Book Synopsis Poems Born in Isolation by : Ieva Lākute
Download or read book Poems Born in Isolation written by Ieva Lākute and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a pandemic, and we are all at war. With the invisible virus; with our governments; and, for some, with ourselves. Isolation is like no man's land. A country that belongs to no one, yet has managed to trap everyone inside its borders. The lull that we may feel here is deceptive -- there is always danger lurking. Be it the virus waiting to infect us as soon as we step outside the front door to go for a walk. Be it the economy slowly crashing around us while we stretch out and work in our pyjamas. Our new routine is filled with paradox. Peace and rage. Inspiration and desperation. Connected isolation. Here are twelve poems that came to me, both to save me and to drown me during the first three weeks of lockdown. May they cheer you up, enrage you, inspire you and console you.

Book Synopsis Circadian Rhythm by : Chester Jay Celis
Download or read book Circadian Rhythm written by Chester Jay Celis and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-17 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To live is to go with the rhythm, but when loneliness accompanies us, we fall in love with joy, hope, sorrow, and death. We defy our nature. I wrote these twenty-four poems for the past twenty-four days since the lock down of our county due to COVID-19 pandemic. I stayed at my room. No work for me to do. This loneliness within me is killing me unless I put them into paper through my pen and tears and smiles and despair. But at those moments, I began appreciating the essence of loneliness - how powerful to self-actualize and see millions of perspectives.
Download or read book Blue Horses written by Mary Oliver and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunning collection of new poems, Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has defined her life’s work, describing with wonder both the everyday and the unaffected beauty of nature. Herons, sparrows, owls, and kingfishers flit across the page in meditations on love, artistry, and impermanence. Whether considering a bird’s nest, the seeming patience of oak trees, or the artworks of Franz Marc, Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments. At its heart, Blue Horses asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it attuned to all its changes. Humorous, gentle, and always honest, Oliver is a visionary of the natural world.
Book Synopsis Conference Of The Isolated by : Brian Spradlin
Download or read book Conference Of The Isolated written by Brian Spradlin and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest works in history have all been built from a sense of isolation. It is within these moments that the author's truth finds its way from pen to paper. Conference of the Isolated attempts to reopen a dialogue, one that is missing from today's climate. A life lived must be worth living, and as we struggled together through these past few years, it became apparent that isolation would be at the forefront of our very existence, forced in some cases, voluntary in others. Conference of the Isolated not only tackles the loneliness of this period but dwells on the past as it relates to the great works of our time, much of which has never seen the light of day. Along the way, recollections of the past, remembrances of those we lost, and a hope for a better tomorrow all reign in word play.
Book Synopsis A Fortune for Your Disaster by : Hanif Abdurraqib
Download or read book A Fortune for Your Disaster written by Hanif Abdurraqib and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “When an author’s unmitigated brilliance shows up on every page, it’s tempting to skip a description and just say, Read this! Such is the case with this breathlessly powerful, deceptively breezy book of poetry.” —Booklist, Starred Review In his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown Ain't Worth Much, poet, essayist, biographer, and music critic Hanif Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew. It's a book about a mother's death, and admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off, about forgiveness, and how none of the author's black friends wanted to listen to "Don't Stop Believin'." It's about wrestling with histories, personal and shared. Abdurraqib uses touchstones from the world outside—from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor's dogs—to create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents a new possibility.
Download or read book Fuck Isolation written by Sunny Rey and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tribute to the poets was born in March 2020, during the beginning weeks of California's stay-at-home orders for the COVID-19 pandemic. Poets Underground, a community of poets who perform weekly at Amplified Ale Works Acid Vault room in San Diego, continued to meet online, expressing their raw emotions and hardships in lockdown. The intense missing of in-person connections led to the coining of the catch phrase and title of this anthology. Divided into five sections, each dealing with different phases of the challenges the pandemic created, this volume features 134 poems from 72 poets. With shifts in the political and the emotional since April, these poems reflect only the first month of lockdown, and life in the world post-COVID-19.

