Download or read book Wicked World written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-02-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ON THE SUPERFICIALITY OF ART How can poetry be anything besides deceit? How else can poets adapt to emptiness? When the masters discovered how meaningless the world is, naturally they were disappointed. So they responded with irony, satire, putting on airs, all kinds of tyranny. Some even went mad. Nowadays we usually just binge on topics urgent as our selves, our longings for justice and a stable home. Meanwhile the world keeps behaving according to its god: change? meaningless, inevitable, merciless change? obedient to that god’s twin commandments endless death, never-ending generation. Watching their children grow, every father every mother already knows this . . . this renewing emptiness. Beyond joy. Beyond sadness.
Book Synopsis Sometime a Fine Morning by : Ernest Yates
Download or read book Sometime a Fine Morning written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yates’s fourteenth volume of poems, and the eleventh volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through Philadelphia streets. In this volume the poet’s morning walk along one of Philadelphia’s main thoroughfares introduces a realm “beyond belief,” as the volume’s first poem announces. Then in poem after poem the secular city provides ground and counterpoint to the poet’s variable meditations, as the city’s impersonality drives the poet to contemplate such human values as love, beauty, freedom, justice. In the end the poet moves on, bearing away all vain musings; it is the city?in its varied, raw physicality?that abides.

Download or read book Evening Mist written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yatess eleventh volume of poems and the eighth volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through the streets of Philadelphia. Yatess turns through city streets recall the wilderness wanderings of Basho in seventeenth-century Japan, especially the wanderings of the river and mountain poets of Tang and pre-Tang dynasties of China. Receptive to his terrain as they were to theirs, Yates accepts the wildness outside, merging his imagination with it so that reading these poems is sharing in the mystery?the sublimity?of that wildness. That is why poems in this volume do not compose a discrete and grandly exotic music like that of Wallace Stevens; nor in their realism do they rely on a surrealist unreason; nor do they urge us toward stances of power, protest, or rebellion. Instead, these poems derive impact from their tone of sublime mystery drawn from the sprawl and turbulence of a great citys streets.

Download or read book SING WHAT written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-02-18 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yates’s seventeenth volume of poems, and the fourteenth volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through Philadelphia streets. So the city is a human habitat, a shared home. Still it’s impossible to know Philadelphia’s hundred neighborhoods; impossible as well to know their significance. What dreams, what flimsy speculations the imagination conceives?of itself and of its place?as it ponders this unknowable scene, this physical realm, this body of the city. By itself the physical detail speaks a dreary idiom, harsh and flat; but the wonder of its mystery may give rise to melody, a tuneful song of the possible. For whatever else it is, whatever it may be, over and over again the city proves it is there. Dreaming, we know it is there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yates’s sixteenth volume of poems, and the thirteenth volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through Philadelphia streets. Looking for love? You and I will find it more surely among the fabled battlements of my far-famed city than anyplace else in this crazy world. We might need special glasses, though?the kind we wear when we go to the movies. Then as we wander bistro to bazaar we’re bound to uncover the secret corners, people and places out of which the city is made?and not just the city but a world and a dream as well. And afterward, in time of peace, in time of war, wherever we go and whatever we do . . . we’ll always have Philly.
Download or read book Billboard Empire written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yatess tenth volume of poems and the seventh volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through the streets of Philadelphia. In this volume, Yates views the city as a world of found wordswords that act as messages of desire. Billboard ads epitomize that world, but the city, as a place made by humans for the purpose of human habitation, projects our human desires through all words, even the most ordinary and common, that refer to the city. Conceived in this way, Philadelphia, like every city, veers toward dreamscape, where words enact the dramatic relationship between impersonal urban phenomena and the very human desires of citizens.
Book Synopsis Literary Philadelphia: A History of Poetry and Prose in the City of Brotherly Love by : Thom Nickels

This book was released on 2015 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin put type to printing press, Philadelphia has been a haven and an inspiration for writers. Local essayist Agnes Repplier once shared a glass of whiskey with Walt Whitman, who frequently strolled Market Street. Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe and George Lippard plumbed the city's dark streets for material. In the twentieth century, Northern Liberties native John McIntyre found a backdrop for his gritty noir in the working-class neighborhoods, while novelist Pearl S. Buck discovered a creative sanctuary in Center City. From Quaker novelist Charles Brockden Brown to 1973 U.S. poet laureate Daniel Hoffman, author Thom Nickels explores Philadelphia's literary landscape.

These poems holler, scat, chant, and eulogize on their way to the midwife, sometimes by bus, sometimes on foot, always on time"--

Download or read book Errata 2020 written by Ernest Yates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Ernest Yates’s thirteenth volume of poems, and the tenth volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through streets of Philadelphia. “Errata, you may be the eleventh,/or the thousandth, or the millionth//muse sprung up in America”?so Yates addresses his muse in the poem called “Fever.” And indeed it is Errata who leads the poet through the hundred neighborhoods of the city, from Somerton in the far northeast to Eastwick near the airport, from Chestnut Hill in the northwest to the navy yard in the south. Yates’s interactions with these diverse neighborhoods highlight not only the life of the city itself, but also the receptive spirit of the poems. In these meditations, the poet’s Philadelphia becomes universally relevant?an authentic reflection of any city, of every human habitat or condition.
Book Synopsis Accidents of Being by : Mary Rohrer-Dann
Download or read book Accidents of Being written by Mary Rohrer-Dann and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2023-05-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Rohrer-Dann's new collection of poems explores the world surrounding Philadelphia's Burholme Park, a world intimately personal yet also universally familiar. Spanning generations, a diverse cast of characters belong to this neighborhood but also to this nation, and we recognize in their stories so much of our own collective history. Clearly, Accidents of Being is no accidental triumph, but a bittersweet narrative and often lyrically haunting tour de force. -Martin Lammon, Fuller E. Callaway endowed Flannery O'Connor Chair in Creative Writing at Georgia College (1997-2018), author of News From Where I Live and The Long Road Home These heart-felt narratives leap with life. Vibrant on page and stage, they portray stories of immigrants, workers, and philanthropists who inform the poet's childhood landscape. Well researched, the collection introduces the founding family of the estate which became a park and museum given "free to the people of Philadelphia forever," and then follows the intersecting generations of various families. From the Underground Railroad to Black Lives Matter and the Pandemic, the poet chronicles, from various perspectives, Philadelphia and American history. By the book's end, we arrive where we began: in familiar but changed territory. Sledding in Burholme Park, we, too, dare to see "how fast/how far/we can go." --Marjorie Maddox, author of Begin with a Question and In the Museum of My Daughter's Mind Returning to her poetic heartland, Northeast Philadelphia, Rohrer-Dann resurrects 150 years of American being. In brilliant idiom, she curates interwoven voices with a scholar's acumen and a home girl's sense of social culture. From a ghostly housekeeper turned heiress to a 60's dad dicing celery, the poet deftly positions these disparate lives, and locate us in a burgeoning, national narrative that includes pivotal assassinations, the Vietnam War, 9/11. Her imagery at times lifts this American Chronicle into stunning, numinous ether. From an arsonist's thrill at the "luscious buzz in sizzle suck of air," to a child beholding a fire as "this gushing waterfall of flame," such witness brings a burning sense of renewal. --VA Smith, author of Biking Through the Stone Age, 2022, and American Daughters, 2023, Kelsay Books
