Download or read book War Stories written by Howard Nemerov and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-12-17 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Nemerov has written often about wars great and small, the overtly political and the deeply personal. But only with the passage of time, a heightening of technique and deepening of insight, has he been able to write from his experience in World War II as he does here, where historical past and personal history finally dovetail. From "The War in the Heavens" to "The War in the Streets," Nemerov chronicles with devastating grace the harrowing of life. "These new poems of Howard Nemerov are the poems of a master at his best. What is more, they are accessible. They speak out in a beautiful unclouded voice of the experience of a flyer of the Second World War. Although as 'war poems' they take their place among the best of that genre, they resonate far beyond their history with an arresting immediacy."—Karl Shapiro "Nemerov is the poet of our sanity, his the vision of the heroic ordinary. . . . Forty years after W. W. II, Nemerov's experiences in that war translate into timeless poetry. . . . Nemerov's poetry will outlast our generation: to read it now is to take part in something of ourselves and our world that will—and should—endure."—The Virginia Quarterly Review "Throughout all his verse, formal language sets up a proscenium, keeping sentiment at a distance. In this elegant theatre, he tells stories that always, first, are works of art."—Denise Low, Kansas City Star
Download or read book Wwii in Poetry written by Rhoda Monihan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WWII in Poetry tells veterans’ stories in poetry including my late father’s, who was a Spitfire pilot in the Nigeria Squadron. It says at the end, “For free speech,” and aims to explain the reason for this most awful and horrific war through the real daily experiences or battles in the life of the WWII service person. This is to recognize its legacy, which exists in infinite and pervasive ways, like our digital space at work, our political speeches, or in the way we meander down the street with our partners hand in hand, whatever the tradition or diversity. So part 1 details Pearl Harbor, part 2 depicts struggles in the air, part 3 describes life in the navy, and part 4 consists of general reflections on WWII. The photo gallery frames sixty-two color-enhanced photos of the famous 91 Squadron, better known as the Nigeria Squadron, and altogether, there is an awareness throughout of the power of knowing your technology by its nuts or calculations because as my dad said about his Spitfire, “It almost flew itself.”

Download or read book 1960 written by Al Filreis and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, when World War II might seem to have been receding into history, a number of artists and writers instead turned back to it. They chose to confront the unprecedented horror and mass killing of the war, searching for new creative and political possibilities after the conservatism of the 1950s in the long shadow of genocide. Al Filreis recasts 1960 as a turning point to offer a groundbreaking account of postwar culture. He examines an eclectic group of artistic, literary, and intellectual figures who strove to create a new language to reckon with the trauma of World War II and to imagine a new world. Filreis reflects on the belatedness of this response to the war and the Holocaust and shows how key works linked the legacies of fascism and antisemitism with American racism. In grappling with the memory of the war, he demonstrates, artists reclaimed the radical elements of modernism and brought forth original ideas about testimony to traumatic history. 1960 interweaves the lives and works of figures across high and popular culture—including Chinua Achebe, Hannah Arendt, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Paul Celan, John Coltrane, Frantz Fanon, Roberto Rossellini, Muriel Rukeyser, Rod Serling, and Louis Zukofsky—and considers art forms spanning poetry, fiction, memoir, film, painting, sculpture, teleplays, musical theater, and jazz. A deeply interdisciplinary cultural, literary, and intellectual history, this book also offers fresh perspective on the beginning of the 1960s.

Download or read book War Primer written by Bertolt Brecht and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A terrifying series of short poems by one of the world’s leading playwrights, set to images of World War II In this singular book written during World War Two, Bertolt Brecht presents a devastating visual and lyrical attack on war under modern capitalism. He takes photographs from newspapers and popular magazines, and adds short lapidary verses to each in a unique attempt to understand the truth of war using mass media. Pictures of catastrophic bombings, propaganda portraits of leading Nazis, scenes of unbearable tragedy on the battlefield — all these images contribute to an anthology of horror, from which Brecht’s perceptions are distilled in poems that are razor-sharp, angry and direct. The result is an outstanding literary memorial to World War Two and one of the most spontaneous, revealing and moving of Brecht’s works.