Book Synopsis Poemas sobre maternidad, aislamiento, duelo y amor by : Sonia Margarita
Download or read book Poemas sobre maternidad, aislamiento, duelo y amor written by Sonia Margarita and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dar a luz es una belleza. El aislamiento puede ser atroz. Todos en algún momento vivimos o atravesamos un duelo. El amor es la fuerza más grande y poderosa que es capaz de aliviarnos. En este poemario bilingüe (Español e Inglés) se entrelazan estos conceptos. Así como un ciclo de vida: nacer, crecer, vivir y morir. Se tocan dos polos opuestos: 1- El nacimiento de un bebé desde los sentimientos y emociones de la madre al saberse embarazada. 2. El sufrimiento, agonía, desesperación y tristeza de ver poco a poco partir a un ser querido hacia la muerte. Giving birth is a something beautiful. Isolation can be excruciating. We all experience or go through grief at some point of our lives. Love is the greatest and most powerful force that is able of giving us relief. In this bilingual poetry book (Spanish and English), these concepts are intertwined. As well as a life cycle: being born, growing, living, and dying. Two opposite poles are touched: 1- The birth of a baby from the mother's feelings and emotions when she finds out she is pregnant. 2. The suffering, agony, desperation and sadness of seeing a loved one slowly go to death.

Book Synopsis Urban Tumbleweed by : Harryette Mullen
Download or read book Urban Tumbleweed written by Harryette Mullen and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Harryette Mullen is a magician of words, phrases, and songs . . . No voice in contemporary poetry is quite as original, cosmopolitan, witty, and tragic." —Susan Stewart, citation for the Academy of American Poets Fellowship Urban tumbleweed, some people call it, discarded plastic bag we see in every city blown down the street with vagrant wind. —from Urban Tumbleweed Urban Tumbleweed is the poet Harryette Mullen's exploration of spaces where the city and the natural world collide. Written out of a daily practice of walking, Mullen's stanzas adapt the traditional Japanese tanka, a poetic form suited for recording fleeting impressions, describing environmental transitions, and contemplating the human being's place in the natural world. But, as she writes in her preface, "What is natural about being human? What to make of a city dweller taking a ‘nature walk' in a public park while listening to a podcast with ear-bud headphones?"

The secular and the sacred? Where is the kingdom of heaven? And how does one live in Ordinary Time—during those apparently unmiraculous periods of everyday trouble and joy?
Book Synopsis Somewhere Between the Stem and the Fruit by : Gwen Frost
Download or read book Somewhere Between the Stem and the Fruit written by Gwen Frost and published by Broadstone Books. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. Young Adult. Somewhere between the stem and the fruit is that paradoxical nexus, the point that is both connection and separation, from where you came, to what you are becoming, the scene of the severing, the letting go, the stepping away, the necessary violence and the radical isolation required to be oneself, wholly. And, perhaps, holy. "The poems are written / before they occur to me," Gwen Frost declares at the conclusion of her shattering first collection. "Something about a scar, something about a hymn." She says that poetry saved her life, making this volume a document of that on-going process of healing, and a gift and a hope for others on the same journey. Foremost, it is a document of a contemporary young woman negotiating her way through a perilous world. "Turns out, there are a million different ways to kill a girl," she observes in "Watch," a poem that references Hitchcock's advice to "torture the women" in order to make a popular film, and by extension the misogynistic voyeurism that fetishizes violence against women. This book documents more than a few of those ways, and nowhere more chillingly than in the poem "sticking heads in the sand," in which the query "How was your summer?" follows up almost casually with another question, "What was your rapist's name?" In the inventory of anticipated experience for a young woman, "summer love and sexual assault / adventures and attacks" go hand in hand, "heads pushed into sand" both an act of violence and an act of willful forgetting. Gwen Frost won't forget, and won't let us forget. She is fiercely self-examining and self-revealing, admitting her chief fear is "what I am capable of, I am afraid / that I could kill a man, / and I am afraid / that I might like it." In lieu of this (perhaps understandable) act of violence, she exorcises and expiates through her verse. In the process, she might save us along with herself. She concludes that she "will write one, unshareable poem, / and I will let it die with me, simple and / forever, folded neatly in my throat." This is her one prediction that we must hope is untrue, for we need her to write many, many more poems, and to share them for many years to come.
