Download or read book Poetry and Animals written by Onno Oerlemans and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do poets write about animals? What can poetry do for animals and what can animals do for poetry? In some cases, poetry inscribes meaning on animals, turning them into symbols or caricatures and bringing them into the confines of human culture. It also reveals and revels in the complexity of animals. Poetry, through its great variety and its inherently experimental nature, has embraced the multifaceted nature of animals to cross, blur, and reimagine the boundaries between human and animal. In Poetry and Animals, Onno Oerlemans explores a broad range of English-language poetry about animals from the Middle Ages to the contemporary world. He presents a taxonomy of kinds of animal poems, breaking down the categories and binary oppositions at the root of human thinking about animals. The book considers several different types of poetry: allegorical poems, poems about “the animal” broadly conceived, poems about species of animal, poems about individual animals or the animal as individual, and poems about hybrids and hybridity. Through careful readings of dozens of poems that reveal generous and often sympathetic approaches to recognizing and valuing animals’ difference and similarity, Oerlemans demonstrates how the forms and modes of poetry can sensitize us to the moral standing of animals and give us new ways to think through the problems of the human-animal divide.

Download or read book Animal Poems of the Iguazu Animalario Del Iguazu written by Francisco Alarcón and published by Turtleback. This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: let's listen to / the green voice / of the rainforest The animals of the Iguazú speak for themselves, creating a collection of poems that will resonate with readers of all ages. In the magical rainforest of the Iguazú National Park, butterflies are the multicolored flowers of the air. Great dusky swifts watch over the park, and the untamed spirits of jaguars roam the jungle. Spanning three countries--Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay--the thundering waterfalls and lush green rainforests of the Iguazú have dazzled visitors for centuries, and are now in danger of being lost. Following the Amerindian oral tradition, award-winning Chicano poet Francisco X. Alarcón lets the animals of the Iguazú speak for themselves in their own soaring, roaring, fluttering voices, and the resulting poems are as urgent as they are beautiful and humorous. Maya Christina Gonzalez's mixed media illustrations bring the colors and textures of the Iguazú rainforest to vibrant life.

Download or read book It s a Jungle Out There Animal Poems for Adult Children written by Larry Burgdorf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book had its beginnings at an altitude of about 35,000 feet. The Author served for thirty-five years in the ministry, following which he became Director of a charitable foundation with interests in many parts of the world. As such, he spent a lot of time in airplanes. He discovered that writing light poetry was a challenging and enjoyable way to use the time spent in the air. The initial impetus for poems having to do with animals came from a grandchild who wanted a poem about a hippopotamus. When the author discovered that there were not many readily available on demand, he simply wrote one. The poems in this little volume are mostly whimsical, occasionally offering a homey moral for the reader to take or leave as he sees fit.

Download or read book Selected Poems written by Seán Ó Ríordáin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first bilingual volume of poems by leading Irish twentieth-century poet Seán Ó Ríordáin In the mid-twentieth century, a new generation of poets writing in Irish emerged, led by the young Seán Ó Ríordáin, among others. Ó Ríordáin's work has stood the test of time well, and he continues to engage today's Irish readers and writers. This well-rounded selection of poems brings most of Ó Ríordáin's works to English-language readers for the first time. The poems appear in their original Irish alongside English translations by some of Ireland's leading poets. Also included for the first time in English is Ó Ríordáin's essay What Is Poetry?, considered an extraordinary touchstone of critical insight for poets and literary commentators. The volume reflects Ó Ríordáin's seven main concerns: poetry and its place in the artist's life; the plural self; the relationship between the individual and society; gender relations; the nature of animals; Ireland, its language and culture; and mortality.
Download or read book Poetic Animals and Animal Souls written by R. Malamud and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new paradigm for reading and appreciating animals in literature and addresses how human culture views animals in poetry. Part one sets up a theoretical overview and posits some aesthetic and ethical ideals for transposing animals into art, while part two presents a more focused practical application of these ideals in one strain of animal poetry (as seen in the works of Marianne Moore, José Emilio Pacheco, Gary Snyder, Pattiann Rogers and others). The poetry analyzed in the book is respectfully and non-invasively insightful into animals; it is tinged with a distancing, and a kind of spiritual awe, regarding their existence.
Download or read book Reading Literary Animals written by Karen L. Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Literary Animals explores the status and representation of animals in literature from the Middle Ages to the present day. Essays by leading scholars in the field examine various figurative, agential, imaginative, ethical, and affective aspects of literary encounters with animality, showing how practices of close reading provoke new ways of thinking about animals and the texts in which they appear. Through investigations of works by Shakespeare, Aphra Behn, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, and Ted Hughes, among many others, Reading Literary Animals demonstrates the value of distinctively literary animal studies.
