A.M. Klein: Complete Poems
Author: A.M. Klein
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487590938
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 1187
Book Description
It is for his poetry that A.M. Klein is best known and most warmly remembered. This collection includes all Klein's poetry, both original works and translations from Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, and Latin. Many of them, coming from all periods of his careers, have never been published. The poems are arranged chronologically according to date of composition. This makes possible, for the first time, an appreciation of Klein's poetic development. The editor's introduction places this development in the perspective of Klein's life and time, and in particular explores Klein's lifelong struggle to reconcile his dual vocations as both a Jewish and a modernist writer. The textual apparatus identifies all authoritative versions for each poem and lists all emendations and all substative variants in both published and mauscript versions. The explanatory notes gloss obscure terms and references. They also provide a rich context for appreciation and interpretation by drawing connections with Klein's life, his wide reading, and his work as a whole. Wherever possible, Klein's own numerous, but scattered, comments on his poems have been cited.

Sweet People Are Everywhere
Author: Alice Walker
Publisher: Tra Publishing
ISBN: 9781734761818
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Sweet People Are Everywhere, an illustrated picture book featuring a poem by internationally renowned writer and activist Alice Walker, is a powerful celebration of humanity. The poem addresses a young boy getting his first passport, taking the boy––and the reader––on a journey through a series of countries around the globe where “sweet people” can be found. Sweet People Are Everywhere, an illustrated picture book for children ages 4–8 (and readers of all ages) by internationally renowned writer and activist Alice Walker, focuses on a common thread of the “sweet people” who can be found all over the world. The poem addresses a young boy getting his first passport, taking the boy––and the reader––on a journey through a series of countries around the globe. The poem is a powerful celebration of humanity and globalism, embodying a generosity of spirit that is inspiring, timely, and timeless. After journeying through dozens of countries and pointing out the sweet people in each place, Walker writes these beautiful, hopeful, and haunting words: We are lost if we can no longer experience how sweet human beings can be. Promise me never to forget this. The book’s full-color illustrations by Quim Torres include a world map highlighting the many countries referenced, and the book includes an interview with Alice Walker. The evocative free verse poem was first published in Walker’s 2018 poetry collection Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart, winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work. Library Journal praised the book for its “poems of love and hope” and, in a starred review, Booklist commended Walker’s “prodding wisdom of an elder suggesting that we can cope by taking comfort in beauty, friendship, and human kindness; by always expressing gratitude; and by turning inward to hold ourselves accountable for what we contribute.” Sweet People Are Everywhere is Walker’s sixth book for children, and it explores and builds on some of the same themes as her 2007 title Why War Is Never a Good Idea; her first children’s book was Langston Hughes: American Poet (1974).

The poetry of toxic love
Author: Guido Pagliarino
Publisher: Tektime
ISBN: 8835443091
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
In previous works based on the characters Vittorio D'Aiazzo and Ranieri Velli, ”L'ira dei vilipesi”, ”Il mostro a tre braccia”, ”I satanassi di Torino”, the pair were both police officers (or Public Security, as it was called in the past), commissioner the first, his adjutant the second. In this subsequent work, while Vittorio has remained in service and risen to the rank of deputy chief commissioner, Ranieri has courageously left the uniform with its fixed salary to devote himself exclusively to his passion, writing; and lives with difficulty on the pen, working occasionally as a journalist at a newspaper and underpaid editor in a publishing house; and this time, both in the novel ”The Poetry of Toxic Love” and in the short story that follows it, he is above all the main character, not Vittorio, even though his friend certainly does not remain in the background. In previous works based on the characters Vittorio D'Aiazzo and Ranieri Velli, ”L'ira dei vilipesi” (“The Wrath of the Reviled”), ”Il mostro a tre braccia”, ”I satanassi di Torino”, the pair were both police officers (or officers of Public Security, as it was called in the past), commissioner the first, his adjutant the latter. In this subsequent work, while Vittorio had remained in the service and had risen to the rank of deputy police commissioner, Ranieri had courageously left the uniform with its fixed salary to devote himself exclusively to his passion, writing. He barely scrapes along relying on his pen, as part-time journalist at a newspaper and underpaid editor in a publishing house; and this time, in both the novel ”The poetry of toxic love” and the short story that follows it, he is the main character, not Vittorio, even if his friend certainly does not rest in the background. Returning home on a July day in 1969, Ranieri finds a letter from New York in the mail informing him that he has won a rich literary prize for his poetic work, translated in the United States. Shortly after, there are attacks on his life cloaked as accidents, which are unsuccessful thanks to his athleticism and martial arts ability. Were these attempts at revenge by one of the many criminals that Ranieri had brought to justice before leaving the police force? Or, as he comes to suspect, does the motive lie precisely in that literary prize? Or even more surprisingly, can a sylloge of his poems which were recently printed completely without his knowledge be the motive? Valli flies to New York for the award ceremony and is greeted at Kennedy Airport by a young Italian American, Norma Costante, a sexy beauty who has been engaged by the Valente Foundation, organizer of the award, to assist him as an interpreter and escort. She, close to divorce from her husband, a bisexual painter who betrayed her by participating in orgies with his male and female models, seems to fall passionately in love with him while Ranieri, certainly, warms to her; but a bitter fact will emerge from the sensual lady’s past. Meanwhile, in America too, on several occasions someone tries to kill the poet, always masking their criminal attempts as fortuitous accidents; and although Ranieri still manages to escape death, other people however are affected, first John Crispy, a prominent American broker who administers the assets of Donald Montgomery, a young man with a cold character, director of the FBI in New York and candidate for the United States Senate: he perhaps hates his administrator because he is close to marrying his mother, the richest woman in America. At a certain point one fact seems certain, that despite himself the poet has become a pawn in an international criminal chess game that concerns Italy in particular, a country which in that year of 1969, was prey to social violence and civil unrest.
