Download or read book Silently She Burns and Other Poems written by Rajendra Nagdeve and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of the poems contained in this book is humanity. They speak about the ills - superstitions, social stratification, etc. - inherited from the past. They manifest the gloom of the present-day world, the craving for peace, and sometimes call for total demolition to set the stage for the birth of a new world order - a warless, peaceful world. In the Indian context, the poems advocate logical, rational, and scientific approaches to issues. The poems stress upon equality, justice, and fraternity to bring about the desired changes. Poems like ‘Night Falls’ and ‘Platform’ paint the picture of metro city life and the impact of urbanisation on rural and tribal areas. The poet’s fascination for ruins is reflected in some poems. It is more the mystique surrealism than the history of ruins that impresses him. The poems on nature are not the photographic narration of beauty. They contain harsh realities of the nature too, as in the poem, ‘Over Bhuj on Twelfth February’. ‘Silently She Burns’ and ‘Home Coming’ express the most delicate emotions of the human heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is great lyric poetry. Why? Because it profoundly moves one via the deep, verities of human-being. Embrace of the varieties of love, of death, fury at war, evil and horrific abuse; in wrenchingly evocative images via the richest prosody. High poetry. Song. I feel virtually sanctified having read this. This is canonical poetry, poetry that changes your life." STEVE GOLDMAN, author of THE CANON OF THE LONE RANGER "A lifetime of quiet work becomes audible in this superb collection. WALTZING UNDER THE BUDDHA'S SMILE deserves a spot on the shelf of contemporary poets whose best efforts will still be worth reading in mid-century."

Download or read book The Emergence of Buddhist American Literature written by John Whalen-Bridge and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2009-06-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The encounter between Buddhism and American literature has been a powerful one for both parties. While Buddhism fueled the Beat movement's resounding critique of the United States as a spiritually dead society, Beat writers and others have shaped how Buddhism has been presented to and perceived by a North American audience. Contributors to this volume explore how Asian influences have been adapted to American desires in literary works and Buddhist poetics, or how Buddhist practices emerge in literary works. Starting with early aesthetic theories of Ernest Fenollosa, made famous but also distorted by Ezra Pound, the book moves on to the countercultural voices associated with the Beat movement and its friends and heirs such as Ginsberg, Kerouac, Snyder, Giorno, Waldman, and Whalen. The volume also considers the work of contemporary American writers of color influenced by Buddhism, such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Charles Johnson, and Lan Cao. An interview with Kingston is included.

Download or read book One Hundred Buddhas written by Satyapal Anand and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culled from Buddhas own sermons, rare books, and manuscripts describing his life and times, this compendium of poetic monologues and dialogues is probably the only one in English that presents salient features of Buddhism of various shades. Satyapal Anand claims to be of the progeny of Anand, the senior most disciple and confidante of Buddha. Poetry and religion mix wonderfully, and Anands poems touch subjects such as ahimsa (nonviolence), sex, meat eating and self-defense. Some of the conventional view have been challenged and laid bare by Buddhas own words. Anands claim to authenticity is his poetic truth that he considers more reliable than mere books. These poems were first published in Urdu and were hailed as the first ever endeavor to present Buddhas teaching through the modern poetic idiom. To render topics like sex desire in young monks and meat eating if it was given as bhiksha (alms) were indeed controversial, but more so were Buddhas own lapses. Does he still feel lust for the other sex? asks Anand, and he replies in affirmative. Doesnt he have a guilty conscience in abandoning his wife and child? asks Anand, and Buddhas answer is still aye, but he defends it too. Is he going to get nirvana (freedom from the birth cycle) after this life? His answer is in the negative. He visualizes that he would be born as Jesus in his next birth and get nirvana only after he is crucified. So are some of his answers on the existence of God, hell or heaven, and whether or not this earth itself is either of these two. Having taught English and comparative literature in universities in India, England, Canada, and USA, Satyapal Anand now lives a secluded life in a suburb of Washington, DC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Emperor's Parrot inanimate objects and natural phenomena are given a voice in a very contemporary Aesopian manner in which metaphorisation is subverted from ornamental applications. Cultural politics and the politics of culture seem to lie under these poems in much the same way that they may be subtexts to fables such as The Emperor's New Clothes. Fable was and is a narrative mode of disguise.
