Download or read book A Wild Perfection written by James Wright and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2005-08-17 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and work of a major American poet described in his own words. "There is something about the very form and occasion of a letter--the possibility it offers, the chance to be as open and tentative and uncertain as one likes and also the chance to formulate certain ideas, very precisely--if one is lucky in one's thoughts," wrote James Wright, one of the great lyric poets of the last century, in a letter to a friend. A Wild Perfection is a compelling collection that captures the exhilarating and moving correspondence between Wright and his many friends. In letters to fellow poets Donald Hall, Theodore Roethke, Galway Kinnell, James Dickey, Mary Oliver, and Robert Bly, Wright explored subjects from his creative process to his struggles with depression and illness. A bright thread of wit, gallantry, and passion for describing his travels and his beloved natural world runs through these letters, which begin in 1946 in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, the hometown he would memorialize in verse, and end in New York City, where he lived for the last fourteen years of his life. Selected Letters is no less than an epistolary chronicle of a significant part of the midcentury American poetry renaissance, as well as the clearest biographical picture now available of a major American poet.

Download or read book Selected Poems written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a member of the Fireside Poets, a group of five nineteenth century American poets whose work elevated American poetry to a status equal to if not surpassing that of the English poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote some of the most famous poems in American literature. Included in this collection are many of his most well-loved poems, such as the iconic "Paul Revere's Ride", which relates the famous night time ride of Paul Revere to warn his compatriots of a British attack. "The Song of Hiawatha" is an epic and tragic tale of the Ojibwe warrior and his love for Minnehaha, a woman from the Dakota tribe. "Evangeline", arguably his most famous work, is the heartbreaking story of an Acadian girl who searches for her lost love Gabriel during the time of the Great Upheaval, which was the forced expulsion of native Acadian peoples by the British from areas of present-day Nova Scotia. Longfellow's poetry is notable for its lyricism and deals extensively with stories of mythology and legend. As arguably the most famous American poet of his time, Longfellow's writings afforded him great success and established a legacy that endures to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Download or read book Paterson written by William Carlos Williams and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long recognized as a masterpiece of modern American poetry, William Carlos Williams' Paterson is one man's testament and vision, "a humanist manifesto enacted in five books, a grammar to help us to live" (Denis Donoghue). Paterson is both a place - the New Jersey city near which Williams lived - and a man: the symbolic figure in whom the person (the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region) are combined. Originally four books (published individually between 1946 and 1951), the structure of Paterson (in Dr. Williams' words) "follows the course of the Passaic River, whose life seemed more and more to resemble my own: the river above the Falls, the catastrophe of the Falls itself, the river below the Falls and the entrance at the end into the great sea". Book Five, published in 1958, when the poet was seventy-five, affirms the triumphant life of the imagination, in spite of age and death. This edition has been completely re-edited by noted Williams scholar Christopher MacGowan of the College of William and Mary and, in addition to presenting the most authoritative text possible, contains invaluable notes identifying Williams' sources and references.

Download or read book May Swenson: Collected Poems (LOA #239) written by May Swenson and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often compared to the works of E.E. Cummings and Elizabeth Bishop, these poems are a free-ranging exploration of outer and inner worlds, of nature and the human mind In celebration of the centenary of May Swenson’s birth, The Library of America presents a one-volume edition of all of the poems that Swenson published in her lifetime—from her first collection Another Animal (1954) to the innovative shaped poems of Iconographs (1970) to her final work In Other Words (1987)—as well as a selection of previously uncollected work. The collection reveals the sweeping compass of Swenson’s curiosity: nature poems display her keen observation of wildlife; exuberant and erotic love poems celebrate beauty and passion; place poems record her travels to the American Southwest, France, and Italy and her residence in New York City and Sea Cliff, Long Island; verse “analyses” investigate baseball, wave motion, the DNA molecule, bronco busting, James Bond movies, and the first walk on the moon. Swenson was an inveterate reviser: poems in earlier volumes were frequently reworked for inclusion in later volumes, such as To Mix with Time (1963) and New and Selected Things Taking Place (1978). While preserving the order of publication, this volume presents the author’s final or definitive version. Substantive textual variants and title changes are detailed in the notes to the volume. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, was the first of the great American modernist poets."No poet ever understood loneliness and separateness better than Robinson," James Dickey has observed. Robinson's lyric poems illuminate the hearts and minds of the most unlikely subjects—the downtrodden, the bereft, and the misunderstood. Even while writing in meter and rhyme, he used everyday language with unprecedented power, wit, and sensitivity. With his keen understanding of ordinary people and a gift for harnessing the rhythms of conversational speech, Robinson created the vivid character portraits for which he is best known, among them "Aunt Imogen," "Isaac and Archibald," "Miniver Cheevy," and "Richard Cory." Most of his poems are set in the fictive Tilbury Town—based on his boyhood home of Gardiner, Maine—but his work reaches far beyond its particular locality in its focus on struggle and redemption in human experience.

