Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Man’s Poet By: Christopher Eng The Old Man’s Poet is the culmination of 15 years of observation on the part of poet Christopher Eng. As he travelled throughout the Western USA, he wrote, sharing his poetry with many of the park rangers he encountered, and now, he’s sharing it with the world. We all share the same elements as the stars in the universe, after all. We are symbiotic with the trees of the world. We breathe out carbon dioxide, which they need, and they give us oxygen, which we need. Eng’s reflections and unique interpretation of the natural world will capture the minds of readers young and old.
Download or read book The Whispering Muse written by Sjón and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already celebrated far beyond his native Iceland, the novels of Sjón arrive on waves of praise from writers, critics, and readers worldwide. Sjón has won countless international awards and earned ringing comparisons to Borges, Calvino, and Iceland's other literary superstar, the Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness. The Whispering Muse is his masterpiece so far. The year is 1949 and Valdimar Haraldsson, an eccentric Icelander with elevated ideas about the influence of fish consumption on Nordic civilization, has had the extraordinary good fortune to be invited to join a Danish merchant ship on its way to the Black Sea. Among the crew is the mythical hero Caeneus, disguised as the second mate. Every evening after dinner he entrances his fellow travelers with the tale of how he sailed with the fabled vessel the Argo on its quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece. What unfolds is a slender but masterful, brilliant, and always entertaining novel that ranges deftly from the comic to the mythic as it weaves together tales of antiquity with the modern world in a voice so singular as to seem possessed.

If you like being terrified, The Whisper Man has your name on it." —The New York Times, Editor's Pick "SUPERB" —Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review "BRILLIANT... will satisfy readers of Thomas Harris and Stephen King." —Booklist, Starred Review "POIGNANT AND TERRIFYING" —Entertainment Weekly In this dark, suspenseful thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town. After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank. But the town has a dark past. Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man," for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night. Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumors that he preyed with an accomplice. Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man. And then Jake begins acting strangely. He hears a whispering at his window...

