Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems Written Abroad is the first publication of the earliest collection of poetry by the famous poet, novelist, literary critic, translator, and radical, Sir Stephen Spender (1909-1995). Spender wrote and compiled this manuscript in 1927, when he was living in Nantes and Lausanne. In tone and diction, Spender's poems range from creatively traditional to unexpectedly innovative. They reflect his reading in Shakespeare and French poetry, as well as his absorption in music and modern art. They also document his struggles with his sexual identity and his emerging desire to devote his life, at whatever cost, to the writing of poetry. This beautiful facsimile edition, authorized by the Spender estate, faithfully reproduces the features of the original manuscript now held by the Lilly Library, including the frontispiece, an ink drawing by Spender himself, and little-known photographs of the poet. The editor's extensive introduction and detailed explanatory notes situate Spender's juvenilia in the context of his life and work and the history of modern poetry. The volume will appeal to readers with interests in modern poetry, gender studies, and fine books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hic Et ILLIC: Poems Written at Home and Abroad I wish that I could convey to my readers some small part of the very keen pleasure that I have had in feeling and writing these poems, most of them composed in the open air, immediately under the influence of places or situations that they attempt to describe or suggest. Indeed, my joy has been so selfish, that the making, and the occasional reading aloud, have been more than an ample reward of my pleasant work. It is only the urgency of my family and of some kind friends that has induced me to publish again, after a silence of eighteen years. But old age is creeping on, and the thing, if advisable, has to be done at once, or perhaps not at all. My faults I know very well, and that I have here included verses of very unequal merit, and of only personal interest; but for this my little circle of friendly readers and critics may render pardon, and, in some cases, even thanks. Of course some of my verses have been written for reasons which are not on the surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Travel Is a State of Mind written by Brad Fairchild and published by . This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Travel is a State of Mind, by Brad Fairchild and Larry Corse, is an exuberant, poignant, and often powerful volume of poems and photographs. Inspired by a month touring in Europe with friends, the poems bring to life moments of 1000 years of history and the ever-ephemeral present. In small miracles of image, they capture incidents from the lives of the painters-Pieter Breughel, Egon Schiele-as well as glimpses like "your head bobbing on the crowd like Marie Antoinette's," or a stained glass portrait of a medieval monarch "barking commands through painted glass lips-wide-eyed and grimy." Many of these "portraits" go deftly beneath the surface of the art and monuments the writers visit-Empress Maria-Teresa of Austria suspended live in her coffin, the self-consciousness of a boy being painted nude by Anton Kolig, furtive lovers having coitus on a bicycle on a bridge at night in Amsterdam. But also, the poems show us the ever-disappearing surface, with its luminous, mundane mystery-a ripped settee cushion at the Hotel Jeanne d'Arc, an old man in Munich dragging a mattress upstairs. The photos and cover art by Christopher McCarra give an unusually strong enhancement to the poems. The overall effect of the book is arresting-a surprising and powerfully felt sense of the richness of life, its perpetual mingling of past and present-lovely, baffling, stern and uncompromising." -Linda Taylor, poet "Corse and Fairchild have successfully created a lively narrative that is at once colorful, suggestive and incredibly engaging. They offer us a collection of transient moments in time, masterfully woven together in a charming and remarkably intimate lyrical tapestry. A truly delightful read that not only captures the allure and romance of the journey, but also offers a brilliant insight into the consciousness of the traveler." - Oliver Self "Fairchild and Corse send gilded greetings from some of Europe's most dazzling cities. Their poems are the interiors of picture postcards often mirroring each other. They take us beneath the senses to those jeweled chambers where we feel what we see. For anyone who has ever been seduced by Old World charms these poems will carry you back like a beloved souvenir." - Franklin Abbott, author of Mortal Love: Selected Poems and editor of Boyhood: Growing Up Male.
Download or read book Reverberations Abroad written by Chimdi Maduagwu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a total of nine contributors to this Anthology. All are immigrants from Africa to America, except two people; Cyril Obi and Chinwe Azubike, who live and work in Europe. The collection thus is a reflection of sundry temperaments in poetic art. Non of the writers is indeed writing for the first time. They have all had poems and other forms of writings published in some form of media. However, non also has as yet become towering. Their poems are rich in personal and collective experiences and artistic devices. While some are urbane, some still exhume the rural qualities of African life and yet others achieve a blend of both the urban and the rural. In all, the poems are interesting and the annotations make an understanding of the collection a lot easier.

Download or read book Words for War written by Oksana Maksymchuk and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The armed conflict in the east of Ukraine brought about an emergence of a distinctive trend in contemporary Ukrainian poetry: the poetry of war. Directly and indirectly, the poems collected in this volume engage with the events and experiences of war, reflecting on the themes of alienation, loss, dislocation, and disability; as well as justice, heroism, courage, resilience, generosity, and forgiveness. In addressing these themes, the poems also raise questions about art, politics, citizenship, and moral responsibility. The anthology brings together some of the most compelling poetic voices from different regions of Ukraine. Young and old, female and male, somber and ironic, tragic and playful, filled with extraordinary terror and ordinary human delights, the voices recreate the human sounds of war in its tragic complexity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Engine in Flight is a collection of 60 poems written over a period of a year endeavoring towards unity consciousness and embracing oneself as a divine being. The poet’s fundamental belief that humans are born to share, to relate and grow collectively, lead her to expressing herself in the form of this poetry book. The poems shed light into the power of self-liberation, self-evaluation and self-resurrection, and the coming of alignment to one’s true purpose of life. This book is her celebration of life, the chance to live through all its brightest and darkest days, her lucid dreams while awake and asleep, and the universe through her lens.
