Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautiful collection of poems and paintings, Billy Collins, former U.S. poet laureate, joins with David Allen Sibley, America's foremost bird illustrator, to celebrate the winged creatures that have inspired so many poets to sing for centuries. From Catullus and Chaucer to Robert Browning and James Wright, poets have long treated birds as powerful metaphors for beauty, escape, transcendence, and divine expression. Here, in this substantial anthology, more than one hundred contemporary and classic poems are paired with close to sixty original, ornithologically precise illustrations. Part poetry collection, part field guide, part art book, Bright Wings presents verbal and visual interpretations of the natural world and reminds us of our intimate connection to the "bright wings" around us. Each in their own way, these poems and pictures honor the enchanting creatures that have been, and continue to be, longtime collaborators with the poet's and painter's art. Poet and bird pairings include: Wallace Stevens and the Blackbird; Emily Dickinson and the Robin; Marianne Moore and the Frigate Pelican; Thomas Hardy and the Goldfinch; Sylvia Plath and the Pheasant; John Updike and the Seagull; Walt Whitman and the Eagle; Billy Collins and the Sparrow.

Download or read book When Wings Become Sound written by Bunny McBride and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This almanac - a collection of haiku and full-color pictures penned and photographed in Maine - tracks the weather, along with observations and insights that bring meaning to every day of the year. It serves as a perpetual calendar and daily devotional. Wide margins make it usable as a birthday calendar, a place to jot down brief musings or even as a concise day planner/agenda.The almanac grew out of a decision to venture outside daily for a full year to photograph whatever most seized my attention and to reflect upon it through haiku, a form of poetry that originated in Japan in the 1600s. I vowed to do this in every sort of weather - no matter how cold, hot, wet or windy it might be. The poems and images came into focus during kayak or canoe outings in tidal waters and hikes through forests, fields and shorelands on and just beyond the small peninsula where I live. No fancy equipment - just my iPhone8 and a desire to inhabit nature and drink in what she had to say every day for an entire year. Soon after I began these daily pilgrimages, covid-19 upended the world and urged many of my haiku toward prayer -- yearnings, affirmations, devotions and moments of sacred seeing and holy humor set within a classic format of seventeen syllables in lines of 5-7-5. I fell in love with the brevity of haiku, with the demand to distill meaningful observations and insights into a small handful of words. And I relished formatting my camera on square to record in one small photograph whatever most moved me on a particular day.Working within the confines of these structures forced me to see and think in new ways. It grew my species vocabulary, even as it shrank my word count. It pushed me to reach deep when I couldn't go wide. It diminished distraction and fostered focus. Perhaps more than anything, it gave me a sense of being utterly present within a greater Presence. With each haiku I experienced a kind of reorientation of being, as if the center were shifting from myself or whatever I was observing to the Life force that connects everything and everyone.I offer it to readers in the hope that it inspires you to go haiku gathering wherever you abide, be it on the edge of wilderness, in the countryside, suburbia or among city pigeons and sparrows.

Download or read book On Haiku written by Hiroaki Sato and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you want to know about haiku written by one of the foremost experts in the field and the “finest translator of contemporary Japanese poetry into American English” (Gary Snyder) Who doesn’t love haiku? It is not only America’s most popular cultural import from Japan but also our most popular poetic form: instantly recognizable, more mobile than a sonnet, loved for its simplicity and compression, as well as its ease of composition. Haiku is an ancient literary form seemingly made for the Twittersphere—Jack Kerouac and Langston Hughes wrote them, Ezra Pound and the Imagists were inspired by them, Hallmark’s made millions off them, first-grade students across the country still learn to write them. But what really is a haiku? Where does the form originate? Who were the original Japanese poets who wrote them? And how has their work been translated into English over the years? The haiku form comes down to us today as a cliché: a three-line poem of 5-7-5 syllables. And yet its story is actually much more colorful and multifaceted. And of course to write a good one can be as difficult as writing a Homeric epic—or it can materialize in an instant of epic inspiration. In On Haiku, Hiroaki Sato explores the many styles and genres of haiku on both sides of the Pacific, from the classical haiku of Basho, Issa, and Zen monks, to modern haiku about swimsuits and atomic bombs, to the haiku of famous American writers such as J. D. Salinger and Allen Ginsburg. As if conversing over beers in your favorite pub, Sato explains everything you wanted to know about the haiku in this endearing and pleasurable book, destined to be a classic in the field.