Book excerpt: With a blend of Wordsworthian poetry style and contemporary American poetic voice, Ken Allan Dronsfield wonderfully weaves human emotions, mysticism and Nature’s beauty as well as its harshness in his poetry. Zephyr’s Whisper will undoubtedly keep on maintaining the balance of soft soothing waltz and strong challenging winds like effects on the hearts and souls of avid poetry readers of all generations Vatsala Radhakeesoon (Mauritian author/poet) An American Mihai Eminescu, Ken Allan Dronsfield always tugged at my heart. His poems are suggestive, imagistic and lined with subtle emotion. Reading this collection of poems, I did have the feeling that the Zephyr was whispering at me. Roxana Nastase (Romanian/Canadian writer/poet/editor) Whispers from the Zephyr Sugar cane flowing like ocean waves Florida winds blow as egret’s hunt lunch tapestry woven in a wildness of saw grass buzzards perch high on branches of oak dragonflies rest on blades of palmetto unscrupulous clouds build to a zephyr horizontal rains pelt all within the glades saunters by quickly; sun now reappears. Spanish moss drips from Cypress trees curtains of humidity hold a damp grip songbirds fluttering, the gators cruising; in the great Florida swamp; days roll by; a muskrat swims in the calming waters a pinkish haze envelops the twilight sky Great Blue Herons stand at stoic repose; Listen to the whispers from the zephyr.
Book Synopsis The Whispering Poet: An Anthology Of Igbo & Other Proverbs by : Dandy Ahuruonye
Download or read book The Whispering Poet: An Anthology Of Igbo & Other Proverbs written by Dandy Ahuruonye and published by Dandy Ahuruonye. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ilu bụ ịnyịnya nke asụsụ Igbo, ya mere ọbụrụ na eziokwu na-efu efu, anyi ga-eji ilu Igbo chọta ya Proverbs are the horses of the Igbo language, so if the truth goes missing, we use Igbo Proverbs to find it. Wit meets poets, and wordsmiths contend with contemporary sages in this collection of classic maxim capers. Can Dandy Ahuruonye save the day? In this sphere known as Igbo philosophy, every maxim act as a raw material for the general preferment of metaphysical reflection. It becomes obvious therefore that these ancient Proverbs play a critical role serving as perpetual escorts to the African viewpoint, in her desperate search for contextual truth. Such truths, and the fascinating conundrum that comes with them, can only be unlocked through the use of traditional proverbs. This captivating assemblage represents the first major exhibition of historical Proverbs of traditional Igbo origin; alongside Proverbs from around the world. The Igbo regard Proverbs as a cherished patrimony bequeathed them by wise ancestors who sought to use concise verities to teach their progeny. I compiled this encyclopaedia of Proverbs by using validations gleaned from oral tradition, archived records, other authentic sources, and utterances from various reputable elders, who also double as custodians of their heritage. My own knowledge of local and regional Proverbs helped to provide this rare insight into the roots of the diverse pearls of wisdom that have served Igbo speakers for aeons. Ultimately, my aim is to use these maxims to contribute to the general debate on the genesis, efficacy, and relevance of contemporary Igbo and other Proverbs, including their handouts, not just to the West African sub-region, but to all mankind. This encyclopaedia reviews the history of proverbs in general–From ancient Egypt, to medieval Israel; and from NOK, to the Benin Kingdom. The book also showcases hundreds of proverbs from other world cultures. What makes this reference book unique is that it presents a section containing hundreds of maxims with parallel applications; while also allowing the reader to make his or her own rendering of the meaning of proverbs in other sections. The guidebook contains over 400 original images from certified and authentic sources. The motivation to publish a book showcasing ancient African Proverbs side by side with equivalent English renderings is because many of these Proverbs require an explanation so as to appeal to Western and general readers. Also, many Igbo speakers do not know the meanings or context of their own ancestral maxims. Enjoy!
Book Synopsis The Whispering Gallery by : Anonymous
Download or read book The Whispering Gallery written by Anonymous and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Whispering Gallery: Being Leaves from the Diary of an Ex-Diplomat, which first appeared anonymously in 1926, takes the form of a portrait gallery, consisting of brief biographical sketches of public figures. Three chapters treat single individuals: Lord Northcliffe (‘The Napoleon of Fleet Street’), Lord Leverhulme (‘The Soap King’), and Edward VII (‘The Peacemaker’). The other chapters mostly group several subjects by profession: the ‘Warriors’ include Lord Kitchener, Lord Roberts, John French, and Marshal Joffre; the chapter on ‘Empire-Builders’ juxtaposes Cecil Rhodes with Joseph Chamberlain; the ‘Three Caesars’ are the Kaiser, the Tsar and Franz Josef; the ‘Two Despots’ are Mussolini and Lenin; the ‘Scribblers’ include H. G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling and Mark Twain. “To move in high social or diplomatic circles is to live in a whispering-gallery. No secret can be breathed without the startling reverberation of rumor from an unexpected quarter. The secrets I breathe afresh in these pages the reader may have heard in the echo of hearsay, an echo which distorts the words that were actually spoken and alters the very character of the speakers themselves.”
Book Synopsis Whispers of Love in a Tearful World by : Nilayan Basu
Download or read book Whispers of Love in a Tearful World written by Nilayan Basu and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy vivid descriptions of nature, and memories blended with imagination and imagery from the author's personal photo collections in this fanciful new short story collection! Some say that whenever we see or hear something, it is permanently etched in our brains. Sometimes memories return to haunt us, sometimes to amuse us, and sometimes to make us laugh. Sometimes what we see or hear appears in our dreams, obscured and blended with other memories or fantasies. Neuroscience is complex, and the wonders of the human mind are amazing. Nilayan Basu brings this concept to life in his new short story collection. In "Whispers of Love in Tearful World," the tales are imaginary but have distinct ties to real-world events. The natural tendency of the human spirit to seek peace forms the core of Nilayan's soothing, eloquent prose.

Book Synopsis Edward Lear and the Play of Poetry by : James Williams
Download or read book Edward Lear and the Play of Poetry written by James Williams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the Victorian poets, Edward Lear has a good claim to the widest audience: admired and championed by critics and poets from John Ruskin to John Ashbery, he has also been read, heard, and loved by generations of children. As a central figure in the literature of nonsense, Lear has also shaped the evolution of modern literature, and his work continues to influence and inspire writers and readers today. This collection of essays-the first ever devoted solely to Lear-builds on a recent resurgence of critical interest and asks how it is that the play of Lear's poetry continues to delight, and to challenge our sense of what poetry can be. These seventeen chapters, written by established and emerging critics of poetry, seek to explore and appreciate the playfulness embodied in the poems, and to provide contexts in which it can be better understood and enjoyed. They consider how Lear's poems play off various inheritances (the literary fool, Romantic lyric, his religious upbringing), explore particular forms in which his playful genius took flight (his letters, his queer writings about love), and trace lines of Learical influence and inheritance by showing how other poets and thinkers across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries played off Lear in their turn (Joyce, Stein, Eliot, Auden, Smith, Ashbery, and others).
