Download or read book The Wonder of Nature in Rhythm Rhyme written by Melody Hamby Goss and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more”—this poem by Lord Byron speaks to my soul. Fantasy and fairies dance to the music of nature in this book. Original artwork creates expression for the words, giving meaning to singing frogs and swirling shores while questioning mankind’s treatment of our earth and the environment. Learn the secrets of the universe by touching a star or riding a moonbeam. Hear sunshine or see wind blowing while watching a dewdrop fall to the sea. As John Keats said, “The poetry of the Earth is never dead.” Close your eyes while imagining nature in fantasy.
Download or read book The Wonder Paradox written by Jennifer Michael Hecht and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wonder Paradox offers a lively, practical, and transcendent road map to meaning and connection through poetry. Where do we find magic? Peace? Connection? We have calendars to mark time, communal spaces to bring us together, bells to signal hours of contemplation, official archives to record legacies, the wisdom of sages read aloud, weekly, to map out the right way to live—in kindness, justice, morality. These rhythms and structures of society were all once set by religion. Now, for many, religion no longer runs the show. So how then to celebrate milestones? Find rules to guide us? Figure out which texts can focus our attention but still offer space for inquiry, communion, and the chance to dwell for a dazzling instant in what can’t be said? Where, really, are truth and beauty? The answer, says The Wonder Paradox, is in poetry. In twenty chapters built from years of questions and conversations with those looking for an authentic and meaningful life, Jennifer Michael Hecht offers ways to mine and adapt the useful aspects of tradition and to replace what no longer feels true. Through cultures and poetic wisdom from around the world—Sappho, Rumi, Shakespeare, Issa, Tagore, Frost, Szymborska, Angelou, and others—she blends literary criticism with spiritual guidance rooted in the everyday. Linking our needs to particular poems, she helps us better understand those needs, our very being, and poetry itself. Our capacity for wonder is one of the greatest joys of being human; The Wonder Paradox celebrates that instinct and that yearning.

Download or read book The Poet s Freedom written by Susan Stewart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we need new art? How free is the artist in making? And why is the artist, and particularly the poet, a figure of freedom in Western culture? The MacArthur Award–winning poet and critic Susan Stewart ponders these questions in The Poet’s Freedom. Through a series of evocative essays, she not only argues that freedom is necessary to making and is itself something made, but also shows how artists give rules to their practices and model a self-determination that might serve in other spheres of work. Stewart traces the ideas of freedom and making through insightful readings of an array of Western philosophers and poets—Plato, Homer, Marx, Heidegger, Arendt, Dante, and Coleridge are among her key sources. She begins by considering the theme of making in the Hebrew Scriptures, examining their accountof a god who creates the world and leaves humans free to rearrange and reform the materials of nature. She goes on to follow the force of moods, sounds, rhythms, images, metrical rules, rhetorical traditions, the traps of the passions, and the nature of language in the cycle of making and remaking. Throughout the book she weaves the insight that the freedom to reverse any act of artistic making is as essential as the freedom to create. A book about the pleasures of making and thinking as means of life, The Poet’s Freedom explores and celebrates the freedom of artists who, working under finite conditions, make considered choices and shape surprising consequences. This engaging and beautifully written notebook on making will attract anyone interested in the creation of art and literature.

There’s EpochElm, the grumpy old tree who has seen the rise and fall of many civilisations. “I’ve seen it all,” he grumbles, “from the pyramids to the moon landing. And let me tell you, nothing surprises me anymore!” Then there’s ChronoBark, the youngest and most adventurous tree, always getting into mischief. “Time travel is a piece of cake,” he boasts, “if you don’t mind a few bumps and bruises along the way!” But the real stars of the show are the exceptional children who join the trees on their time-travelling escapades. Together, they visit the dinosaurs, sail with pirates, and even have tea with emperors. “Learning history has never been this much fun!” exclaims one of the children. “It’s like living in a storybook!” HISTORY TREE and The Wrinkles of Time is not just an adventure; it’s a celebration of curiosity, friendship, and the joy of learning. Ahuruonye’s witty and poetic prose brings history to life, making it accessible and engaging for young readers.
