Poems by Joe
Author: Joe Booze
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449030386
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
The poems you will read in this book came to me as they did in my first book, "Poems by Joe" in many different ways. Some are the results of news broadcast or from a program while listening to the raido. Others, while people watching or just sitting and allowing my mind to wander. Even so, some were very painful to write, such as the fire that destroyed a day care center in northern Mexico where over 40 children died as a result of the flames and fumes. Tearfully I wrote the the poem, "Why This Way." An article in our local newspaper about women and young girls being raped so freely in South Africa inspired me to write the poem, It's All Free." However, there are some that I wrote are family related. "My Sister Winnie," "Her Light," "Until Tomorrow" plus "The Other Side," and "Judy." On the lighter side you will find, "No Ordinary Bird," "Hurricane Kate" and "Our Friend Joe," quite amusing. You will find that all the poems are clear and uncomplicated to read.

All The Poems Contained Within Will Mean Everything To Everyone
Author: Joe Dunthorne
Publisher: Rough Trade Books
ISBN: 191272247X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
This is the story of one man's dream to edit a groundbreaking contemporary poetry anthology, of how that dream was actually a lot of work, what with reading many bad poems and also competent ones and handwriting rejection letters and using his wife's family money to pay postage and production costs, all while trying to bounce his newborn son to sleep. It is the story of the epiphanies that come with extreme tiredness: that maybe, just maybe, the greatest poetry book of all is one that contains no poems.

Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara
Author: Joe LeSueur
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429929030
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
An unprecedented eyewitness account of the New York School, as seen between the lines of O'Hara's poetry Joe LeSueur lived with Frank O'Hara from 1955 until 1965, the years when O'Hara wrote his greatest poems, including "To the Film Industry in Crisis," "In Memory of My Feelings," "Having a Coke with You," and the famous Lunch Poems—so called because O'Hara wrote them during his lunch break at the Museum of Modern Art, where he worked as a curator. (The artists he championed include Jackson Pollock, Joseph Cornell, Grace Hartigan, Jane Freilicher, Joan Mitchell, and Robert Rauschenberg.) The flowering of O'Hara's talent, cut short by a fatal car accident in 1966, produced some of the most exuberant, truly celebratory lyrics of the twentieth century. And it produced America's greatest poet of city life since Whitman. Alternating between O'Hara's poems and LeSueur's memory of the circumstances that inspired them, Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara is a literary commentary like no other—an affectionate, no-holds-barred memoir of O'Hara and the New York that animated his work: friends, lovers, movies, paintings, streets, apartments, music, parties, and pickups. This volume, which includes many of O'Hara's best-loved poems, is the most intimate, true-to-life portrait we will ever have of this quintessential American figure and his now legendary times.

Disfortune
Author: Joe Wenderoth
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 9780819512260
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
Wenderoth's poetry features Terse and haunting lyrics that mark a new intimacy with the world Disfortune is not in the mainstream of American poetic speech, nor is it easily placed into any of the well-known poetic speech-camps that have arisen on its margins. Terse, haunting lyrics expose the irreducible contradictions of living, wherein "the talking-singing, the whole talking-/singing ball of yarn, begins to unravel." Deceptively casual in tone, these poems offer startling confrontations with "the unoriginal/oblivion," with "the contrived delicacy/of what is emptied and kept." Joe Wenderoth sees "fortune" as the mute history of events proceeding toward the ultimate security; his poems arise from "disfortune," from the need "Just to sing the song that's kept you/quiet/all this time." This book is a rare occurrence, marking not only a new intimacy with the world, but also a remembering of the determined motion of intimacy itself.

When We Were Birds
Author: Joe Wilkins
Publisher: University of Arkansas Press
ISBN: 1557286973
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
In When We Were Birds, Joe Wilkins wrestles his attention away from the griefs, deprivations, and high prairies of his Montana childhood and turns toward "the bean-rusted fields and gutted factories of the Midwest," toward ordinary injustice and everyday sadness, toward the imminent birth of his son and his own confusions in taking up the mantle of fatherhood, toward faith and grace, legacy and luck. A panoply of voices are at play--the escaped convict, the late-night convenience store clerk, and the drowned child all have their say--and as this motley chorus rises and crests, we begin to understand something of what binds us and makes us human: while the world invariably breaks all our hearts, Wilkins insists that is the very "place / hope lives, in the breaking." Within a notable range of form, concern, and voice, the poems here never fail to sing. Whether praiseful or interrogating, When We Were Birds is a book of flight, light, and song. "When we were birds," Wilkins begins, "we veered & wheeled, we flapped & looped-- / it's true, we flew."
