Download or read book The Classic Poems written by Robert Burns and published by Chartwell Books. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Burns is one of the world’s greatest poets. Known as “The Ploughman Poet” or simply “The Bard” in his native Scotland, Burns translated a life of poverty and hardship into lines of verse which still touch everybody who reads them. The work of Robert Burns has a uniquely wide appeal. Abraham Lincoln knew many of his verses, and Bob Dylan recently admitted that it was “A Red Rose” that first inspired him to write. The classic poems included in this collection show every facet of “Scotland’s best-loved son,” revealing not only Burns’s optimistic, will-o-the-wisp character, but also the passion for truth and justice which drove him to pick up his pen. Each poem in this collection comes with its own glossary of terms and there is an introduction to help familiarize readers with Burns’s style and vocabulary. This beautifully decorative hardcover collector’s edition is a necessary addition to any poetry lovers’ library.

Download or read book Aimless Love written by Billy Collins and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “America’s favorite poet.”—The Wall Street Journal From the two-term Poet Laureate of the United States Billy Collins comes his first volume of new and selected poems in twelve years. Aimless Love combines fifty new poems with generous selections from his four most recent books—Nine Horses, The Trouble with Poetry, Ballistics, and Horoscopes for the Dead. Collins’s unmistakable voice, which brings together plain speech with imaginative surprise, is clearly heard on every page, reminding us how he has managed to enrich the tapestry of contemporary poetry and greatly expand its audience. His work is featured in top literary magazines such as The New Yorker, Poetry, and The Atlantic, and he sells out reading venues all across the country. Appearing regularly in The Best American Poetry series, his poems appeal to readers and live audiences far and wide and have been translated into more than a dozen languages. By turns playful, ironic, and serious, Collins’s poetry captures the nuances of everyday life while leading the reader into zones of inspired wonder. In the poet’s own words, he hopes that his poems “begin in Kansas and end in Oz.” Touching on the themes of love, loss, joy, and poetry itself, these poems showcase the best work of this “poet of plenitude, irony, and Augustan grace” (The New Yorker). Envoy Go, little book, out of this house and into the world, carriage made of paper rolling toward town bearing a single passenger beyond the reach of this jittery pen and far from the desk and the nosy gooseneck lamp. It is time to decamp, put on a jacket and venture outside, time to be regarded by other eyes, bound to be held in foreign hands. So off you go, infants of the brain, with a wave and some bits of fatherly advice: stay out as late as you like, don’t bother to call or write, and talk to as many strangers as you can. Praise for Aimless Love “[Billy Collins] is able, with precious few words, to make me cry. Or laugh out loud. He is a remarkable artist. To have such power in such an abbreviated form is deeply inspiring.”—J. J. Abrams, The New York Times Book Review “His work is poignant, straightforward, usually funny and imaginative, also nuanced and surprising. It bears repeated reading and reading aloud.”—The Plain Dealer “Collins has earned almost rock-star status. . . . He knows how to write layered, subtly witty poems that anyone can understand and appreciate—even those who don’t normally like poetry. . . . The Collins in these pages is distinctive, evocative, and knows how to make the genre fresh and relevant.”—The Christian Science Monitor “Collins’s new poems contain everything you've come to expect from a Billy Collins poem. They stand solidly on even ground, chiseled and unbreakable. Their phrasing is elegant, the humor is alive, and the speaker continues to stroll at his own pace through the plainness of American life.”—The Daily Beast “[Collins’s] poetry presents simple observations, which create a shared experience between Collins and his readers, while further revealing how he takes life’s everyday humdrum experiences and makes them vibrant.”—The Times Leader

Download or read book Between Mountain and Sea written by Norman MacCaig and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Two Men at Once' is one of Norman MacCaig best known poems. He was indeed two men at once: Edinburgh, the city where he was born and lived as a teacher and poet, was his home, but no other place shaped his poetry more than Assynt in Sutherland. It is here that he would spend many a summer on family holidays, walking the hills and fishing the lochs. MacCaig's fresh eye saw remarkable newness even in the everyday and each poem is a tiny revelation, a new look at an old friend. This collection celebrates, renews, and rediscovers Norman MacCaig's Assynt.
Book Synopsis Robert Burns in Edinburgh by : Jerry Brannigan
Download or read book Robert Burns in Edinburgh written by Jerry Brannigan and published by Waverley Books Limited. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Robert Burns is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and people all over the world annually celebrate Burns Night on 25 January. Famous now for Auld Lang Syne, Scots Wha Hae, and A Man's A Man for A' That, Rabbie inspires Scots to be proud of Scotland. When he arrived in Edinburgh in November 1786 Burns was unknown, but within days the 'Ploughman Poet' was the talk of the capital, mixing in a circle of wealthy and important new friends. Edinburgh was changing quickly and it was the time of the Scottish Enlightenment, a period of great intellectual and scientific achievement. Burns' experiences during his stay in Edinburgh, including love affairs and fathering illegitimate children, were to influence much of his work to come. His friendship with Agnes 'Nancy' McLehose led to the poem, Ae Fond Kiss, among others. To capture the events of these vital months, three Burns enthusiasts from Glasgow - Jerry Brannigan, John McShane and David Alexander - have newly researched this period in Burns' life for this book. Gain a sense of this fascinating man, city and time by dipping into this book as you stroll through the capital, or by reading it at your leisure. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: The most comprehensive and challenging edition of the poems and songs of Robert Burns ever to be published Along with Walter Scott, Robert Burns is probably the best known Scottish writer in the world. His life story is often represented as one of sexual and alcoholic excess. Drawing on extensive scholarship and the poet's own inimitable letters, this defining work offers a wealth of information on Burn's life and times, the hardship of his early days, his political beliefs, his hatred of injustice, and his fate as a writer too often sentimentalized by biographers, critics, and well-meaning enthusiasts. The poems are presented in the order of their first appearance, giving further insights into the reception of Burns's work and the guarded relationship he had both with his readers and his own fame. Burns is shown as being a radical figure in a British as well as a Scottish context?as well as the peer of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, and Byron in the revolutionary and repressive world of the 1790s.
