Book Synopsis A Drowning Man is Never Tall Enough by : Patrick Lawler
Download or read book A Drowning Man is Never Tall Enough written by Patrick Lawler and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a poetry of excursions: into maps of lost territories, into the thoughts of a man with no legs, into the life of a town marked by disasters. Patrick Lawler moves into the slender lines of shattered glass, the spaces between lyric and narrative, between metamorphosis and mutation. From the artful surface of a Russian novel, rich with symbolism and white bears, to a survivor's unwillingness to immerse himself in life or leave it, the poems in A Drowning Man Is Never Tall Enough hunger for a language beyond the solid, for the fragmentation that makes a scene complete.
Book Synopsis Reading a Burning Book by : Patrick Lawler
Download or read book Reading a Burning Book written by Patrick Lawler and published by Basfal Books. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, Patrick Lawler's second book-length collection, is his follow-up to the critically praised "A Drowning Man Is Never Tall Enough," and affirmation that he is truly one of the up and coming poets of his generation. Restricted by nothing, he lives on the edge without hesitation or fear. He is a poet for our time. Praise for "A Drowning Man Is Never Tall Enough": "How lovely, to find poetry where I should never have thought to find anything of the kind. Imagine a book with a tarnished title, further soiled by the parenthesis in which it appears. Imagine, in the same vein, that this book is issued by a publisher with the unlucky designation Basfal Books. Now you have what I had when I first laid eyes on (reading a burning book), words already weary unto death with their preening in the lower case. But then one has oneself a look inside at what Mr. Patrick Lawler has wrought -- and sees, blasing back, very life, burning and burning, the mind prudently, but never anxiously, watchful in the shade. Thank God, thank God -- here is a poet. "-- Gordon Lish "Leaving "the mystery intact in every clue," Lawler's first book exposes, shocks and stirs us." -- Newsday "In the case of Patrick Lawler, however, verbal brilliance is put in the service of deep philosophic probing..." -- Booklist "[A Drowning Man Is Never Tall Enough] is the genuine thing, not imitative but full of its own humilities and hubris, as all great literature is. The book is a wonder." -- Bin Ramke "I'm given all sorts of pleasure by such immediate poems as "The Front," such skills as inform "Is (Is Not)," such structural accomplishments as "Stone Music," and -- clearly -- the progressions of the whole final section." -- Philip Booth Patrick Lawler is currently a professor at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, where he teaches Environmental Writing and Environmental Literature. He also teaches creative writing at LeMoyne College and Onondaga Community College. His poems have appeared in magazines and journals such as "American Poetry Review," "Central Park," "The Iowa Review," "Shenandoah," "Nimrod" and "Northwest Review." His first book of poems, "A Drowning Man Is Never Tall Enough," was published by the University of Georgia Press in 1990.
Book Synopsis Heaven and Earth by : Albert Goldbarth
Download or read book Heaven and Earth written by Albert Goldbarth and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing with equal energy at the imposing sky and at our own home planet, Albert Goldbarth moves from hosannah-choiring angels to a single peach pit glistening on the tongue of Madame Renoir, from the sweep of the earth's ecocycles to the particles of quantum physics. In these poems surgeons, lovers, astronauts, psychiatrists, and priests embark on the same far journey, traveling into the universe of what it means to be human, exploring "how the world works." Here, the ancient Egyptian afterlife and the atrocities of the 10 o'clock news, the realm of guacamole chip dip and the life of Rembrandt mix toward one cohesive vision.
Book Synopsis The Lost Fragments of Heraclitus by : Neil Carpathios
Download or read book The Lost Fragments of Heraclitus written by Neil Carpathios and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lost Fragments of Heraclitus, award-winning poet Neil Carpathios channels the great Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, who may be a distant relative of the author. In doing so, Carpathios shares his own highly original aphorisms, which he claims may have been cowritten by the disembodied spirit of his "Uncle Heraclitus." With this Borgesian premise as the backdrop, the result is an outpouring of philosophy, spirituality, humor, and poetry in the form of hybrid literary fragments by turns magically real, metaphorical, and soul-searching. This quirky, inventive collection is sure to provoke thought, entertain, and even move the reader to a deeper appreciation of what it means to be human.
Download or read book Of Thee I Sing written by Timothy Liu and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his fifth book of poems, Timothy Liu addresses a tripartite “Thee”: the Divine, the Beloved, and the State. A precarious dance between the spiritual and the material ensues, the lyric poem confronting a consumer culture overrun by rampant lust and greed yet finding itself unable to wholly stand outside of what it critiques. Any consolation found herein is short-lived. Even so, by extending the traditions of lyric poetry forward, these utterances seek to enlarge the conversation between art and life, anticipating whatever commerce the future might yet hold.

Download or read book Approximate Darling written by Lee Upton and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her most ambitious collection of poems to date, Lee Upton extends and deepens her experiments with perception and language. Drawn into the orbit of her poems are multiple figurations--a Dante-inspired guide and a Leonardo da Vinci cartoon, Hamlet's Gertrude, and Lewis Carroll's Alice--and Emily Dickinson, Beatrix Potter, Louise Bogan, and Sylvia Plath. While investigating elements of women's biological, emotional, and spiritual experiences that prove particularly recalcitrant to language, she draws her attention to the "relentless experiment" of pregnancy and childbirth. Upton examines fleeting moments when objects are seen at the periphery of vision and draws upon the language we use in contemplating the psychic aftereffects of contemporary violence, dispossession, and exclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the wreck of one of the grandest enterprises ever conceived by the human mind! complained Colonel W.P. Grundy, in a voice broken with emotion. A group of small boys grinned, though they offered no audible comment. "Such defeats often usually, in fact - come to those who try to educate the masses and bring popular intelligence to a higher level," was the colonel's declaration, as he wiped away a real or imaginary tear. On a nearby lot stood a large show tent, so grayed and frayed, so altogether dingy as to suggest that it had seen some summers of service ere it became briefly the property of Colonel Grundy.

Book Synopsis By Reason of Breakings by : Andrew Zawacki
Download or read book By Reason of Breakings written by Andrew Zawacki and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Reason of Breakings, Andrew Zawacki's first book of poetry, overwhelms and silences by virtue of its extremely austere beauty. In highly wrought lyrics, prose poems, fragments of apocrypha, and splintered efforts at song, this volume is forceful and haunted by doubt. Each intimate and restrained line is a glimpse at a wisdom that defies paraphrase, each image carefully chosen and constructed. Zawacki's language summons and invites and is almost menacing in its delicate intensity: "Weight is the syntax of filling empty spaces: scalpels and expired tissue fall, but fire rises to fever and sere." While pursuing an explanation for the disappearance of God and for the denouement of a love affair, and exploring the failure of language to compensate or console, these poems maintain their sublime power and elegance.
