Download or read book The Harry Poems A Cycle of Poems written by Michael L. Newell and published by Cyberwit.Net. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Michael Newell's Harry poems is something special and long overdue. It is a life-long project that, poem by poem, builds up a complex and distinct persona who endures life's trials and undergoes all sorts of moods. Newell expresses Harry's unique and trenchant sensibility in verses of many forms, in the precise and condensed diction of poetry. Taken together, they achieve the scope of a novel. Harry's sadness is more than cheerless, his bitterness beyond biting, his joy the more jubilant for being hard-won and rare. The collection offers an advanced course in the awareness of the self and the world, lessons in consciousness that are sometimes harsh but unfailingly human and humane.

Download or read book Rough Breathing written by Harry Gilonis and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over three decades Harry Gilonis's poetry has milled cheerfully in the literary avant-garde: Rough Breathing is the first substantial gathering of his poems. Most previously appeared in small-press publications or little magazines on both sides of the Atlantic; some are published here for the first time. Gilonis's work has a light, lucid beauty underpinned by formal and procedural invention, with lyrics written from love and landscape as well as poems made from the innards of language. There is collaged bird-song, experimental versioning from the ancient Chinese and text written by a 'bot'. Borders between 'original' and 'translation' are straddled, or blurred, in intriguing and innovative ways. Objectivist after the fact, party without nostalgia to the British Poetry Revival, cognisant of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, Gilonis's poems are aware of their shape on the page and the sound they make as they go past the ear. They insist on being themselves as fully and openly as possible. The versatility and range of Rough Breathing, its use of processes, transparent or opaque, make it - besides being a fine collection - a radical pattern-book to challenge teachers and students alike. An Introduction by Philip Terry offers biographical and critical context. 'What becomes increasingly clear as one reads,' Terry writes, 'is that this is a body of work of the highest ambition, and highest order.'

Download or read book Who Wrote That written by Donald Ostrowski and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Wrote That? examines nine authorship controversies, providing an introduction to particular disputes and teaching students how to assess historical documents, archival materials, and apocryphal stories, as well as internet sources and news. Donald Ostrowski does not argue in favor of one side over another but focuses on the principles of attribution used to make each case. While furthering the field of authorship studies, Who Wrote That? provides an essential resource for instructors at all levels in various subjects. It is ultimately about historical detective work. Using Moses, Analects, the Secret Gospel of Mark, Abelard and Heloise, the Compendium of Chronicles, Rashid al-Din, Shakespeare, Prince Andrei Kurbskii, James MacPherson, and Mikhail Sholokov, Ostrowski builds concrete examples that instructors can use to help students uncover the legitimacy of authorship and to spark the desire to turn over the hidden layers of history so necessary to the craft.

Entering into the exclusive world of children I recognized the wisdom hidden behind them, They are admirable humorous and arouse our admiration. While going through these poems the thought that struck me was that these poems are not only for enjoyment, but contain the art of living. Each poemteaches life’s understanding. Modern children have psychological problems.,the stress they undergo in their education both school and college due to the compulsion of the parents to get first rank and from their peers and the thrust put on them to become master in every aspect have all resulted in their violent behaviour are some of the aspects covered in the poems on ancient wisdom which are relevant for today’s circumstances was a great revelation to me. My daughter,being a young mother always shares the problems of her daughter’s upbringing. Taking cue from these poems I always tender my advice to her and I feel that this information should be shared to other mothers also who can benefit for the upbringing of their children.. Cultural degradation and forgotton traditional values are the causes for the bane in the Indian society which can be corrected through absorbing the finer points outlined in these poems. We have absorbed the lifestyle of our elders. But somewhere, we failed to impart the same tour children and insist on them to lead lives as the elders did, Hence this generation is at crossroads, more confused than ever. By reading the entire volume of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s poems a clarity dawned on me as to how the parents should bring up their wards... There is a vast change in the lifestyle of yester years and that which we live today. The parents are at the crossroads caught between tradition and modernity. These poems through sufficient light on the balance that has to be made in the upbringing of the children. Reading of the book has been a very pleasurable and delightful experience. The entire book seems to be a mirror reflection of my thoughts. When I reflect I long “Oh God! How soon I have grown up! It would have been nice to live the life of a child all over again, When I see the children pranking around me and interact with them, I am living of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s ‘Children’s Literary Poems’ and experience those precious moments.

Download or read book The Modern Poet written by Robert Crawford and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-08-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressed to all readers of poetry, this is a wide-ranging book about the poet's role throughout the last three centuries. It argues that a conception of the poets as both primitive and sophisticated emerged in the 1750s. Encouraged by the classroom when English literary works began to be studied in universities, this view continues to shape our own attitudes towards verse. Whether considering Ossian and the Romantics, Victorian scholar-gipsies, Modernist poetries of knowledge, or contemporary poetry in Britian, Ireland, and America, The Modern Poet shows how many successive generations of poets have needed to collaborate and to battle with academia.
Download or read book Warfare and Poetry in the Middle East written by Hugh Kennedy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the rich legacy of the Middle East is a poetic record stretching back five millennia. This unparalleled repository of knowledge - across different languages, cultures and religions - allows us to examine continuity and change in human expression from the beginnings of writing to the present day. In Warfare and Poetry in the Middle East leading scholars draw upon this legacy to explore the ways in which poets, from the third millennium bc to the present day, have responded to effects of war. The contributors deal with material in a wide variety of languages - including Sumerian, Hittite, Akkadian, biblical and modern Hebrew, and classical and contemporary Arabic - and range from the Sumerian lament on the destruction of Ur and the Assyrian conquest of Jerusalem to the al-R?miyy?t of the poet and warrior prince Ab? Fir?s al-?amd?n?, the popular Arabic epics and romances that form the siyar, to the contemporary poetry of Hamas and Hezbollah. Some of the poems are heroic in tone celebrating victory and the prowess of warriors and soldiers; others reflect keenly on the pity and destruction of warfare, on the grief and suffering that war causes.The result is a work that provides a unique reflection upon the ways in which this most violent and pervasive of human activities has been reflected in different cultures. The history of war begins in the Middle East - the earliest reported conflict in human history was fought between the neighbouring city states of Lagash and Umma in ancient Iraq. At a time when the Middle East seems to be permanently at war and wracked by violence, it is salutary to look back at the ancient roots of modern attitudes and to see that in the past, as in the present, these attitudes are much more varied, and the emotions more subtle, than often realised.

This book was released on 2000-11-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study draws on analysis, literary criticism, and source studies to propose a new conception of the nineteenth-century romantic cycle. Rather than a unified whole, the cycle is seen as a fragmentary and open-ended form, which enables Schumann to express the romantic themes of transcendence and ineffability in musical terms.
