Book Synopsis Night Sky with Exit Wounds by : Ocean Vuong
Download or read book Night Sky with Exit Wounds written by Ocean Vuong and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Whiting Award One of Publishers Weekly's "Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2016" One of Lit Hub's "10 must-read poetry collections for April" “Reading Vuong is like watching a fish move: he manages the varied currents of English with muscled intuition. His poems are by turns graceful and wonderstruck. His lines are both long and short, his pose narrative and lyric, his diction formal and insouciant. From the outside, Vuong has fashioned a poetry of inclusion.”—The New Yorker "Night Sky with Exit Wounds establishes Vuong as a fierce new talent to be reckoned with...This book is a masterpiece that captures, with elegance, the raw sorrows and joys of human existence."—Buzzfeed's "Most Exciting New Books of 2016" "This original, sprightly wordsmith of tumbling pulsing phrases pushes poetry to a new level...A stunning introduction to a young poet who writes with both assurance and vulnerability. Visceral, tender and lyrical, fleet and agile, these poems unflinchingly face the legacies of violence and cultural displacement but they also assume a position of wonder before the world.”—2016 Whiting Award citation "Night Sky with Exit Wounds is the kind of book that soon becomes worn with love. You will want to crease every page to come back to it, to underline every other line because each word resonates with power."—LitHub "Vuong’s powerful voice explores passion, violence, history, identity—all with a tremendous humanity."—Slate “In his impressive debut collection, Vuong, a 2014 Ruth Lilly fellow, writes beauty into—and culls from—individual, familial, and historical traumas. Vuong exists as both observer and observed throughout the book as he explores deeply personal themes such as poverty, depression, queer sexuality, domestic abuse, and the various forms of violence inflicted on his family during the Vietnam War. Poems float and strike in equal measure as the poet strives to transform pain into clarity. Managing this balance becomes the crux of the collection, as when he writes, ‘Your father is only your father/ until one of you forgets. Like how the spine/ won’t remember its wings/ no matter how many times our knees/ kiss the pavement.’”—Publishers Weekly "What a treasure [Ocean Vuong] is to us. What a perfume he's crushed and rendered of his heart and soul. What a gift this book is."—Li-Young Lee Torso of Air Suppose you do change your life. & the body is more than a portion of night—sealed with bruises. Suppose you woke & found your shadow replaced by a black wolf. The boy, beautiful & gone. So you take the knife to the wall instead. You carve & carve until a coin of light appears & you get to look in, at last, on happiness. The eye staring back from the other side— waiting. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Ocean Vuong attended Brooklyn College. He is the author of two chapbooks as well as a full-length collection, Night Sky with Exit Wounds. A 2014 Ruth Lilly Fellow and winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, Ocean Vuong lives in New York City, New York.

Book Synopsis Falling From the Sky Without A Parachute by : Ernest Ottway Williams
Download or read book Falling From the Sky Without A Parachute written by Ernest Ottway Williams and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falling from the Sky without a Parachute is not a typical poetry book. Poetry must be relevant to the times in which one lives and serve an educative function. Reading Falling from the Sky will shed light on many things. One will learn that the poet is not just a manipulator of language, but has an obligation to educate the demos (people). Poetry must be composed in such a way to appeal to our common humanity. Nowadays, many people lament that poetry is too abstract, informal, peripheral, and incomprehensible. Many people are turned away from poetry, because they were not properly introduced to it in their studies. It is a travesty that many people believe that poetry is antiquated. I am confident that reading Falling from the Sky will dramatically change one’s conception of poetry for the better. Falling from the Sky cannot be judged by its title or cover alone. Read the book in its entirety. One cannot utilize a priori analysis with judging this book. One cannot understand the whole without understanding its parts. Like Aristotle, I believe that one must gain knowledge from one’s senses and real life experiences—this is a posterior analysis. By reading Falling from the Sky, one will understand the power of poetry, how atypical this poetry book is, and have a better understanding of the issues of our time. One will come away from reading Falling from the Sky with a fresh perspective on poetry and its uses. This book should find a place at the coffee shop, bookstore, college classroom, and in your home. Dear reader now is the time to engage this poetical text and discover what it means to fall from the sky without a parachute on. Dear reader, I hope that you find solace in these poems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story behind the classic and universally recognized rhyme! This luminous picture book biography shines a light on the little-known poet and author of the beloved lullaby. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Did you ever wonder who wrote that famous verse? In the days when most girls were brought up to run a home, Jane Taylor had a different kind of education in the English countryside, where she was inspired by nature and the stars, and dreamed of becoming a writer. But in the late 1700s, it was not considered proper for women to be writers. Jane and other female poets were shunned, unable to use their own names when published.But Jane did write, and she never forgot her love for the beauty of nature and the glow of stars, or her desire to write for children. Her published poetry became universally known for generations to come: Twinkle, twinkle little star. This lyrical and luminous biography shines a light on the unsung poet who wrote the words of our most enduring lullaby, and features stunning artwork reflecting the world, the stars, and the story behind the poem that we all know so well.
