The pattern in Hardy's poetry is the eternal conflict between irreconcilables that was, for him, the first principle, and indeed the only principle, of universal order. Hynes analyzes this pattern as it is manifested in the philosophical context of the poems, their structure, diction, and imagery. Originally published in 1961.

Pattern Poetry
Author: Dick Higgins
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780887064135
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Pattern poetry--poetry from before 1900 that fuses literature and visual art--has existed since the times of ancient Crete and Egypt. Less well known than modern visual poetry, pattern poetry has been produced in most European and American literatures, and, as close analogues, in many oriental literatures. This book tells the history of pattern poetry, documenting and classifying more than 2,000 works. Illustrations of each major genre of pattern poem are included. The book also explores related forms, such as graphic music notations, shaped prose, sound poetry, and poetic labyrinths, to name a few. A glossary, essays by two world authorities on the oriental analogues to the pattern poem, and the first full bibliography on pattern poetry complete the work. With this book, Dick Higgins has provided an indispensable tool for opening up the area of pattern poetry to the scholar and the lay reader alike, bringing order to what has been an obscure and confusing area, and delighting the eye and mind by casting light on these forgotten treasures.

Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry
Author: Marcia Birken
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9401205612
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
You are invited to join a fascinating journey of discovery, as Marcia Birken and Anne C. Coon explore the intersecting patterns of mathematics and poetry — bringing the two fields together in a new way. Setting the tone with humor and illustrating each chapter with countless examples, Birken and Coon begin with patterns we can see, hear, and feel and then move to more complex patterns. Number systems and nursery rhymes lead to the Golden Mean and sestinas. Simple patterns of shape introduce tessellations and concrete poetry. Fractal geometry makes fractal poetry possible. Ultimately, patterns for the mind lead to questions: How do mathematicians and poets conceive of proof, paradox, and infinity? What role does analogy play in mathematical discovery and poetic expression? The book will be of special interest to readers who enjoy looking for connections across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Discovering Patterns in Mathematics and Poetry features centuries of creative work by mathematicians, poets, and artists, including Fibonacci, Albrecht Dürer, M. C. Escher, David Hilbert, Benoit Mandelbrot, William Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, E.E. Cummings, and many contemporary experimental poets. Original illustrations include digital photographs, mathematical and poetic models, and fractal imagery.

Interference Pattern
Author: J. O. Morgan
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473523214
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
At first, these extraordinary poems may unsettle and disturb, but the next reading could be one of rapture and astonishment; it all hinges on your point of view. Like the optical illusion of the maiden and the crone, you can only see one image at a time; the brain deciding which is the figure and which the background. It is a book that acts out its own subjects – dualities, ambiguities, boundaries – through physical dislocation, through patterns of interference. This is a collage of many voices: eager or dispassionate, unreliable or matter-of-fact – depending, as with everything else, on your angle of entry. Some of the voices fear involvement; some are afraid of doing nothing; some, perhaps, have already gone too far. Like the image on the cover, these pieces shimmer and buzz in their own instability. Is this punishment or reward? What is the yellow smoke? Will there be bodies floating under the plastic pool-cover? Are we, like the hotel manager, seeing visions? Volatile, troubling, but endlessly interesting, these poems show J. O. Morgan working and compressing language into a precarious, frictional state. As a result, Interference Pattern is a unique reading experience: vivid, challenging and completely original.

Nests and Strangers
Author: Timothy Yu (Professor of literature)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780932716811
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Cultural Writing. Poetry. Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. "What is an avant- garde Asian American Poetic?" NESTS AND STRANGERS: ON ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN POETS offers an investigation into the contextual identities of diaspora, sound, and the materiality of objectification found both in and on the body through the possibilities of language and page. Essayists Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, and Dorothy Wang provide a critical framework on the life, works, politics, and poetics of Asian American poets Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil, four authors whose bodies of work represent the full range of Asian American poetry written since the 1970s. Authors include: Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Dorothy Wang, and Mg Roberts. "What I first thought would be a coincidental combination of very different poets and poetries unexpectedly reveals a logical trajectory from twentieth-century Asian American activism to radically innovative poetry. These poets don't just defy erasure or silencing of their individual or chosen- as-collective identities-they create and re-create selves unimaginable to those who would have subsumed their voices. The terms 'Asian American' or 'Asian American poetry' can be unsatisfactory for reducing difference. But after reading this collection, I actually opened myself up to the possibility of accepting the label: 'Asian American woman poet.'" Eileen R. Tabios "Encompassing an impressively wide range of poetic strategies and orientations within what might seem a narrow category, this lively collection of essays explores a group of Asian American women poets bonded together by a groundbreaking small press whose expansive vision offered a stage on which new, challenging forms might emerge. In so doing, these essays participate in a celebration that is both timely and well deserved." Joseph Jonghyun Jeon "This urgently needed collection of essays offers new readings of the poetry of Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil as engaged with what Sarah Dowling, in an essay on Kim, calls 'the problem of how one becomes, or is prevented from becoming, a subject over time.' As the title implies, NESTS AND STRANGERS both highlights the aesthetic heterogeneity of poetry by Asian American women while at the same time acknowledging conditions of subjection that inform the poets' political commitments and make intricate forms of intimacy and embodied perception possible in the writing."
