Book Synopsis Together in a Sudden Strangeness by : Alice Quinn
Download or read book Together in a Sudden Strangeness written by Alice Quinn and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this urgent outpouring of American voices, our poets speak to us as they shelter in place, addressing our collective fear, grief, and hope from eloquent and diverse individual perspectives. “One of the best books of poetry of the year . . . Quinn has accomplished something dizzying here: arranged a stellar cast of poets . . . It is what all anthologies must be: comprehensive, contradictory, stirring.” —The Millions **Featuring 107 poets, from A to Z—Julia Alvarez to Matthew Zapruder—with work in between by Jericho Brown, Billy Collins, Fanny Howe, Ada Limón, Sharon Olds, Tommy Orange, Claudia Rankine, Vijay Seshadri, and Jeffrey Yang** As the novel coronavirus and its devastating effects began to spread in the United States and around the world, Alice Quinn reached out to poets across the country to see if, and what, they were writing under quarantine. Moved and galvanized by the response, the onetime New Yorker poetry editor and recent former director of the Poetry Society of America began collecting the poems arriving in her inbox, assembling this various, intimate, and intricate portrait of our suddenly altered reality. In these pages, we find poets grieving for relatives they are separated from or recovering from illness themselves, attending to suddenly complicated household tasks or turning to literature for strength, considering the bravery of medical workers or working their own shifts at the hospital, and, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe, reflecting on the inequities in our society that amplify sorrow and demand our engagement. From fierce and resilient to wistful, darkly humorous, and emblematically reverent about the earth and the vulnerability of human beings in frightening times, the poems in this collection find the words to describe what can feel unspeakably difficult and strange, providing wisdom, companionship, and depths of feeling that enliven our spirits. A portion of the advance for this book was generously donated by Alice Quinn and the poets to Chefs for America, an organization helping feed communities in need across the country during the pandemic.
Book Synopsis The Great Realization by : Tomos Roberts (Tomfoolery)
Download or read book The Great Realization written by Tomos Roberts (Tomfoolery) and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When COVID-19 landed at our doorstep last spring, we collectively felt the heaviness of a global crisis not seen before in our lifetime. Schools shutdown, businesses closed down, borders sealed up, jobs became virtual, and we barricaded ourselves inside our homes waiting to be told that it's over. Waiting and watching the news. But then the news began spewing staggering numbers and heartbreaking images... hour by hour, day after day. Under the immense emotional toil, Tumkeen spent nights awake with anxiety and days tensing up every time she heard an ambulance siren speed down the road. It is then when she decided that she would transform the burden of living under a lockdown into a chance of leaning into gratitude and hope. And a challenge to herself was born. Tumkeen spent the next 30 days taking the troubles of her heart and turning them into lessons of healing and growth. She shared some of them but there was so much more going on in her heart. She began writing poetry as well. She compiled all of these reflections and poetry and decided to turn them into a book... her first book. A chance to seize the moment and not only grow personally but to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a published author, under the guidance of award-winning author Na'ima B Robert. Breathe - Reflections and Poetry from the 2020 Lockdown is a book that highlights the emotional journey of a mother surviving a pandemic lockdown with her family. From gratitude to fears, hope to stress, faith to worry. From appreciating brave souls who cared for sick ones to lonely ones who spent months distanced from the world. At a time when every breath counts, we are reminded of the blessing and healing that comes when we choose to breathe.

