Book excerpt: Nominated twice for the Nobel Prize, Irving Layton is Canada's most dynamic, controversial, and outspoken poet. His prolific verse reveals his Judaic heritage, his love of women, and his fury and fever for life. This volume of 150 poems, which takes its title from the opening poem, is a new selection from Layton's work between 1928 and 1990, chosen to give a complete picture of the poet his vision, tone, celebration, attack, defence, disharmony, and "the external dualisms of imaginative desire and bitter reality." These are the poems for which Layton will be remembered.
Download or read book More Anon written by Maureen N. McLane and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected poems of Maureen N. McLane More Anon gathers a selection of poems from Maureen N. McLane’s critically acclaimed first five books of poetry. McLane, whose 2014 collection This Blue was a finalist for the National Book Award, is a poet of wit and play, of romanticism and intellect, of song and polemic. More Anon presents her work anew. The poems spark with life, and the concentrated selection showcases her energy and style. As Parul Seghal wrote in Bookforum, “To read McLane is to be reminded that the brain may be an organ, but the mind is a muscle. Hers is a roving, amphibious intelligence; she’s at home in the essay and the fragment, the polemic and the elegy.” In More Anon, McLane—a poet, scholar, and prizewinning critic—displays the full range of her vertiginous mind and daring experimentation.

Download or read book How To Read A Poem written by Edward Hirsch and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 1999-03-22 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives. How to Read a Poem is an unprecedented exploration of poetry and feeling. In language at once acute and emotional, National Book Critics Circle award-winning distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch describes why poetry matters and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message can make a difference. In a marvelous reading of verse from around the world, including work by Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath, among many others, Hirsch discovers the true meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. "The answer Hirsch gives to the question of how to read as poem is: Ecstatically."—Boston Book Review

Download or read book Running Late written by Rolf Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running Late marks the re-emergence of a truly unique and important voice in Canadian poetry, bringing together selected earlier works by Rolf Harvey along with a captivating set of new work. Harvey was a key member of the Canadian poetry scene in the 1960s and '70s. He studied under Irving Layton, Maurice Elliott, and D.E.S. Maxwell while working closely with Al Purdy, George Johnston and others. Harvey's first collection of poems, The Perfect Suicide, was published in 1972 by New Press and hailed as a "forceful, rhetorical and highly idiosyncratic collection" [John Bemrose, Toronto Star]. This was followed by Getting By (Oasis Press, 1979) and Out From Under (Oasis Press, 1984), which was edited by Irving Layton. Harvey's absence from the world of poetry since the mid-1980s owes much to his distinguished career in film and television. But now, with Running Late, new poems that are both personal and outward looking - calls from the Ontario back-country that everyone should hear.
