Book Synopsis The Experimentalists by : Joseph Darlington
Download or read book The Experimentalists written by Joseph Darlington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Experimentalists is a collective biography, capturing the life and times of the British experimental writers of the swinging 1960s. A decade of research, including as-yet unopened archives and interviews with the writers' colleagues, is brought together to produce a comprehensive history of this ill-starred group of renegade writers. Whether the bolshie B.S. Johnson, the globetrotting Ann Quin, the cerebral Christine Brooke-Rose, or the omnipresent Anthony Burgess, these writers each brought their own unique contributions to literature at a time uniquely open to their iconoclastic message. The journey connects historical moments from Bletchley Park, to Paris May '68, to terrorist groups of the 1970s. A tale of love, loss, friendship and a shared vision, this book is a fascinating insight into a bold, provocative and influential group of writers whose collective story has gone untold, until now.
Download or read book Poems, 1957–1967 written by James Dickey and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1967-06-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic poems from a famous American poet This volume represents, under one cover, the major work of the man whom critics and readers have designated the authentic poet of his American generation. For this collection, James Dickey has selected from his four published books all those poems that reflect his truest interests and his growth as an artist. He has added more than a score of new poems—in effect, a new book in themselves—that have not previously been published in volume form. Specifically, Poems 1957-1967 contains 15 of the 24 poems that were included in his first book, Into the Stone (1960); 25 of the 36 that made up Drowning With Others (1962); 22 of the 24 in Helmets (1964); the entire 22 in the National Book Award winner Buckdancer's Choice (1965); and, under the titles Sermon and Falling, the exciting new poems mentioned above. Seldom can the word "great" be used of the work of a contemporary in any art. But surely it applies to the poems of James Dickey.

Book Synopsis Collected Poems, 1954-2004 by : Irving Feldman
Download or read book Collected Poems, 1954-2004 written by Irving Feldman and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irving Feldman is a master chronicler of our collective experience and an overlooked treasure of American poetry. Feldman’s rich body of work exhibits his mastery of language from the biblical to the conversational, his Yiddish flair for the comic, his profound social insight and lucidity. He writes about everything from the Coney Island days of his childhood and his bohemian years in postwar New York to the art of Picasso and George Segal, from the Holocaust to its aftermath—in narrative and dramatic poems and personal lyrics that are by turns ardent, witty, biting, ecstatic, and heartbreaking. Long a favorite among his fellow poets (John Hollander has called his work “amazing in its moral intensity”), Feldman has remained true to the soul’s deepest callings: I have questioned myself aloud at night in a voice I did not recognize, hurried and disobedient, hardly brighter. What have I kept? Nothing. Not bread or the bread-word. What have I offered? Rebel in the kingdom, my gift has wanted a grace. This glorious gathering of poems displays Feldman’s entire career in all its variety and passion, and confirms his place among the great poets of our time.

