Download or read book The Wine dark Sea written by Mathias Svalina and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. In a clear-cut voice "as simple as ink," Mathias Svalina's THE WINE-DARK SEA vocalizes the urge to write oneself alive. Through this lyric journal of taut poems, each titled The Wine-Dark Sea, Svalina breathes life into overlooked places: the driveway a car turns into at the end of a workday, how a tree holds the dirt, the edge of a page on which "I'd always assumed / I'd die alone." Every poem is a baffled drop, a pulse trying not to be dead, and beneath the spine of each sentence, Svalina hides, carrying us, seeking an exit. It is impossible not to be stained by THE WINE-DARK SEA.

Download or read book The Edge of Meaning written by James Boyd White and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain questions are basic to the human condition: how we imagine the world, and ourselves and others within it; how we confront the constraints of language and the limits of our own minds; and how we use imagination to give meaning to past experiences and to shape future ones. These are the questions James Boyd White addresses in The Edge of Meaning, exploring each through its application to great works of Western culture—Huckleberry Finn, the Odyssey, and the paintings of Vermeer among them. In doing so, White creates a deeply moving and insightful book and presents an inspiring conception of mind, language, and the essence of living.

Download or read book A Hotel Lobby at the Edge of the World written by Adam Clay and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “At the edge of the world, you’ll want to have this book. The final lines of Adam Clay’s poem, ‘Scientific Method,’ have been haunting me for weeks.” —Iowa Press-Citizen The distilled, haunting, and subtly complex poems in Adam Clay’s A Hotel Lobby at the Edge of the World often arrive at that moment when solitude slips into separation, when a person suddenly realizes he can barely see the place he set out from however long ago. He now sees he must find his connection back to the present, socially entangled world in which he lives. For Clay, reverie can be a siren’s song, luring him to that space in which prisoners will begin “to interrogate themselves.” Clay pays attention to the poet’s return to the world of his daily life, tracking the subtly shifting tenors of thought that occur as the landscape around him changes. Clay is fully aware of the difficulties of Thoreau’s “border life,” and his poems live somewhere between those of James Wright and John Ashbery: They seek wholeness, all the while acknowledging that “a fragment is as complete as thought can be.” In the end, what we encounter most in these poems is a generous gentleness—an attention to the world so careful it’s as if the mind is “washing each grain of sand.” “Poems that are in turn clear and strange, and always warmly memorable.” —Bob Hicok “These poems engage fully the natural world . . . even as they understand the individual’s exclusion from it.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book A Dream Within a Dream written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An example of Poe’s melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet’s own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker’s ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet contemplation of the speaker is contrasted with thunderous passing of time that waits for no man. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

Download or read book Wedged the Poetic Edge written by Anne W. Mhorelund and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her poetry, the author attempts to create a view of the world through poetic lenses. Writing in several genres, she aims to stretch readers’ imaginations and challenge unsettled scores with nature, love, and man’s will. She accomplishes this through a frame that draws on insight and questions about this and other realms. The poet’s use of the narrative, free-verse, and rhyme stroke images imbedded in the readers’ mind and heart to coax them to the surface. Through a palette painted with joy, her poetry depicts the fragility of blossoms and the warmth that embraces spiritual awareness. In Wedged – The Poetic Edge, two short stories and one hundred and twenty five poems depicting life through humor, history, and culture, swinging from moods of happiness and sadness, are blended to create a unique reading experience.
Download or read book Poems at the Edge of Differences written by Renate Papke and published by Universitätsverlag Göttingen. This book was released on 2008 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study consists of two parts. The first part offers an overview of feminism's theory of differences. The second part deals with the textual analysis of poems about 'mothering' by women from India, the Caribbean and Africa. Literary criticism has dealt with the representation of 'mothering' in prose texts. The exploration of lyrical texts has not yet come. Since the late 1970s, the acknowledgement of and the commitment to difference has been foundational for feminist theory and activism. This investigation promotes a differentiated, 'locational' feminism (Friedman). The comprehensive theoretical discussion of feminism's different concepts of 'gender', 'race', 'ethnicity' and 'mothering' builds the foundation for the main part: the presentation and analysis of the poems. The issue of 'mothering' foregrounds the communicative aspect of women's experience and wants to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This study, however, does not intend to specify 'mothering' as a universal and unique feminine characteristic. It underlines a metaphorical use and discusses the concepts of 'nurturing', 'maternal practice' and 'social parenthood'. Regarding the extensive material, this study understands itself as an explorative not concluding investigation placed at the intersections of gender studies, postcolonial and classical literary studies. Most of all, it aims at initiating a dialogue and interchange between scholars and students in the Western and the 'Third World'.
