Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Herder Prize, Nichita Stanescu was one of Romania’s most celebrated contemporary poets. This dazzling collection of poems – the most extensive collection of his work to date – reveals a world in which heavenly and mysterious forces converse with the everyday and earthbound, where love and a quest for truth are central, and urgent questions flow. His startling images stretch the boundaries of thought. His poems, at once surreal and corporeal, lead us into new metaphysical and linguistic terrain.

Book excerpt: “Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?” —Mary Oliver This luminous anthology brings together great poets from around the world whose work transcends culture and time. Their words reach past the outer divisions to the universal currents of love and revelation that move and inspire us all. These poems urge us to wake up and love. They also call on us to relinquish our grip on ideas and opinions that confine us and, instead, to risk moving forward into the life that is truly ours. In his selection, Roger Housden has placed strong emphasis on contemporary voices such as the American poet laureate Billy Collins and the Nobel Prize–winners Czeslaw Milosz and Seamus Heaney, but the collection also includes some timeless echoes of the past in the form of work by masters such as Goethe, Wordsworth, and Emily Dickinson. The tens of thousands of readers of Roger Housden’s “Ten Poems” series will welcome this beautiful harvest of poems that both open the mind and heal the heart.

I can yoke rich words together, Using fancy as their tether; Utter syllables in rhyme, As if they were bells in chime. Though thou hast no Minstrel's rod, We are children of one God; Therefore never fret nor pine That thy skill is less than mine. Hast thou sunlight watched, and shower, Sea, and shell, and field, and flower, Living insect, beast and bird? Hast thou for a moment heard Children, on their mother's knee, Prattle with untrammelled glee? Or the wind sing in the tree? Hadst thou so, and only cried "Oh! how beautiful!" and died, That last hour had come to thee With a flash of poetry. Canst thou kiss a poor man's child, And thyself think undefiled? With no proud unchristian qualm, Canst thou shake the horny palm Of the meanest in the land, Freely as a jewelled hand? Canst thou smile when others smile? When they sorrow, weep the while? Holding love a holy thing, Would'st thou blush to stain his wing? Canst thou search on history's page For the men of every age Who have dared the tyrant's ban, And upheld the weaker man, And while sounding fame records them, Feel thy heart-strings stretch towards them? If thy soul be formed for this, Sigh not for the Muse's kiss, Since the bird which sings the best Feels no deeper than the rest. Though thou hast no words to preach Beauty unto all and each, Never fret and never pine That thy skill is less than mine: To thy God in duty bow; Shakespeare felt no more than thou. REVELATIONS THE BEAUTIFUL. On the borders of the sea Lived a youth whose master-fault Was, methinks, inconstancy. On the shore he oft would halt, There, with an untutored whim, Stoop and pick a shining shell: --Ask not if he loved it well, Since all beauty governed him. He would place it to his ear, Like a child, and leap...

Download or read book The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump written by Rob Sears and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last decade, Rob Sears has been painstakingly combing the words of Donald J. Trump for signs of poetry. To the surprise of many, he has found riches. By simply cutting up and reordering lines from Trump’s tweets, Truths and transcripts, Sears has unearthed a trove of exquisite verse that was just waiting to be found. In this expanded edition of a poetry classic, fans can rediscover a writer of rare conviction (thirty-four felony charges and counting), and for the first time ponder the full span of Trump's artistic flowering and the paradoxes it poses. Like: How can one and the same person unite critics with beautiful poems, yet prove so divisive in his 'other life' as a political leader? And how can a man many consider desperately flawed produce works of such grace as 'All I ask is fairness', 'My hands are normal hands' and 'Shithole countries'? The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump is a carefully curated collection for our times that will make a thought-provoking addition to any poetry-lover’s library.

Book excerpt: Fred Chappell says of Ted Olson's second collection of poems: "These surprising revelations are really reminders." The eleven 'chapters' of seven poems per chapter provide readers with poetry that Maurice Manning describes as, "refreshing, almost old-fashioned in that it is truly verse...composed generously with rhythm and rhyme, and that antiquated quality makes the gravity of Revelations all the more subtle."

Book excerpt: Sacred poetry from twelve mystics and saints, rendered brilliantly by Daniel Ladinsky, beloved interpreter of verses by the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz One of 6 Books Oprah Loves to Give as Gifts During the Holidays “All kinds of beautiful poetry.” –Hoda Kotb In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinsky—best known for his bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz—brings together the timeless work of twelve of the world’s finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again, Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound and playful renditions of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumi’s joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis’s loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabir’s wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresa’s sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Sufi poet Hafiz—these along with inspiring works by Rabia, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mira, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and Tukaram are all “love poems by God” from writers considered “conduits of the divine.” Together, they form a spiritual treasure to cherish always.

Honum in every case transfigures emotion by way of elegant language and formal restraint." Claudia Emerson"

This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The vividness and beauty of the language emerge in a fresh way . . . with evocative simplicity.” —Robert Alter, professor emeritus of Hebrew and comparative literature, University of California, Berkeley The world’s greatest poetry resides in the Bible, yet these major poets are traditionally rendered into prose. In this pioneering volume of biblical poets translated in English, Willis Barnstone restores the lyricism and power of the poets’ voices in both the New and Old Testaments. In the Hebrew Bible we hear Solomon rhapsodize in Song of Songs, David chant in Psalms, God and Job debate in grand rhetoric, and prophet poet Isaiah plead for peace. Jesus speaks in wisdom verse in the Gospel, Paul is a philosopher of love, and John of Patmos roars majestically in Revelation, the Bible’s epic poem. This groundbreaking volume includes every major biblical poem from Genesis and Adam and Eve in the Garden to the last pages of Alpha and Omega in Paradise.
