Download or read book Drifting with Clouds, Living by Poetry written by Hongsheng Zhang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did poets from the "Rivers and Lakes," a realm defined by its remoteness from the central government, navigate and transform the field of classical poetry, a "high" genre of the scholar-officials class? What did it mean for them to "make a living" out of poetry? Zhang Hongsheng answers those questions in this comprehensive study of the Rivers and Lakes Poetry Movement (Jianghu shipai).
Download or read book Drift written by Mary Kinzie and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2003 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world is touched and stands forth," writes Mary Kinzie in this book of seductive poetic experiment. In lines by turns fragmented and reflective, she shatters and reassembles such curiosities as an engraving by Albrecht Durer and the portrait of a notorious suicide whose children develop a secret telepathy. In one of her many powerful longer pieces, she collects glittering shards from myriad versions of the Cinderella story: "Was the young girl running out of it because --recall the blood within the shoe?-- it hurt her? Kinzie's verse moves mysteriously between folk-lore and urban devastation, between white magic and the concoction of mood drugs in the modern laboratory. In each poem, she draws our attention to the chinks of light in the dark narratives that surround us, in a language animated by her sympathy and deep moral intelligence.
Book Synopsis Shadow of a Cloud But No Cloud by : Killarney Clary
Download or read book Shadow of a Cloud But No Cloud written by Killarney Clary and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shadow of a Cloud but No Cloud" is the latest offering from enigmatic prose-poet Killarney Clary. Like her earlier book, "Potential Stranger," this is a book-length sequence of unnumbered, untitled poems. "Shadow of a Cloud but No Cloud," in poem after poem, evokes crystal-clear moments in time in fraught domestic relationships. One can almost hear the speakers inhaling and exhaling worry or gratitude in the spaces between speech, emulating or reflecting the sparkling or bleak landscapes around them. In a poem that begins We watched ravens, ostensibly about two people in a car at a truck-stop on a desert highway, the speaker muses: As long as we were not speaking, I wouldn t hear what I was afraid you d say. I wouldn t say the words I d be sorry for. Doesn t the wind need to rest? A motley sparrow turned his working, calico eye to the sun, heated the mites then dusted them. Tending to himself, he looked bad. In another poem that begins There went my chance to say: "I never said that." We are on the phone. I am wondering, "Could I have said that?" as you speak forward into other news, what might be. I run behind, see what you have missed. I am missing too. Oh but what I let you say. This quietly haunting book, remarkable for its subtlety and delicacy, is Clary s strongest, most engaging book to date, and amply shows her to be the master of this most difficult of lyric genres."

Book Synopsis The Life and Zen Haiku Poetry of Santoka Taneda by : Sumita Oyama
Download or read book The Life and Zen Haiku Poetry of Santoka Taneda written by Sumita Oyama and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating and quirky biography of a disheveled poet, skillfully interwoven with his original works. Zen monk Santoka Taneda (1882-1940) is one of Japan's most beloved modern poets, famous for his "free-verse" haiku, the dominant style today. This book tells the fascinating story of his life, liberally sprinkled with more than 300 of his poems and extracts from his essays and journals--compiled by his best friend and biographer Sumita Oyama and elegantly translated by William Scott Wilson. Santoka was a literary prodigy, but a notoriously disorganized human being. By his own admission, he was incapable of doing anything other than wandering the countryside and writing verses. Although Santoka married and had a son, he devoted his life to poetry, studying Zen, drinking sake and wandering the length and breadth of the Japanese islands on foot, as a mendicant monk. The poet's life alternated between long periods of solitary retreat and restless travel, influenced by his tragic childhood. When not on the road, he lived in simple grass huts supported by friends and family. Santoka was a lively conversationalist who was often found so drunk he could only make it home with the help of a friendly neighbor or passerby. But above all, throughout his life, he wrote constantly; poetry and essays flowed from him effortlessly. Santoka's eccentric style of haiku is highly regarded in Japan today for being truly modern and free from formal constraints. His journals and essays are equally thought-provoking--the musings of an unkempt but supremely self-conscious mind on everything from writing to cooking rice and his failure to live a more orderly life. This translation and its introduction are by best-selling author William Scott Wilson, whose other works include The Book of Five Rings and The Lone Samurai. Wilson provides sensitive renditions of the haiku illustrating Santoka's life as well as an extensive introduction to the influences on Santoka's work, from contemporary haiku poets and his Buddhist teachers. Alongside the book, readers have access to a two-hour online audio recording of 331 of Santoka Taneda's haiku, read in Japanese by a native speaker, and in English.

Download or read book The Drift written by Alan Jenkins and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALAN JENKINS - POERTY IS EXHILARATING. . . . . IT IS CHARGED WITH EROTIC ENERGY, RAGE, SORROW AND CONFUSION. - DAVID LEHMAN The poeoms in Alan Jenkin's magnificent new collection are closely linked, forming a movingly autobiographical book which deals with the disjunction between the aspirations of youth and the realities of middle-age. The narrator looks back on his twenties, full of the grand ambition to be the next Rimbaud, and wryly contrasts it with his current situation: friends dead, women lost, opportunities missed. Images of drifting, of the random patterns that fate imposes on existence, weave their way through poems full of sea-scapes and sailing boats. Ghosts loom through the mist; objects imbued with memory accumulate like driftwood. But although Alan Jenkins writes about a sense of loss and failure -his rich poetry formally dextrous and inventive, witty and subtle in its allusions - acts as a counterbalance, showing how the twisting of an emotion into shape can salvage feelings of pointlessness. Through his personal experience, he explores themes that will resonate with a broad audience: the difference between men and women.

The poems & verses are an expression of my inner self, A personal universe of words. Words, scribbled during odd minutes, hours, days. Words, springing from feelings, images and situations that I confronted every day. Words, fluttering inside me and finding wings to land on one blank sheet of paper after another.. Words, companions of my cloistered persona, helping me to overcome periods of personal crisis.. I was a willing prisoner, who found freedom in words. The beauty of poetry, It can break your heart, It can also heal it And, I would have remained the solitary reader. Till, I thought of sharing my world of words with public at large. They are accompanied by paintings and photographs that became an integral part of me in pursuit of personal happiness. Let these poems and verses find empathy from its readers .

Book Synopsis SIGHS AND STRAY GUSTS AND OTHER OCCASIONAL POEMS by : Frank Praeger
Download or read book SIGHS AND STRAY GUSTS AND OTHER OCCASIONAL POEMS written by Frank Praeger and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Frank Praeger's Sighs and Stray Gusts and Other Occasional Poems we find a poet weaving karmic webs of inclination and happenstance, extending to his readers a series of invitation to play, or walk awhile hand-in-hand, or stop a moment to wonder. The poems themselves emerge from Praeger's imagination and heart, from a place of deep compassion, and they travel far in place and time, displaying an astonishing range of emotion while still grounding themselves in the subtle distinctions of place, most notably Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior. Here we find poems of both quiet dignity and of barbaric yawp, and both their vigor and their gentleness of attention, their assent into both fantasy and fond reminiscence, was a pleasure to immerse myself in. I paused only occasionally, as the speaker in Praeger's opening poem, to look "up from our foraging / half-hidden among bushes and dwarf trees." What a wonder to see the world anew. ̶ M. Bartley Seigel author of This Is What They Say and founding editor of the critically acclaimed literary magazine [PANK].
