Download or read book Read my Mind written by Fred Sedgwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, Sedgwick's latest book, he aims to help all those involved with children and their learning through poem-writing improve their practice. He argues that through poetry, children can learn about the whole curriculum, including history and science. The book begins with an introduction outlining the importance of poetry, and defining it. It discusses poetry in terms of children's learning and the imagination. Case studies are used to show how children learn about themselves - first, their bodies, and second, their thoughts and emotions - through the writing of poetry. Using many examples of childrens work he considers how children learn about their environment and the relationship between themselves and their environment. Finally, he discusses his techniques for getting children to write and provides recommendations for further reading. Fred Sedgwick is a freelance lecturer and writer specialising in children's writing, art and personal, social and moral education and has been described as 'the nearest thing I've seen to the Pied Piper'. Previously a headteacher in primary schools for 16 years, he has published books of poetry for both children and adults.
Download or read book Impromptu Poetry written by Edwin Debiew and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK WRITTEN by Edwin Debiew is a book of suddenthoughts which came over his mind within the last few months.Edwin wanted to capture those thoughts in writing and decided to try hishand at poetry. Edwin Debiew is a poet who thinks outside of the normalpoetic structure and conforms to his own rules of writing poetry. He writesfrom his impromptu thoughts and allows the poems to develop in his mindwhile formulating the final product. Edwin's ink pen adapts a mind of itsown and cuts like a sword when needed, and paints like a new brush at times.Edwin creates poems just like a lyricist who recites verse after verse-usingvarious rhyme schemes. Poetry defined is a freedom of expression that is fluidlike water. Simply meaning, poetry can mean many things to many people,but the greatest thing about the meaning, is that it is whatever you want it tobe. Of course, there has to be some grammatical and thematic cohesion, butthe meaning can span from A to Z, if your mind flows freely. The process ofaligning words concertedly to arrive at a point with the intention to generatefeelings is a good definition! This is Edwin Debiew's definition of poetry.His new book, Impromptu Poetry, "Thoughts On My Mind" possessesvarious thought provoking themes, while showing a variety of rhymeschemes. Edwin uses real life examples of joy and daily issues and turns theminto short poetic stories for readers to build upon. From short tanaga's andclerihew's, Edwin flows long with "The Opposite of Invictus" and "R&BSongs and Memories."Moreover, Impromptu Poetry is Edwin's story as he progresses in life. Hispoems expounds on past experiences, perceptions by others and relationshipswith others of the world. Edwin gives credence in love poems for women-todeclare their great place in society. Impromptu Poetry will make many laugh,think, invoke inner feelings and motivate and guide people through themind of a man who continues to strive for the best life has to offer!
Book Synopsis Take A Walk Through My Mind by : Angela Wignall
Download or read book Take A Walk Through My Mind written by Angela Wignall and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I discovered many years ago that writing poetry is therapeutic for my anxious mind. Scribbling down words and rearranging them to form a poem, enables my unruly thoughts to escape from my head. This little book contains a selection of thought provoking, but ultimately, uplifting poems, composed by the author. That's me! The poems are complimented by the true story of how I developed my writing skills. First attempts in those early days were filled with fun and laughter for my family and friends. As I journeyed through life and experienced the highs and lows of living on this planet, my poetry became more inspirational and I am told, helpful to others struggling with bereavement, anxiety or just coping with today's fast pace of living. I hope you enjoy reading Take A Walk Through My Mind and perhaps will be inspired to put pen to paper yourself. Go For It!

Book Synopsis My Thoughts Are Clouds by : Georgia Heard
Download or read book My Thoughts Are Clouds written by Georgia Heard and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetry collection that both illustrates what mindfulness is and encourages young, growing minds to be present, from poet and educator Georgia Heard, with art by Isabel Roxas. Poets have long observed the world in a mindful way. They point out beauty we might have missed, draw our attention to our inner thoughts, and call us to see our society in new ways. But as daily life become more and more chaotic, children grow distracted. According to the CDC, 9.4% of children have ADHD and 7% have anxiety/depression. And these numbers continue to climb. As treatment doctors recommend healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep, and mindfulness techniques. Georgia Heard is a poet and educator—and she has long had her own meditation practice. In My Thoughts Are Clouds, she uses poetry to demonstrate what mindfulness is and gives kids—and their parents and teachers—accessible ways to learn mindfulness tools.

