Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Davie's poems are here arranged chronologically from the 1950s to the beginning of the 1990s. Taken together, the poems display that reverence for the distinctive qualities of the English language which has earned him a name as one of Britain's finest living poets. "Davie's voice—judgemental, ironic, epigrammatic, humorous, self-lacerating—speaks always with reference to an unhuman perpendicular standard that itself goes unquestioned. It is not a standard of Beauty or Truth; Davie is a poet of the third member of the Platonic triad, Justice."—Helen Vendler, The New Yorker "[Davie's poems] are on the quiet side, often casual and musing in mood and tone; determined to resist large gestures of assent or denial. . .Donald Davie may just be the best English poet-critic of our time."—William Pritchard, The New Republic "Donald Davie's Collected Poems does more than mark the culmination of one of the most distinguished careers in post-war British poetry; it is the autobiographical journey of a living poet at the height of his creative powers and the mastery of his craft. Davie is considered the most important and valuable contemporary link between poetry in England and America."—Sarah E. McNeil, Little Rock Free Press

Book excerpt: História de um primata brasileiro, não catalogado, natural de Manacapuru, Amazonas. Se exila voluntariamente da selva amazonica para conhecer e vivenciar a sociedade dos homens, o "bicho equilibrista", como ele os chama a princípio. Algum dos leitores, poderá, descobrir nas entrelinhas, outras histórias, tal como numa noite escura de tempestade, pode-se ver, num lapso de segundos, um mundo de coisas, no exato momento em que o clarão antecede o trovoar. Uma destas histórias achadas poderá ser análoga a sua: Alguém que veio ao mundo, por curiosidade, e está segurando uma brasa viva com o intuito de reconhecer o signigicado do queimor... Phillape mora no seio da floresta amazonica, um lugar aprazível, um paraíso. Certo dia aparece um alienígina no seu hábitat. Ele era um animal bípide; uma aberração. Os colegas, apavorados, valendo-se das prerrogativas de sobrevivência, fogem sem ao menos ver a pele do estranho. A partir daquele momento, num mixto de coragem e curiosidade, eclode na cabeça do Phillape o fator responsável por uma alteração na vida dele: isolaa-se da "alma grupal" para se tornar um "alma individual". De cima de uma seringueira, tal qual um cientista etológico, estonteado, observa todos os movimentos e atitudes absurdos de um garimpeiro... Phillape conclui que precisa evoluir-se ao nível daquele bicho - modelo e prototipo a seguido.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “On the High Wire is fascinating to read. You will learn about the man, his work, his passion, his tenacity and lucidity” (Marcel Marceau) In this poetic handbook, written when he was just twenty-three, the world-famous high-wire artist Philippe Petit offers a window into the world of his craft. Petit masterfully explains how preparation and self-control contributed to such feats as walking between the towers of Notre Dame and the World Trade Center. Addressing such topics as the rigging of the wire, the walker’s first steps, his salute and exercises, and the work of other renowned high-wire artists, Petit offers us a book about the ecstasy of conquering our fears and reaching for the stars.

Download or read book Collected Critical Writings written by Geoffrey Hill and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Critical Writings gathers more than forty years of Hill's published criticism, in a revised final form, and also adds much new work. It will serve as the canonical volume of criticism by Hill, the pre-eminent poet-critic whom A. N. Wilson has called "probably the best writer alive, in verse or in prose." In his criticism Hill ranges widely, investigating both poets (including Jonson, Dryden, Hopkins, Whitman, Eliot, and Yeats ) and prose writers (such as Tyndale, Clarendon, Hobbes, Burton, Emerson, and F. H. Bradley). He is also steeped in the historical context - political, poetic, and religious - of the writers he studies. Most importantly, he brings texts and contexts into new and telling relations, neither reducing texts to the circumstances of their utterance nor imagining that they can float free of them. A number of the essays have already established themselves as essential reading on particular subjects, such as his analysis of Vaughan's "The Night", his discussion of Gurney's poetry, and his critical account of The Oxford English Dictionary. Others confront the problems of language and the nature of value directly, as in "Our Word is Our Bond", "Language, Suffering, and Value", and "Poetry and Value". In all his criticism, Hill reveals literature to be an essential arena of civic intelligence.
