Snow Approaching on the Hudson
Author: August Kleinzahler
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374722242
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
August Kleinzahler has earned admiration for his musical, precise, wise, and sometimes madcap poems that are grounded in the wide array of places, people, and most especially voices he has encountered in his real and imaginative worlds. Snow Approaching on the Hudson is a collection that moves seamlessly through the often hypnogogic, porous realms of dreams, the past and present, inner and outer landscapes. His haunting, shifting atmospheres are peopled by characters, intimately portrayed, that are at one historical and invented. The poet's signature rhythmic propulsion serves as the engine for his newest collection, and his always masterful free verse conveys a life thoroughly lived and brilliantly perceived.

The Poet and the Fly
Author: Robert Hudson
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506457290
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Flies are the most ubiquitous of insects: buzzing, minuscule, and seemingly insignificant, they've been both plagues and minor annoyances for millennia. Rather than ignore these incredibly mundane and seemingly insignificant creatures, poets spanning centuries--from the seventeenth to the twentieth--and continents--from North America to Asia--have found that these ordinary bugs in fact illuminate deep spiritual mysteries. In this revelatory book, Robert Hudson considers seven poets, each of whom wrote a provocative poem about a fly. These poets--all mystics in their own way--ponder the simple fly and come to astounding conclusions. Considering Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and several other poets, The Poet and the Fly brings together the poetry, the flies, and the poets' own lives to explore the imaginative, and often prophetic, insights that come from the startling combination of poetry and flies. Ultimately, the message each poet offers to us through the fly is as relevant today as it was in their own time: the miracle of existence, the gift of mortality, the power of the imagination, the need for compassion, the existence of the soul, the mystery of everything around us, and the sacramental, grace-giving power of story.

The Hudson Letter
Author: Derek Mahon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780916390709
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Out of this absence he writes from lower Manhattan, addressing, in ramble or vigil, his absent lover, his children in London, Auden, Yeast's father, and other cosmic vagrants, "clutching our bits and pieces, arrogant in dereliction". In the eighteen sections of "The Hudson Letter", the gabble of a dockside bar, voices of a recycled Sappho and of an Irish immigrant girl reassuring her mother in Inishannon, and the midwinter, allnight sounds of the City intersperse with the voice of the poet - lively, witty, poignant, elegiac, humane, and thoroughly human. "The Hudson Letter" is prefaced by four new poems in different voices.
