Download or read book Six Eclogues from William Barnes s Poems of Rural Life in the Dorset Dialect first Collection 1884 written by Tom L. Burton and published by Barr Smith Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When William Barnes began publishing poems in the Dorset County Chronicle in the 1830s in the dialect of his native Blackmore Vale, the first poems that appeared were in the form of eclogues - dialogues between country people on country matters. Although an immediate success, the eclogues were in time overshadowed by the many lyric poems that Barnes published in the dialect. They are now perhaps the most undervalued works by this brilliant but neglected poet. Each eclogue is, effectively, a one-scene play, demanding performance for its potential to be realized. The phonemic transcripts in this book, based on the findings in T. L. Burton's William Barnes's Dialect Poems: A Pronunciation Guide (2010), show what the poems would have sounded like in Barnes's own time; the accompanying audio recordings (made at the 2010 Adelaide Fringe) give living voice to the sounds noted in the transcripts." -- cover description.
Download or read book My Poets written by Maureen N. McLane and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thrillingly original exploration of a life lived under poetry's uniquely seductive spell "Oh! there are spirits of the air," wrote Percy Bysshe Shelley. In this stunningly original book Maureen N. McLane channels the spirits and voices that make up the music in one poet's mind. Weaving criticism and memoir, My Poets explores a life reading and a life read. McLane invokes in My Poets not necessarily the best poets, nor the most important poets (whoever these might be), but those writers who, in possessing her, made her. "I am marking here what most marked me," she writes. Ranging from Chaucer to H.D. to William Carlos Williams to Louise Glück to Shelley (among others), McLane tracks the "growth of a poet's mind," as Wordsworth put it in The Prelude. In a poetical prose both probing and incantatory, McLane has written a radical book of experimental criticism. Susan Sontag called for an "erotics of interpretation": this is it. Part Bildung, part dithyramb, part exegesis, My Poets extends an implicit invitation to you, dear reader, to consider who your "my poets," or "my novelists," or "my filmmakers," or "my pop stars," might be.
Download or read book Word of Mouth written by Catherine Bowman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in 1995, NPR’s All Things Considered began presenting poets reading their own works. Introduced by “poetry DJ” Catherine Bowman, these popular short segments allowed listeners to experience poetry as a kind of verbal music, recalling its roots as a spoken art form. Word of Mouth, edited by Bowman, brings together the poems that have been featured on NPR, providing a window onto the dynamic contemporary poetry scene. A child playing with flashes of sunlight in the aisle of an airplane; a woman describing tropical fruit to someone in a faraway country; a man building a deck with his dead father’s hammer; the musings of a Barbie doll participating in a 12-step program: these poems powerfully and lyrically transform the stuff of every day life. A celebration of the poetic voice that includes 33 acclaimed writers, this vibrant anthology proves beyond any doubt that poetry is far more than just words on paper.

Download or read book Bewilderment written by David Ferry and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 National Book Award for Poetry. To read David Ferry’s Bewilderment is to be reminded that poetry of the highest order can be made by the subtlest of means. The passionate nature and originality of Ferry’s prosodic daring works astonishing transformations that take your breath away. In poem after poem, his diction modulates beautifully between plainspoken high eloquence and colloquial vigor, making his distinctive speech one of the most interesting and ravishing achievements of the past half century. Ferry has fully realized both the potential for vocal expressiveness in his phrasing and the way his phrasing plays against—and with—his genius for metrical variation. His vocal phrasing thus becomes an amazingly flexible instrument of psychological and spiritual inquiry. Most poets write inside a very narrow range of experience and feeling, whether in free or metered verse. But Ferry’s use of meter tends to enhance the colloquial nature of his writing, while giving him access to an immense variety of feeling. Sometimes that feeling is so powerful it’s like witnessing a volcanologist taking measurements in the midst of an eruption. Ferry’s translations, meanwhile, are amazingly acclimated English poems. Once his voice takes hold of them they are as bred in the bone as all his other work. And the translations in this book are vitally related to the original poems around them. From Bewilderment: October The day was hot, and entirely breathless, so The remarkably quiet remarkably steady leaf fall Seemed as if it had no cause at all. The ticking sound of falling leaves was like The ticking sound of gentle rainfall as They gently fell on leaves already fallen, Or as, when as they passed them in their falling, Now and again it happened that one of them touched One or another leaf as yet not falling, Still clinging to the idea of being summer: As if the leaves that were falling, but not the day, Had read, and understood, the calendar.

Download or read book Bathroom Poetry written by T.A. Dieringer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about poetry; it is simply a book to read while one relieves him or herself in the latrine, bathroom, head, or toilet, while taking a crap, dropping a stool, pinching a loaf, dropping the kids off at the lake, I could go on, but I am sure you get the picture. There are quotes from the stalls of many bathroom walls found all over the world. Now since I am male, I did not have a chance to visit many, if any, female bathrooms (sorry, ladies), so I do not have many quotes from said places. Some subject material may be offensive. Please read with cautious trepidation. Some are personal quotes, things that pop into my brain at any given moment. Sometimes these thoughts are followed by bouts of laughter that cause people that are standing near me to think that I am strange. They usually react by walking away fast. But I decided to add these thoughts to Bathroom Poetry anyways. Some quotes are famous and semifamous quotes. Some are unknown author quotes. Many of the quotes were found on the stalls of bathrooms from all over the globe. I have collected many quotes from memory during my travels around the world while serving twenty-one years in the United States Navy. This book is meant for entertainment value only. Any words of wisdom gleaned while reading this book is pure shit-house luck.
Download or read book Search Party written by William Matthews and published by HMH. This book was released on 2005-04-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the prize-winning poet: “A stunning volume . . . A master of the understatement, Matthews is wryly philosophical and self-deprecating.” —Booklist When William Matthews died, the day after his fifty-fifth birthday, America lost one of its most important poets, one whose humor and wit were balanced by deep emotion, whose off-the-cuff inventiveness belied the acuity of his verse. Drawing from his eleven collections and including twenty-three previously unpublished poems, Search Party is the essential compilation of this beloved poet's work. Edited by his son, Sebastian Matthews, and William Matthews's friend and fellow poet Stanley Plumly (who also introduces the book), Search Party is an excellent introduction to the poet and his glistening riffs on twentieth-century topics from basketball to food to jazz.
