Download or read book Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture written by Silvia Montiglio and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-08-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Examining the act of wandering through many lenses, Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture addresses questions such as: Why did the Greeks associate the figure of the wanderer with the condition of exile? How was the expansion of the world under Rome reflected in the connotations of wandering? Does a person learn by wandering, or is wandering a deviation from the truth? In the end, this matchless volume shows how the transformations that affected the figure of the wanderer coincided with new perceptions of the world and of travel, and invites us to consider its definition and import today."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Wanderings A Poetic Journey written by Jon Bero and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-04-28 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of poems I've written over the years that until now, just sat around gathering dust and never seeing the light of day. The content ranges from pervasive thoughts to personal experiences to being completely fictionalized. The theme linking all of these poems together is love (or loss of love) in all its embodiments (from romantic to family to friendship to a love for a place or atmosphere.) Its been an interesting experience, going back and reading works I did years ago, reinterpreting them from a completely different mindset and point of view. It's a process that I think has led to some very interesting juxtapositions that I hope are just as interesting for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tranquil moments where the world's clamor diminishes to a murmur, we discover the gateway to our inner wilderness-a realm as expansive and diverse as any landscape under the skies. William Gomes' "Gardens of Solitude" beckons you to embark on a journey not outward into the world, but inward, to navigate the profound terrains of soul and spirit. This poignant collection of poetry is a celebration of solitude, a cherished space for introspection, growth, and deep connection. Each poem carves a path through the inner wilderness, exploring the unspoken dialogues within us, the quiet heart-whispers that often remain unheard, and the internal symphonies that resonate in moments of stillness. As you wander through these metaphorical gardens, you will encounter vivid echoes of love and loss, the subtle burgeoning of hope, the tranquil landscapes of contemplation, and the radiant blossoms of inspiration. These poems, companions on the solitary journey towards understanding and acceptance, capture a spectrum of emotions and epiphanies that solitude alone can foster. Whether enjoyed in the tactile pages of a paperback or the intimate delivery of an audiobook, "Gardens of Solitude" offers a resonant experience, providing solace, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the quiet moments that enrich our lives. In these moments of stillness, we often encounter the most profound truths of our existence, whispered not from without, but from within the very gardens of our souls. Welcome to "Gardens of Solitude", where each poem invites you deeper into the wilderness of self, a place shrouded in beauty and mystery, ripe for exploration. Here, in the solitude of our inner gardens, clarity and peace await, obscured by the noise of the everyday world. Let this collection be your guide and companion on your journey inward. With every word, William Gomes invites you to wander, to wonder, and to witness the beauty that lies in the quiet, the solitude, and in the spaces between. This collection is not just a reading experience-it is an invitation to a journey of self-discovery and contemplation.
Download or read book Wanderings and Sojourns the Songs and Verses Book written by Jim Scott and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the third book in the Wanderings and Sojourns series, was created in response to requests from people reading sections of the first two volumes: On Five Continents and Three Oceans and On Tropical Islands and Sparkling Seas. Those requests/suggestions were for a book comprised solely of the author's poetry and songs. Within these pages then are 80 such works including several found in the first two volumes but with many more favourites added. Here you will find the love songs that had no place in the previous books, some longer story-poems that themselves recount an entire tale, more parodies of popular songs, sketches of sea-folk, philosophies and insights born from the author's travels previously narrated. Here you will find a wanderer's reflections upon a life of unique experience. The poetic styles crafted are as varied as the themes; from the blunt language of the "lower decks" sailor to an ethereal abstract allowing the reader to add whatever interpretation they will to the meaning; from the nonsense child-like rhymes that carry an adult message to the wistful lament of the broken heart. Each reader will relate many of the poems to their own experiences and perhaps, for just a while, share with the author the spirit of what is written as it disturbs something from deep within their memory, their personal philosophy, their soul....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Lars Zwerenz has created a distinct persona and voice in this new collection of his poetry entitled VISIONARY WANDERINGS. With this, Zwerenz wanders far and wide and comes up with diverse and seemingly unnumbered beauty. These are poems that speak to the feeling of infinity in men- like Keats Grecian urn. The cornucopia of natural imagery defined by its relation to godhood and its virtues, to the wrought beauty of ornaments standing on their places in church and palace, can be likened to the labor and results of Rembrandt.

