traders; Samuel Bamford, present at the Peterloo Massacre in 1819; William Blake, who witnessed the Gordon Riots of 1780; and Samuel Menashe, survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. Poetry of Witness argues that such poets are a perennial feature of human history, and it presents the best of that tradition, proving that their work ranks alongside the greatest in the language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oracle on Smoke: Being a Few Utterances in a Simple and Not at All Delphic Style, With Certain So-Called Poems There Among Scattered Two of the Oracle's Talks ('On the Pipe' and 'Sans Nicotine') as well as some of the verse, have appeared in the Sphinx at divers times. The other matter herein appearing has never before stood in type. In all of it there is no purpose save to amuse the smoker and give a genial word for mans devotion to the weed, "which combines the venom of the serpent with the compassion of the prophet." And that no one may unjustly accuse me of "borrowed ideas," I protest now that I have never read "My Lady Nicotine."
