From the Humble Pen of a Poet
Author: Wally EdmondPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 146978341X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
To interpret poetry is then to lose the entity of poetry itself. A simple poem that may find one reader simply laughing at its rhyme, just might yet lead another to be found simply wondering what the true intention of that verse was. Simply put It just might not have one in the first place! A rhyme and reason? Well, this book of poetry is literally 'jam-packed' full of them both. So get ready to sit back comfortably in your favorite chair, treat yourself to a nice hot cup of coffee or tea, and before long you will soon begin to find out the reason why you're taking your valuable time to read this collection of verses. There are a wide variety of tasteful poems throughout this book, but in a sense they were designed to enlighten the reader's taste buds, in the desire that they will truly savor the heartfelt intention that this book of poetry was written for. Wally Edmond's prolific style of poetry had been featured for over twenty years through the late Bob Stalder's poetry column "Poet's Pen," which was published in the Beatrice Daily Sun, a Nebraskan newspaper. He and his family live in the rural town of Wymore Nebraska, where he enjoys writing his featured column "Artistically Arbor" for the Wymore Arbor State, a local weekly newspaper. The column is mixed with Wally's, poetry, quotations, and short stories.

The Perseverance
Author: Raymond AntrobusPublisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 195114242X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In the wake of his father’s death, the speaker in Raymond Antrobus’ The Perseverance travels to Barcelona. In Gaudi’s Cathedral, he meditates on the idea of silence and sound, wondering whether acoustics really can bring us closer to God. Receiving information through his hearing aid technology, he considers how deaf people are included in this idea. “Even though,” he says, “I have not heard / the golden decibel of angels, / I have been living in a noiseless / palace where the doorbell is pulsating / light and I am able to answer.” The Perseverance is a collection of poems examining a d/Deaf experience alongside meditations on loss, grief, education, and language, both spoken and signed. It is a book about communication and connection, about cultural inheritance, about identity in a hearing world that takes everything for granted, about the dangers we may find (both individually and as a society) if we fail to understand each other.

My Lost Poets
Author: Philip LevinePublisher: Knopf
ISBN: 045149329X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Essays, speeches, and journal entries from one of our most admired and best-loved poets that illuminate how he came to understand himself as a poet, the events and people that he wrote about, and the older poets who influenced him. In prose both as superbly rendered as his poetry and as down-to-earth and easy as speaking, Levine reveals the things that made him the poet he became. In the title essay, originally the final speech of his poet laureate year, he recounts how as a boy he composed little speeches walking in the night woods near his house and how he later realized these were his first poems. He wittily takes on the poets he studied with in the Iowa Writing Program: John Berryman, who was his great teacher and lifelong friend, and Robert Lowell, who was neither. His deepest influences--jazz, Spain, the working people of Detroit--are reflected in many of the pieces. There are essays on Spanish poets he admires, William Carlos Williams, Wordsworth, Keats, and others. A wonderful, moving collection of writings that add to our knowledge and appreciation of Philip Levine--both the man and the poet.

What Poets Are Like
Author: Gary SotoPublisher: Sasquatch Books
ISBN: 1570618755
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Gary Soto is a widely published author of children's and young adult fiction, and he is an acclaimed poet--often referred to as one of the nation's first Chicano poets. With a sharp sense of storytelling and a sly wit, What Poets Are Like is a memoir of the writing life that shares the keen observation, sense of self and humor of such writers as Sherman Alexie and Nora Ephron. In some 60 short episodes, this book captures moments of a writer's inner and public life, close moments with friends and strangers, occasional reminders of a poet's generally low place in the cultural hierarchy; time spent with cats; the curious work of writing. He tells the stories of his time spent in bookstores and recounts the glorious, then tragic, arc of Cody's Bookstore in Berkeley, ending with the author whose scheduled event fell on the day after the business shut down, but who stood outside the locked door and read aloud just the same. As all writers do, Soto suffers the slings and arrows of rejection, often from unnamed Midwest poetry journals, and seeks the solace of a friendly dog at such moments. Soto jabs at the crumbs of reward available to writers--a prize nomination here, a magazine interview there--and notes the toll they take on a frail ego. The pleasure Soto takes in the written word, a dose of comic relief plus his appreciation of the decisive moment in life make this an engaging and readable writer's confession.

Poetry Dedicated: To My Dear Loving Wife... Thoa Allen Beyond Any MeasureBy chance on a blind dateI met a fine lady that became my soul mate.Her heartfelt feelings surely caredThat whichever she shared.My life was born anew...Excitement filled the air and she was happy too.Spending precious time togetherwith no stormy weather.Months...became joyous years,Never an argument or any sobbing tears.Our lives now have a new meaningWe found worth completing.My dear spouse turned our ranchInto a kennel, giving rescue dogs a chance.Finding parents for each furfriendDoes seem to have no end.I'm happy as can beWith the lady of my dreams for the world to see.Truly my wife is a treasure...Beyond any measure.
