Book Synopsis Poems from the Shoebox by : Nell Wiser
Download or read book Poems from the Shoebox written by Nell Wiser and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Poems from the Shoebox were not written originally for publication, but rather from a need to express joy, pain, discovery, meditation, and conclusions. They were therefore stashed away in a shoebox that survived many relocations and stages of life from teenage years through retirement. When she transferred the poems from shoebox to a computer file, Nell Wiser discovered that they seemed to be almost a poetic autobiography which was categorical rather than chronological. There are seven categories: Musings, Youth, Family and Friends, Despair, Change, Love, and Later Years. Many of these expressions of thought and feeling are universal and may be reflected in your own life experiences. Others are unique to the perceptions of the poet.
Download or read book Unaccompanied written by Javier Zamora and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestselling Author of Solito "Every line resonates with a wind that crosses oceans."—Jamaal May "Zamora's work is real life turned into myth and myth made real life." —Glappitnova Javier Zamora was nine years old when he traveled unaccompanied 4,000 miles, across multiple borders, from El Salvador to the United States to be reunited with his parents. This dramatic and hope-filled poetry debut humanizes the highly charged and polarizing rhetoric of border-crossing; assesses borderland politics, race, and immigration on a profoundly personal level; and simultaneously remembers and imagines a birth country that's been left behind. Through an unflinching gaze, plainspoken diction, and a combination of Spanish and English, Unaccompanied crosses rugged terrain where families are lost and reunited, coyotes lead migrants astray, and "the thin white man let us drink from a hose / while pointing his shotgun." From "Let Me Try Again": He knew we weren't Mexican. He must've remembered his family coming over the border, or the border coming over them, because he drove us to the border and told us next time, rest at least five days, don't trust anyone calling themselves coyotes, bring more tortillas, sardines, Alhambra. He knew we would try again. And again—like everyone does. Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. He earned a BA at UC-Berkeley, an MFA at New York University, and is a 2016–2018 Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University.

Book Synopsis I Can't Talk About the Trees Without the Blood by : Tiana Clark
Download or read book I Can't Talk About the Trees Without the Blood written by Tiana Clark and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For poet Tiana Clark, trees will never be just trees. They will also and always be a row of gallows from which Black bodies once swung. This is an image that she cannot escape, but one that she has learned to lean into as she delves into personal and public histories, explicating memories and muses around race, elegy, family, and faith by making and breaking forms as well as probing mythology, literary history, her own ancestry, and, yes, even Rihanna. I Can’t Talk About the Trees without the Blood, because Tiana cannot engage with the physical and psychic landscape of the South without seeing the braided trauma of the broken past—she will always see blood on the leaves.

Book Synopsis The Best of the Best American Poetry by : David Lehman
Download or read book The Best of the Best American Poetry written by David Lehman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1998-04-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year since 1988 a major poet has selected seventy-five poems for publication in The Best American Poetry. The series has quickly grown in both sales and prestige, as poetry itself has seen a remarkable resurgence in popularity and vitality, fueled by established poets at the peak of their powers and a new generation of daring voices. As we approach the millennium, now is the opportune moment to take stock of american poetry and choose the work that will stand the test of time. Harold Bloom, a commanding presence on the American literary state, has read all 750 poems in the series and has picked the "best of the best." He precedes his selections with a compelling and highly provocative essay on the state of American letters, in which he fiercely champions the endangered realm of the aesthetic over the politically correct. Diverse in style, method, and metaphor, the seventy-five poems Bloom has chosen go a long way toward defining a contemporary canon of American poetry. This exciting volume reflects not only the taste of the current editor, but the predilections of the all-star list of poets who have contributed their time and intellect to make this series what is today: a "valuable, invaluable, supervaluable" (Beloit Poetry Journal) record of an ever-changing, always exciting art.

Book Synopsis The Intimate Archive by : Maryanne Dever
Download or read book The Intimate Archive written by Maryanne Dever and published by National Library Australia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intimate Archive examines the issues involved in using archival material to research the personal lives of public people, in this case of Australian writers Marjorie Barnard (1897-1987), Aileen Palmer (1915-1988) and Lesbia Harford (1891-1927). The book provides an insight into the romantic experiences of the three women, based on their private letters, diaries and notebooks held in public institutions. Maryanne Dever, Ann Vickery and Sally Newman consider the ethical dilemmas that they faced while researching private material, in particular of making conclusions based on material that was possibly never intended by its subjects to be consumed publically. In this sense, the book is both an introverted contemplation of private affairs and an extroverted meditation on the right to acquire and assume intimate knowledge.
