Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacques Pierre louvri kè l de batan nan Kite kè m pale pou l envite nou viv kouman entimite ak pwoblèm sosyal pran randevou nan menm kalfou. Powèt la fotografye difikilte ak kouran santiman ki travèse lavi medam yo. Epi, li wete chapo li byen ba pou li salye kouraj Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, ak lòt lidè ki pa te pè batay pou yon minorite ki pran nan cho, e yo mete nan kacho souvan poutèt po yo. Pou fini, li envite nou viv de twa powèm nan langaj jagon ak bolit, epi yon katafal lòt ki fè yonn ak pafen lawouze nou jwenn nan bèl lang nou an. Rekèy powèm sa a se yon envitasyon otè a fè nou tout pou nou dekouvri bèlte lang nou an. Nan chak grenn mo, otè a plonje kè nou nan lanmè Karayib la, kote vag yo fè nanm nou tonbe nan yon ale vini jouk kouran lanmou an rale nou pou nou fè yonn ak powèm yo. -Wedsly Turenne Guerrier Lang nou ak kilti nou se rezilta kreyativite nou ki pran nanm nan lavi chak kretyen vivan. Se sa potorik otè Jacques Pierre fè nan rekèy sa a. Pierre marinen lang nou ak kilti nou ansanm pou ofri nou yon konsonmen kreyativite ki se temwayaj richès kiltirèl ak lengwistik Ayiti cheri nou an. -Marky Jean-Pierre

Download or read book Red Kite Blue Sky written by Madeleine May Kunin and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Kite, Blue Sky, the debut poetry collection from Madeleine May Kunin, celebrates life and the natural world, occasioned by the birth of grand-children, the memories of friendship and past birthdays/Bar Mitzvahs, a gift of plum-colored gloves from the poet's daughter, the Sicilian sun which "melts my argument against myself," with sharp observations and humor. Like Emily Dickinson before her, Kunin does not shy away from death; rather she embraces the anticipation "before death drags me deep," the gap in her life when her beloved husband dies, the fear of immigration to America during World War II with "an H for Hebrew, I found out later," and the sadness of being isolated as an older woman living alone during the pandemic. For years Kunin was caught in the tempo of politics -- as governor, as a federal official, and as an ambassador -- but as she eased into retirement from public life, she found a door that opened for her to explore the multi-layered language of poetry.

Download or read book Advice from the Lights written by Stephanie Burt and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The brightest and most inviting of Burt’s collections for readers of any, all, and no genders.”—Boston Review Advice from the Lights is a brilliant and candid exploration of gender and identity and a series of looks at a formative past. It’s part nostalgia, part confusion, and part an ongoing wondering: How do any of us achieve adulthood? And why would we want to, if we had the choice? This collection is woven from and interrupted by extraordinary sequences, including Stephanie poems about Stephen’s female self; poems on particular years of the poet’s early life, each with its own memories, desires, insecurities, and pop songs; and versions of poems by the Greek poet Callimachus, whose present-day incarnation worries (who doesn’t?) about mortality, the favor of the gods, and the career of Taylor Swift. The collection also includes poems on politics, location, and parenthood. Taken all together, this is Stephen Burt’s most personal and most accomplished collection, an essential work that asks who we are, how we become ourselves, and why we make art.
Download or read book The Kite Fighters written by Linda Sue Park and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tale of two brothers in fifteenth-century Korea from theNewbery Medal winner and #1 New York Times–bestselling author of A Long Walk to Water. In this riveting novel, two brothers discover a shared passion for kites. Kee-sup can craft a kite unequaled in strength and beauty, but his younger brother, Young-sup, can fly a kite as if he controlled the wind itself. It’s like the kite is part of him—the part that wants to fly. Their combined skills attract the notice of Korea’s young king, who chooses Young-sup to fly the royal kite in the New Year kite-flying competition—an honor that is also an awesome responsibility. Although tradition decrees, and the boys’ father insists, that the older brother represent the family, both brothers know that this time the family’s honor is best left in Young-sup’s hands. But how do you stand up to the way things have always been? This touching and suspenseful historical novel from the author of A Single Shard, filled with the authentic detail and flavor of traditional Korean kite fighting, brings a remarkable setting vividly to life. “The final contest . . . is riveting. Though the story is set in medieval times, the brothers have many of the same issues facing siblings today.” —School Library Journal (starred review) “Readers will enjoy watching these engaging characters find ways of overcoming webs of social and cultural constraints to achieve a common goal, and the author expresses the pleasures of creating and flying kites—‘A few sticks, a little paper, some string. And the wind. Kite magic’—with contagious enthusiasm.” —Kirkus Reviews
