Book Synopsis Poems 1975-1995 by : Micheal O'Siadhail
Download or read book Poems 1975-1995 written by Micheal O'Siadhail and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micheal O'Siadhail's poetry has always set the intensities of a life against the backdrop of worlds shaken by change. He constantly seeks new dimensions: delving passions of friendship, marriage, trust and betrayal in an urban culture, exploring the intricacies of music and science as he tries to shape an understanding of the shifts and transformations of late modernity. This book traces the continuity of a poetic voice which 'heals the rift of head and heart', resonating with classic traditions. Micheal O'Siadhail is deeply rooted in Ireland while at home in the European and American traditions. Sometimes in free verse, often in more formal modes, a concentration of meaning and music, of thought and language leads to a clarity and accessibility. This selection, taken from nine books, includes all of Hail! Madam Jazz (1992) and A Fragile City (1995), but excludes his recent collection Our Double Time (1998), which is available separately. In an illuminating introduction, Micheal O'Siadhail draws together the strands of a poetry that 'comes from the core', 'an endless jazz improvisation'.
Download or read book The Cradle Place written by Thomas Lux and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cradle Place is a collection from Thomas Lux, a self-described "recovering surrealist" and winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award. These fifty-two poems bring to full life the "refreshing iconoclasms" Rita Dove so admired in Lux's earlier work. His voice is plainspoken but moody, humorous and edgy, and ever surprising. These are philosophical poems that ask questions about language and intention, about the sometimes untidy connections between the human and natural worlds. In the poem "Terminal Lake," Lux undermines notions of benign nature, finding dark currents beneath the surface: "it's a huge black coin, / it's as if the real lake is drained / and this lake is the drain: gaping, language- / less, suck- and sinkhole." In the ominous "Render, Render," the narrator asks us to consider a concentration of the essences of our lives: all that is physical, spiritual, remembered, and dreamed for, melded together to make the messy self we present to the world. Lux's voice is intelligent without being bookish, urgent and unrelentingly evocative. He has long been a strong advocate for the relevance of poetry in American culture. The Los Angeles Times praises Lux for his "compelling rhythms, his biting irony, and his steady devotion to a craft that often seems thankless." As Sven Birkerts noted, "Lux may be one of the poets on whom the future of the genre depends."

Book Synopsis Hail! Madam Jazz by : Micheal O'Siadhail
Download or read book Hail! Madam Jazz written by Micheal O'Siadhail and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hail! Madam Jazz includes Micheal O'Siadhail's new collection, The Middle Voice, the whole of his acclaimed recent sequence The Chosen Garden, and selections from five other books written over the past 16 years. They resonate with a jazz-like vitality, both light and dark, familiar themes with improvisations, varied rhythms, the simplicity of one melody with subtle interweavings of complexities. They sound out nature, childhood and growing up, passionate desire and ideals, the fragilities and abandon of life's dance. Classic models, such as the sonnet, cross with free form. Frank Delaney described him in The Listener as 'the freshest talent from Ireland'.

Book Synopsis News of the Universe by : Robert Bly
Download or read book News of the Universe written by Robert Bly and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed poet and translator Robert Bly here assembles a unique cross–cultural anthology that illuminates the idea of a larger–than–human consciousness operating in the universe. The book's 150 poems come from around the world and many eras: from the ecstatic Sufi poet Rumi to contemporary voices like Kenneth Rexroth, Denise Levertov, Charles Simic, and Mary Oliver. Brilliant introductory essays trace our shifting attitudes toward the natural world, from the "old position" of dominating or denigrating nature, to the growing sympathy expressed by the Romantics and American poets like Whitman and Dickinson. Bly's translations of Neruda, Rilke, and others, along with superb examples of non–Western verse such as Eskimo and Zuni songs, complete this important, provocative anthology.
Book Synopsis New and Collected Poems: 1975-2015 by : Jay Parini
Download or read book New and Collected Poems: 1975-2015 written by Jay Parini and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new book, the first in over a decade, from acclaimed poet Jay Parini This volume revolves around his deep connection to nature and underlines his concerns about the impacts of pollution and climate change. In these beautiful, haunting poems, Parini writes about the landscapes of mining country, of the railroads of Pennsylvania, of farm country, of worlds lost and families dispersed. He explores faith and how it is tested. He limns the deepest crevices of the human heart and soul. He surprises and moves us. In addition to a complete volume’s worth of new work, called West Mountain Epilogue, offering more than fifty poems never before published in any form, Parini has collected the very best work from his previous four volumes, the poems, as he tells us, “written in the past forty years that I wish to stand by.’ Lavishly and deservingly praised over the decades for his work as an essayist, critic, biographer, novelist, and, especially, poet, Parini shines as never before in this generous volume.
Book Synopsis The Street Of Clocks by : Thomas Lux
Download or read book The Street Of Clocks written by Thomas Lux and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2003-02-12 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Street of Clocks, Thomas Lux's first all-new collection since 1994, is a significant addition to the work of an utterly original, highly accomplished poet. The poems gathered here are delivered by a narrator who both loves the world and has intense quarrels with it. Often set against vivid landscapes - the rural America of Lux's childhood and unidentified places south of the border - these poems speak from rivers and swamps, deserts and lawns, jungles and the depths of the sea.
Download or read book Split Horizon written by Thomas Lux and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Lux is the author of such books as Sunday, Half Promised Land, and The Drowned River. His poetry has been fulfilling every expectation by penetrating deeper into the plain-spoken, saturnine, witty language that he virtually invented. In his latest work, Lux's level gaze, cool talk, weird rhythms, and quirky humor place him in a special territory - entirely original - of contemporary American poetry. These new poems, like Split Horizon itself, have unusual titles (Loudmouth Soup, Virgule,Each Startled Touch Returns the Touch Unstartled) and circle around their subjects in strange ways, most often dealing with the lonely oddity of the individual in a society that inflexibly ignores individuality.

Broken into three sections, these include semi-autobiographical poems, odes, and a final section that delves into a variety of subjects reflective of Lux’s imaginative range. Full of his characteristic satire and humor, this new collection promises laughter and profound insight into the human condition. To the Left of Time is a powerful addition to the work of one who has been widely praised for his ability to offer image- and metaphor-driven visions as well as lines of plain language and immediacy. This collection proves that Lux’s work will continue to inspire readers for decades to come.

Book excerpt: The world displayed in the poems of Thomas Lux is a fairly dangerous place, a half promised land, a region where turtles languish of thirst, where a lifebuoy crawls with spiders, where a moving car hits a moving moose and both survive, where what tends to terrify us tends also to make us feel safe, where "rattlesnakes feel at home,” where "your belief in justice/merges with your belief in dreams."