Download or read book Nine Gates written by Jane Hirshfield and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1998-08-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Gate Enables passage between what is inside and what is outside, and the connection poetry forges between inner and outer lives is the fundamental theme of these nine essays. Nine Gates begins with a close examination of the roots of poetic craft in "the mind of concentration" and concludes by exploring the writer's role in creating a sense of community that is open, inclusive and able to bind the individual and the whole in a way that allows each full self-expression. in between, Nine Gates illumines the nature of originality, translation, the various strategies by which meaning unfolds itself in language, poetry's roots in oral memory and the importance of the shadow to good art. A person who enters completely into the experience of a poem is initiated into a deeper intimacy with life. Delving into the nature of poetry, Jane Hirshfield also writes on the nature of the human mind, perception and experience. Nine Gates is about the underpinnings of poetic craft, but it is also about a way of being alive in the world -- alertly, musically, intelligently, passionately, permeably. In part a primer for the general reader, Nine Gates is also a manual for the working writer, with each "gate" exploring particular strategies of language and thought that allow a poem to convey meaning and emotion with clarity and force. Above all, Nine Gates is an insightful guide to the way the mind of poetry awakens our fundamental consciousness of what can be known when a person is most fully alive.
Book Synopsis Decade of the Brain: Poems by : Janine Joseph
Download or read book Decade of the Brain: Poems written by Janine Joseph and published by Alice James Books. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the deeply personal Decade of the Brain, Janine Joseph writes of a newly-naturalized American citizen who suffers from post-concussive memory loss after a major auto accident. The collection is an odyssey of what it means to recover—physically and mentally—in the aftermath of trauma and traumatic brain injury, charting when “before” crosses into “after.” Through connected poems, buckling and expansive syntax, ekphrasis, and conjoined poetic forms, Decade of the Brain remembers and misremembers hospital visits, violence and bodily injury, intimate memories, immigration status, family members, and the self. After the accident I turned out all of the lights in the room while I watched, concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a fever with nothing on the tip of my tongue.
Download or read book Underworld Lit written by Srikanth Reddy and published by Wave Books. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simultaneously funny and frightful, Srikanth Reddy's Underworld Lit is a multiverse quest through various cultures' realms of the dead. Couched in a literature professor's daily mishaps with family life and his sudden reckoning with mortality, this adventurous serial prose poem moves from the college classroom to the oncologist's office to the mythic underworlds of Mayan civilization, the ancient Egyptian place of judgment and rebirth, the infernal court of Qing dynasty China, and beyond—testing readers along with the way with diabolically demanding quizzes. It unsettles our sense of home as it ferries us back and forth across cultures, languages, epochs, and the shifting border between the living and the dead.

Advance Praise: "...a clear-eyed awareness of the human condition in its full actuality...Marshall Witten's My Mind's Eye-by turns wry, deeply loving, empathetic, and soberly realistic-is a signal achievement. The world feels a safer and saner place for the lessons in this stirring volume." -Sydney Lea, Vermont Poet Laureate (2011-2015) "Witten's My Mind's Eye views experience through the lens of a poet's observations.

Download or read book Awakened Cosmos written by David Hinton and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep and radically original exploration of Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist wisdom through the lens of the life and work of Tu Fu, widely considered China's greatest classical poet. What is consciousness but the Cosmos awakened to itself? This question is fundamental to the Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist worldview that shapes classical Chinese poetry. A uniquely conceived biography, Awakened Cosmos illuminates that worldview through the life and work of Tu Fu (712-770 C.E.), China's greatest classical poet. Tu Fu's writing traces his life from periods of relative normalcy to years spent as an impoverished refugee amid the devastation of civil war. Exploring key poems to guide the reader through Tu Fu's dramatic life, Awakened Cosmos reveals Taoist/Ch'an insight deeply lived across the full range of human experience. Each chapter presents a poem in three stages: first, the original Chinese; then, an English translation in Hinton's masterful style; and finally, a lyrical essay that discusses the untranslatable philosophical dimensions of the poem. The result is nothing short of remarkable: a biography of the Cosmos awakened to itself in the form of a magisterial poet alive in T'ang Dynasty China. Thirty years ago, David Hinton published America's first full-length translation of Tu Fu's work. Awakened Cosmos is published simultaneously with a newly translated and substantially expanded version of that landmark translation: The Selected Poems of Tu Fu: Expanded and Newly Translated (New Directions).
