Download or read book Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box written by Elizabeth Bishop and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-1930s to 1978 Elizabeth Bishop published some ninety poems and thirty translations. Yet her notebooks reveal that she embarked upon many more compositions, some existing in only fragmentary form and some embodied in extensive drafts. Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box presents, alongside facsimiles of many notebook pages from which they are drawn, poems Bishop began soon after college, reflecting her passion for Elizabethan verse and surrealist technique; love poems and dream fragments from the 1940s; poems about her Canadian childhood; and many other works that heretofore have been quoted almost exclusively in biographical and critical studies. This revelatory and moving selection brings us into the poet's laboratory, showing us the initial provocative images that moved Bishop to begin a poem, illustrating terrain unexplored in the work published during her lifetime. Editor Alice Quinn has also mined the Bishop archives for rich tangential material that illuminates the poet's sources and intentions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the UK Poet Laureate and bestselling translator, a spirited book that demystifies and celebrates the art of poetry today In A Vertical Art, acclaimed poet Simon Armitage takes a refreshingly common-sense approach to an art form that can easily lend itself to grand statements and hollow gestures. Questioning both the facile and obscure ends of the poetry spectrum, he offers sparkling new insights about poetry and an array of favorite poets. Based on Armitage’s public lectures as Oxford Professor of Poetry, A Vertical Art illuminates poets as varied as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Marianne Moore, W. H. Auden, Ted Hughes, Thom Gunn, A. R. Ammons, and Claudia Rankine. The chapters are often delightfully sassy in their treatment, as in “Like, Elizabeth Bishop,” in which Armitage dissects—and tallies—the poet’s predilection for similes. He discusses Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize, poetic lists, poetry and the underworld, and the dilemmas of translating Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Armitage also pulls back the curtain on the unromantic realities of making a living as a contemporary poet, and ends the book with his own list of “Ninety-Five Theses” on the principles and practice of poetry. An appealingly personal book that explores the volatile and disputed definitions of poetry from the viewpoint of a practicing writer and dedicated reader, A Vertical Art makes an insightful and entertaining case for the power and potential of poetry today.

This Applies No Less To The Women Writers In English Across The Globe Who Have Made Their Unmistakable Mark In English Literature[S], Especially In The Last Century. The Present Volume, The Second In The New Projected Series Of Atlantic Publishers And Distributors, Studies In Women Writers In English Bears Evidence To This Phenomenon As The Critics Address Women Writers In English In Various Parts Of The Globe Rather Than Concentrating On Canonised Mainstream Authors And Texts, And Thus Mainstream Writers Figure Only Referentially, In The Margin Of These Critical Texts, As It Were.

However, The Essays Included In This Volume Cover Authors From America, Canada And India, And Also Some General Theoretical Discourse Regarding Feminism And Marginal Literature.The Authors Discussed In This Volume Are Christina Rossetti Of England, Emily Dickinson, Harper Lee, Lorraine Hansberry And Sylvia Plath Of America, Margaret Atwood And Beatrice Culleton Of Canada, And Kamala Markandaya, Kamala Das, Nayantara Sahgal, Anita Desai, Githa Hariharan Of India. Apart From This A Wide Spectrum Of Indian Writers Have Been Referred To And Treated In The General Articles On Feminist Theory And Practice, Especially In India Today, And Yesterday.The Sixteen Essays Of The Volume Will Be Found Interesting As Well As Useful By Students, Teachers And Scholars And Will Also Be Enjoyed By The General Readers.

Download or read book Why Are So Many Black Men in Prison? written by Demico Boothe and published by Full Surface Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African-American males are being imprisoned at an alarming and unprecedented rate. Out of the more than 11 million black adult males in the U.S. population, nearly 1.5 million are in prisons and jails with another 3.5 million more on probation or parole or who have previously been on probation or parole. Black males make up the majority of the total prison population, and due to either present or past incarceration is the most socially disenfranchised group of American citizens in the country today. This book, which was penned by Boothe while he was still incarcerated, details the author's personal story of a negligent upbringing in an impoverished community, his subsequent engagement in criminal activity (drug dealing), his incarceration, and his release from prison and experiencing of the crippling social disenfranchisement that comes with being an ex-felon. The author then relates his personal experiences and realizations to the seminal problems within the African-American community, federal government, and criminal justice system that cause his own experiences to be the same experiences of millions of other young black men. This book focuses on the totality of how and why the U.S. prison system became the largest prison system in the world, and is filled with relevant statistical and historical references and controversial facts and quotes from notable persons and sources.

Book excerpt: God's Shiny Glass Eye is a montage that offers an impressionistic vision of the eastern Pennsylvanian mining country. The authenticity of the poetry is strengthened by Czury's strong identification with coal country. The poet's imagination and the anthracite world intimately merge to produce a poetry that is poignantly barren and stripped of any artificial embellishment. It is an angry poetry, but its passion is restrained and boils beneath the structure of the book. Michael Basinski
