Download or read book The Art of Gravity written by Jay Rogoff and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Balanchine, one of the twentieth century's foremost choreographers, strove to make music visible through dance. In The Art of Gravity, Jay Rogoff extends this alchemy into poetry, discovering in dancing -- from visionary ballets to Lindy-hopping at a drunken party -- the secret rhythms of our imaginations and the patterns of our lives. The poems unfold in a rich variety of forms, both traditional and experimental. Some focus on how Edgar Degas's paintings expose the artifice and artistic self-consciousness of ballet while, paradoxically, illuminating how it creates rapture. Others investigate dance's translation of physical gesture into allegorical mystery, especially in Balanchine's matchless works. Rogoff pays tribute to superb dancers who grant audiences seductive glimpses of the sublime and to all of us who find in dance a redemptive image of ourselves. The poet reveals dance as an "art of gravity" in the illusory weightlessness of a "dance that ends in mid-air," in the clumsiness of a Latin dance class's members "trip- / ping over each other in the high school / gym," and in the exploration of ultimate Gravity -- a sonnet sequence titled "Danses Macabres." Ultimately, Rogoff confronts with unflinching precision the dark consummation of all our dancing.

Download or read book Web watching written by Bruce Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "'Has fate a hand?' The stance is witty, but the underlying questions are serious. In the 'shifting light' of human consciousness, WEB-WATCHING addresses large issues by looking at the small worlds of moth and loon and dragonfly. Form mediates: it delights and instructs. Within the Large Uncertainty, the 'patterns on the page' provide at least a partial answer. By his ceaseless flow of mind and craft, Bruce Bennett again proves that the deft hand of the poet makes of quandary a kind of Fate"--Judith Kitchen.
Download or read book The Aerialist written by Victoria Hallerman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "THE AERIALIST is a wise, observant, and deeply reflective body of work. With mature authority and true poetic intelligence, Hallerman presents us with our lives as aerialists: 'Her life is the wife she can never come down... / if she were to cut the wire (she dreams of this) / the sky would break like a mirror into the sea / and nothing would be whole again..."--Jean Valentine. "As soon as I began reading these poems, I knew I was in the company of a writer I wanted to be with, someone whose personality becomes recognizable on a basic yet open level that is appealing and not in any way exclusive. I was eager to learn what she had to say about the wide variety of things that concern her. This is the unforced voice of a poet who has nothing to prove (and therefore does not need to lecture or presume) and does not restrict herself to one small area in short, a poet who reveals herself without needing to confess. The Aerialist is a superb collection; it's hard to believe that it is the

Download or read book Book of Rhymes written by Adam Bradley and published by Civitas Books. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If asked to list the greatest innovators of modern American poetry, few of us would think to include Jay-Z or Eminem in their number. And yet hip hop is the source of some of the most exciting developments in verse today. The media uproar in response to its controversial lyrical content has obscured hip hop's revolution of poetic craft and experience: Only in rap music can the beat of a song render poetic meter audible, allowing an MC's wordplay to move a club-full of eager listeners. Examining rap history's most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, literary scholar Adam Bradley argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. Book of Rhymes explores America's least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves.
