Download or read book Lorca's Drawings and Poems written by Cecelia J. Cavanaugh and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorca's Drawings and Poems focuses on the act of reading Lorca's drawn or written texts and how the reading of one genre can inform the reading of another. Throughout the study, poetry and drawings from every period of Lorca's career are examined. Selected drawings are interpreted; next, poems contemporary to those drawings are analyzed in their light. In chapter 1, a common poetics is extracted from Lorca's comments about his drawings and writing and placed in the context of the literary and artistic movements of his day. The evolution of the literary criticism that examines Lorca's drawings is traced and reviewed. Lorca's texts are examined from varying perspectives in the chapters that follow. In chapter 2, drawings and poems from 1927 to 1928 are analyzed in light of Lorca's participations in artistic and literary movements during those years. Texts from each period of Lorca's work are read in chapter 3 in a study of Lorca's employment of space and his depiction of setting and subject in his drawings and poems. Such a chronological approach allows the reading of Lorca's texts to reveal the evolution of his aesthetics as well as to identify the imagery and techniques that remained consistent throughout his career.

Download or read book Abide written by Jake Adam York and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2015 Colorado Book Award Finalist, 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award In the years leading up to his recent passing, Alabama poet Jake Adam York set out on a journey to elegize the 126 martyrs of the civil rights movement, murdered in the years between 1954 and 1968. Abide is the stunning follow-up to York’s earlier volumes, a memorial in verse for those fallen. From Birmingham to Okemah, Memphis to Houston, York’s poems both mourn and inspire in their quest for justice, ownership, and understanding. Within are anthems to John Earl Reese, a sixteen-year-old shot by Klansmen through the window of a café in Mayflower, Texas, where he was dancing in 1955; to victims lynched on the Oklahoma prairies; to the four children who perished in the Birmingham church bombing of 1963; and to families who saw the white hoods of the Klan illuminated by burning crosses. Juxtaposed with these horrors are more loving images of the South: the aroma of greens simmering on the stove, “tornado-strong” houses built by loved ones long gone, and the power of rivers “dark as roux.” Throughout these lush narratives, York resurrects the ghosts of Orpheus, Sun Ra, Howlin’ Wolf, Thelonious Monk, Woody Guthrie, and more, summoning blues, jazz, hip-hop, and folk musicians for performances of their “liberation music” that give special meaning to the tales of the dead. In the same moment that Abide memorializes the fallen, it also raises the ethical questions faced by York during this, his life’s work: What does it mean to elegize? What does it mean to elegize martyrs? What does it mean to disturb the symmetries of the South’s racial politics or its racial poetics? A bittersweet elegy for the poet himself, Abide is as subtle and inviting as the whisper of a record sleeve, the gasp of the record needle, beckoning us to heed our history.

Download or read book The Complete Poetry written by César Vallejo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-01-08 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first translation of the complete poetry of Peruvian César Vallejo (1892-1938) makes available to English speakers one of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century world poetry. Handsomely presented in facing-page Spanish and English, this volume, translated by National Book Award winner Clayton Eshleman, includes the groundbreaking collections The Black Heralds (1918), Trilce (1922), Human Poems (1939), and Spain, Take This Cup from Me (1939). Vallejo's poetry takes the Spanish language to an unprecedented level of emotional rawness and stretches its grammatical possibilities. Striking against theology with the very rhetoric of the Christian faith, Vallejo's is a tragic vision—perhaps the only one in the canon of Spanish-language literature—in which salvation and sin are one and the same. This edition includes notes on the translation and a fascinating translation memoir that traces Eshleman's long relationship with Vallejo's poetry. An introduction and chronology provide further insights into Vallejo's life and work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection of Poetry By John Pinelli Jr. John Pinelli Jr. introduces his original garden of poetry this way: My father had a large backyard with many trees and flowers. That’s where I wrote my poems about nature….The rest of my poems were written through my experiences and some of the things I learned about in life. From PATIO: I'm sitting on the patio waiting for the dawn. The trees will be beautiful up and down the lawn; the flowers, too, will be a sight to see. I'm waiting patiently for everything to come together for me. As a poet you have to appreciate what I write for the day begins for me while it's still night. As I look at the sky it begins to light, the birds begin to sing, and make the mood just right. It's five o'clock in the morning and it's a beginning of a new day. I lay down my pen for there's nothing left to say.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is like a plant growing from a stone wall, a poem growing from a story. A few months ago, I opened my laptop and resumed last night’s work on this new literary project, which had no working title — centered on a collection of my poems and their stories. Some of the poems here are written or suggested in my autobiography, ‘Koko Ken’. I am having a hard time writing this section because the stories and elucidations are written within this book. Being a Spina-Bifida baby boomer, I wasn’t to live past six weeks. I’m sixty-four – by the blessings of the Lord, the plant is alive from the stone wall. So, here we are, growing from the wall, the stories and me behind the poems.

Book excerpt: Imagine having the knowledge of other places in the world, the ambition to explore them, but no means to fulfill those desires. Under the moon lies a diverse and colorful world. Elissa Johnson knows that. It is 1871. Elissa is a daughter of a maid in the wealthy Charrington household. She sneaks books from the Charringtons' library and reads stories that invite her to distant places. Elissa exists as a servant behind the gates of Charrington manor. She aspires to travel, but Mrs. Charrington insists Elissa will never be more than a maid in their small town. Elissa's mother urges Elissa to accept her destiny. Elissa witnesses the opportunities her peer, Meloney Charrington, possesses. Because of Elissa's low servant status, hope for a better life seems futile. Her ambition seems to be a curse. One day, as Elissa sits in her room crying, a gentleman named Paul appears and introduces himself. He takes her traveling to many places Elissa has read about, and brings her home before her absence is noticed. When Paul stops visiting, the young maid must ask herself if she is insane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented eyewitness account of the New York School, as seen between the lines of O'Hara's poetry Joe LeSueur lived with Frank O'Hara from 1955 until 1965, the years when O'Hara wrote his greatest poems, including "To the Film Industry in Crisis," "In Memory of My Feelings," "Having a Coke with You," and the famous Lunch Poems—so called because O'Hara wrote them during his lunch break at the Museum of Modern Art, where he worked as a curator. (The artists he championed include Jackson Pollock, Joseph Cornell, Grace Hartigan, Jane Freilicher, Joan Mitchell, and Robert Rauschenberg.) The flowering of O'Hara's talent, cut short by a fatal car accident in 1966, produced some of the most exuberant, truly celebratory lyrics of the twentieth century. And it produced America's greatest poet of city life since Whitman. Alternating between O'Hara's poems and LeSueur's memory of the circumstances that inspired them, Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara is a literary commentary like no other—an affectionate, no-holds-barred memoir of O'Hara and the New York that animated his work: friends, lovers, movies, paintings, streets, apartments, music, parties, and pickups. This volume, which includes many of O'Hara's best-loved poems, is the most intimate, true-to-life portrait we will ever have of this quintessential American figure and his now legendary times.
