Download or read book If Night is Falling written by John Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. "For some thirty years, John Taylor has been diving as a critic into the torrents of modern European poetry; that is, into the different national literatures which, in addition, have accepted as their own kin some of the best American poetic voices, such as those of Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, or Wallace Stevens. John Taylor is very familiar with the rich aquatic life of these European rivers; in fact, he is one of the best-informed connoisseurs of what is going on in continental poetry, with all its lively diversity. But his critical books, which show his attentive, empathic reading of work written by others in the various hearts of European poetry France or Germany, Italy or Serbia, Greece or Slovenia, or the more northern countries are not the topic of this introduction. This introduction is about his own poetic prose, which relates his early childhood in the American Midwest. Yet in their stylistic techniques and symbolic depths, his writings indeed subtly reflect certain kinds of European poetics." Veno Taufer"

Download or read book New Tracks Night Falling written by Jeanne Murray Walker and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-05 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anyone who can get through a newspaper," Jeanne Murray Walker says, "will find this book a piece of cake." Indeed, the poems in this book are strong but unpretentious pieces rich in meaning and feeling. / The poems in New Tracks, Night Falling acknowledge that we are people driven and divided by fear. They talk about racism, war, loss, greed, alienation, our disregard of the earth, and our disregard of each other. Sometimes we feel like night is falling in the bright light of day. Yet we get glimpses of hope, of what could be: / In this dark time I want to / make light bigger, / to toss it in the air like a pizza chef, / to stick my fists in, stretching it / till I can get both arms into radiance above the elbow / and spin it above us. / Hope continually threads its way through these poems. We hear its voice as Walker writes about choices both those we make and those beyond our making. / And we feel hope rising like bread when Walker focuses on the gifts of potential, resolution, mercy, joy the new tracks that we can make in fresh snow, on old paths, along the roads more or less traveled. These are stays against the falling night. / With a keen eye for both physical and emotional detail, Walker explores a journey that all of us are on, and she does so in a way that speaks to our deep fears and deeper joys, that engages and inspires. Tempering somber notes with more joyful ones, she reminds us of the good things, great and small, that are still possible in this world.
