Book Synopsis Poetry, consciousness and community by : Christopher (Kit) Kelen
Download or read book Poetry, consciousness and community written by Christopher (Kit) Kelen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of poetry has importantly intuitive aspects and poetry embodies an ambivalence towards consciousness and towards those activities of thought in which it is constituted. It was ability to favour doubt over the productions of the rational mind that led Keats to associate poetry with his ‘negative capability’. Consciousness is – like poetry – a floating signifier, a term of wide reference, and with a range of implications in the various disciplinary contexts in which it finds currency. Poetry, consciousness and community is about poetry, consciousness and community, about their reflexive relationships in process, and about how these relationships matter to the world today and to worlds to come. This book is interested in the nature of poetic, as opposed to other, thought; it is interested in the critical application of these forms of thought to each others’ productions, and in how poetic thought might or might not be subject to its own regime. Poetry – as practice of testing the limits of language – entails a reflexive goal: that of understanding the journey in words made possible for, and by, the poem. Poetic meaning and truth are revealed between languages (likewise between genres, between texts, between subjects); it is in this inter-subjective and inter-cultural space that the limits of language (and so of conceivable worlds) are found.

Book Synopsis My Head Lives Here by : Mia Shparaga
Download or read book My Head Lives Here written by Mia Shparaga and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a residence for thoughts that cannot live inside a head. The majority of the poems in this collection endeavor to articulate the often-overwhelming elusiveness of the world around us. Each piece intends to invoke an image that relates to moments in our life that we relive every now and then – flavoring our conscious with either hints of nostalgia or the essence of apprehension. Those moments that have been hidden away in our deepest memories, displaced by the bustling substance of “things that matter.” Throughout the text, there is an obvious evolution of emotional depth and complexity in my perception of the adequate words to say. Yet, the entire collection represents my current state as a new author, aspiring to emulate the effortless yet profound simplicity of words as art. As an extension of my own reality, the world inside these pages explores the extremes of emotion that are sometimes better read than felt.
Book Synopsis The Voice of Consciousness: Poems Composed After Ninety by : Jack Rothman
Download or read book The Voice of Consciousness: Poems Composed After Ninety written by Jack Rothman and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. A deep sense of humanity is at the core of Jack Rothman's poetry. His poems are easy to read, yet surprise you with their intensity as you find yourself looking at the world through his eyes. And what a complex world it is. "I wake immersed in consciousness," he says, and shows you page after page what that means. From the vantage point of ninety-plus years, memory, family, and life in America are examined and shared through language that is direct and laced with humor. The blending of honesty and warmth in Jack's voice makes you feel you are his friend. He has a natural inclination to probe below the surface, cares fervently for matters of peace and equality, and holds close the people he loves. In one of my favorite passages, he states, 'My wife and I together / Mount the steps / of time.' I appreciate that his poems are simultaneously thought provoking and tender."--Deborah Clayton
Book Synopsis The Problem of Consciousness in Modern Poetry by : Hugh Underhill
Download or read book The Problem of Consciousness in Modern Poetry written by Hugh Underhill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-07-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernist aesthetics have been identified with a sense of cultural crisis, defined by its distance from an ideal of unified consciousness. This original study examines the struggle toward that ideal of unitary subjective experience in modern British and Irish poetry from Hardy to Ted Hughes. Hugh Underhill argues that the poetry's emphasis on inner states underrepresents the extent to which the crisis is in fact socio-historically determined.

