Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pelican Island, and Other Poems The examination of a coral reef during the different stages of one tide, is particularly in teresting. When the tide has left it for some time it becomes dry, and appears to be a com pact rock, exceedingly hard and ragged; but as the tide rises, and the waves begin to wash over it, the coral worms protrude themselves from holes which before were invisible. These animals are of a great variety Of shapes and sizes, and in such prodigious numbers, that, in a short time, the whole surface Of the rock appears to be alive and in motion. The most common worm is in the form Of a star, with arms from four to six inches long, which are moved abolit with a rapid motion in all direc tions, probably to catch food. Others are sosluggish, that they may be mistaken for pieces Of the rock, and are generally Of a dark colour, and from four to five inches long, and two or three round. When the coral is broken about high-water mark, it is a solid hard stone; but if any part Of it be detached at a spot which the tide reaches every day, it is found to be full Of worms Of different lengths and colours, some being as fine as a thread and several feet long, Of a bright yellow, and sometimes Of a blue colour; others resemble snails, and some are not unlike lobsters in shape, but soft, and not above two inches long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.

Book excerpt: 'The best of all Montgomery's poems: in idea the most original, in execution the most powerful...' Blackwood's Magazine South Australia's exquisite natural gem, Kangaroo Island, has been inspiring locals for well over a century, and is now beginning to develop a formidable international reputation. It is rarely known, however, that its earliest mention in the annals of Matthew Flinders' voyages published two centuries ago, in 1814, sowed a seed of inspiration for one of the early nineteenth century's most popular poets. James Montgomery, acclaimed by Lord Byron as 'a man of considerable genius, ' had a successful career spanning several decades, and huge popularity with the British public. He fought for the era's noble causes in his verse, including most notably the abolition of slavery in The West Indies, and the improvement of the conditions of chimney-sweeps in The Climbing-Boys' Soliloquies. Popular also because he was a poet of great tenderness and openness of thought, he was interested in all of the new scientific discoveries of his times, its politics great and small, and in the beliefs that underpinned what he saw as the best of humanity. In 1827, as his career reached its zenith, he produced one last long poem, destined to be the crowning glory. Summoning up all the extraordinary energies of a reformer with all the vision of a poet, he embarked upon The Pelican Island. Presented to us by a kind of recording angel or spirit, it is a narrative of nature's incredible powers of creation and destruction, of wild seas and teeming scenes, as an island grows from nothing, is peopled by all manner of plants and creatures, is wiped out by a hurricane, and then reforms in a different shape. Inspired by Flinders' mention of the islets in what is now known as Pelican Lagoon on Kangaroo Island, he portrays his island becoming a home-place for pelicans, where they come to nest and bring up young, and also where they come back to die. Later, humans come to his island and the story changes, reflecting Montgomery's concerns about our power and brutishness, and also what he saw as our necessary enlightenment and resort to belief. In towering language and powerful phrasing, he creates a broodingly rhythmic and driving tour-de-force, marrying intensity of thought and colour with great philosophical scope and humanity.

"Emily O'Neill's extraordinary PELICAN begins with a father's death and spins into a breathless dream- fugue of teeth & loss & apples & oceans. Reaching into the mouth of the PELICAN or Jaws of a whale to discover some kind of posthumous truth ('here's your daughter, PELICAN / come & bleed now, quiet / while I fish in your throat for it') becomes the book's trajectory-'for growing into my anger, / for wearing it like a gown.' Ranging from heart-wrenching poignancy ('The last man who gave me / flowers will never meet the first') to jaw-dropping comprehension ('I'm still stupid as the day / I fumbled my chopsticks into the Udon and it's true / that nothing I've eaten since the spring when we were starved / knives sharpening each other tastes quite rich enough'), O'Neill's debut collection is an irrepressible wave that mixes & throws everything back at our feet, ripped & raw & real."--Bruce Covey "Emily O'Neill's poems herald an absence so present that it can only be humanly known as loss... the kind of loss that leads to grief, shown to us with lines as ferocious as 'I dare / the dark to eat me fiercely' and 'If I could, I'd tell the story with silence' and 'bored with stillness, / uncatchable as / a breaking wave.' But this is not the poetry of lack. Through naming and claiming these absences, this brilliant book makes known the possibility for transformation: 'a rabbit crushed // into a bottomless satin hat. / Now, you see it. Now, it's hope.'"--Jericho Brown
