Book Synopsis The Encore by : Charity Tillemann-Dick
Download or read book The Encore written by Charity Tillemann-Dick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “heartrending, passionate, and surprisingly humorous account of the conjunction between art and death” (Andrew Solomon, New York Times bestselling author), acclaimed opera singer Charity Tillemann-Dick recounts her remarkable journey from struggling to draw a single breath to singing at the most prestigious venues in the world after receiving not one but two double lung transplants. Charity Tillemann-Dick was a vivacious young American soprano studying at the celebrated Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest when she received devastating news: her lungs were failing, her heart was three and a half sizes too big, and she would die within five years. Medical experts advised Charity to abandon her musical dreams, but if her time was running out, she wanted to spend it doing what she loved. In just three years, she endured two double lung transplants and had to slowly learn to breathe, walk, talk, eat, and sing again. With new lungs and fierce determination, she eventually fell in love, rebuilt her career, and reclaimed her life. More than a decade after her diagnosis, she has a chart-topping album, performs around the globe, and is a leading voice for organ donation. Weaving Charity’s extraordinary tale of triumph with those of opera’s greatest heroines, The Encore illuminates the indomitable human spirit and is “an uplifting story of overcoming significant odds to fulfill a dream” (Kirkus Reviews).

Book excerpt: Take your seat and prepare to be enchanted by Encore: A Collection of Poetry. Zaneta Varnado Johns, an internationally recognized poet and author, is back with ninety-nine select poems in her third poetry collection. She is fueled by passion, purpose and gratitude in response to her readers' request for more. In Encore, Johns shares romantic musings and essences derived from travel and her appreciation of her surroundings and experiences. Her love and compassion for people are beautifully expressed either as poetic observation or unique tributes found in the chapter titled, "In Awe." Her prose poem, "She Speaks for Me," is a masterpiece showcasing the renowned African and African American women poets who influence her writing.You will be inspired by beautiful images and quotes, the poet's signature accent also found in her previous collections. Johns has a lot to say about the human condition. You will witness Hawaii's spirit of aloha throughout this collection. Some poems are concise while others are grouped in the chapters "Rants and Spiels" or "Keynotes." She passionately addresses hunger, gun violence, women's empowerment, and prejudice, among other issues. In "It Has to Stop," Johns expresses a gut-wrenching response to yet another fatal school shooting. Throughout Encore, Zaneta Varnado Johns leaves an indelible mark with every word and rendering.
Download or read book Melodies Unheard written by Anthony Hecht and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2003. The fruit of a lifetime's reading and thinking about literature, its delights and its responsibilities, this book by acclaimed poet and critic Anthony Hecht explores the mysteries of poetry, offering profound insight into poetic form, meter, rhyme, and meaning. Ranging from Renaissance to contemporary poets, Hecht considers the work of Shakespeare, Sidney, and Noel; Housman, Hopkins, Eliot, and Auden; Frost, Bishop, and Wilbur; Amichai, Simic, and Heaney. Stepping back from individual poets, Hecht muses on rhyme and on meter, and also discusses St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians and Melville's Moby-Dick. Uniting these diverse subjects is Hecht's preoccupation with the careful deployment of words, the richness and versatility of language and of those who use it well. Elegantly written, deeply informed, and intellectually playful, Melodies Unheard confirms Anthony Hecht's reputation as one of our most original and imaginative thinkers on the literary arts.
Download or read book Encore written by Russ Peery and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-07-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russ Peery, 89, brings fresh perspectives on nature, life, aging Author announces release of his latest book Encore: A Collection of Poems KISSIMMEE, Fla. - It is not every day that one has access to the thoughts of a gifted 89-year-old poet. Russ Peerys Encore available in large print paperback in August 2016, offers just such an opportunity. In his own words, this striving ancient being finds wonder in dailyness and meaning in aging. In these latter years of mine / I milk the sky and earth for poems / I milk my memories / I milk my thoughts. A former pastor and woodworker, Peery came relatively late to poetry. At the age of 73, he was persuaded by his ailing mother to write seriously, and his wife of 40 years encourages him on a daily basis to keep at it. Peerys latest collection of 180 poems spanning such universal subjects as nature, relationships, love, inspiration, memories, aging, end-of-life reflections is a rare treasure, laying bare in gratifying cadence truths of the human condition and human experience, with the wisdom gathered from nearly nine decades. Encore is illustrated with striking photographs taken by Peerys friend and editor, Joanne Schwandes. In the photos, readers actually see many of the vistas and images that inspire Peery and that he paints so vividly with words. Peerys poems are accessible and varied. A number of poems have a timeless quality: Down by the sea that I see no more / the sea close to me in my days of yore / are waters still lapping a now distant shore Others describe touching encounters with grandchildren and people he knows. Some poems catch the reader off guard with their candor, amuse with their contemporary references (iPhones), and make one laugh out loud with unexpected metaphors. On the whole though, the poems are powerful, keenly incisive and a testament to the unconquerable soul (as in Henleys Invictus). The section entitled Harvesting a Memory is especially poignant, covering loss, nostalgia, disappointment, gratitude and triumph. One excerpt that captures the general tone of the book comes from the poem A Tool Weve Been Given on p. 123: My mind often covets those memories / spawned when this century was new / But rather than cry at the losses / we do best by recalling and smiling / for that is the tool weve been given / that offers us great consolation / when our accumulated years / deny us the blessings / once almost taken for granted. This book at its core pays homage to aging, with humor, insightful perspective and dignity. It will resonate with anyone who is or loves a senior citizen of any age. The poems are particularly well-suited for reading aloud and may easily be used as a springboard for reflection, discussion and reminiscing.
