Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry Changes Lives is a page-a-day of history, poetry and inspiration. My thanks to Professor Jonathan Chick for this review in Alcohol and Alcoholism (Oxford Journals): For each date in the calendar, the author offers a nugget from history or some happening, often poignant, sometimes quaint; gathers us to a beautiful place in a poem about the world we share; then returns us to earth with a short reflection for the day. The founder of Canongate Press, Stephanie Wolfe Murray, in her Foreword: thought this book 'a wonderful journey, reading about people and incidents both famous and infamous ... you might well think it to be superficial, but the author almost always leads us to explore further'. Addicts have not completely lost structure in their daily lives, in that their days are constructed around obtaining the next supply. Aiming for abstinence, they often flounder, especially if they have no employment to resume or living companion to give the day a form. This daily reader could be a little extra frame for their day. Burn's reflection on the day's poem leads to his tenet for the day. His 366 maxims (366 because he includes 29 February) weave into an immediately useful relapse-prevention framework. We can learn from history. Others have gone before us; but poets turn a lesson into music, bring out the universality, and help it stay in our memory. I did not find the word 'god' on any page; yet if you ever wondered what comprised spiritual recovery from alcoholism, you might get the gist by reading this compendium of fact and modest contemplation. Truly, a source for healing and restitution. The author also offers a daily website - poetrychangeslives.com Reprinted from Alcohol and Alcoholism (Oxford Journals - OUP) Poetry has long been a powerful therapy tool. It can help to change your life. The book informs the reader about the historical significance of that particular day, introduces new poems and encourages the practice of daily meditation. Poetry Changes Lives appeals to students, the literary minded, those in recovery or who are interested in little known historical facts (did you know that Wittgenstein went to school with Hitler?!) or anyone who likes to start the day with a short uplifting text. Each day we learn about a historical event that happened, gain understanding through a poem related in some way to the event, and insight from a linked meditation. Thus February 23rd (birth of Samuel Pepys) is linked to a poem by John Donne and a reflection on the need for us to appreciate life in all its ups and downs. Poetry changes the lives of many people. http: //www.poetrychangeslives.com

Download or read book Book of Alexander written by Peter Such and published by Aris and Phillips Classical Te. This book was released on 2009 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Libro de Alexandre is an epic poem about the life of Alexander the Great, written by an anonymous Spanish cleric in the thirteenth century. It is the most substantial poem (and almost certainly the first) composed in the learned cuaderna via verse form and provides a unique insight into the intellectual world from which it sprang. The poem conveys the grim message of Alexander's life, the sense of hubris and the horror of his fall from greatness and world domination to the bleak obscurity of the grave. As well as relaying the story of a great ancient figure, the poet also comments on the society and political situation of early thirteenth-century Spain. The combination of eras makes this poem strikingly representative of its time. Peter Such and Richard Rathbone's edition in the Hispanic Classics series illuminates this substantial and important text, with a wide-ranging introduction, Spanish text with facing-page English translation and notes.

Download or read book The Life of Alexander the Great written by Plutarch and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 336 b.c. Philip of Macedonia was assassinated and his twenty-year-old son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom. Immediately quelling rebellion, Alexander extended his father’s empire through-out the Middle East and into parts of Asia, fulfilling the soothsayer Aristander’s prediction that the new king “should perform acts so important and glorious as would make the poets and musicians of future ages labour and sweat to describe and celebrate him.” The Life of Alexander the Great is one of the first surviving attempts to memorialize the achievements of this legendary king, remembered today as the greatest military genius of all time. This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarch’s Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.

Book excerpt: Beginning with the ancient conquest of Alexander the Great, these poems trace a journey through grief, as the poet mourns a child who did not live to have his name and deeds celebrated. Resisting a neat linear narrative to grief, these poems explore a mother's quest for a meaningful life and even joy in the aftermath of great loss.

Download or read book Power and Possibility written by Elizabeth Alexander and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation. Elizabeth Alexander is considered one of the country's most gifted contemporary poets, and the publication of her essays in The Black Interior in 2004 established her as an astute critic and cultural commentator as well. Arnold Rampersad has called Alexander "one of the brightest stars in our literary sky . . . a superb, invaluable commentator on the American scene." In this new collection of her essays, reviews, and interviews, Alexander again focuses on African American artistic production, particularly poetry, and the cultural contexts in which it is created and experienced. The book's first section, "Black Arts 101," takes up the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Sterling Brown, Lucille Clifton, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Rita Dove (among others); artist Romare Bearden; dancer Bill T. Jones; and dramatist August Wilson. A second section, "Black Feminist Thinking," provides engaging meditations ranging from "My Grandmother's Hair" and "A Very Short History of Black Women and Food" to essays on the legacies of Toni Cade, Audre Lorde, and June Jordan. The collection's final section, "Talking," includes interviews, a commencement address---"Black Graduation"---and the essay "Africa and the World." Elizabeth Alexander received a B.A. from Yale University, an M.A. from Boston University, and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. She has published four books of poems: The Venus Hottentot (1990); Body of Life (1996); Antebellum Dream Book (2001); and, most recently, American Sublime (2005), which was one of three finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. Her play, Diva Studies, was produced at the Yale School of Drama. She is presently Professor of American and African American Studies at Yale University.

Book excerpt: Poetry. African & African American Studies. "A long-distance runner extraordinaire, Will Alexander parses and devours information, code and arcana lest they parse and devour him, parse and devour us. What but deep seas and distant galaxies would make such a demand his extended soliloquies implicitly ask and overtly answer. These high-toned reflections and imprecations unfold in a march mode almost, an ever insistent rat-a-tat on the rim of a snare, flame and flame's gnarled ignition. Here wonder and menace meet and reconnoiter, a singular, major addition to an already singular, major body of work." --Nathaniel Mackey
