No Doubt I Will Return a Different Man

Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. "Wray's poems are wry luxury items of intelligence, sheathed in the latent double of speech, where a word like family might mean, in the queer parlance, refuge, but also, refutation. This is an interrogative, primal, mythic collection, a poetry of privacy and disclosure, of contradiction, a disabused landscape under 'razor-wire stars.'"--Randall Mann "NO DOUBT I WILL RETURN A DIFFERENT MAN explores how complicated relationships between fathers and sons cast long shadows over the future self. In Wray's poems, eros shades at times uncomfortably into social violence and self-abnegation, making this book both love song and elegy to masculinity and its performances, to queerness, and to self-invention. Wray's sharp-eared lyrics move between the darkly campy and the sublime, proving that paternal elegies themselves are 'queer things' whose shifting modes allow him to investigate the limits of fatherhood itself."--Paisley Rekdal "Situated in the long posterity of one of the most infamously shattered queer lives, this tense excavation of Alan Turing, this careful and sumptuous overlay of men's secrecies and assignations seventy years apart, is fascinating. NO DOUBT I WILL RETURN A DIFFERENT MAN delves for origins, stirs encryption with erotics, and makes 'caught looking' palpable in its thrill and thrall."--Brian Blanchfield

A Lonely Pen
Author: Benjamin Qaadir Shambala
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1645449793
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
A Lonely Pen refers to the relationship between me and the instrumentation I use to relay my thoughts and feelings to the world. It also uses personification, metaphor, and hyperbole to illustrate the passion involved with writing itself. The title describes this all perfectly and, in my humble opinion, is my most important piece. We will see if history indeed bears me out. A writer, any writer of any kind, has to create an audience and tell them a story. The success of the writing has somewhat less to do with the skill of the writer and his techniques than it will have to do with the reception and interpretations of his audience. Why does a writer write? He writes because he must write. He writes as easily as he speaks and as necessary as he breathes. Once written, they all have a life and destiny of their own beyond the writer’s control yet gaining for him his immortality.

The Image of Modern Man in T. S. Eliot's Poetry
Author: Mariwan Nasradeen Hasan Barzinji
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 9781477247051
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
The Image of Modern Man in T. S. Eliot's Poetry The book , presents an original understanding of The Image of Modern Man in T. S. Eliots complex and difficult poems in an easy and understandable way. Eliots vision of the Modern Man and the modern world is depicted throughout Eliots most well-known poems. Eliot was criticized by some critics for the quality of his work. The aim of this book is to show what an excellent and successful writer he is, to reveal the value and the contemporaneity of his work. His poetry is highly evaluated for its unique way of depicting the Modern humanity by realizing their problems as well as finding solutions for them. The book is a great help not only for students, but also for researchers as the writer has spent much time in reading Eliots Poems. He has also written an ample introduction about modernism, modernity, modern literature and modern poetry, which might be enough to understand the rise of modern poetry. ... All of Eliots poems especially The Waste Land has presented readers with all the aspects of the modern life. Life is depicted as a mirror, broken and shattered into pieces as it is clear in the different parts of the poem. Eliot unlike many poets did not leave the modern man lost in despair but he finds them, their peace of mind by having a true and stable faith as well as their turning to God. The only solution for the entire problems of modern man is to turn to God and neglect the world that completely occupied them spiritually. ...Modern man has lost his values especially women by only looking after children, many of them turned to prostitution because they did not have any source of income; therefore, they used that as a way to earn money to maintain life. These are the characteristics of the modern city, which are shared by all the countries, especially Europe. Eliot insists on the necessity of turning from world to God. He believed that God can solve their problems, because man or any other earthly power could not change that gloomy and aimless life, which modern man complained against.