Book excerpt: What is preserved inside these pages is not just a collection of poetry and art, but a document of the phenomenon that will change the lives of the people of Earth for several generations to come. COVID anthologies are sprouting up everywhere and are soon to be common, but what the international magazine MahMag has accomplished in this particular collection is an up-front and personal view of the effects of quarantine, the fear of infection, and death affecting little children, grade school children, teenagers, adults, doctors, scientists, teachers, and people of all walks of life; told by everyone, not just practiced poets and artists. Some of these people were driven to create as a result of lockdown; what once were side hobbies have become integral forms of expression that help individuals grapple with the daily grim reality they witness outside their window, in the news, in stories brought home by their parents and family members, some who are working on the front lines. Readers will notice common themes emerging worldwide: The Earth has taken time to heal herself. Salute to healthcare workers. We did not take care of our planet before, but now we can begin in a new way. A view from my window. Looking forward to hugging again. Accounts from countries we do not hear enough from are collected in these pages. Opening this tome, you will now meet each of them for yourself. Poems composed in other languages have been translated into English. There are over 120 poets and about 100 artists from countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Philippines, Nigeria, Tanzania, Cameroon, Sri Lanka and more, so many more. Every frame of art has been mounted on the page in order to maximize viewing. Turn the book to see large-scale horizontals. You will find names you recognize and those whom you would never know otherwise. These people are your neighbors of Earth sharing this event with you. Everyone was touched by this Plague of 2020.By: Youssef Aloui

The many highlights include an original composition by John Corigliano that was premiered by Renée Fleming.
Download or read book Lockdown Lines written by Helen Davies and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 20th March 2020: the day the schools closed. Shortly after, the country went into lockdown and 'normal' life changed for all of us. The day the schools closed felt so strange; I decided to write a poem to record my thoughts. After all, I'm an English teacher- we're supposed to write aren't we?! More poems followed which I shared on social media, with friends and family. People liked them, cried or laughed after reading them and told me that reading my poetry was helping them get through the tough days. I gained a small army of followers and I soon found that writing a daily poem became a bit of an addiction! 'Lockdown Lines' contains personal poetry about my husband, my daughter, my parents and friends. It contains poetry about life during lockdown, from daily walks to Thursday nights clapping for the NHS. It contains lines which show my appreciation for nature and lines about needing a hair cut. What started out as a one-off, became 100 poems by 26th June 2020 (the day I decided to put my pen down and stop writing). Lockdown Lines is a record of history. It was my way of coping, a kind of therapy. It's a record for my two year old daughter to read. A memory full of rainbows.

Book Synopsis Love Poems in Quarantine by : Sarah Ruhl
Download or read book Love Poems in Quarantine written by Sarah Ruhl and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning, multi-genre writer grapples with the pandemic, death of George Floyd, and other crises of our times in gnomic poems written from inside the purgatory (and sudden revelations) of quarantine. Writing from and toward “the endless desire / to be at home in the world,” Sarah Ruhl wrote Love Poems in Quarantine to mark the passage of time when all familiar landmarks disappeared. From the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the murder of George Floyd, to months of simultaneous quarantine and protest, this is—in free verse and form, lamentation and meditation—a book of days, a survival kit for spiritual malady. These poems find small solace in domestic absurdities. Even in global crisis, there is the laundry. The dog rolls in something putrid, the child interrupts a Zoom meeting, and dinner must get made, again and again. Using language to travel and touch when bodies could not, Ruhl has drawn with great care a portrait of a year unlike any other in history.
Download or read book Unexhausted Time written by Emily Berry and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexhausted Time inhabits a world of dream and dawn, in which thoughts touch us 'like soft rain', and all the elements are brought closer in. Feelings, messages, symbols, visions . . . Emily Berry's latest collection takes shape in the half-light between the real and the imagined, where everything is lost and yet 'nothing goes away'. Here life's innumerable impressions, moods, seasons and déjà vus collect and disarrange themselves, while a glowing, companionable 'I' travels the mind's landscapes in hope of refuge and transformation amid these displaced moments in time. Whether one reads Unexhausted Time as a long poem to step into or a series of titled and untitled fragments to pick up and cherish, the work is healing and inspiring, always asking how we might harness the power of naming without losing life's 'magic unknownness'. By offering these intangible encounters, Emily Berry more truly presents 'what being alive is'. 'Emily Berry has a refreshingly free, not to say incendiary, approach to poetry.' Observer