Book excerpt: "An evocative poet, so good at his best that no one interested in poetry today should be ignorant of his work." --Anne Stevenson, Contemporary Poets of the English Language ..".I feel that Squires deserves consideration as one of the finest American poets writing today. ..one experiences a sense of excitement mixed with awe that one rarely gets with contemporary poetry." --Dana Gioia, Hudson Review ..". A great and extraordinary strength of Radcliffe Squires' poetry is the force and cogency of its design, concretely realized, poem by poem..." -- Brewster Ghiselin, The Sewanee Review ..". poems that are powerfully evocative ...a struggle for knowledge and insight in a world often mysteriously cruel... many of his best poems are unassumingly personal..." --David Mason, Oxford Companion to 20th Century Poetry "It is as though Mr. Squires had simply turned a corner in his mind and beheld an entirely new, more beautiful, and infinitely profounder field of interest..." -- James Dickey, The New York Times Book Review ..".he brings us to....the hidden spring of life. Thus he confounds our thoughtlessly held distinctions between life and death, spirit and matter." -Emily Grosholz, New England Review "I venture the guess that many of these poems must endure as long as English poems are read... when the time has had a chance to sift the chaff from the cliques Radcliffe Squires will come to be recognized as one of the most valid singers of life now at work among us." --John Ciardi, The Western Humanities Review

Book excerpt: "John Woods is a fine craftsman, with a large heart and just the right amount of bitterness. He is someone to listen to--carefully."--Gerald Stern "Shrewd, savage, tender, unpredictable, and invariably original poems, a valuable asset to American poetry."--Daivd Wagoner "From now on, I think, I will have among my most valued pieces of mental furniture the senator with a face like an old newel post. John Woods's poems are wonderfully generous with such moments of unforeseen rightness; I treasure his work, and am always looking for more of it."--Henry Taylor John Woods has attracted a great many faithful readers over the years, chief among them his fellow poets who recognize his voice as one of the most interesting in American poetry. James Wright, who avoided public commentary on his peers, wrote that Woods is "one of the four or five absolutely unmistakable first-rate American poets now alive." Black Marigolds, Woods's fourteenth book of poems, adds to his reputation as a poet's poet, an original talent who plays the English language with the skill and inspiration of a virtuoso. As with his earlier work, these new poems are charged with wit, surprising metaphors, odd and captivating expressions, and piercing observations of human nature. The title of this book comes from the second section, a series of poems that record the vicissitudes of love. In them, the sinewy language and the cynical observer so familiar to his readers is melded with a directness, passion, and vulnerability that is new in Woods's poetry. "To Bihana," the poem that inspired the title of the volume, ends with this taut, stricken wish (spoken to another poet): "Your poem saved you, as I hope this will save me. / I hope your woman stood with you / when you were shaken. I hope you studied her face / as though you picked one rose / to die with." John Woods is professor emeritus of English at Western Michigan University. His books of poetry include The Valley of Minor Animals and The Salt Stone: Selected Poems, and he has published poetry in such journals as Ploughshares, Poetry Northwest, Passages North, and New Virginia Review.

"Burt Kimmelman is a poet who trusts what is: the continuous autonomy of two people in a close marriage, the unalterable passage of time, the lies the mirror tells us, the comfort of 'simply living / among the objects of the day.' Yet, like the inimitable domestic scenes painted by Pierre Bonnard, Kimmelman's quiet poems contain the luminescence of perception, its lure, its beauty, its Zen of breath, tracing beauty in the pulse of the extant."—Star Black
