Download or read book Otters and Martens written by Colin Simms and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Simms is a freelance naturalist, poet and motorcycle enthusiast, who is based in a remote part of northern England. Amongst his partuclar fields of expertise as a naturalist is the mustelidae family - otters and martens, both European and North American. While doing scientific field work, Colin Simms also writes poems about the animals he studies - poems that owe much to the example of Basil Bunting and the Pound tradition, and have a wonderfully gnarled music about them. This volume collects almost 150 of his poems about otters and martens, drawn from his entire writing career. Although he has published widely in magazines and with small presess for more than 30 years this is Simms' first full-scale book to be made available through the trade. It will delight animal-lovers and poetry-lovers alike.

Download or read book The American Poems written by Colin Simms and published by Shearsman Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Simms, poet, naturalist, and lifelong independent observer, was born in 1939, and lives as an author and freelance naturalist in the North of England, with journeys throughout the northern hemisphere, wherever his objectives live: his homes have been where the martens, otters, birds of prey and other enthusiasms are. He is not an orthodox conservationist, but insists on the privacy, 'isness', for wildlife which modern trends deny. He also demonstrates the poet-naturalist's concern for precise observation, apposite language and cadence. North American wildlife and the Native American tribes, and their history, have been a life-long fascination of his; this volume brings together all of his long poems, and a large number of shorter poems on these themes.

Download or read book NEWBORN and other poems written by Hazel Cope and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So here’s a simple wakeful dream: That words will come into my head Pass through my fingers Dance on the page Have grace and rhythm Make sense and reason And when someone reads them, make her think, “Ah yes, that’s how it is.” These lines, from “Dream a Poem,” sum up Hazel Cope’s approach to expressing life in verse. By turns joyfully playful and quietly meditative, her book, NEWBORN and Other Poems, reflects the endless variety, complexity, challenges, and glory of an eventful life lived long in the company of a wonderful family and friends. There is something for every poetry afficionado in this collection, which plays with many different forms and styles. Themes range from life and death to the world around us and the art of writing poetry itself. Whimsical drawings and beautiful photographs taken by Cope’s husband, Alan, add vibrance to the pages. Representing the culmination of twenty years’ writing, Newborn is eclectic in its format and themes, but Cope weaves it all into cohesion with her distinctive narrative voice. Her insights, both sombre and sweet, will leave a lasting impression, and her wry observations will resonate with every reader.
