Download or read book Ambition written by Juanita Alexandria Davis and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author’s third book of poetry offers “quick reads.” “I keep them short, because I want potential readers to crave more,” states Juanita Alexandria Davis. “This is the first time I have ever had any illustrations. Fourteen of the poems are color illustrated with my suggestions. “There are serious, thought-provoking, as well as light poems. I started with a couple of serious poems, and ended on a lighter note. I dealt with ‘skeletons’ in our closet, having the birds and the bees talks with your children, and accepting people that are different from us.” A poem from Ambition: The Aspiring Poet’s Edition: White Hair When I finally go all gray, my hair color will stay that way A silver vixen, whose jet black hair I won’t be missing No one will have to point out to me that I look like an old lady My white hair will be displayed like my badge of honor In all my grace and maturity people will refer to me as “mama” Look at all the ones not fortunate enough to be as old as me Remember Joplin, Hendrix, Winehouse, Aaliyah, and Jim Croce Not rushing my black or salt and pepper years to disappear Of course heard of a wig, and am familiar with hair dye Give me frost, bring on the snow, I’ve aged, survived, I’m alive!

Download or read book Future Poets written by Rod Martin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future Poets has One Hundred and One Poetry Challenges, Lesson plans, Poetic Devices explained, as well as Copyright-Free poems for speech presentations. It can be a stand alone poetry unit and is great for substitute teachers and last-minute lessons. This book is for all my fellow teachers who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Kids often just need something interesting and challenging to write about: that is how this book can help. Poetry, with its conciseness, emotion, and lack of punctuation, is a great way to begin each school year and ease the kids into other forms of writing. Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it. And its personal; it comes from the students experiences and emotions. Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There is also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page. The emphasis in this book is students as poets. Its not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. Its about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime. It is my hope that this book will help your students come to a better understanding of poetry and eventually feel confident in their ability to write poems.

Download or read book Citizen Illegal written by José Olivarez and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Olivarez steps into the ‘inbetween’ standing between Mexico and America in these compelling, emotional poems. Written with humor and sincerity” (Newsweek). Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek and NPR. In this “devastating debut” (Publishers Weekly), poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in, with a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch. “The son of Mexican immigrants, Olivarez celebrates his Mexican-American identity and examines how those two sides conflict in a striking collection of poems.” —USA Today

Download or read book Poetry For Dummies written by The Poetry Center and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demystify and appreciate the pleasures of poetry Sometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as “the best words in the best order.” St. Augustine called it “the Devil’s wine.” For Shelley, poetry was “the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.” But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. That’s because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain — to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to a scalpel’s edge. Poetry For Dummies is a great guide to reading and writing poems, not only for beginners, but for anyone interested in verse. From Homer to Basho, Chaucer to Rumi, Shelley to Ginsberg, it introduces you to poetry’s greatest practitioners. It arms you with the tools you need to understand and appreciate poetry in all its forms, and to explore your own talent as a poet. Discover how to: Understand poetic language and forms Interpret poems Get a handle on poetry through the ages Find poetry readings near you Write your own poems Shop your work around to publishers Don’t know the difference between an iamb and a trochee? Worry not, this friendly guide demystifies the jargon, and it covers a lot more ground besides, including: Understanding subject, tone, narrative; and poetic language Mastering the three steps to interpretation Facing the challenges of older poetry Exploring 5,000 years of verse, from Mesopotamia to the global village Writing open-form poetry Working with traditional forms of verse Writing exercises for aspiring poets Getting published From Sappho to Clark Coolidge, and just about everyone in between, Poetry For Dummies puts you in touch with the greats of modern and ancient poetry. Need guidance on composing a ghazal, a tanka, a sestina, or a psalm? This is the book for you.
