Download or read book Westport Poems written by Jonathan Towers and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved, familiar figure known as “Jon the Walker” for his daily appearances traversing the marshes and waterways of various Connecticut towns, Jonathan Towers composed brief, emotionally evocative poems until his suicide in 2005 after years of struggle with mental illness. His work was fueled by reading and a rich inner life exploring the tarot, medieval history, courtly love and relationship, and the pre-Socratic philosophers. These poems beautifully evoke a sense of place, while also powerfully critiquing the forces of modern life that threaten it.
Download or read book Westport written by Richard Dey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for WESTPORT POINT ? Poems A sailor, commercial fisherman, and published poet, Richard Dey has inhabited the several worlds of Westport Point. He has found love there and the wrenching absence of love. He has become a witness to its seasons. This remarkable gathering is both Deys tribute to this riverine world and an unforgettable account of his Westport passages. Llewellyn Howland III, author of No Ordinary Being: W. Starling Burgess and The New Bedford Yacht Club: A History With experience both as a fisherman and a sailor, Richard Dey represents a unique American voice. For those of us that work and play and identify intimately with small boats, he is our Robert Frost. Dey is the author of clean, powerful, and personal verse about coastal New England life: on the docks, at the tiller, walking the marsh's edge, or gazing in the shed in winter and seeing far more than a boat under a tarp. Richard J. King, series editor of "Seafaring America" and author of The Devil's Cormorant Richard Dey is the laureate of southeastern Massachusetts and its shoreline. He writes with a sturdy New England eloquence and makes poetry from what many of us take for granted: this sandy, rocky coast; the changeable offshore waters; the stubborn, deep-souled people who live and work here. Charles McGrath, former editor of The New York Times Book Review

It won him the Patrick Kavanagh Award. Now Durcan's readers can discover what they have been missing. The poems are printed in the order he originally intended, and the volume concluded with six poems from his very first collaborative collection, Endsville (1967), with Brian Lynch.

This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 2063 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Crane's 'Ultimate Collection' is a comprehensive anthology containing over 200 of his novels, short stories, and poems. Crane's distinct literary style combines naturalism and realism, portraying gritty and raw human experiences within the urban settings of late 19th-century America. His works often explore themes of war, social injustice, and the human condition, making this collection a must-read for those interested in American literature of this period. Crane's use of vivid imagery and clear, concise prose sets him apart as a master storyteller whose impact on American literature cannot be overstated. Stephen Crane, known for his seminal work 'The Red Badge of Courage,' drew inspiration from his own experiences as a war correspondent and his observations of society's marginalized individuals. His unique perspective on human suffering and resilience is evident throughout his extensive literary career, making him a highly regarded figure in American literary history. I highly recommend Stephen Crane's 'Ultimate Collection' to readers seeking a profound exploration of human nature, society, and the harsh realities of life. This anthology offers a comprehensive look into one of America's most influential literary figures and is sure to leave a lasting impression on those who delve into Crane's powerful storytelling.

Download or read book Asian American Poets written by Guiyou Huang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though Asian American literature is enjoying an impressive critical popularity, attention has focused primarily on longer narrative forms such as the novel. And despite the proliferation of a large number of poets of Asian descent in the 20th century, Asian American poetry remains a neglected area of study. Poetry as an elite genre has not reached the level of popularity of the novel or short story, partly due to the difficulties of reading and interpreting poetic texts. The lack of criticism on Asian American poetry speaks to the urgent need for scholarship in this area, since perhaps more than any other genre, poetry most forcefully captures the intense feelings and emotions that Asian Americans have experienced about themselves and their world. This reference book overviews the tremendous cultural contributions of Asian American poets. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 48 American poets of Asian descent, most of whom have been active during the latter half of the 20th century. Each entry begins with a short biography, which sometimes includes information drawn from personal interviews. The entries then discuss the poet's major works and themes, including such concerns as family, racism, sexism, identity, language, and politics. A survey of the poet's critical reception follows. In many cases the existing criticism is scant, and the entries offer new readings of neglected works. The entries conclude with bibliographies of primary and secondary texts, and the volume closes with a selected, general bibliography.
Download or read book Early American Poetry written by Jane Donahue Eberwein and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1978-07-21 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first major-figure anthology of American poetry of the colonial and early national periods, an indispensable volume for both students and scholars of American literature and civilization. Five major literary figures are spotlighted: Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), Edward Taylor (1642?"-1729), Timothy Dwight (1752-1817), Philip Freneau (1752-1832), and William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878). An introduction to each chapter summarizes the life of the poet, reviews his or her literary career, describes and evaluates artistic achievement, and places the poet in an intellectual context. The writer's relationship to changing religious, philosophical, political, and cultural patters is established. The contemporary perspective is augmented by the inclusion of an appendix which presents three important poems by other writers: Micheal Wigglesworth's "God's Controversy with New England," Ebenezer Cook's The Sot-Weed Factor, and Joel Barlow's "Hasty Pudding." Eberwein goes beyond the most popular and familiar works to include those of unrecognized literary merit, presenting a thoroughly unique approach which illuminates the full range of the writers' themes, forms and poetic voices.
Download or read book Dark Pool of Light Volume Three written by Richard Grossinger and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In books like Embyogenesis and Embryos, Galaxies, and Sentient Beings, author Richard Grossinger brought together the subjects of biological embryology and the esoteric process of human consciousness becoming embodied ("The embryo is the universe writing itself on its own body"). In Dark Pool of Light, his three-volume series of books discussing the nature of reality and consciousness, Grossinger weaves neuroscience-based behaviorism and the phenomenology of "being" and reality together with psychological and psychospiritual views of "that single thing which is most difficult to understand or vindicate: our own existence." In 2008, Grossinger began studying with noted psychic teacher John Friedlander, who helped him refine his vision of cerebral and somatic awareness to still-subtler levels. "Dark Pool of Light began unnamed in the journals of my psychic work with John Friedlander," says Grossinger, "not so much a record of actual practices as insights from them and extensions out of them." This expansive inquiry into the nature of consciousness ends with this third volume in the series, The Crisis and Future of Consciousness. Grossinger addresses the perennial question of evil and shares the author's hopes and fears for the future of humanity. While wisdom gleaned from such seemingly disparate sources as science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality might appear "very, very different things," Grossinger nevertheless finds their meeting place in subjective, lived experience.