Download or read book White Light written by Ronald J. Friis and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Light: The Poetry of Alberto Blanco examines the interplay of complementary images and concepts in the award-winning Mexican writer's cycle of poems from 1979 to 2018. Blanco’s poetic trilogy A la luz de siempre is characterized by its broad range of form and subject and by the poet's own eclectic background as a chemist, maker of collages, and musician. Blanco speaks the language of the visual arts, science, mathematics, music, and philosophy, and creates work with deep interdisciplinary roots. This book explores how polarities such as space and place, reading and writing, sound and silence, visual and verbal representation, and faith and doubt are woven through A la luz de siempre. These complements reveal how Blanco’s poetry, like the phenomenon of white light, embraces paradox and transforms into something more than the sum of its disparate and polychromatic parts.
Book Synopsis Baudelaire's Poetic Patterns by : Broome
Download or read book Baudelaire's Poetic Patterns written by Broome and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major new study of Baudelaire is a journey into the secret language of Les Fleurs du Mal: the expressive pliabilities of its verse-forms and syntax, the fluctuations of its rhythms, its significant sonorities, its metaphorical figures and dynamic image-patterns, its network of nerves and trigger-points, its shifting underground of parallels and contrasts, analogies and antitheses. Through a strategic selection of poems constituting a 'constellation', a formal pattern of mutually illuminating parts, the analysis aims to show that form and theme are indissoluble: that each movement in the texture of the verse, each pulse, each rise and fall, each intensification or release, not only aids and abets the thrust of the poet's inspiration but is moulding and, in the end, creating the subtleties of sense, which cannot exist but in the weft and web of the breathing, evolving text. It is a study which prioritizes the individual poem, then the poem within an expanding formation of poems, then Baudelaire within and beyond that formation: an infini dans le fini. It is also an enquiry into what makes poetry, as well as a provocative contribution to the ongoing debate on the nature of criticism.
Book Synopsis Public Art Encounters by : Martin Zebracki
Download or read book Public Art Encounters written by Martin Zebracki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public art is produced and ‘lived’ within multiple, interlaced and contested political, economic, social and cultural-symbolic spheres. This lively collection is a mix of academic and practice-based writings that scrutinise conventional claims on the inclusiveness of public art practice. Contributions examine how various social differences, across class, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, ability and literacy, shape encounters with public art within the ambits of the design, regeneration and everyday experiences of public spaces. The chapters richly draw on case studies from the Global North and South, providing comprehensive insights into the experiences of encountering public art via a variety of scales and realms. This book advances critical insights of how socially practised public arts articulate and cultivate geographies of social difference through the themes of power (the politics of encountering), affect (the embodied ways of encountering), and diversity (the inclusiveness of encountering). It will appeal to scholars, students and practitioners of cultural geography, the visual arts, urban studies, political studies and anthropology.
Book Synopsis Horace and the Rhetoric of Authority by : Ellen Oliensis
Download or read book Horace and the Rhetoric of Authority written by Ellen Oliensis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-05-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Horace's poems construct the literary and social authority of their author. Bridging the traditional distinction between 'persona' and 'author', Ellen Oliensis considers Horace's poetry as one dimension of his 'face' - the projected self-image that is the basic currency of social interactions. She reads Horace's poems not only as works of art but also as social acts of face-saving, face-making and self-effacement. These acts are responsive, she suggests, to the pressure of several audiences: Horace shapes his poetry to promote his authority and to pay deference to his patrons while taking account of the envy of contemporaries and the judgement of posterity. Drawing on the insights of sociolinguistics, deconstruction and new historicism Dr Oliensis charts the poet's shifting strategies of authority and deference across his entire literary career.
Download or read book Joseph Brodsky written by L. Loseff and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-06-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an imaginative work of literary criticism. Thirteen scholars have selected a wide variety of Joseph Brodsky's poems written between 1970 and 1994 for detailed discussion in the context of his whole output. The choice of poems reflects Brodsky's diversity of themes and devices. Together they offer a perspective on one of the most original and profound modern poets. This collection should fulfil the often-expressed need for a comprehensive approach to the study of Brodsky's poetry, which is linguistically as well as intellectually demanding.
