Book Synopsis Crossing to Sunlight Revisited by : Paul Zimmer
Download or read book Crossing to Sunlight Revisited written by Paul Zimmer and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing to Sunlight Revisited offers both a retrospective and a current look at the work of Paul Zimmer. It contains twenty-three poems not included in Zimmer's previous career-spanning work, Crossing to Sunlight, or, as Zimmer writes, "a total of seventy-three poems, one for each of the years I have lived." When Crossing to Sunlight appeared in 1997, the Gettysburg Review described Zimmer as a poet who "invests language with the vitality of desire" and who "unlike many poets in his generation, has forgone stylistic complacency and continued to explore the possibilities inherent in language." Being a poet, says Zimmer, is "perhaps the only courageous thing I have done in my life." Here is a generous measure of that courage, of that body of work that once moved Robert Olen Butler to write, "I turn again and again to Zimmer's poetry to remind myself what the essence of all literary art is: the moment."

Book excerpt: Since prehistory, dogs have served as man's best friend, giving us loyalty, assistance and boundless inspiration. Dogs offer comfort and amusement to their owners; they provide solace when we're sad, entertaining antics when we're bored and affection every day. To poets in particular, these beloved creatures are the most bountiful muses, as they bark, yip, hunt, fetch, growl and slumber, reflecting back at us our most heartfelt tenderness and often rewarding us with unconditional love we scarcely deserve. Dog Poems offers a litter of verses in celebration of our most faithful companions by some of the greatest poets of all time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsome gift edition will appeal to anyone who is a dog lover, or a poet, or a poetry lover: in short, just about anyone Our canine companions offer us friendship, love, understanding, all unadulterated. They are our joyful playmates and our furry shoulders to cry on, from the cradle to the grave. This book brings together some of the finest poems on dogs by a range of poets from Diogenes to Dorothy Parker, from Chaucer to Clarice Lispector. Gertrude Stein once said, “I am I because my little dog knows me,” and this collection proves it: with their wit, their wisdom, and their delights, these poems—and the dogs that inspired them—hold up a mirror to our better selves. Whether exploding with the joy of a new puppy or mourning the loss of a tender lifelong friend, growling a critique at the more “civilized” habits of humans or simply spending a day in the life of a favorite pet, these poems offer something to dog lovers, poets, and poetry readers: in short, just about everyone.

Download or read book What Persists written by Judith Kitchen and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Persists contains eighteen of the nearly fifty essays on poetry that Judith Kitchen published in The Georgia Review over a twenty-five-year span. Coming at the genre from every possible angle, this celebrated critic discusses work by older and younger poets, most American but some foreign, and many of whom were not yet part of the contemporary canon. Her essays reveal a cultural history from the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, through 9/11 and the Iraq War, and move into today's political climate. They chronicle personal interests while they also make note of what was happening in contemporary poetry by revealing overall changes of taste, both in content and in the use of craft. Over time, they fashion a comprehensive overview of the contemporary literary scene. At its best, What Persists shows what a wide range of poetry is being written--by women, men, poets who celebrate their ethnicity, poets who show a fierce individualism, poets whose careers have soared, promising poets whose work has all but disappeared.

Book Synopsis The Sun will Rise Again (Second Edition) by : P. Sarangi
Download or read book The Sun will Rise Again (Second Edition) written by P. Sarangi and published by Prowess Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures some real-life scenarios where people bound by circumstances terminate their journey halfway. Being tired of failures, all their talents and aspirations get buried in the sands of time. Accepting it to be destiny’s cruel decision, they move from door to door with a begging bowl, desperately in search of a faint ray of hope: ‘Will the fortune ever smile on us?’ Some terrorists and trouble makers train and engage innocent boys in unlawful activities. The high sounding speech of the self-claimed servants of the people, on different occasions like Independence Day, Children’s Day, Martyrs’ Day, .. end up with some promises and assurances - far from reality. Dada Ji’s dream to change the lives of people around him and efforts to transform his vision into reality instil self-confidence among many. Rani Maa’s untiring people-friendly activities and handling critical issues fearlessly further encourage his efforts. In a war between two parties, it is not always the strength that brings victory. Strategy concurs over bravado as Shekhar’s decisions at crucial points helped him rise through ranks. Providing materialistic help to the needy is an earnest effort or a careless mistake. The focus should be to empower people, not to be needy again. Eliminate crime or criminal, an unconditional surrender of Wing Commander Mahesh narrates a different perspective to this. As Lord Krishna said to Arjuna on the 13th Day of the Mahabharata war, “Thou focus on the fight, leave the results to ‘Almighty Me’ ”. The book highlights characters keeping up the fight till the end to see through their own Karma’s fruits.

Book Synopsis Finding Dr. Livingstone by : Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi
Download or read book Finding Dr. Livingstone written by Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eye-opening perspective on Stanley’s expedition reveals new details about the Victorian explorer and his African crew on the brink of the colonial Scramble for Africa. In 1871, Welsh American journalist Henry M. Stanley traveled to Zanzibar in search of the “missing” Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone. A year later, Stanley emerged to announce that he had “found” and met with Livingstone on Lake Tanganyika. His alleged utterance there, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume,” was one of the most famous phrases of the nineteenth century, and Stanley’s book, How I Found Livingstone, became an international bestseller. In this fascinating volume Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and James L. Newman transcribe and annotate the entirety of Stanley’s documentation, making available for the first time in print a broader narrative of Stanley’s journey that includes never-before-seen primary source documents—worker contracts, vernacular plant names, maps, ruminations on life, lines of poetry, bills of lading—all scribbled in his field notebooks. Finding Dr. Livingstone is a crucial resource for those interested in exploration and colonization in the Victorian era, the scientific knowledge of the time, and the peoples and conditions of Tanzania prior to its colonization by Germany.
Book Synopsis The Poets [sic] Guide to the Birds by : Judith Kitchen
Download or read book The Poets [sic] Guide to the Birds written by Judith Kitchen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Ted Kooser was moving all his books from his shed to his new library, and in the process he was dipping into them. 'I've been coming up with a list of good bird poems,' he e-mailed. 'Can you think of any others?' Well, of course, there were the classics--by Hopkins, and Frost, and Bishop--but what else came to mind? I began to scan my own shelves. Just in our own collections (Ted's in Nebraska, mine in upstate New York), we unearthed over a thousand poems with birds as their focus (or at least their central image). It was clear from the sheer volume that birds have fuelled the poetic imagination, turning American poets into bird watchers of sorts, and so we conceived of this Poets Guide"--Judith Kitchen, from the Introduction.
