Book excerpt: From the editors of Zen Poems of China and Japan comes the largest and most comprehensive collection of its kind to appear in English. This collaboration between a Japanese scholar and an American poet has rendered translations both precise and sublime, and their selections, which span fifteen hundred years—from the early T’ang dynasty to the present day—include many poems that have never before been translated into English. Stryk and Ikemoto offer us Zen poetry in all its diversity: Chinese poems of enlightenment and death, poems of the Japanese masters, many haiku—the quintessential Zen art—and an impressive selection of poems by Shinkichi Takahashi, Japan’s greatest contemporary Zen poet. With Zen Poetry, Lucien Stryk and Takashi Ikemoto have graced us with a compellingly beautiful collection, which in their translations is pure literary pleasure, illuminating the world vision to which these poems give permanent expression.

Download or read book Spring and All written by William Carlos Williams and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring and All (1923) is a book of poems by William Carlos Williams. Predominately known as a poet, Williams frequently pushed the limits of prose style throughout his works, often comprised of a seamless blend of both forms of writing. In Spring and All, the closest thing to a manifesto he wrote, Williams addresses the nature of his modern poetics which not only pursues a particularly American idiom, but attempts to capture the relationship between language and the world it describes. Part essay, part poem, Spring and All is a landmark of American literature from a poet whose daring search for the outer limits of life both redefined and expanded the meaning of language itself. “There is a constant barrier between the reader and his consciousness of immediate contact with the world. If there is an ocean it is here.” In Spring and All, Williams identifies the incomprehensible nature of consciousness as the single most important subject of poetry. Accused of being “heartless” and “cruel,” of producing “positively repellant” works of art in order to “make fun of humanity,” Williams doesn’t so much defend himself as dig in his heels. His poetry is addressed “[t]o the imagination” itself; it seeks to break down the “the barrier between sense and the vaporous fringe which distracts the attention from its agonized approaches to the moment.” When he states that “so much depends / upon // a red wheel / barrow,” he refers to the need to understand the nature of language, which keeps us in touch with the world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Carlos Williams’ Spring and All is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Love and Other Poems written by Alex Dimitrov and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

Download or read book Spring Essence written by Xuân Hương Hò̂ and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured on NPR's "Fresh Air" "Sometimes books really do change the world... This one will set in motion a project that may transform Vietnamese culture."--Utne Reader Ho Xuan Huong--whose name translates as "Spring Essence"--is one of the most important and popular poets in Vietnam. A concubine, she became renowned for her poetic skills, writing subtly risque poems which used double entendre and sexual innuendo as a vehicle for social, religious, and political commentary. The publication of Spring Essence is a major historical and cultural event. It features a "tri-graphic" presentation of English translations alongside both the modern Vietnamese alphabet and the nearly extinct calligraphic Nom writing system, the hand-drawn calligraphy in which Ho Xuan Huong originally wrote her poems. It represents the first time that this calligraphy--the carrier of Vietnamese culture for over a thousand years--will be printed using moveable type. From the technology demonstrated in this book scholars worldwide can begin to recover an important part of Vietnam's literary history. Meanwhile, readers of all interests will be fascinated by the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong, and the scholarship of John Balaban. "It's not every day that a poet gets to save a language, although some might argue that is precisely the point of poetry."-- Publishers Weekly "Move over, Sappho and Emily Dickinson."-- Providence Sunday Journal "In the simple landscape of daily objects-jackfruit, river snails, a loom, a chess set, and perhaps most famously a paper fan--Ho found metaphors for sex, which turned into trenchant indictments of the plight of women and the arrogance, hypocrisy and corruption of men... Balaban's deft translations are a beautiful and significant contribution to the West's growing awareness of Vietnam's splendid literary heritage."--The New York Times Book Review The translator, John Balaban, was twice a National Book Award finalist for his own poetry and is one of the preeminent American authorities on Vietnamese literature. During the war Balaban served as a conscientious objector, working to bring war-injured children better medical care. He later returned to Vietnam to record folk poetry. Like Alan Lomax's pioneering work in American music, Balaban was to first to record Vietnam's oral tradition. This important work led him to the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong. Ngo Than Nhan, a computational linguist from NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematics, has digitized the ancient Nom calligraphy.

Download or read book Spring Songs written by Poets Unite Worldwide and published by Poetry for the Four Seasons. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are an invitation to let go of the burdened self, and join our poets into the world of effervescent feelings. The perspective on Spring varies from one poem to another. Spring is intensively lived both as an individual experience, and also a collective one. Some poems focus on the harsh treatment people give the Earth, but the fact that Spring never fails to come back, chasing the long and cold winter away, reminds all human beings about the constancy of life and the ability of fulfilling its cyclical renewal. Feelings of relief and joy are abounding through the poems; clusters of snow melting here and there, the freshness of the air, the nature clad in velvet green, the bees and the animals, the birds' songs that animate the scenery, the scent of the flowers that blossom in this particular season, the sunshine that gently pats every life form. Life pulses through each pore. The balance between death and life is restored as the remnants of winter and its dark and gloomy days are replaced with a comforting light and an imperishable craving for cheerfulness, joie de vivre and optimism.In a poem, Spring is likened to a young, beautiful maiden who gracefully walks on the earth, dispersing the morose winter days, reinstalling happiness while nature comes back to life. In other poems, Spring is associated with the loved one, either present or projected in a fantasy world. The contemplation of Spring is regarded as an opportunity to assort the sentiments and the changes that take place in the outside world.Reading some of the poems, you can overcome the blurred line between reality and dreams..like a sudden, passionate dialogue between two lovers where the season becomes a reference point, being used in order to express one's love and tenderness; while others depict in vintage hues a story of longing, with an emphasis on the shattered heart and pleas for the lover's return that echo through the entire poem. There are also poems that remind the reader of one of the most beautiful and adventurous stages of life, namely the childhood. Other poems are focused on the role of words and language in recreating all these changes that occur in nature once this long awaited season is installed. Spring also becomes synonymous with tough life lessons, experienced in a Soviet gulag: a strong evocation of unyielding personal values such as dignity and strength to find hope in the most troubled times for an upcoming liberation.The poems that are included in this anthology are original, and each can be viewed as an ode or a tribute to one of the most spectacular seasons: the season of rebirth.
