Download or read book In the Lilac Hour& Other Poems written by John Muro and published by Antrim House. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in John Muro's first book, In the Lilac Hour & Other Poems, move with a sure hand between closed forms (especially sonnets), invented forms, poems after writers like Keats and Frost, and free verse; and they are committed to seeing and honoring the passing of seasons, of friends and family, and to the birds and flowers that constitute the local reality of our everyday lives. Looking closely and surely at the world around him, Muro's descriptive abilities are everywhere apparent: the crack of a screen door shutting lingers "long on pneumatic air"; a pear is a "tilted Buddha"; swans are "high, heavy clouds / idly set upon the water"; cardinal flowers are "incendiary petal flare, the arching thrust / Of fireworks in descent." But the poems always widen from a series of exacting and fresh images to a wider context-the diminishing habitat of Lady Slippers or a Swainson's Thrush running up against the glass windows of a suburban house. These deft and heartfelt poems trace our connections and disconnections to nature, community, and family while amplifying and celebrating life.

Download or read book Blue Hour written by Carolyn Forche and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Blue Hour is an elusive book, because it is ever in pursuit of what the German poet Novalis called 'the [lost] presence beyond appearance.' The longest poem, 'On Earth,' is a transcription of mind passing from life into death, in the form of an abecedary, modeled on ancient gnostic hymns. Other poems in the book, especially 'Nocturne' and 'Blue Hour,' are lyric recoveries of the act of remembering, though the objects of memory seem to us vivid and irretrievable, the rage to summon and cling at once fierce and distracted. "The voice we hear in Blue Hour is a voice both very young and very old. It belongs to someone who has seen everything and who strives imperfectly, desperately, to be equal to what she has seen. The hunger to know is matched here by a desire to be new, totally without cynicism, open to the shocks of experience as if perpetually for the first time, though unillusioned, wise beyond any possible taint of a false or assumed innocence." -- Robert Boyers

Download or read book Dream Work written by Mary Oliver and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly repackaged as a Penguin paperback, an “astonishing” book of poetry from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Primitive and “one of our very best poets” (New York Times Book Review) Dream Work, a collection of forty-five poems originally published in 1986, follows both chronologically and logically Mary Oliver’s American Primitive, which won her the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1983. The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness, so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive, continues in Dream Work. Additionally, she has turned her attention in these poems to the solitary and difficult labors of the spirit, to accepting the truth about one’s personal world, and to valuing the triumphs while transcending the failures of human relationships.

Download or read book Poets Thinking written by Helen Vendler and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry has often been considered an irrational genre, more expressive than logical, more meditative than given to coherent argument. And yet, in each of the four very different poets she considers here, Helen Vendler reveals a style of thinking in operation; although they may prefer different means, she argues, all poets of any value are thinkers. The four poets taken up in this volume--Alexander Pope, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and William Butler Yeats--come from three centuries and three nations, and their styles of thinking are characteristically idiosyncratic. Vendler shows us Pope performing as a satiric miniaturizer, remaking in verse the form of the essay, Whitman writing as a poet of repetitive insistence for whom thinking must be followed by rethinking, Dickinson experimenting with plot to characterize life's unfolding, and Yeats thinking in images, using montage in lieu of argument. With customary lucidity and spirit, Vendler traces through these poets' lines to find evidence of thought in lyric, the silent stylistic measures representing changes of mind, the condensed power of poetic thinking. Her work argues against the reduction of poetry to its (frequently well-worn) themes and demonstrates, instead, that there is always in admirable poetry a strenuous process of thinking, evident in an evolving style--however ancient the theme--that is powerful and original.
Book Synopsis A Scent of Lilac by : LaMoine MacLaughlin
Download or read book A Scent of Lilac written by LaMoine MacLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Scent of Lilac" is a collection of poems which makes reading poems once again fun and enjoyable. The poems cover a wide range of subject matter and emotional exploration. Any successful poem lifts into flight upon wings of music and magic. A poem¿s music sings from the poet¿s skillful use of craft. A poem¿s magic swirls from the poet¿s skillful use of imagination. So much twentieth century poetic experimentation drives Walt Whitman¿s elegant beginnings into the dark, blind alleys of private, prosaic expression. Significant exceptions exist: most notably, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, and W. H. Auden, and we must remember that Emily Dickinson was essentially ¿discovered¿ during the twentieth century. Poetry should be shared with your friends and neighbors. However, most contemporary poetic attempts reach no general audience and leave the life of poetry hanging by a very thin thread indeed. Anyone who denies the declining number of poetry readers during the late twentieth century lives on some other planet. Real poetry should at least attempt to communicate with ordinary human beings, those readers and listeners whom you might meet while shopping in your local supermarket, or while having coffee at your local cafe. These poems attempt to do just that: to communicate and to share experiences with people I know, and love, and respect, without condescension or apology. These are poems in which you can find delight, poems which you may find yourself rereading now and then, perhaps even sharing them with someone else.