Download or read book Derek Walcott s Encounter with Homer written by Rachel D. Friedman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derek Walcott's Encounter with Homer puts Derek Walcott's epic poem Omeros in conversation with Homer, especially the Odyssey, to show how reading them against each other changes our understanding of the poems of both poets. It explores Walcott's conscious use of the Odyssey and the Homeric persona of Omeros to explore his own deepening relationship with his craft and his identity as a Caribbean poet. Walcott's ability to serve as the vessel of history for his people and their landscapes rests on his transformation into (and self-perception as) Homer's contemporary and equal. Central to the project of Omeros is thus an account of his shift from a diachronic to synchronic relationship with Homer: over the course of the poem his poetic persona, the "Poet", and Homer come to occupy the same temporality and creative space. By locating the poems of Walcott and Homer in a zone of vibrant and unexpected encounter, Rachel Friedman demonstrates how they can be seen as mutually informing texts, each made richer in the presence of the other. The argument follows two intertwined thematic threads. The first focuses on the poems' landscapes and seascapes and the ways in which Omeros reworks the Odyssey's affective geography. While the Odyssey represents the sea as a dangerous space and valorizes life on land, Walcott reverses this trajectory from sea to land, bearing witness to the painful histories carried in the St Lucian soil and relocating homecoming to the space of the Caribbean Sea, a space which accommodates diasporic histories and the imagining of fluid forms of emplacement. The second thread focuses on Walcott's poetic persona: his journey in and out of the poem and his positioning of himself as a "tribal poet" like Homer. Central to the project of Omeros is the Poet's account of the processes by which he becomes the poet who can adequately give voice to the histories of his people and the archipelago they inhabit.
Download or read book Tracking the Banished Immortal written by Paula M. Varsano and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Li Bo (701-762) has long inspired controversy among readers and critics. Known even during his lifetime as the "Banished Immortal," he continues to spark imaginations and challenge passionately held convictions about poetic values. In this lucid and gracefully written volume, Paula Varsano presents the first full-length study of Li Bo in English in half a century and the first extended look at the poet's critical reception. Persuaded that the essence of his poetry lay well beyond the reach of the usual modes of study and description, readers from the ninth to the twentieth century developed a particularly dynamic critical language. Varsano shows how this language, evolving out of the critical concepts of "emptiness" and "substance," answered the need to conceptualize shifting parameters of poetic creativity over hundreds of years. At the same time, she offers an account of Li Bo's entry into the canon and asks how this in turn transformed both the reception of his work and the transmission of his poetic persona. This story of Li Bo's critical reception and canonization is propelled by the malleable and elusive ideal of the "ancient." And so, Varsano devotes the second part of her study to the poems themselves, investigating those poetic manifestations of ancientness that translated into the enduring figure of the Banished Immortal.

Download or read book William Blake and the Myth of America written by Linda Freedman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tells the story of William Blake's literary reception in America and suggests that ideas about Blake's poetry and personality helped shape mythopoeic visions of America from the Abolitionists to the counterculture. It links high and low culture and covers poetry, music, theology, and the novel. American writers have turned to Blake to rediscover the symbolic meaning of their country in times of cataclysmic change, terror, and hope. Blake entered American society when slavery was rife and civil war threatened the fragile experiment of democracy. He found his moment in the mid twentieth-century counterculture as left-wing Americans took refuge in the arts at a time of increasingly reactionary conservatism, vicious racism, pervasive sexism, dangerous nuclear competition, and an increasingly unpopular war in Vietnam, the fires of Orc raging against the systems of Urizen. Blake's America, as a symbol of cyclical hope and despair, influenced many Americans who saw themselves as continuing the task of prophecy and vision. Blakean forms of bardic song, aphorism, prophecy, and lament became particularly relevant to a literary tradition which centralised the relationship between aspiration and experience. His interrogations of power and privilege, freedom and form resonated with Americans who repeatedly wrestled with the deep ironies of new world symbolism and sought to renew a Whitmanesque ideal of democracy through affection and openness towards alterity.
