Book Synopsis Tomorrow, We Will Live Here by : Ryan Van Winkle
Download or read book Tomorrow, We Will Live Here written by Ryan Van Winkle and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plain spoken narrators as diverse as the America they inhabit - a pastor's son, the lonely night nurse and fat boy - are all ill at ease. Through road kill, September 11th and death row characters address their own bitter faults with noir-like melancholy, seeking redemption and absolution. What you will find here is the grist of life - death, love, sex, departure - honed by a poet focused on the gravity, fear and humour of living.

Download or read book After Prayer written by Malcolm Guite and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major new poetry collection from bestselling poet and priest Malcolm Guite features more than seventy new and previously unpublished works. At the heart of this collection is a sequence of twenty seven sonnets written in response to George Herbert’s exquisite sonnet 'Prayer', each one describing prayer in an arresting metaphor such as ‘the church's banquet’, ‘reversed thunder’, ‘the Milky Way’, ‘the bird of paradise’ and ‘something understood’. In conversation with each of these, Malcolm’s sonnets offer profound insights into the nature of communion with God in all circumstances and conditions. Recognising that all poetry is a pursuit of prayer, After Prayer also includes forty five more widely ranging new poems, including a sonnet sequence on the seven heavens.

Download or read book Good Bones written by Maggie Smith and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu
Download or read book The Future written by Neil Hilborn and published by Button Poetry. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neil Hilborn's highly anticipated second collection of poems, The Future, invites readers to find comfort in hard nights and better days. Filled with nostalgia, love, heartbreak, and the author's signature wry examinations of mental health, this book helps explain what lives inside us, what we struggle to define. Written on the road over two years of touring, The Future is rugged, genuine, and relatable. Grabbing attention like gravity, Hilborn reminds readers that no matter how far away we get, we eventually all drift back together. These poems are fireworks for the numb. In the author's own words, The Future is a blue sky and a full tank of gas, and in it, we are alive.

Download or read book Lighthead written by Terrance Hayes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry Watch for the new collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, coming in June of 2018 In his fourth collection, Terrance Hayes investigates how we construct experience. With one foot firmly grounded in the everyday and the other hovering in the air, his poems braid dream and reality into a poetry that is both dark and buoyant. Cultural icons as diverse as Fela Kuti, Harriet Tubman, and Wallace Stevens appear with meditations on desire and history. We see Hayes testing the line between story and song in a series of stunning poems inspired by the Pecha Kucha, a Japanese presentation format. This innovative collection presents the light- headedness of a mind trying to pull against gravity and time. Fueled by an imagination that enlightens, delights, and ignites, Lighthead leaves us illuminated and scorched.
Book Synopsis Odes to Lithium by : Shira Erlichman
Download or read book Odes to Lithium written by Shira Erlichman and published by Alice James Books. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captivating poems and visual art seek to bring comfort and solidarity to anyone living with Bipolar Disorder. In this remarkable debut, Shira Erlichman pens a love letter to Lithium, her medication for Bipolar Disorder. With inventiveness, compassion, and humor, she thrusts us into a world of unconventional praise. From an unexpected encounter with her grandmother’s ghost, to a bubble bath with Bjӧrk, to her plumber’s confession that he, too, has Bipolar, Erlichman buoyantly topples stigma against the mentally ill. These are necessary odes to self-acceptance, resilience, and the jagged path toward healing. With startling language, and accompanied by her bold drawings and collages, she gives us a sparkling, original view into what makes us human.
Download or read book Like Thunder written by Virgil Suárez and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Waco to Columbine, from Oklahoma City to New York City, from domestic abuse and drive-by shootings to religious fanaticism and acts of terrorism, the poems in Like Thunder are for those who have perished and those who have survived. More than 140 poems by 120 poets focus, in the editors' words, on "the violence in the news, the violence in our schools, the violence in our homes, as well as the violence in our own minds." The poets gathered here articulate terror and suffering but also present images of hope and redemption; they write of individual menaces and individual victims and the melding of the two that potentially exists in everyone. By transforming horrifying details into larger truths, they create a poetry of witness, of survival, and of remembrance.
Book Synopsis The Poet's Child by : Michael Wiegers
Download or read book The Poet's Child written by Michael Wiegers and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a parent is poet, the child becomes a muse--often wondrous, sometimes terrifying. This anthology explores the vast emotional landscape of parenting, from the serenity of innocent naps to the howling anguish of early deaths. Here are poetic mothers and fathers (and children), across cultures both ancient and modern, trying to make sense--and art--from the sublime mystery and relentless grind of living with children. Never has there been a collection that so honestly speaks to the parents' perspective, where moments of tenderness--such as a father abandoning "the most divinely inspired poem" to feed his son--have their counterpoints: --a nursing mother-poet, who has not slept in 400 nights, going "gradually mad" or --a mother's realization that her daughter would "drive nails into my tongue" Remember those older friends we used to envy, brilliant and glittering with beauty, Who refused to have children, not about to sacrifice their careers; Who refused the mess, the entrapment, as we toiled over chores and homework, worried about measles and money-- Have you seen them lately? They no longer converse in sparkling cadenzas. They are obsessed with their little dog who piddles on the Oriental rug, who throws up on the bedspread... They way they caress him makes you fairly ill; the way they call him, "Baby." from "Children" by Carolyn Kizer Michael Wiegers is the managing editor at Copper Canyon Press. His most recent anthology is Reversible Monuments: Contemporary Mexican Poetry (Copper Canyon, 2002), co-edited with Monica de la Torre. Contributors Include: John Balaban Marvin Bell Kay Boyle Norman Dubie Susan Griffin Jim Harrison Ho Xuan Huong Rolf Jacobsen Richard Jones Carolyn Kizer Thomas McGrath W.S.

Download or read book Future Poets written by Rod Martin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future Poets has One Hundred and One Poetry Challenges, Lesson plans, Poetic Devices explained, as well as Copyright-Free poems for speech presentations. It can be a stand alone poetry unit and is great for substitute teachers and last-minute lessons. This book is for all my fellow teachers who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Kids often just need something interesting and challenging to write about: that is how this book can help. Poetry, with its conciseness, emotion, and lack of punctuation, is a great way to begin each school year and ease the kids into other forms of writing. Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it. And its personal; it comes from the students experiences and emotions. Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There is also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page. The emphasis in this book is students as poets. Its not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. Its about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime. It is my hope that this book will help your students come to a better understanding of poetry and eventually feel confident in their ability to write poems.