Download or read book Prepositions + written by Louis Zukofsky and published by Wesleyan. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepositions: The Collected Critical Essays, published first in 1967 and then in an expanded edition in 1981, was a definitive set of critical statements by Louis Zukofsky, one of the most important poets of the 20th century. These central expositions of Zukofsky's own poetics, and enduring examinations of the art of poetry, range over the entire length of Zukofsky's career and include sensitive and prescient readings of Henry Adams, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, E. E. Cummings, and others. Prepositions + brings this essential collection back into print, and adds generous selections of Zukofsky's uncollected prose, most notably the crucial 5 Statements for Poetry. Published in a small edition in 1958 and out of print ever since, 5 Statements gathers the essays that Zukofsky felt best presented his own poetics. Among them are the three essays, in their original and expansive forms, that crystallized the "Objectivist" movement of the early 1930s. Prepositions + also includes an extended in-depth interview in which Zukofsky discusses his poetry and poetics.
Book Synopsis Expanding Authorship by : Peter Middleton
Download or read book Expanding Authorship written by Peter Middleton and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding Authorship collects important essays by Peter Middleton that show the many ways in which, in a world of proliferating communications media, poetry-making is increasingly the work of agencies extending beyond that of a single, identifiable author. In four sections—Sound, Communities, Collaboration, and Complexity—Middleton demonstrates that this changing situation of poetry requires new understandings of the variations of authorship. He explores the internal divisions of lyric subjectivity, the vicissitudes of coauthorship and poetry networks, the creative role of editors and anthologists, and the ways in which the long poem can reveal the outer limits of authorship. Readers and scholars of Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, George Oppen, Frank O’Hara, Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Jerome Rothenberg, Susan Howe, Lyn Hejinian, Nathaniel Mackey, and Rae Armantrout will find much to learn and enjoy in this groundbreaking volume.

Book Synopsis Reading the Middle Generation Anew by : Eric Haralson
Download or read book Reading the Middle Generation Anew written by Eric Haralson and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten original essays by advanced scholars and well-published poets address the middle generation of American poets, including the familiar---Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Jarrell, and John Berryman---and various important contemporaries: Delmore Schwartz, Theodore Roethke, Robert Hayden, and Lorine Niedecker. This was a famously troubled cohort of writers, for reasons both personal and cultural, and collectively their poems give us powerful, moving insights into American social life in the transforming decades of the 1940s through the 1960s.In addition to having worked during the broad middle of the last century, these poets constitute the center of twentieth-century American poetry in the larger sense, refuting invidious connotations of “middle” as coming after the great moderns and being superseded by a proliferating postmodern experimentation. This middle generation mediates the so-called American century and its prodigious body of poetry, even as it complicates historical and aesthetic categorizations.Taking diverse formal and thematic angles on these poets---biographical-historical, deconstructionist, and more formalist accounts---this book re-examines their between-ness and ambivalence: their various positionings and repositionings in aesthetic, political, and personal matters. The essays study the interplay between these writers and such shifting formations as religious discourse, consumerism, militarism and war, the ideology of America as “nature's nation,” and U.S. race relations and ethnic conflicts. Reading the Middle Generation Anew also shows the legacy of the middle generation, the ways in which their lives and writings continue to be a shaping force in American poetry. This fresh and invigorating collection will be of great interest to literary scholars and poets.

Book Synopsis Community Garden for Lonely Girls by : Christine Shan Shan Hou
Download or read book Community Garden for Lonely Girls written by Christine Shan Shan Hou and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Christine Shan Shan Hou's newest collection of poems, COMMUNITY GARDEN FOR LONELY GIRLS depicts a journey that traverses imagined histories and various states of consciousness. In Hou's poems, "the now moves with such glacial intensity"--folkloric myth and cultural detail are weaved together in animated modulation. These poems assert that desire for the unknown is pertinent to understanding one's identity and survival: "I know I could die, but if / I could be anything // I would be an aquarium full of / colorful fish and deep // breathing, / You know // like nude and / without age." Like a feminist spiritual quest or the act of a messenger delivering consequential information to a participant community, Hou's poems shape shift while simultaneously evoking its changeability: "I open my legs and a saint comes out / like a tiny blessing." Here, the subtle, gross, and causal body get in alignment despite the complexities and controversies of living a life. "Enough dilly-dallying. The love is coming."
Book Synopsis We Borrowed Gentleness by : J. Estanislao Lopez
Download or read book We Borrowed Gentleness written by J. Estanislao Lopez and published by Alice James Books. This book was released on 2022-10-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Borrowed Gentleness interrogates the innateness of pain and forms of destruction—through natural disaster, through God, through family, and through the power structures and patriarchal violence that embeds itself in language and cultural memory. Poems critique and challenge the patriarchal narratives that dominate American history. The poems leave the question open of whether man, men, a father and son, are redeemable after the surge of rising white nationalism in America. And yet, there are poems that find, still, bits of joy and perhaps a shred of hope. By juxtaposing poems of louder narrative imagination with quieter poems that explore intimate failings within a family, often portrayed with a realist aesthetic, the book attempts to work through the essential fault in man, in men—in the structures that they design and maintain.
