Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together 40 years of essays about poetry and literature written by Emily Grosholz. The first section includes essays about some of her favorite poets and thinkers in the United States, England, France and Germany. The second section brings poetry into relation with ethics, politics and practical deliberation, and the third considers it alongside science and imagination. The last section is an homage to The Hudson Review, for whom she has served as an Advisory Editor for many years. As a philosopher, Emily Grosholz has written and thought about feminism, racism, and mathematics and science, which has led her to admire all the more the distinct wisdom of poetry. These essays show how poetry reorganized language and memory, eros and experience, and time and place, and how and why it deepens our understanding of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although readers of prose fiction sometimes find descriptive passages superfluous or boring, description itself is often the most important aspect of a poem. This book examines how a variety of contemporary poets use description in their work. Description has been the great burden of poetry. How do poets see the world? How do they look at it? What do they look for? Is description an end in itself, or a means of expressing desire? Ezra Pound demanded that a poem should represent the external world as objectively and directly as possible, and William Butler Yeats, in his introduction to The Oxford Book of Modern Verse (1936), said that he and his generation were rebelling against, inter alia, "irrelevant descriptions of nature" in the work of their predecessors. The poets in this book, however, who are distinct in many ways from one another, all observe the external world of nature or the reflected world of art, and make relevant poems out of their observations. This study deals with the crisp, elegant work of Charles Tomlinson, the swirling baroque poetry of Amy Clampitt, the metaphysical meditations of Charles Wright from a position in his backyard, the weather reports and landscapes of John Ashbery, and the "new way of looking" that Jorie Graham proposes to explore in her increasingly fragmented poems. All of these poets, plus others (Gary Snyder, Theodore Weiss, Irving Feldman, Richard Howard) who are dealt with more briefly, attend to what Wallace Stevens, in a memorable phrase, calls "the way things look each day." The ordinariness of daily reality is the beginning of the poets' own idiosyncratic, indeed unique, visions and styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world lurched, a sudden stop on a once-familiar path. In those disorienting moments, "Reflections in Verses" became my mirror, reflecting back the chaos and confusion. This second collection, "Reflections in Verses: A poetic look at the World", is an offering - a glimpse through a poet's eye at the unprecedented times we all endured. Fresh off exploring new continents in my first book, the pandemic held me captive, its claws digging into the heart of everything. These poems capture the emotional rollercoaster, the world morphing before our eyes, and the way we, as individuals, grappled with it all. Prepare to revisit those strange and transformative days, not with a dry recounting, but through the poignant language of verse. It's a space to acknowledge the shared struggle, the fear, the loss, but also the unexpected beauty that found a way to bloom in the cracks. Join me, William Same Gauthier, on this journey of reflection. Let's revisit those times together, using poetry's magic to weave a tapestry of individual experiences and insightful observations. It's a chance to heal, remember, and perhaps even find a flicker of hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reflections in Poetry" Reflections in Poetry was first thought about when I was working down in the Gulf of Mexico. Twelve hours a day five days a week I use to write during my lunch break or back at the motel. I put together some material in a legal pad and left everything in the Motel under the mattress. When I relocated back to Sumter, SC it was very hard getting started, with so many things on my mind. I asked God to give me the peace of mind that I needed to put my thoughts on paper. I stayed up one night until four in the morning writing. I needed that to get a lot of stuff off my chest and off my mind. I really enjoyed putting Reflections in Poetry together, it reflects on those that have passed on good people whose memories I'll always treasure and will never forget. Friends that I met over the years our paths crossed and we connected platonically. They inspired me in their own unique way to write about them in poetry. Reflections in Poetry are collections of treasured thoughts from my heart to yours. Enjoy Glenndell Chatmon

Book excerpt: A Defense of Poetry argues that literature can be defined - pragmatist and historicist arguments notwithstanding - and that in its definition its unique value can be discovered. In qualified opposition to the most sophisticated Formalist definitions involving redundancy or economy of expression, the author identifies literature ontologically as a sign of the preconceptual, as the "ostensive moment" that discloses neither the purpose nor the structure of existence but existence itself, revealed in its nonhuman register.

