Book Synopsis Cape Ann and Beyond the Cut Bridge by : Sharon R. Chace
Download or read book Cape Ann and Beyond the Cut Bridge written by Sharon R. Chace and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My poems are about places on Cape Ann, in the wider world, and in interior places of mind and heart. I often write poetry about beauty as revelatory of transcendent meanings in nature, community, and intuitions of the divine. The introduction reveals my literary and religious connections to Lucy Larcom, a nineteenth-century writer who is most famous for her book of prose, A New England Girlhood Outlined from Memory and her book of poetry, Wild Roses of Cape Ann. For both my historical soul sister and for me, beauty is sacramental, signaling the Creator in creation. Beauty is beatitude infused. I invite you to contemplate with me. Perhaps our paths will converge. It is my hope that you will discover challenge, comfort, and even joy.

Book Synopsis The Color of Light by : Marilyn Chandler McEntyre
Download or read book The Color of Light written by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh comes to life in a new light on the pages of this splendid volume. Through eloquent poetic meditations on Van Gogh's late paintings, Marilyn Chandler McEntyre shows how these artworks testify to divine presence, and she invites readers to find their way through form, color, and light into a new awareness of the Spirit. Some of McEntyre's poems remind us of the sorrows in the life of this solitary artist and of his infinite longing. Some convey Van Gogh's epiphanies of joy and energy, expressing themselves in color. McEntyre sees the paintings as inviting us to see things in a different light, and her poetry is an act of consent to that invitation, providing an intimate encounter with these great works. Evocatively pairing art and poetry on two-page spreads, The Color of Light is McEntyre's third in a trilogy of poetry books on Dutch master painters, each of which invites us to reflect not only on the artist's life and faith but also on our own.

Download or read book Art and Artists written by Emily Fragos and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and Artists: Poems is a sumptuous collection of visions in verse—the work of centuries of poets who have used their own art form to illuminate art created by others. A wide variety of visual art forms have inspired great poetry, from painting, sculpture, and photography to tapestry, folk art, and calligraphy. Included here are poems that celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, and Grant Wood’s American Gothic. Here are such well-known poems as John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and W. H. Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts,” Homer’s immortal account of the forging of the shield of Achilles, and Federico García Lorca’s breathtaking ode to the surreal paintings of Salvador Dalí. Allen Ginsberg writes about Cezanne, Anne Sexton about van Gogh, Billy Collins about Hieronymus Bosch, and Kevin Young about Jean-Michel Basquiat. Here too are poems that take on the artists themselves, from Michelangelo and Rembrandt to Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe. Altogether, this brilliantly curated anthology proves that a picture can be worth a thousand words—or a few very well-chosen ones.

Download or read book Painted Poetry written by Keila Womack and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painted Poetry is a collection of the art infused poems of Keila Womack. The Poet pours words of emotion in lines of poetry while bringing the essence of thoughts to life with a visual inspiration of her very own oil paintings. At the young age of 15, Keila found solace in releasing poetic thoughts as well as writing and singing her own lyrics. Writing, as well as painting has been a journey of healing, renewal and hope while walking round the unexpected corners of every day life. In her own words she expresses the need for art as the need for bread, "Being an artist may not pay the bills but it restores the heart, fills an absent mind and gives bread to a hungry soul." Collectively, her vision of art and the sensitivity of literature creates a distinctly unique relationship. "Poetry is in the heart of every human soul. Life breaks the man, his longing and release of words makes his being whole."

Download or read book Myself Painting written by Clarence Major and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Myself Painting Clarence Major seeks to re-create for readers the inexpressible feeling that comes from creating art, with poems that speak not of painting itself but of its underlying process. Major incorporates the techniques of painting—particularly that of Post-Expressionism—into his verse, describing scenery with an artist’s eye and using form and color to evoke striking images: “Desire, artichoke green . . . leaves all radiant, / creating the thickness of blue shadows.” A master of highly structured free verse, Major also paints sounds, enthralling the reader in a realm of private symbols and dream visions. Using dynamic, surreal images, this original collection invites readers into the poet’s own fascinating world.
Book Synopsis Light From The Left by : Judith Lauter
Download or read book Light From The Left written by Judith Lauter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Light from the Left, poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter discovers a Rembrandt both familiar and far different from the one we are accustomed to. He is recognizably the massively talented artist of religious and secular masterpieces that have made him renowned throughout the world, a figure virtually synonymous with "great painter." But these poems also locate a new Rembrandt, a compassionate, subtle, and slyly subversive political thinker and observer of the human condition, who views the world from a unique perspective. After reading this book, you may never look at a Rembrandt painting in quite the same way again.
