Download or read book Collected Poems written by C. K. Williams and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected Poems brings together nearly four decades of C. K.Williams's work: more than four hundred poems that, though remarkable in their variety, have in common Williams's distinctive outlook—restless, passionate, dogged, and uncompromising in the drive to find words for the truth about life as we know it today. Williams's rangy, elastic lines are measures of thought, and in these pages we watch them unfold from his confrontational early poems through the open, expansive Tar and With Ignorance. His voice is both cerebral and muscular, capable of both the eightline poems of Flesh and Blood and the inward soundings of A Dream of Mind—and of both together in the award-winning recent books Repair and The Singing. These poems feel spontaneous, individual, and directly representative of the experience of which they sing; open to life, they chafe against summary and conclusion. Few poets leave behind them a body of work that is global in its ambition and achievement. C. K. Williams is one of them.

Download or read book Five Looks at Elizabeth Bishop written by Anne Stevenson and published by Bloodaxe Books Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Bishop is one of the greatest and most influential American poets of the 20th century. First published in hardback in 1998, "Five Looks at Elizabeth Bishop" is a highly illuminating reader's guide written by another leading poet, which makes full use of the letters Elizabeth Bishop wrote to Anne Stevenson from Brazil in the 1960s. Anne Stevenson is a major American and British poet who has published many books of poetry, including her "Poems 1955-2005" in 2005. Her other books include "Bitter Fame: A Life of Sylvia Plath" (1989), the first critical study of "Elizabeth Bishop" (1966), and a book of essays, "Between the Iceberg and the Ship" (1998). Each of her five chapters looks at a different aspect of Bishop's art. "In the Waiting Room" links her life-long search for self-placement to her unsettled childhood. "Time's Andromeda" shows how a youthful fascination with 17th-century baroque art ripened, in the 1930s, into a unique brand of metaphysical surrealism. "Living with the Animals" considers ways in which Bishop, like Walt Whitman, deserted the literary mode of the fable to give autonomy and authority to natural creatures. Two final chapters focus on the poet's Darwinian acceptance of evolutionary change and her steady look at the 'geographical mirror' that in her later work replaced the figure of the looking-glass as an emblem of imagination. "Five Looks at Elizabeth Bishop" represents a view of her work Bishop herself would have recognised and approved. A chronology and a set of maps serve as practical guides to the poet's life and travels.

Download or read book A Report from the Border written by Anne Stevenson and published by Bloodaxe Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating her seventieth birthday, Anne Stevenson's new collection, a Poetry Book Society Recommended title, crosses many borders. While her title poem mocks borders dividing rich nations from poor, its subtext undermines the public language of political self-justification, suggesting that the true dimensions of morality can be approached best through literature. Many of these poems balance youth and age, life and death, love and friendship, science and mythology, terrorists and victims. In one long poem she looks back to her wartime childhood in America. These are sharp-edged poems, disconcerting and musical, often bordering on laughter or tears. Anne Stevenson was born in England of American parents and grew up in the U.S. Her latest collection of poetry, Granny Scarecrow, was shortlisted for both the T.S Eliot Prize and the Whitbread Poetry Award.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1998-10-19 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Karlin has selected poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901). Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, the volume offers generous selections from other major poets such asArnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to 'represent' their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and Augusta Webster.

Book excerpt: Evocative poems and prose fragments about home, selected by one of the most celebrated poets of our time "This is a book of longing, yes, and also spiritual discernment, political awareness, historical memory, and deep intimacy."--Carolyn Forché In this poignant collection, Christian Wiman draws together one hundred evocative poems and prose fragments about home, exploring home's deep theological, literary, philosophical, historical, political, and social dimensions. Wiman calls home "a house, a country, a language, a love, a longing, a grief, a god." It's "a word that disperses into more definitions than one book can contain." The tensions between diffusion and concentration, roaming and rootedness, precarity and security are everywhere in this book, often in the same poem. Ranging from early modernism to the current moment, and from southern Africa to the Arctic Circle, the selections are as diverse as the poets included. Collectively they envision an imaginative home for even the most homeless of modern readers. Completed entirely during quarantine, amid the miseries of separation and isolation, the collection offers a powerful vision of home as both a place and a way.
