Book Synopsis John in the Company of Poets by : Thomas Gardner
Download or read book John in the Company of Poets written by Thomas Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Gardner artistically describes Jesus--"the Word made flesh"--as a poem penned by God for the world, and John--author of the Fourth Gospel--as the poem's interpreter. John's structural patterns, repetitions, and narrative interventions invite readers to experience for themselves the beauty of the divine poem. John in the Company of Poets deepens this invitation by re-imagining the biblical text through the eyes of such artists as Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Wendell Berry, and T. S. Eliot, offering a literary reading of the Gospel based upon their powerful poetic replies. Poets are our best readers, contends Gardner, and his deft analysis forges a fresh path into the issues and tensions of John's Gospel.

Book excerpt: The first in a two-volume memoir, Company takes as its theme the curious fact that as a young poet in 1950s Dublin and Paris, John Montague adopted bohemia as a surrogate family, having been abruptly separated at the age of four from his own family, and the country of his birth, America. Plunging into the bohemian world, he embraced older poets, the likes of Patrick Kavanagh and Robert Graves, as parent pictures. The ghosts of their friends who people Company include Samuel Beckett, his neighbour and friend in Paris for a decade, and the 'inspired lunatic', Brendan Bahan, in Dublin. The book begins with the much-neglected Mrs Yeats, considering that she helped foster the greatest poet of the century, and ends with Montague's relationship with Ted Hughes.

Download or read book James Wright written by Jonathan Blunk and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authorized and sweeping biography of one of America’s most complex, influential, and enduring poets In the extraordinary generation of American poets who came of age in the middle of the twentieth century, James Wright (1927–1980) was frequently placed at the top of the list. With a fierce, single-minded devotion to his work, Wright escaped the steel town of his Depression-era childhood in the Ohio valley to become a revered professor of English literature and a Pulitzer Prize winner. But his hometown remained at the heart of his work, and he courted a rough, enduring muse from his vivid memories of the Midwest. A full-throated lyricism and classical poise became his tools, honesty and unwavering compassion his trademark. Using meticulous research, hundreds of interviews, and Wright’s public readings, Jonathan Blunk’s authorized biography explores the poet’s life and work with exceptional candor, making full use of Wright’s extensive unpublished work—letters, poems, translations, and personal journals. Focusing on the tensions that forced Wright’s poetic breakthroughs and the relationships that plunged him to emotional depths, Blunk provides a spirited portrait, and a fascinating depiction of this turbulent period in American letters. A gifted translator and mesmerizing reader, Wright appears throughout in all his complex and eloquent urgency. Discerning yet expansive, James Wright will change the way the poet’s work is understood and inspire a new appreciation for his enduring achievement.
Book Synopsis Call This Room a Station by : John Willson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Willson's poems are guides for wanderers. Such great tenderness and delicacy live in these lines, a softness of presence/absence in the rich fabric of birds, skies, highly attuned relationships woven through time. Mysterious maps of ancestral legacy vibrate as a low hum--people who birthed us, poets who birthed our souls, and the infinite winding roads--with so many meaningful points on the compass, so many homes."

Download or read book John Donne written by Andrew Hadfield and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Donne: In the Shadow of Religion explores the life of one of the most significant figures of the English Renaissance. The book not only provides an overview of Donne’s life and work, but connects his writing and thinking to the ideas, institutions, and networks that influenced him. The book shows how Donne’s faith underpinned his career, from aspirational courtier to phenomenally successful clergyman and preacher, when he became dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Donne emerges as a figure obsessed with himself, tormented by the fear that his transgressions may have condemned him to eternal damnation. This fine new account uses Donne’s correspondence, writing, and poetry to give a rounded portrait of a bold, experimental thinker, who was never afraid of taking risks that few others would have countenanced.

Book Synopsis Lives of Water by : John Hoppenthaler
Download or read book Lives of Water written by John Hoppenthaler and published by Carnegie Mellon Poetry (Paperb. This book was released on 2003 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lives of Water" by John Hoppenthaler explores a variety of subjects, with poems drawing from fishing, family, relationships, traveling, and history. Hoppenthaler effectively dissects the title of the collection, first with his opening poem of the same title and then with many of the other poems, most of which involve water or aspects of water. For example, my favorite poem in the book entitled "Farm Sitting" opens with a scene at a pond: "Christy throws a rock-/ the barn splinters / on the pond's surface." The image of the destruction of a barn by a mere stone-even if it is just the reflection of the barn-is powerful, and even followed up with: "I flick my spent cigarette / where the hayloft reassembles, / just to watch it burn." These are images the likes of which run rampant through this collection. Hoppenthaler effectively relates through scenes like these that water, the source of life, has such power to portray a whole new universe through its reflection yet at the same time is so weak to have this universe so easily become prey to a cigarette or a rock. Hoppenthaler's ability to communicate through poetry provides imagery that allows the reader to actually feel what life is like on the waterfront or in the eyes of a nine-year-old buying ice cream or as a child whose uncle just died. In general, Hoppenthaler uses excellent imagery to communicate his thoughts. For example: "a postcard / yellowing on your freezer door" from "Intercourse, PA," or "I knew you were in the den below, / that orange dot in the darkness / blooming with each intake of breath" from "Grandfather." Imagery is the most apparent strength of this collection of poetry. -- Ethershop web site, Spring 2011.
