Download or read book Homes written by Moheb Soliman and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior: HOMES. Moheb Soliman traces the coasts of the Great Lakes region with poems, exploring the nature of belonging in relation to land and the formation of identity along borders. Moheb Soliman's HOMES maps the shoreline of the Great Lakes from the rocky cliffs of Duluth, Minnesota, to the spray of Niagara Falls and back again. This poetic travelogue offers an intimate perspective on an immigrant experience as Soliman drives his Corolla past exquisite vistas and abandoned mines, through tourist towns and midwestern suburbs, searching for a place to claim as home. Against the backdrop of environmental destruction and a history of colonial oppression, the vitality of Soliman's language brings a bold ecopoetic lens to bear on the relationship between transience and belonging in the world's largest, most porous borderland.

Download or read book Many Storied House written by George Ella Lyon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the small, eastern Kentucky coal-mining town of Harlan, George Ella Lyon began her career with Mountain, a chapbook of poems. She has since published many more books in multiple genres and for readers of all ages, but poetry remains at the heart of her work. Many-Storied House is her fifth collection. While teaching aspiring writers, Lyon asked her students to write a poem based on memories rooted in a house where they had lived. Working on the assignment herself, Lyon began a personal journey, writing many poems for each room. In this intimate book, she strives to answer lingering questions about herself and her family: "Here I stand, at the beginning," she writes in the opening lines of the volume, "with more questions than / answers." Collectively, the poems tell the sixty-eight-year-long story of the house, beginning with its construction by Lyon's grandfather and culminating with the poet's memories of bidding farewell to it after her mother's death. Moving, provocative, and heartfelt, Lyon's poetic excavations evoke more than just stock and stone; they explore the nature of memory and relationships, as well as the innermost architecture of love, family, and community. A poignant memoir in poems, Many-Storied House is a personal and revealing addition to George Ella Lyon's body of work.
Download or read book Remnants written by William Ogden Haynes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post card of a little girl on the cover of this book may be all that remains of a trip to France at the turn of the century, a remnant of someone's life and travels. The concept of "remnant" is an interesting one. We can think of remnants as what is left over from a larger entity, as in scraps of wood from building a dog house or pieces of cloth cut from around a sewing pattern. Thus, remnants are "parts" left from making a "whole." In many cases, remnants are discarded, but it is also true that parts can be assembled to make a whole once again as in scraps of cloth sewn together to construct a quilt. All our lives we deal with remnants in some form or another. For instance, memories are remnants of childhood, vacations and past relationships. Photographs are also reminiscent of many stages of our lives. Some consider objects such as toys, clothing, furniture and souvenirs as remnants of a time gone by. When you think about it, after an event occurs, all we have left are memories, feelings, objects and photographs. These are remnants of a larger whole that may no longer exist, but what remains helps us to at least partially reconstruct it. The poetry in this book represents slices of many lives that could be considered remnants, little snips that might fall to the floor unnoticed except for those of us who use them as the subjects of our narratives. The poems concern simple events such as going to the mailbox, walking through an empty home, examining items donated to a thrift store, winding a clock, finding a dead relative's watch or going to the grocery store. The characters range from a homeless man in a large city to a Native American woman in Colorado to a Saint who lived in the year 850 AD. There are college professors, crazy people and a woman who is dead, but still conscious. It is my hope that by examining these remnants the reader will be able to mentally reconstruct the more detailed and rich events that they represent.

Download or read book The Chance of Home written by Mark S. Burrows and published by Paraclete Poetry. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chance of Home Somewhere there must be where no one wonders whether you belong... So begins the title poem of this remarkable collection from a popular poet and scholar of mysticism. These poems remind us that "home" shapes us, not as a particular place; home is a way of being in this world, for us and for the creatures with whom we share it. It finds expression in the inner light that carries us through dark seasons and in what inspires us to risk life in the face of death. Home comes to us in the unexpected glimpses we sometimes have of a wholeness resonant enough to hold us amid fragments. Many of these poems come from a long looking at the familiar and the ordinary, a patient listening for traces of a beauty that might still save us--in the rhythms of a street musician plying his trade in a Lisbon subway, the radiance of birdsong interrupting the night's last hour, and the tolling of an old temple bell that "still sings in the silences." They ponder the resilience that lies at the heart of the natural world, as well as in our desire to thrive amid the distractions that pressure us in our lives. In an over-saturated age like ours, they invite us to linger at the edges of silence, and wonder what it means that we are not made for reason alone, but "for what song can bring of solace and delight."

Download or read book When the Wanderers Come Home written by Patricia Jabbeh Wesley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by African scholar and literary critic Chielozona Eze as “one of the most prolific African poets of the twenty-first century,” Patricia Jabbeh Wesley composed When the Wanderers Come Home during a four-month visit to her homeland of Liberia in 2013. She gives powerful voice to the pain and inner turmoil of a homeland still reconciling itself in the aftermath of multiple wars and destruction. Wesley, a native Liberian, calls on deeply rooted African motifs and proverbs, utilizing the poetics of both the West and Africa to convey her grief. Autobiographical in nature, the poems highlight the hardships of a diaspora African and the devastation of a country and continent struggling to recover. When the Wanderers Come Home is a woman’s story about being an exile, a survivor, and an outsider in her own country; it is her cry for the Africa that is being lost in wars across the continent, creating more wanderers and world citizens.