Book Synopsis Layered Horizons by : Yvonne de Miranda
Download or read book Layered Horizons written by Yvonne de Miranda and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTHOR'S STATEMENT When I was three years old, I went to a Montessori School in Amsterdam, Holland, the city where I lived for the first 6 plus years of my life. In class, I remember being told to go out to the garden, sit there alone, and write down what I saw outside. As I reflect back on this, I realize what a rich and challenging childhood it was. It is more than rare that a child will be asked to write' anything at that age. I do remember the experience acutely, and I did write about the garden and the things I saw. Perhaps this, and the later pleasures of discovering word-art that were sparked, made the act of writing as natural to me as speaking was. I can still see that little piece of lined paper, with my words on it. It was in my writing files for many adult years; but somewhere in the moves from state to state, city to city in the U.S.A., part of those files were lost, and along with them, that one essential symbol of my early love affair with words. Because that first attempt led to many more all through childhood, by the time I was 10, verses of rhyme were pouring out. There has always been a resonance for me between writing and painting. Each expresses an aspect of what I know myself to be. Each reflects a perception of the world expressed in a way that cannot be substituted with another art form. Although the poetry was not put out in the world because of its personal nature, it allowed me to crystallize the events and feelings of intense experiences. It was a passion. I could feel a poem coming on' and would sit down to write without thinking, often finding the whole poem done' from start to finish, without pause at any point. This could and did occur in the middle of the night, out of a deep sleep. Of course as I matured, there were also great struggles involved, and even those poems which flowed out so easily were reworked and honed, sometimes for months even years. Parallel to this word-addiction was a love of drawing and painting, which started to accelerate in my early teens. Eventually, I would find myself stuck in matters of draftsmanship, and in need of specific, outside disciplines in the visual arts. So it was no surprise to anyone that my first choice at U.C.L.A. was a major in art and a degree in that field; although I suspect that secretly my parents would have preferred a choice more demanding of traditionally intellectual endeavors. I'm certain they were happy when I received my Masters and then my PhD in clinical psychology at a much later date. Arieti Sylvano says in his book "Creativity: The Magic Synthesis", that the arts in all forms (as well as the sciences) originate in what he terms the "endocept" or "amorphous cognition" which is the "nonrepresentational activity of the psyche". This is not to say the mind remains uninvolved in the act of making fine art; quite the contrary. A developed ability to conceptualize is required in all the fine arts; otherwise the results are generalized, unoriginal, or formularized. Formal problem solving, as well, is an ever present requirement. However, it is possible to accomplish a great part of the work in what I would term an altered' state. Much of it is like a meditation. All parts of the process will vary from artist to artist, of course. Most of my own work in the studio manifests as a joyous perception, while much of my writing focuses, without clear intention, on the melancholy, the painful, the darker dreams, the ambience of anxiety, the inevitability of loss. The writing probably has roots in a once-happy six year old who was jolted out of safety, traumatically relocated in a new country because of an impending war, and who never saw her grandparents again because those dear people were swallowed up in WWII's monstrosities. Poetry has far less of a place in the world today than even fifty years

Book Synopsis The FSG Poetry Anthology by : Jonathan Galassi
Download or read book The FSG Poetry Anthology written by Jonathan Galassi and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To honor FSG's 75th anniversary, here is a unique anthology celebrating the riches and variety of its poetry list—past, present, and future Poetry has been at the heart of Farrar, Straus and Giroux's identity ever since Robert Giroux joined the fledgling company in the mid-1950s, soon bringing T. S. Eliot, John Berryman, Robert Lowell, and Elizabeth Bishop onto the list. These extraordinary poets and their successors have been essential in helping define FSG as a publishing house with a unique place in American letters. The FSG Poetry Anthology includes work by almost all of the more than one hundred twenty-five poets whom FSG has published in its seventy-five-year history. Giroux's first generation was augmented by a group of international figures (and Nobel laureates), including Pablo Neruda, Nelly Sachs, Derek Walcott, Seamus Heaney, and Joseph Brodsky. Over time the list expanded to includes poets as diverse as Yehuda Amichai, John Ashbery, Frank Bidart, Louise Glück, Thom Gunn, Ted Hughes, Yusef Komunyakaa, Mina Loy, Marianne Moore, Paul Muldoon, Les Murray, Grace Paley, Carl Phillips, Gjertrud Schnackenberg, James Schuyler, C. K. Williams, Charles Wright, James Wright, and Adam Zagajewski. Today, Henri Cole, francine j. harris, Ishion Hutchinson, Maureen N. McLane, Ange Mlinko, Valzhyna Mort, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, and Frederick Seidel are among the poets who are continuing FSG's tradition as a discoverer and promoter of the most vital and distinguished contemporary voices. This anthology is a wide-ranging showcase of some of the best poems published in America over the past three generations. It is also a sounding of poetry's present and future.

J. Kates is a poet, literary translator, and the president and co-director of Zephyr Press.

Book Synopsis The Collected Poems by : Sylvia Plath
Download or read book The Collected Poems written by Sylvia Plath and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath’s complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes. By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn’t get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but—after 1956—all she wrote. — Ted Hughes, from the Introduction
