Book Synopsis Sunday Afternoon and Other Poems by : Akram Najjar
Download or read book Sunday Afternoon and Other Poems written by Akram Najjar and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, Akram wrote his first poem, having been drawn to poetry since his teens. He wrote several more and realized soon that many were focusing on internal emotional issues, particular to Akram. That gave him a jolt. He retracted by destroying most of the poems he had written. He also stopped reading poets whose only concern was internal rumblings. He concentrated on poets with universal, humanistic or philosophic concerns. Luckily, there are many of these poets. Since then, his poems, even though some are in the first person singular, always attempt to move out of the personal and the autobiographical.
Book Synopsis The Day Underneath the Day by : C. Dale Young
Download or read book The Day Underneath the Day written by C. Dale Young and published by Triquarterly Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of 2002 Norma Farber First Book Award Finalist Gifted with a vivid and exact skill, C. Dale Young's writing resembles an intricate anatomy lesson. His powers of observation probe the small energies of the natural world. Again and again the ordinary details of life transform themselves under the delicate pressure of his words--the movement of birds' wings, the color and texture of tropical flowers, the study of the ocean waves, the "scalpel of light" cutting through the beginning of the day. The language of Young's poems evokes an ultimate sense of place through a gorgeous marriage of tone and diction that echoes James Merrill and Amy Clampitt. As he meticulously maps out human passions and emotions, he explores both the surfaces and depths of everything that he surveys. His confident and polished verse unfolds intricate layers of landscape, seeking the order that lies beneath the unruly patterns of our lives.

Book Synopsis Hourglass and Other Poems by : James L. Clark
Download or read book Hourglass and Other Poems written by James L. Clark and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-07-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this collection have to do with the passing of time-its relentlessness, speed and events-and people facing sadness, humor, joy, social upheavals such as wars, inequities, corruption, goodness, apprehensions about life and death, love, hatred, dreams, disappointments, fears, injustices, blessings, sacrifice, sloth, industriousness, physical impairments/strengths, spirituality, God, worry, specific battles in various wars, elation, jealousy, greed, generosity, meanness, aging-in short, the everyday happenings/abstractions that, totaled, simply make life what it is for everyone, both individually and collectively. While the book includes both free verse and traditional poetry as defined consensually, most of the poems feature rhythm and rhyme, not the sing-song type of thing, but serious and consistent style presenting subjects in a manner conducive to reading them aloud and remembering. Though this is a departure from the styles mostly in vogue today, it features form that has withstood the testing of time while demanding more of the creator, just as in the case of classical music-perhaps an interesting change of pace for the reader.

Book Synopsis Love and Other Poems by : Alex Dimitrov
Download or read book Love and Other Poems written by Alex Dimitrov and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

Download or read book Earthwalking & Other Poems written by Karen Ethelsdattar and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-01-29 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karen Ethelsdattars poems, written out of the politics of the heart and the depths of the spirit, speak to the eternal questions. What is it to be a woman, a daughter, a sister, a mother? What is it to be a person? What is it to be in love with the natural world? What is sacred? Connected to the earth, reaching toward the sky, embracing family and friends and stranger and fellow creature. They sing, they swing, they dance, they bow, they stand tall. They celebrate solitude and relationship and community, nature and art. Critical Praise for Earthwalking: "Thank you for your most amazing and beautiful poem, "Earthwalking." Thank you for receiving and writing it, and for sending it to me. The gift of receiving words for my own half-conscious experience...Your book of poems is absolutely exquisite, a joy to read, a pleasure for the soul and the senses. I cannot thank you enough for sending it to me. I have enjoyed sending it among my friends, and they thank you, too. --Joanna Macy,, author of World as Lover, World as Self "Thanks so much for Earthwalking. I love the poems and their spirits. The work is an inspiration to me" --Shaun Mcniff, author of Earth Angels "Now I begin to make music again on the skin of the drum, with my palms, with my fingertips, the rhythm shivering back through me, the beat entering & reverberating back up through the earth. I walk with my fingers, I walk with my feet. I walk to earth's heartbeat." Karen Ethelsdattar's poems celebrate the ordinary and recognize in it the extraordinary. They make us glad to be alive. This is a book of gratitude for the simple things of life: a flowered summer blouse, an avocado plant rooted in water by her son, a bee and the seasons and the rain. This is a book of reverence for life: the earth itself, a spider and its torn web, her treasured cats, her twin sister who died at 34, a daughter, a son, grandchildren, a mother and father in their last years, friend and lover. This is a book of appreciations: for Georgia O'Keeffe and Hokusai, for one friend's painting of tomatoes and another's photographs of "the ten thousand things," for a Mexican flamenco dancer and Indian temple sculptures. These poems play with form and range in mood from the contemplative to the passionate. They will touch you where you live. "I walk with my fingers, I walk with my feet. I walk to earth's heartbeat. Again & again I am a woman walking, walking to where she turns into the earth."

Download or read book Day & Night written by Aram Saroyan and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 1998 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In late August of 1975 when my wife Gailyn and I and our one-and-a-half-year-old daughter arrived in Bolinas, I was almost 29 years old and had become known for writing minimal poetry sometimes consisting of a single word", Aram Saroyan writes in his introduction to Day and Night. "A young writer's ego is a delicate matter, subject as it is to routine battery and assault. When I wrote the first section of a long poem called 'Lines for My Autobiography' one afternoon on the typewriter in the poet Joanne Kyger's house. I was both exhilarated and uneasy. After all, it was two and a half pages long and I'd never before written a poem of even half its length. I ended up throwing it in the waste basket, but Gailyn fished it out, read it, and told me it was the best thing I'd ever written and to go on writing it". That poem and many others like it -- limpid, direct, revealing, open-hearted essays toward a first-person life story -- make up Saroyan's very appealing book about "big-city boys...becoming farmers" in an eccentric, idealist, crackpot-utopian California beach town in the 1970s. This is an unashamedly youthful book, starry-eyed in its approach to family-starting and community-founding, innocently celebrative of the simple wonders of a life lived close to nature. Glancing back at a glamorous but troubled childhood spent among the bright lights of Manhattan and the luxuriant palms of Beverly Hills, the young Saroyan experiences this new world with a freshness of vision.
