Book excerpt: From the Preface: I love the �Precedent� poems included here, for they remind us that our work includes history and models which we can learn from and adapt to our own times. These writers all take us back through Walt Whitman to Emerson�s definition of the poet�s role: �The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty,� and so a truthful �naming� and �saying� are a part of all of these beautiful poems. Denise Levertov�s poem �Life at War,� written during the Vietnam War, speaks to us immediately and directly by naming what has been lost in adopting a contemporary mindset of warfare: �our nerve filaments twitch in its presence/ day and night, / nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying, / nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness, / the deep intelligence living at peace would have.� For her and the poets and readers here the poem bravely confronts the world and yet moves us to imagine the peace within it and ourselves. We offer this book as part of that intention.-Larry Smith

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE object of this volume is to place before the general readerour two early poetic masterpieces — The Canterbury Tales andThe Faerie Queen; to do so in a way that will render their"popular perusal" easy in a time of little leisure and unboundedtemptations to intellectual languor; and, on the same conditions,to present a liberal and fairly representative selection from theless important and familiar poems of Chaucer and Spenser.There is, it may be said at the outset, peculiar advantage andpropriety in placing the two poets side by side in the mannernow attempted for the first time. Although two centuries dividethem, yet Spenser is the direct and really the immediatesuccessor to the poetical inheritance of Chaucer. Those twohundred years, eventful as they were, produced no poet at allworthy to take up the mantle that fell from Chaucer's shoulders;and Spenser does not need his affected archaisms, nor hisfrequent and reverent appeals to "Dan Geffrey," to vindicate forhimself a place very close to his great predecessor in the literaryhistory of England. If Chaucer is the "Well of Englishundefiled," Spenser is the broad and stately river that yet holdsthe tenure of its very life from the fountain far away in otherand ruder scenes. The Canterbury Tales, so far as they are in verse, have beenprinted without any abridgement or designed change in thesense. But the two Tales in prose — Chaucer's Tale ofMeliboeus, and the Parson's long Sermon on Penitence — havebeen contracted, so as to exclude thirty pages of unattractiveprose, and to admit the same amount of interesting andcharacteristic poetry.

Download or read book Love And Other Poems written by Hilary Seymour-Cole King and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From island to island ... Born in England and brought up on the south coast. Hilary Seymour-Cole King has never forgotten her English roots. She was educated there and in London, where she worked in advertising. She decided to emigrate to the United States in 1957 in order to study American advertising methods, and this led to her marriage to an American who had been a Rhodes scholar at Oxford. Hilary had her fi rst poem Spitfi res in the Sun published at the age of 16 when at boarding school, and she continued to write poetry and short stories. She became an advertising copywriter, an editor of several womens magazines in New York, and then founded and ran her own Public Relations and Marketing agency in Manhattan for over 40 years. Hilary has continued to write throughout the years - whether living in New York or on Shelter Island, where she acquired a summer house for her children, Alexandra, Edward and Vanessa in the late 70s. Then, in the 80s, she returned to her fi rst love, Italy, and acquired a 200 year old ruin in Umbria, in a hamlet called Morra, on the Tuscany border. Originally a tobacco drying tower, this took nearly four years of money, Italian permits, Italian workmen, and so on to restore the building and create a casa di campagna, a little country house. This house was the joy of her life for many years and she visited it whenever possible. Now, at 82, Hilary has retired to Shelter Island where she lives permanently. She has completed her fi rst book of poems and is working on her memoirs of a childhood in England during World War II. Her greatest joy today is when her grandchildren, Duncan, Fiona and Liam, visit her. As she says, Shelter Island is so like England, where you are surrounded by the beauty, peace and quiet of the countryside and the sea.
