Book Synopsis I've Heard the Vultures Singing by : Lucia Perillo
Download or read book I've Heard the Vultures Singing written by Lucia Perillo and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed poet and MacArthur Foundation Fellow, Lucia Perillo, a former park ranger who loved to hike the Cascade Mountains alone and prided herself on daring solo skis down the wild slopes of Mount Rainier, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when she was in her thirties. I've Heard the Vultures Singing is a clear-eyed and brazenly outspoken examination of her life as a person with disabilities. In unwavering and witty prose, and without a trace of self-pity, she contemplates the bitter ironies of being unable to walk, what it’s like to experience eros as a sick person, how to lower one’s expectations for a wilderness experience, and how to deal with the vagaries of a disease that has no predictable trajectory. Masterfully written, the essays resonate with lovers of literature and nature, and with anyone who has dealt with disadvantages of the body or the hard-luck limitations of ordinary life.

Book Synopsis Vulture in a Cage by : Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Download or read book Vulture in a Cage written by Solomon Ibn Gabirol and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vulture in a cage," Solomon Ibn Gabirol's own self-description, is an apt image for a poet who was obsessed with the impediments posed by the body and the material world to the realization of his spiritual ambition of elevating his soul to the empyrean. Ibn Gabirol's poetry is enormously influential, laying the groundwork for generations of Hebrew poets who follow him--rocky and harsh, full of original imagery and barbed wit, and yet no one surpassed him for the limpid beauty of his devotional verse. His poetry is at once a record of the inner life of a tormented poet and a monument to the Judeo-Arabic culture that produced him. This book contains the most extensive collection of Ibn Gabirol's poetry ever published in English.
Book Synopsis Under the Vulture-tree by : David Bottoms
Download or read book Under the Vulture-tree written by David Bottoms and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1987 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Penn Warren, in a recent introduction given at the Library of Congress, wrote that in the work of David Bottoms "we find a strong and original new poet. Underlying all his work is the simple and unusual conviction that the world we see is trying to tell us something." In the thirty new poems collected in Under the Vulture-Tree, the world speaks to David Bottoms in startling and disturbing ways. Again, with uncompromising realism, Bottoms explores the wilderness we thought we'd civilized, the wilderness the world proves daily is alive in the human heart. Unusual, often startling situations, coupled with the poet's powerful narrative voice, create a drama that is extraordinary in poetry today, but it is his rare talent for revealing the universal in the specific that makes his vision true witness to our common struggle.
Download or read book Sisyphusina written by Shira Dentz and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Art. Music. SISYPHUSINA is a cross-genre collection of prose, poetry, visual art, and improvisatory music, centered on female aging. Faced with linguistic and literary traditions that lack rich vocabularies to describe female aging, Shira Dentz uses the hybrid form as an attempt to suture new language that reflects internal and physical processes that constitute a shifting identity. By deviating from formal classical construction, and using the recurring image of a rose, SISYPHUSINA circles around conventions of beauty, questioning traditional aesthetic values of continuity, coherence, and symmetry. Some of the book's images are drawn from separate multimedia collaborations between the author and composer Pauline Oliveros, artist Kathy High, and artist Kathline Carr. A musical composition improvised by Pauline Oliveros, based on one of her text scores, titled "Aging Music," is the book's coda, and readers can listen to it online by scanning a QR code inside the book. The interweaving of these collaborations with the author's voice and voices from other sources imbue this book with a porous texture, and reimagines the boundary of the book as a membrane.

Book Synopsis The Vultures are Circling by : Sharon Waller Knutson
Download or read book The Vultures are Circling written by Sharon Waller Knutson and published by Cyberwit.Net. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Vultures are Circling, Sharon Waller Knutson invites the reader into her world with brave and buoyant poems revealing the intertwined value of family and nature. "Don't Tell the Kids, He Warns Me" humorously portrays that caring family can be a blessing but also a curse. This clan, like "herd animals," with one text from their father, "skid[s] to a stop and turn[s] around." Her poems about her late family members are especially moving. In "May 22, 2022," she "remove[s]/ all of his pictures from the wall/ and set[s] them in a circle/ like the family sat at the ceremony" to honor her son Ben on the first anniversary of his sudden death. She searches for the picture of "him looking so alive/ . . . / smiling as he stares at [her]." "Naomi and Wynona" is also poignant as she uses her memories of the Judds to mourn her parents who were fans of these singers. Even as the title poem reveals how traumatic Knutson's recent fall was, it still shows her as a survivor "crawling/ on . . . hands and knees, / towards safety," the vultures are more than a rueful metaphor; they are part of the Arizona desert she and her husband inhabit. In other poems, like the charming "Mr. Crow" and "Tis the Season," we see how close to nature the poet and her husband live. Indeed, in "Ultimate Feast," "a buck, / doe and fawn" are guests at their sunset picnic, drinking from "our waterfalls/pond." Similarly, the reader becomes a guest to the world of these wise poems. Marianne Szlyk, author of I Dream of Empathy (Flutter Press) The Other Side of the Window (Pski's Porch) and Why We Never Tried to Find the Elms (Poetry Pacific).

Book excerpt: "Readers will have the good fortune to experience poetry as art, game, joke, list, song, story, statement, question, memory. A primer like no other." — School Library Journal (starred review) In this splendid and playful volume — second of a trilogy — an acclaimed creative team presents examples of twenty-nine poetic forms, demonstrating not only the (sometimes bendable) rules of poetry, but also the spirit that brings these forms to life. Featuring poems from the likes of Eleanor Farjeon (aubade), X. J. Kennedy (elegy), Ogden Nash (couplet), Liz Rosenberg (pantoum), and William Shakespeare, the sonnet king himself, A Kick in the Head perfectly illustrates Robert Frost’s maxim that poetry without rules is like a tennis match without a net. Back matter includes notes on poetic forms.
