Download or read book The Poetry Alarm Clock written by Jill Jennings and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Poetry Alarm Clock, you will meet a drunk with smeared lipstick who shows up only at midnight; a lady enshrined forever on a restaurant wall; a little boy with Shaken Child Syndrome who just wants a home; a backyard with magical properties; a colonel in the Army who wears orange socks; and a factory worker in a drug plant who runs out of pills for herself. Images like these you won't be able to get out of your mind, and they are on every page of this volume. Poems set like jewels in a jester's crown of the ironic, the ridiculous and the tragic, The Poetry Alarm Clock brings you people you feel you already know as well as new ones you want to know more about. Coming from the mind of a woman who worked in television, newspapers, magazines and public relations, and then gave it all up to teach Latin in the public schools, this book of poetry will appeal to you, even if you hated poetry in high school.

Download or read book Red Suitcase written by Naomi Shihab Nye and published by BOA Editions, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, teacher, essayist, anthologist, songwriter and singer, Naomi Shihab Nye is one of the country's most acclaimed writers. Her voice is generous; her vision true; her subjects ordinary people, and ordinary situations which, when rendered through her language, become remarkable. In this, her fourth full collection of poetry, we see with new eyes-a grandmother's scarf, an alarm clock, a man carrying his son on his shoulders. Valentine for Ernest Mann You can’t order a poem like you order a taco. Walk up to the counter and say, "I’ll take two" and expect it to handed back to you on a shiny plate. Still, I like you spirit. Anyone who says, "Here’s my address, write me a poem," deserves something in reply. So I’ll tell a secret instead: poems hide. In the bottoms of our shoes, they are sleeping. They are the shadows drifting across our ceilings the moment before we wake up. What we have to do is live in a way that lets us find them. Once I knew a man who gave his wife two skunks for a valentine. He couldn’t understand why she was crying. "I thought they had such beautiful eyes." And he was serious. He was a serious man who lived in a serious way. Nothing was ugly just because the world said so. He really liked those skunks. So, he re-invented them as valentines and they became beautiful. At least, to him. And the poems that had been hiding in the eyes of skunks for centuries crawled out and curled up at his feet. Maybe if we re-invent whatever our lives give us we find poems. Check your garage, the odd sock in your drawer, the person you almost like, but not quite. And let me know.

Download or read book Small Hours written by Ilyse Kusnetz and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns poignant and hopeful, raging and joyful, "Small Hours" interweaves the personal and the political, connecting family history to moments within a larger historical arc of injustice and oppression. The poems in this collection bear witness to those whose stories have fallen into the fractures of history and been lost, their "mouths opening / below earth, their bodies / burning like forbidden books", about whom "we know almost nothing". These poems ask us to recall the tyrants of the past as similar abuses of power repeat themselves in the present. Forgiveness and understanding vie with the memory of events that can never be redressed, only remembered, and sometimes redeemed.
