Download or read book The Wilds of Poetry written by David Hinton and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the emerging Western consciousness of how deeply we belong to the wild Cosmos, as seen through the lineage of modern America's great avant-garde poets --a thrilling journey with today's premier translator of the Chinese classics. Henry David Thoreau, in The Maine Woods, describes a moment on Mount Ktaadin when all explanations and assumptions fell away for him and he was confronted with the wonderful, inexplicable thusness of things. David Hinton takes that moment as the starting point for his account of a rewilding of consciousness in the West: a dawning awareness of our essential oneness with the world around us. Because there was no Western vocabulary for this perception, it fell to poets to make the first efforts at articulation, and those efforts were largely driven by Taoist and Ch’an (Zen) Buddhist ideas imported from ancient China. Hinton chronicles this rewilding through the lineage of avant-garde poetry in twentieth-century America—from Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound and Robinson Jeffers to Gary Snyder, W. S. Merwin, and beyond—including generous selections of poems that together form a compelling anthology of ecopoetry. In his much-admired translations, Hinton has re-created ancient Chinese rivers-and-mountains poetry as modern American poetry; here, he reenvisions modern American poetry as an extension of that ancient Chinese tradition: an ecopoetry that weaves consciousness into the Cosmos in radical and fundamental ways.

"To watch this kinetic portrait of sass and blood and fire and gentle weeping is to wonder if an eggshell shaved translucent could be more fragile then her soul."

Simply wonderful." Wanda Coleman

Download or read book Adventures in Poetry written by Mary L. Kienholz and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-07-14 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. Kienholz is one of the Northwest’s most versatile poets. Amy Woodward Fisher, former chairman of Washington State’s Poetry Day, described Kienholz’ style as incorporating “rhythm and imagery;” however, her poetry has an even broader definition. Her historical poetry ranges like a world traveler through human pathos, achievement, and brutality. Here, she addresses experiences of Native Americans, Chinese, and Japanese in the West, presents incisive descriptions of Northwest personalities and biographical sketches of more than thirty New World explorers. Her children’s poetry can be enjoyed equally by parents and children. She gives her animals personalities and dramatizes their worlds. Kienholz’ love poetry covers all the convolutions of the mating game. Much humor is evident in her serious poems, as well as in her “doggerel and other stuff.” Kienholz’ skillful use of poetic devices provides teachers with tools to explain poetry to students. Her poetry has won honors in many competitions as listed in the Appendix.
