Download or read book Poetry's Afterlife written by Kevin Stein and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The great pleasure of this book is the writing itself. Not only is it free of academic and ‘lit-crit' jargon, it is lively prose, often deliciously witty or humorous, and utterly contemporary. Poetry's Afterlife has terrific classroom potential, from elementary school teachers seeking to inspire creativity in their students, to graduate students in MFA programs, to working poets who struggle with the aesthetic dilemmas Stein elucidates, and to teachers of poetry on any level." --- Beckian Fritz Goldberg, Arizona State University "Kevin Stein is the most astute poet-critic of his generation, and this is a crucial book, confronting the most vexing issues which poetry faces in a new century." ---David Wojahn, Virginia Commonwealth University At a time when most commentators fixate on American poetry's supposed "death," Kevin Stein's Poetry's Afterlife instead proposes the vitality of its aesthetic hereafter. The essays of Poetry's Afterlife blend memoir, scholarship, and personal essay to survey the current poetry scene, trace how we arrived here, and suggest where poetry is headed in our increasingly digital culture. The result is a book both fetchingly insightful and accessible. Poetry's spirited afterlife has come despite, or perhaps because of, two decades of commentary diagnosing American poetry as moribund if not already deceased. With his 2003 appointment as Illinois Poet Laureate and his forays into public libraries and schools, Stein has discovered that poetry has not given up its literary ghost. For a fated art supposedly pushing up aesthetic daisies, poetry these days is up and about in the streets, schools, and universities, and online in new and compelling digital forms. It flourishes among the people in a lively if curious underground existence largely overlooked by national media. It's this second life, or better, Poetry's Afterlife, that his book examines and celebrates. Kevin Stein is Caterpillar Professor of English and Director of the Creative Writing Program at Bradley University and has served as Illinois Poet Laureate since 2003, having assumed the position formerly held by Gwendolyn Brooks and Carl Sandburg. He is the author of numerous books of poetry and criticism. digitalculturebooksis an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.

Download or read book Just in written by Ed Roberson and published by Talisman House Pub. This book was released on 1998 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. African American Studies. Michael Palmer writes, "Ed Roberson offers us, up front, the nerve-edge of poetic speech, sequences of the unanticipated, as poetry of real significance is meant to do. This generous and much-needed selection graphs the development of a poet committed to the articulation of a resistant, multi-faceted identity. It should affirm his place, at last, as one of the most deeply innovative and critically acute voices of our time." JUST IN: WORD OF NAVIGATIONAL CHALLENGES is a chronicle of Roberson's works from 1970 to the present, marked throughout by a language derived from the rhythms of speech and the natural world: see in the river the ripples' / picture on the surface of the wind the lifting of the image / has taken at the deeper face // the starry freedom / written in the milky rivery line...

Book Synopsis The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks by : Gwendolyn Brooks
Download or read book The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks written by Gwendolyn Brooks and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2005-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the most enduring works of the legendary poet and first black author to win a Pulitzer Prize—now in one collectible volume “If you wanted a poem,” wrote Gwendolyn Brooks, “you only had to look out of a window. There was material always, walking or running, fighting or screaming or singing.” From the life of Chicago’s South Side she made a forceful and passionate poetry that fused Modernist aesthetics with African-American cultural tradition, a poetry that registered the life of the streets and the upheavals of the 20th century. Starting with A Street in Bronzeville (1945), her epoch-making debut volume, The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks traces the full arc of her career in all its ambitious scope and unexpected stylistic shifts. “Her formal range,” writes editor Elizabeth Alexander, “is most impressive, as she experiments with sonnets, ballads, spirituals, blues, full and off-rhymes. She is nothing short of a technical virtuoso.” That technical virtuosity was matched by a restless curiosity about the life around her in all its explosive variety. By turns compassionate, angry, satiric, and psychologically penetrating, Gwendolyn Brooks’ poetry retains its power to move and surprise. About the American Poets Project Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today’s most discerning poets and critics.

Book Synopsis Countee Cullen: Collected Poems by : Countee Cullen
Download or read book Countee Cullen: Collected Poems written by Countee Cullen and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major and sometimes controversial figure of the Harlem Renaissance, Countee Cullen fused a mastery of the formal lyric with a passionate engagement with themes social, religious, racial, and personal in such books as "Color, Copper Sun," and "The Black Christ."

Download or read book Cow Republic written by Anthony Michael and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cow Republic introduces a personal voice which explores the interplays between traditional formalism and contemporary styles and themes. The collection features themes of the African experience, as well as the clash between the modern and traditional worlds, as references to Google and Coca-Cola appear alongside stories involving the violence of slavery or industry against traditional cultures. Some of the poems which most prominently display these features combine form and content in ways that are traditional but at the same time present intriguing avenues for exploration of what it means to come from a place that is at once historic and contemporary, beautiful and ugly. While typically simple on the surface in terms of structures, narratives, and diction, many of the poems are far more complex than they might initially appear. Flexibility with styles and technique do not interfere with the poetic voice, which remains constant throughout. The subtleties of theme and variation in content and style in poems such as "Nigeria for Sale", "Wake Up Africa", and "Who Are They?" should not be mistaken for lack of imagination, but rather viewed as a sensitive and clever manipulation of stanza, diction, and theme to express ideas that are both highly personal and emotional, and also visual and global. Straightforward yet thought-provoking, with a style at the same time minimalist and complex, this collection offers its reader a dynamic experience, shifting between emotions, values, and cultures, all the while maintaining the integrity of the poetic voice and meaning.
Book Synopsis Naming the Unnameable by : Michelle Bonzcek Evory
Download or read book Naming the Unnameable written by Michelle Bonzcek Evory and published by Open Suny Textbooks. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naming the Unnameable: An Approach to Poetry for the New Generation assembles a wide range of poetry from contemporary poets, along with history, advice, and guidance on the craft of poetry. Informed by a consideration to the psychology of invention, Michelle Bonczek Evory¿s writing philosophy emphasizes both spontaneity and discipline, teaching students how to capture the chaos in our memories, imagination, and bodies with language, and discovering ways to mold them into their own cosmos, sculpt them like clay on a page. Exercises aim to make writing a form of play in its early stages that gives way to more enriching insights through revision, embracing the writing of poetry as both a love of language and a tool that enables us to explore ourselves and understand the world. Naming the Unnameable promotes an understanding of poetry as a living art and provides ways for students to involve themselves in the growing contemporary poetry community that thrives in America today.

She is optimistic in her quest for dignity for all life, and brings visual impact to her themes of nature. Frost of Spring Green will also be available in international bilingual editions.
