Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Poets of Today It has been said that we are passing through a renaissance of poetry. No longer does the cartoonist of the popular comic or timely satire picture the long haired individual with his ream of spring verse be neath his arm, a moth-eaten object for the pity of sane beings. He's as obsolete as the Dodo, save per haps in the sacred and, thank God, limited circles of Greenwich Village, Island of Manhattan. Today the poet has come into his own. He receives a fair price for his lines and has forced the publisher out of his traditional rut with gasps of amazement that a book of verse could be listed as a best seller. From both artistic and commercial standpoints con temporary American poetry has achieved much. Sara Teasdale phrases it, Contemporary American poetry has proved that this chaotic, various, intensely young, masculine country of ours is producing the best poetry that is being written in English today. I think that this has been true for only a few years but I believe it is true at this time and will continue to be so. It is about these men and women, practical purveyors of a necessary food, that this book is written. Nowadays, instead of going abroad for many things, we look for them within our own borders. With Sara Teasdale, I agree that America today is produc ing poetry, some of it as fine as has been inspired by the World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Living Poets Such a book would not, of course, have been possible without the kindly co-operation of the poets cited, to each one of whom the Editor is greatly indebted, not only for permission to quote from his works but also for giving cam blanche in the matter of selection. Like indebtedness to the publishers of the various volumes from which the poems have been quoted is cordially acknowledged. The Editor is alone responsible for the selection of the different poems by which the various writers are repte sented. It is inevitable that a selection of the kind must in a measure represent the individual preference of the compiler, and he can only trust that his idiosyncrasies are not such as to make his collection anything but fairly representative according to the average taste of those who delight in all manifesta tions of the poetic Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Realm of Poetry: An Introduction But time has strangely belied the prophets, and every day that passes gives the lie to the practical man. For never have such streams of poetry come from Helicon's harmonious springs as have poured forth during the past ten years in Ireland, and the last four or five, let us say, in Great Britain. Life in both countries was raised to a higher tension, though by different causes, and there followed a great unsealing of the fountains of poetry. The poet sang no longer to a fascinated and adoring group of literati, but to a nation. This nation-wide interest has shown itself in unmistakable fashion by the mutual response of demand and output.

Download or read book Poets of America Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Edmund Clarence Stedman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poets of America, Vol. 1 EN years have passed since the completion of my critical survey of the poets and poetry of England from the beginning of the present reign. The scheme of the Victorian Poet: included, besides an extended review of acknowledged leaders, a concise analysis of groups forming the general choir of the period represented. The work thus became somewhat complete in scope, and doubtless has served as a critical handbook and means of reference. This incidental result, however, was quite subordinate to the author's main design; and I think that such a fact was evident not only to a professional class, but to all readers interested concerning the spirit and methods of poetry, especially of our English song. To that design I wish shortly to refer, as it is the chief motive of the present volume also. But first I would reproduce a statement made in the Preface to the former work, viz., that the author originally had under taken to write upon the poets of this country and the causes of their successes and failures; that on examina tion he had found modern and radical changes in the conditions afiecting ideal efiort, at home and abroad.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golden Leaves From the American Poets I may be permitted to add, without incurring the charge of undue egotism, I trust, that the prepara tion of this work has been to me literally a labour of love. It seemed to me a fitting tribute to render to those Poets whose works had entered so largely into my professional studies for the last thirty years, and between whom and the mere cur sory reader, and those ofa yet immature age, I had endeavoured faithfully to act as an interpreter, that I should, in the probably closing effort Of my literary career, present a worthy monument record ing the Genius of American Poesy, acceptable to the reading Public, and one that should do honour to the Poets I have selected for representation; and to these Gifted Men and Women I most re spectfully dedicate these my humble labours.

Download or read book Longfellow His Poetry Classic Reprint written by William Henry Oliphant Smeaton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Longfellow His Poetry This is to some extent recognised by writers of histories and text-books of literature, and by editors of selections from the works of our poets; for place is always given by them to a certain amount of biographical material. But in the histories and text books the biography of a given writer stands by itself, and his work has to be sought elsewhere, the student being left to make the connection for himself; while even in our current editions of selections there is little systematic attempt to link biography, step by step, with production. This brings us at once to the chief purpose of the present series. In this, biography and production will be considered together and in intimate association. In other words, an endeavour will be made to interest the reader in the lives and personalities of the poets dealt with, and at the same time to use biography as an introduction and key to their writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Modern Athens, or Who Is First?: A Poem With these remarks, by way of preface, we respectfully invite the reader to the banquet of amusement which is embodied in Our Modern Athens; or, Who is First? If encouraged in this little affair, we shall continue our efforts to assist in beating down those notions, peculiar to a certain class in this community, which, while innocent enough in themselves, Operate deleteriously on persons at large. We have in ms. A novel, with the same title as this verse, (although entirely independent of it) which would make up into a book of about 600 pp. 12mo. It covers the whole ground of snobbery, and displays in full the ideas of all classes of citizens. We have offered it to the publishers, and although they think it an original and capital thing, it is our misfortune to be a new author; and their policy is not to make authors, but to be made by them. Truly a cute notion. We subjoin a synopsis of our novel, and should be happy of any offers of publication from those who are de sirons of seeing the sham aristocracy of Boston cuffed most soundly, in a work full of incident and dramatic effect.
