Download or read book And Still I Rise written by Maya Angelou and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters. Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Thus begins “Phenomenal Woman,” just one of the beloved poems collected here in Maya Angelou’s third book of verse. These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh—and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still I Rise is written from the heart, a celebration of life as only Maya Angelou has discovered it. “It is true poetry she is writing,” M.F.K. Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity. . . . It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night . . . it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”

Book Synopsis Inspirational Poems from A Contemporary Woman by : Alfrieda Hylton
Download or read book Inspirational Poems from A Contemporary Woman written by Alfrieda Hylton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She is more special than any of you may imagine! Down deep, you may sense it, too! Who is she? Alfrieda Hylton is an African American native born in Washington, DC and raised in a small town called Dumfries, Virginia. Both of her parents are deceased. She is the third oldest of nine children and eight of them are still living. She has been married twice and divorced twice. She also has four sons living. God had a plan for her to find her way back to Him! In 2008, God inspired her to write poetry about her life-learning lessons, challenges, setbacks, and heartaches that she experienced and suppressed for many years. Her very essence of being is to inspire and be a blessing to others through her poetry; because we so often hold back our bad experiences and don’t resolve the very things that haunt us. Those devastating scars etched into your memory we shun away from are known as: anger, blame, humiliation, abuse, addiction, and fear. No matter what happen and appeared as failure, Happiness kept her delightful, trials kept her strong, sorrows kept her human, failures kept her humble, success kept her glowing, and God kept her going to win the good fight victoriously. One of her famous quote’s by Bernice Johnson Reagon, "Life ́s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they are supposed to help you discover who you are."
Book Synopsis Girl, Don't Give Up by : Alicia Rosebud
Download or read book Girl, Don't Give Up written by Alicia Rosebud and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This poetry book is a huge collaboration and a living work with incredible women from all over the world meant to encourage and inspire anyone who reads it- to just- NOT GIVE UP. For this women empowerment project, I reached out to women who I thought were inspiring and asked them to submit a photo of themselves and a story about something traumatic they have overcome in their lifetime. I used their photo for the book and I turned their story into the inspiration behind the poem written next to their photo. I hope that with each poem I can inspire the women they are written for, and so many more women who might be going through something similar. You see, I always felt like I was a victim growing up. I had a really hard childhood and I had to learn to grow up early. My mother abandoned us, my father did his best but lived pay check to pay check and I just always felt so sorry for myself. One day my Bub (grandmother), sat me down and explained to me that everyone has their own story. She really broke it down to me and told me that everyone has things that they go through and grow through in their lives in order to become the person that they are meant to be. She taught me empathy. To instill it, she decided to take me to the library to read some really inspiring stories so that I didn't feel so alone. The first book I took out was a book about the life of Maya Angelou. Her story inspired me to start writing and truly helped me to become the strong person I am today. Quotes, poetry, and lyrics have always carried me through my darkest days and I do hope that with this book, we can inspire you to become a survivor instead of a victim like my Grandmother and Maya Angelou did for me. Visit us online at GirlDontGiveUp.com to submit a photo of yourself and your story to be featured in an upcoming edition of this living work.

Book excerpt: love poems Whether you're searching for words to express a romantic love or a lovely friend ship, or a love that's painful and complex, I have written a selection of popular love poems for you to choose from, from the classic to the contemporary. What better way to express one’s feelings of love than through reading and sharing a poem? Kinds of poetry La poesia narrativa, la poesia drammatica e la poesia lirica e le loro principali differenze e caratteristiche descritte in lingua inglese Slippers di Slippers Genius 13293 punt Studiare meno e avere bei voti: scopri come! Kinds of poetry There are three main kinds of poetry: narrative, dramatic and lyrical. It is not always possible to make distinction between them. For example, an epic poem can contain lyrical passages, or lyrical poem can contain narrative parts. Narrative poetry Is the kind of poetry which tells a story. Typical are the epic, the tale in verse, the romance. The ballad can also be included into narrative poetry because it contains a story. The epic poem The hero of epic poem is a special man endowed with physical strength, leadership, who respects a nation or race, and performs superhuman deeds. The dominant tone is heroic. The poem style is elevated, stylized, formal. The primary epic was based on the oral traditions of a country – see the Iliad and Odyssey. The major Anglo-Saxon example is Beowulf. The literary or secondary epic was modeled on the primary epic, and was the work of a learned, refined writer. Examples are Virgil’s Aeneid and, in Englang, John Milton’s Paradise Lost. The commonest metre of the epic blank verse (unrhythm iambic pentametre). The solemnity and seriousness of the epic led, almost inevitably, to parody and burlesque. This is how mock-heroic or mock-epic poetry was born. One of the best examples in English is Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock. The tale in verse Narrative in verse was very popular during the Renaissance, and met great favour again in the Romantic period thanks to Walter Scott, who started his career as a poet, and George Byron. The romance The medieval romance was a tale in verse dealing with chivalry and love. Edmund Spencer’s Faerie Queene and Alfred Tennyson’s Idylls of the king are modeled on the medieval chivaltric romance. Dramatic poetry The word “drama” implies one or more characters and action. Dramatic poetry aims at involving the reader in an experience or situation, and creates tension, immediacy, expectation, conflict. The speakers act out roles and therefore must not be identified with the poet. Many of John Donne’s lyrics represent vivid examples of dramatic poetry. When one speaker only is involved and the poem is his/hers speech, we have the dramatic monologue.

Book Synopsis The Rain in Portugal by : Billy Collins
Download or read book The Rain in Portugal written by Billy Collins and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him “America’s favorite poet.” The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical—“the dogs of Minneapolis . . . / have no idea they’re in Minneapolis”—to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry. Praise for The Rain in Portugal “Nothing in Billy Collins’s twelfth book . . . is exactly what readers might expect, and that’s the charm of this collection.”—The Washington Post “This new collection shows [Collins] at his finest. . . . Certain to please his large readership and a good place for readers new to Collins to begin.”—Library Journal “Disarmingly playful and wistfully candid.”—Booklist
