Book Synopsis Poetry without Tears by : Michael Baldwin
Download or read book Poetry without Tears written by Michael Baldwin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1959, Poetry without Tears is a book not about what poetry is. The author argues that this book is not concerned with the educational resurrection of a dead art but about the artistic resurrection of education. Poetry is a force released in activity. That is how an educationalist and a poet see it. It is rarely how critics and academics see it. They see it as a series of poems, correspondingly it is as a ‘Collection of Poems’ that it is taught. Basic educational truths are frequently overlooked in our teaching of the arts, and no art suffers more from this than poetry. Baldwin goes on to say that in the end teaching is a creative activity and the creators are the best teachers. This book is a must read for students of both literature and education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed musician Alicia Keys, author of the memoir More Myself, comes a revealing songbook of collected poems and lyrics that document her growth as a person, a woman, and an artist. “All my life, I’ve written these words with no thought or intention of sharing them. Not even with my confidants. These are my most delicate thoughts. The ones that I wrote down just so I could understand what in the world these things I was thinking meant...” When she burst onto the music scene with her multi-million bestselling, Grammy® Award-winning first album, Songs in A Minor, Alicia Keys became a superstar. Two decades later, her career has expanded into producing, acting, and passionate activism—winning her worldwide acclaim, numerous awards, and a spot on Time’s list of “The 100 Most Influential People.” Though Alicia has been very vocal through her career, there were always “delicate thoughts” that she never before imagined she’d share with anyone else—until now. In Tears for Water, Alicia Keys opens the journals and notebooks that she has kept throughout her life and reveals her heart to her fans in return for all the love they have shown to her and her music. Hello morning now I see you cause I am awake What was once so sweet and secure has turned out to be fake Girl, you can’t be scared gotta stand up tall and let ’em see what shines in you Push aside the part lying in your heart like the ocean is deep, dark and blue —from Golden Child

Download or read book Barbie Chang written by Victoria Chang and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With astringent understatement and wry economy, with nuance and intelligence and an enviable command of syntax and poetic line, Victoria Chang dissects the venerable practices of cultural piety and self-regard. She is a master of the thumbnail narrative. She can wield a dark eroticism. She is determined to tackle subject matter that is not readily subdued to the proportions of lyric. Her talent is conspicuous."—Linda Gregerson "Chang's voice is equal parts searing, vulnerable, and terrified."—American Poets Barbie Chang, Victoria Chang explores racial prejudice, sexual privilege, and the disillusionment of love through a reimagining of Barbie—perfect in the cultural imagination yet repeatedly falling short as she pursues the American dream. This energetic string of linked poems is full of wordplay, humor, and biting social commentary involving the quote-unquote speaker, Barbie Chang, a disillusioned Asian-American suburbanite. By turns woeful and passionate, playful and incisive, these poems reveal a voice insisting that "even silence is not silent." From "Barbie Chang Lives": Barbie Chang lives on Facebook has a house on Facebook street so she can erase herself Facebook is a country with no trees it allows her to believe people love her don't want to cover her Barbie Chang . . . Victoria Chang is the author of three previous poetry books. In 2013, she won the PEN Center USA Literary Award and a California Book Award. Chang teaches poetry at Chapman University and lives in Southern California.

Book Synopsis Modern Poetry after Modernism by : James Longenbach
Download or read book Modern Poetry after Modernism written by James Longenbach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, James Longenbach develops a fresh approach to major American poetry after modernism. Rethinking the influential "breakthrough" narrative, the oft-told story of postmodern poets throwing off their modernist shackles in the 1950s, Longenbach offers a more nuanced perspective. Reading a diverse range of poets--John Ashbery, Elizabeth Bishop, Amy Clampitt, Jorie Graham, Richard Howard, Randall Jarrell, Robert Lowell, Robert Pinsky, and Richard Wilbur--Longenbach reveals that American poets since mid- century have not so much disowned their modernist past as extended elements of modernism that other readers have suppressed or neglected to see. In the process, Longenbach allows readers to experience the wide variety of poetries written in our time-- without asking us to choose between them.

Book Synopsis Four Seasons of T'ang Poetry by : John C.H. Wu
Download or read book Four Seasons of T'ang Poetry written by John C.H. Wu and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1989-12-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantial collection of Tang Dynasty poetry includes extensive commentary and notes—offering insight into this rich literary heritage. "Stretching out my hand I feel the pulse of the stars," wrote Li Po, one of the most famous of the T'ang dynasty poets. This superlative study of the Golden Age of Chinese poetry, based on nearly 50,000 poems written by more than 2,000 poets, captures not only the pulse of that period but also the spirit and soul. Of this Tang blossoming, Dr. Wu says that for nearly thirteen centuries after Christ, poetry in Europe, with the exception of Juvenal, kept a death–like silence. It hibernated so long that when it woke up again in the person of Dante, the last poetic voice it could remember was that Virgil. It seems though Mother Earth purposely rocked Europe to sleep for some time that she might teach Asia to sing. These poetic interpretations, including comparisons with many Western poets such as Shakespeare and T.S. Eliot, represent a remarkable scholarly achievement.
Book Synopsis Total Loss Farm: A Year in the Life by : Raymond Mungo
Download or read book Total Loss Farm: A Year in the Life written by Raymond Mungo and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In making her selection for Pharos Editions, Dana Spiotta tells us how drawn she was by the work of Raymond Mungo. "[He] writes . . . about his own joy and his own pain, he is particularly good when he describes the land around him and how it feels on his body." Indeed, if Henry David Thoreau had downed a handful of liberty caps before penning Walden it would have read much like Mungo's Total Loss Farm, a rollicking memoir of the late 1960's back–to–the–earth movement. Written in a limber prose style formed by the tempo of the times, Mungo takes us into the cultural tsunami of a failed radical politics as it broke on the shoals of a drug–fueled personal freedom and washed inland across the farmlands of Vermont, leaving a trail of damage and redemption in its wake. Total Loss Farm attracted widespread critical and commercial attention in 1970, when the "back–to–the–land" hippie commune movement first emerged. The book's first section, "Another Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers," appeared as the cover article in the May 1970 issue of Atlantic Monthly. The hardcover first edition from Dutton was quickly followed by paperback editions from Bantam, Avon, and Madrona Publishers, keeping the book in print for several decades. Very recently, Dwight Garner in the New York Times Book Review cited Total Loss Farm as "the best and also the loopiest of the commune books."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A black girls tears are poems that take you on my journey of heartbreak, hope, family, and love. When you first see the title Im sure you assume that this book is full of sad poems; but I've learned that tears are a form of strength in many ways. If the sun shined all the time nothing could grow; things would burn up and there would be no harvest. Tears are like the rain; they help to cleanse and come in many forms. They can derive from joy, pain, confusion, frustration, happiness and LIFE. This is a collection of my thoughts, my heart, my faith, and my voice. I hope when you read this you are able to connect to some of the things I have gone through. What I hope more than anything; is that the message Im trying to convey reaches you, and that message is love. At the end of the day love is all that matters and I will always believe in the power of true love. I feel I was created to share these words, and I've been waiting my entire life for this. The tears that this black girl has cried have brought me to this moment; I hope you enjoy.
