Book Description
In the neon-drenched year 2180, Amara, a brilliant linguist, stumbles upon a dusty artifact – an ancient manuscript. As she deciphers its cryptic code, she discovers it's not just a text, but a bridge across time. Through the power of the manuscript, Amara finds herself connected to Elias, a passionate poet from the 1700s. Their initial exchanges crackle with wonder. Amara describes a world of gleaming chrome and dazzling technology, while Elias paints vivid pictures of a bygone era, filled with horse-drawn carriages and candlelit soirées. Their letters, filled with wit and curiosity, blossom into a unique and profound bond. Despite the centuries separating them, Amara and Elias find solace in each other's words. Amara shares the loneliness of a world dominated by technology, while Elias expresses his longing for a world brimming with the beauty and rawness of nature, a concept almost forgotten in Amara's time. As their connection deepens, a forbidden romance ignites. They navigate the vast cultural and temporal gaps, sharing dreams and aspirations across the centuries. The manuscript becomes their lifeline, a portal where their souls meet and their love flourishes. But their connection is fraught with challenges. The technology that allows them to communicate is unstable, and the threat of the link severing looms large. Can their love transcend the boundaries of time, or will their connection fade into a mere whisper of what could have been?

Sonnet's Shakespeare
Author: Sonnet L'Abbe
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 0771073100
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Bronwen Wallace Memorial Award-winning poet Sonnet L'Abbé returns with her third collection, in which a mixed-race woman decomposes her inheritance of Shakespeare by breaking open the sonnet and inventing an entirely new poetic form. DOROTHY LIVESAY POETRY PRIZE FINALIST RAYMOND SOUSTER AWARD FINALIST How can poetry grapple with how some cultures assume the place of others? How can English-speaking writers use the English language to challenge the legacy of colonial literary values? In Sonnet's Shakespeare, one young, half-dougla (mixed South Asian and Black) poet tries to use "the master's tools" on the Bard's "house," attempting to dismantle his monumental place in her pysche and in the poetic canon. In a defiant act of literary patricide and a feat of painstaking poetic labour, Sonnet L'Abbé works with the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets as a space she will inhabit, as a place of power she will occupy. Letter by letter, she sits her own language down into the white spaces of Shakespeare's poems, until she overwhelms the original text and effectively erases Shakespeare's voice by subsuming his words into hers. In each of the 154 dense new poems of Sonnet's Shakespeare sits one "aggrocultured" Shakespearean sonnet--displaced, spoken over, but never entirely silenced. L'Abbé invented the process of Sonnet's Shakespeare to find a way to sing from a body that knows both oppression and privilege. She uses the procedural techniques of Oulipian constraint and erasure poetries to harness the raw energies of her hyperconfessional, trauma-forged lyric voice. This is an artist's magnum opus and mixed-race girlboy's diary; the voice of a settler on stolen Indigenous territories, a sexual assault survivor, a lover of Sylvia Plath and Public Enemy. Touching on such themes as gender identity, pop music, nationhood, video games, and the search for interracial love, this book is a poetic achievement of undeniable scope and significance.

The Art of the Sonnet
Author: Stephen Burt
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674048140
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
"Few poetic forms have found more uses than the sonnet in English, and none is now more recognizable. It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, and one of the briefest. A mere fourteen lines, fashioned by intricate rhymes, it is, as Dante Gabriel Rossetti called it, "a moment's monument." From the Renaissance to the present, the sonnet has given poets a superb vehicle for private contemplation, introspection, and the expression of passionate feelings and thoughts." "The Art of the Sonnet collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The commentaries by Stephen Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and insights, and, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors examine the sonnet form and its long and fascinating history, from its origin in medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the sixteenth century to sonnet writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking parts of the world." --Book Jacket.

Solving the World's Problems
Author: Robert Lee Brewer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935708902
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The "World" in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) "splashing around in dark puddles." And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of "pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south." I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something

The Cambridge Companion to the Sonnet
Author: A. D. Cousins
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139825399
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Beginning with the early masters of the sonnet form, Dante and Petrarch, the Companion examines the reinvention of the sonnet across times and cultures, from Europe to America. In doing so, it considers sonnets as diverse as those by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, George Herbert and e. e. cummings. The chapters explore how we think of the sonnet as a 'lyric' and what is involved in actually trying to write one. The book includes a lively discussion between three distinguished contemporary poets - Paul Muldoon, Jeff Hilson and Meg Tyler - on the experience of writing a sonnet, and a chapter which traces the sonnet's diffusion across manuscript, print, screen and the internet. A fresh and authoritative overview of this major poetic form, the Companion expertly guides the reader through the sonnet's history and development into the global multimedia phenomenon it is today.