This desire is never fulfilled, and the gap between language and world worries and shapes each poem. FOSSILS IN THE MAKING presents poems as feedback loops, wagers, and proofs that register and reflect upon the nature of ecological crisis. They are always in the making and never made. Together these poems echo word and world, becoming and being. This book ushers forward a powerful and engaged new voice dedicated to unraveling the logic of poetry as an act of making in a world that is being unmade.

Book excerpt: Four Color Edition! More for You, in Volume Two, of Poetic Reflections and Songs of an Awakening Hu-man, along with their Prose Inspirational Backgrounds, offering Reading Pleasure, Food For Thought, and Space for the Reader's Own Reflections. Spark Your Own Creative Bent, By Sharing the Way The Poet's Life Went! "This is a Poetry book. It is not a scientific dissertation. Poets want to provoke, educate, awaken, feel, think, inspire, and reflect, so that their personal awakenings will help to encourage a universal awakening. ..., in the hope that we will all grow together into the awesome Promises and Possibilities that We ARE!""We live in an exciting kaleidoscopic age of discovery (both personal and collective) and technological advancement, and the pruning of those two branches of our life's tree will determine the quality of the fruit that we bear. It has been my experience, and my observation, that, as wonderful as the technological world is, it may be costing us our Hu-man-ness!" The Reader is encouraged to "Come apart before you come apart", because we Hu-mans have a basic need to pause, reflect, and connect to our real "Home" center. The Poet encourages us to give ourselves time to awaken to our own creative possibilities. Since creativity is contagious, The Poet shares thoughts, and poems, and songs in the hope that these moments together will prime the pump of the Reader's own innate Creative Genius! As The Poet states, "We really need each other, and the encouragement that our associations bring. So, as you read the everyday life's experiences that are shared, and your imagination begins to take flight, you can immediately use the space that has been provided in this book at the end of every "Reflection" to record your own "Reflections" and ideas, and creative musings. Everyone has a piece of this life's puzzle, and we need them all, YOURS AND MINE. The picture will not be complete until we have all contributed our part. Together we can fill our world with the order and beauty that we are all craving."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All life is precious, no matter what the reasoning; it should never be easy to harm another life. There is a difference between wishing harm on someone and causing harm to them. In life we are all uniquely valuable and to be robbed of that uniqueness is unacceptable. We all live in this world and we need to be more amicable to our fellow man. This world is not an easy place; the hardest thing for us to do is live here. Love must start somewhere and that is with us. Robin wants to express thoughts of love to inspire others. This is the mission of Robin Hosking’s poetry. If we love, we live. If we stop loving or turn away from the love offered to us, we die. Mother Earth I love you and provide for you with all that I have I nourish you with the food from my ground I hydrate you with my water From all of my lovely plants and trees, you are able to breathe I love it when you come out to visit with me and admire my many scenes When you swim in my lakes and streams, I really enjoy your company, But you are mistreating me….

Book excerpt: In the 21st century, writing is more important than at any other time in human history. Yet much of the emphasis in schooling has been on reading, and after the early years, writing skills have been given less attention. Internationally, too many children are leaving school without the writing skills they need to succeed in life. The evidence indicates that students rarely develop proficiency as writers without effective teacher instruction. Teaching Writing offers a comprehensive approach for the middle years of schooling, when the groundwork should be laid for the demanding writing tasks of senior school and the workplace. Teaching Writing outlines evidence-based principles of writing instruction for upper primary students and young adolescents. It presents strategies that are ready for adoption or adaptation, and exemplars to assist with designing and implementing writing lessons across the middle years of school. It addresses writing from a multimodal perspective while also highlighting the importance of teaching linguistic aspects of text design such as sentence structure, vocabulary and spelling as foundations for meaning-making. Contributors argue that students need to continue to develop their skills in both handwriting and keyboarding. Examples of the teaching of writing across disciplines are presented through a range of vignettes. Strategies for assessing student writing and for supporting students with diverse needs are also explored. With contributions from leading literacy educators, Teaching Writing is an invaluable resource for primary, secondary and pre-service teachers.
