Life on Mars
Author: Tracy K. Smith

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
Winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize * Poet Laureate of the United States * * A New York Times Notable Book of 2011 and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * * A New Yorker, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year * New poetry by the award-winning poet Tracy K. Smith, whose "lyric brilliance and political impulses never falter" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) You lie there kicking like a baby, waiting for God himself To lift you past the rungs of your crib. What Would your life say if it could talk? —from "No Fly Zone" With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. In these brilliant new poems, Tracy K. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation.

Bright Star

Publisher: 12 Poems to Inspire
ISBN: 9781913349790
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Reconnect with the wonder of the world through the powerful pleasure of inspirational poetry. The end of one year and the start of the next is a wonderful time for reading poetry, especially inspirational poetry. The shortest or longest day of the year has always been a powerful metaphor for poets. Whichever hemisphere we're in, whether we're in a day of longest light or deepest dark, at this special time of the year, we know that things are on the turn. And we celebrate the human ability to welcome a new cycle. That's the theme of this chapbook of twelve poems to inspire: beginning anew. It makes the perfect seasonal gift for yourself or another. You'll find a poem here for each of the twelve days of the season. None relates directly to the story we've been telling for 2,000 years about what happened in Bethlehem on a certain December 25th, but all pay tribute to the spirit represented by Christmas--and Dongzhi, Hanukkah, Makaraa Sankrānti, Meán Geimhridh and all the other mid-winter festivals. These are poems that encourage us to rejoice in the human capacity for rebirth. Immersing ourselves in meaningful words, we can reconnect with our own creative life-force. Feeling the light within, we can begin again.

Pages :
Book Description
"I'm sure I never said to myself: 'Now, Jim--why don't you sit down and write a poem.' It's still a mystery to me, but I think probably it's something that happened by accident--like a lot of things have happened in my life." So begins this delightful collection of poetry by America's best-loved actor, Jimmy Stewart. Interspersed with vivid recollections and charming illustrations, the poems document a life that isn't too different from yours or mine. Jimmy Stewart won the hearts of generations of movie viewers with a confused innocence and stammering delivery that made his acting seem genuine and effortless. Somehow he managed to make the boy next door into a national hero. Now, in Jimmy Stewart and His Poems, the consummate Everyman shares tales from his everyday life. From fishing trips and dog stories to a hilarious account of a photo safari where the camera was lost to a hungry hyena, the poems are related in Jimmy Stewart's inimitable voice and are enlivened with charming illustrations. The book confirms what we all expected--that the real Jimmy Stewart is every bit as endearing as the film characters he's portrayed. Jimmy Stewart and His Poems is a perfect gift, one that fans will treasure as much as Jimmy Stewart's timeless performances.
