Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is unpredictable. We are given no map at birth, and yet we wade through the adventure together, learning different things along the way while collecting experiences. Excerpts from an Abstract Mind is a poetry collection about the chance encounters, lessons learned, and ideologies acquired by author Ewana Hines as she plays witness from the sidelines of life. She tells stories about a frightening Ouija board and a caged lion that yearns to be free, but she also delves into philosophy and personal battles. For instance, there are times in this mad life when we must run and other times when we must stand and fight. Ewana enumerates the importance of trying while asking questions and then answering them. The book is a passionate tango between fervent beliefs and carnal flesh. At times, it dances past political correctness on its path toward the priceless treasure of love for self, the Lord, and our fellow human. This journey unfolds through the lenses of poetry and narrative storytelling. Come and see where the abstract mind will go.
Download or read book The Poet s Mind written by Gregory Tate and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poet's Mind is a major study of how Victorian poets thought and wrote about the human mind. It argues that Victorian poets, inheriting from their Romantic forerunners the belief that subjective thoughts and feelings were the most important materials for poetry, used their writing both to give expression to mental processes and to scrutinise and analyse those processes. In this volume Gregory Tate considers why and how psychological analysis became an increasingly important element of poetic theory and practice in the mid-nineteenth century, a time when the discipline of psychology was emerging alongside the growing recognition that the workings of the mind might be understood using the analytical methods of science. The writings of Victorian poets often show an awareness of this psychology, but, at the same time, the language and tone of their psychological verse, and especially their ambivalent use of terms such as 'brain', 'mind', and 'soul', voice an unresolved tension, felt throughout Victorian culture, between scientific theories of psychology and metaphysical or religious accounts of selfhood. The Poet's Mind considers the poetry of Browning, Tennyson, Arnold, Clough, and George Eliot, offering detailed readings of several major Victorian poems, and presenting new evidence of their authors' interest in contemporary psychological theory. Ranging across lyric verse, epic poetry, and the dramatic monologue, the book explores the ways in which poetry simultaneously drew on, resisted, and contributed to the spread of scientific theories of mind in Victorian Britain.

Download or read book Abstract Intersections written by Kedar Hardikar and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the intricate backdrop of mathematics, Abstract Intersections stages a radically new portrayal of human emotions in the theater of life. Forged from passionate life experiences and the arduous journey of experiential mathematical learning, these poems lie at an unexpected crossroads: one which challenges the notion of separation between the intellectual stimulus provided by mathematics and experiences provoking deeply felt emotions. Placing a "favorite color" on a different footing than a "favorite mathematical object" is a controversy rather than an accepted reality in these verses. With topics ranging from elementary mathematics to advanced concepts from abstract algebra, statistics, real and complex analysis, and topology, these poems delineate the powerful emotions evoked throughout the experiential learning of celebrated theorems and concepts in mathematics. Using the language of mathematics, these poems take the reader through a surprising range of emotions and provoke deep philosophical contemplation. With mathematical and emotional context provided by the author for each poem, this poetry book caters to a wide audience, from the average intellectually curious high schooler, to seasoned members of the scientific community. A unique literary experiment, cloaked in philosophical revelation and shaped by mathematical insights, Abstract Intersections provides a profoundly original alternative in facing the challenges of life and mathematics, one where each is mirrored in the other.

This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 15 weeks, I anticipated David’s lessons. His examples glided along the page. I compare it to skating or singing, performed by a star. Or a tapestry sewn with colourful threads of humanity, with a Wizard’s needle, and a crystal heart. Every line brings clarity. Yes, that’s how I feel. That’s how it should be said. Appearing so effortlessly, yet meant to be. Whether I’m joyful, angry, or lost in my grief. His poems are a nature walk in our mind. Stopping to appreciate the spider webs, and the daisies. Flip flop through the thistles and overgrown grass to reach the ocean. Whether a stroll or a run, I always come out refreshed and in awe! Brenda White, Kingston ON David writes on such a variety of subjects, sometimes funny, other times deep and compelling. His description of natural surroundings is vivid and real. I can always clearly envision what he is writing. The moods he portrays are so easily adapted to my emotions and experiences. I can tell David is passionate about his themes and he has a knack for coming up with the right words to tell a story or paint the perfect picture. I always look forward to one of his poems… it makes my day. Lynn Turney, Streetsville ON

Download or read book Wallace Stevens and the Aesthetics of Abstraction written by Edward Ragg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Ragg's study was the first to examine the role of abstraction throughout the work of Wallace Stevens. By tracing the poet's interest in abstraction from Harmonium through to his later works, Ragg argues that Stevens only fully appreciated and refined this interest within his later career. Ragg's detailed close-readings highlight the poet's absorption of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century painting, as well as the examples of philosophers and other poets' work. Wallace Stevens and the Aesthetics of Abstraction will appeal to those studying Stevens as well as anyone interested in the relations between poetry and painting. This valuable study embraces revealing philosophical and artistic perspectives, analyzing Stevens' place within and resistance to Modernist debates concerning literature, painting, representation and 'the imagination'.
