Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delving into the landscapes and politics of twentieth- and twenty-first-century South, East, and West Yorkshire, Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry: Cultural Identities, Political Crises theorises Yorkshire as a distinct region of poetry in its own right. In outlining the commonalities and parameters of this branch of poetry, Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry engages the work with a selection of poets writing in and about the region since 1945, including Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Simon Armitage, Helen Mort, Zaffar Kunial, Kate Fox, and Vicky Foster. Charting the developments in Yorkshire poetry, this book explores several key contexts – including deindustrialisation, the Miners’ Strikes, and Brexit – in detail, evidencing the impacts of these sociopolitical events on the poetry of a region. Modern and Contemporary Yorkshire Poetry investigates 75 years of poetry to ask the question: what is Yorkshire poetry? In other words, what is it that connects poems by these writers, whilst setting them apart from poetry of other UK regions?

Download or read book The Tin Book written by Gordon Hoyles and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970's, Gordon Hoyles' poetry output was prolific and breathtakingly honest. With no money for printing, he turned necessity into a virtue and wrote a poem on the white enamelled side of an old gas oven. Page one of 'The Tin Book' was born. Other 'Tin Pages' were created and exhibited in locations far and wide. 'Soon there were Tins in London and Liverpool and thickly clustered in many parts.' One hundred tins later, and they were exhibited together in the Precinct Centre Library, Manchester, in February 1979. This second paperback edition brings this extraordinary collection to a modern audience in a different context. We hope that we have managed to retain some of the energy and ingenuity with which these poems were first created.

Download or read book playtime written by Andrew McMillan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **WINNER OF THE POLARI PRIZE 2019** ‘Vivid, accessible and honest, sometimes uncomfortably so’ Alan Bennett, London Review of Books In these intimate, sometimes painfully frank poems, Andrew McMillan takes us back to childhood and early adolescence to explore the different ways we grow into our sexual selves and our adult identities. Examining our teenage rites of passage: those dilemmas and traumas that shape us – eating disorders, masturbation, loss of virginity – the poet examines how we use bodies, both our own and other people’s, to chart our progress towards selfhood. McMillan’s award-winning debut collection, physical, was praised for a poetry that was tight and powerful, raw and tender, and playtime expands that narrative frame and widens the gaze. Alongside poems in praise of the naivety of youth, there are those that explore the troubling intersections of violence, masculinity, class and sexuality, always taking the reader with them towards a better understanding of our own physicality. ‘isn’t this what human kind was made for’, McMillan asks in one poem, ‘telling stories learning where the skin/is most in need of touch’. These humane and vital poems are confessions, both in the spiritual and personal sense; they tell us stories that some of us, perhaps, have never found the courage to read before.

Download or read book These Mothers of Gods written by Rachel Bower and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Bower's accomplished debut collection seeks to recover the lived experiences of women who have often appeared only fleetingly in official histories. The poems push towards a more expansive concept of motherhood, including our collective responsibilities for lives, environments and natural worlds. With heartfelt lyricism, Bower weaves stories of labour and love. In moments of fear and determination for survival, this collection is a hymn to the people and places which shape us. "In Rachel Bower's powerful new collection, you will find mothers displaced, mothers deceived, mothers labouring to stay sane and alive. But woven amongst any vulnerability is a fierce celebration of the mother-body, opened up to prove the unique and complex stories each one holds. I am grateful to Bower for finding these women - historical, biblical, autobiographical - and offering me such inventive, arresting poems, brim-full with blistering truths." - Rebecca Goss, Poet "Powerful, compelling and exquisitely crafted, These Mothers of Gods is a tour-de-force of female-focussed storytelling." - Teika Marija Smits, Writer and Editor "Rachel Bower's poems show us mothering as we've never seen it before, through time, history, and mythology. The collection centres the voice of the other, while conveying poignant experiences of joy, elation, triumph and hardness. These image-rich verses are poems of intense curiosity and beauty." - Jason Allen-Paisant
