Download or read book Oracle: Poems written by Cate Marvin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty and elegiac new collection from the author of "exhilarating, fierce [and] powerful” verse (Robert Pinsky, Washington Post). The speakers of Oracle occupy the outer-borough cityscape of New York's Staten Island, where they move through worlds glittering with refuse and peopled by ghosts—of a dead lover, of a friend lost to suicide, of a dog with glistening eyes. Marvin's haunting, passionate poems explore themes of loss, of the vulnerability of womanhood in a world hostile to it, and of the fraught, strangely compelling landscape of adolescence.
Book Synopsis The Poetry Oracle by : Amber Guetebier
Download or read book The Poetry Oracle written by Amber Guetebier and published by CCC Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining poetry with divination, this collection resurrects the ancient Greek art of Rhapsodomancy, or divining one's fortune or destiny through the use of poetry or verse. Harkening back to antiquity, when Polyhymnia—the muse of sacred poetry—and Calliope—the muse of epic poetry—were invoked for guidance, each page of this anthology contains three poetic excerpts, chosen for their oracular wisdom. Readers are asked to contemplate a question and then randomly select an excerpt, which will offer revelations and inspiration for further contemplation. Excerpts are drawn from poets throughout the ages, including Sappho, Li Po, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Dylan Thomas, William Blake, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Though designed as a prophetic tool, it can also be used as an introduction to some of the world's greatest poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems about sex, marriage, and the desire for a child from a “scary-cool and edgy-smart” poet (J. D. McClatchy).

The poems are unsparing but tender, candid but sly, and open to the force of nature on an individual human life. from “Wildfire” We want this. The end to sleeping, the bittersweet arousal, the peeling back, the soft bath in resin, the release. It can’t come quick enough, the hot touch that breaks the crust and lets us go. Hear it now: a crackling, as the woods begin to sing alongside the birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the most profound and far-reaching effects of Buddhism on Chinese culture occurred at the level of practice, specifically in religious rituals designed to cure people of disease, demonic possession, and bad luck. This practice would leave its most lasting imprint on the liturgical tradition of Taoism. In focusing on religious practice, the book provides a corrective to traditional studies of Chinese religion, which overemphasize metaphysics and spirituality.

On Kirsten Dierking's collection of poems NORTHERN ORACLE: "Kirsten Dierking's poems often focus on the small things, the unnoticed natural world around her, 'the unknowable swimmers' in the water beneath the canoe, or the realization of the 'glorious spirit' inside a wild flower. It is this seeing that gives her poems their joy. But it is the unflinching realization that 'you love things that can't help leaving' and that, 'you can't stop/ yourself becoming/ all the white, / expressionless snow' that gives the poems their strength"--Louis Jenkins

Book Synopsis Visiting the Oracle by : Deborah Keniston
Download or read book Visiting the Oracle written by Deborah Keniston and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art and poetry from the discovered journals of Deborah Keniston After Deborah Keniston was hospitalized with an Alzheimer's-like disease, her husband, Edward Lueders, an author and English professor, discovered her poetry-filled journals while going through her papers. He knew she had been writing occasional poems, but had not realized the quantity or quality of her work. Thus began his own work transcribing and compiling this selection, which contains Deborah's words and her artwork. Keniston passed away on January 3, 2013. During her 73 years of life, she was an artist, teacher, naturalist, explorer, and traveler. Her poems reflect her deep love of nature, her keen observer's eye, and her ability to evoke imagery and emotion through language. Because she wrote mainly for herself, her words are truthful and genuine, chosen without the need to impress. In the words of Terry Tempest Williams, "Keniston's poetry is an open hand... 'a clearing away' of what no longer matters and a settling of what does, a gathering of hope lived through language." There are praise poems to be discovered here, as well as deep expressions of longing, loneliness, and the; wish to be known and understood"--

Book Synopsis Oracle Bones: Poems from the Time of Misrule by : Keith Holyoak
Download or read book Oracle Bones: Poems from the Time of Misrule written by Keith Holyoak and published by Goldfish Press. This book was released on 2019-01-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oracle Bones is a new form of political satire-the state of current American politics reimagined as a sequence of poetic warnings to a foolish and dissolute king who ruled back at the dawn of Chinese civilization. Thousands of years ago, a shaman would query the gods by carving a question on a bone and applying heat until cracks formed. The answer was then recorded on the "oracle bone." Keith Holyoak-poet, psychologist, and translator of classical Chinese poetry-has created oracle bones for modern America, "translated" into short English poems. Using symbols dating back to the Shang dynasty, these messages allude to the tyrannical regime of a long-forgotten king. The common people are exploited and divided against one another; impoverished migrants are brutalized; greed and nepotism go unchecked. Meanwhile the king leads a life of joyless debauchery. Warnings of loyal advisors are ignored even as rebellion begins to stir. Of course, the primitive form of government that can be glimpsed in these oracle bones vanished long ago. Nothing like this could happen in the modern democracy of America.
