Download The Sounds of Poetry Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works. "Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud. He devotes brief, informative chapters to accent and duration, syntax and line, like and unlike sounds, blank and free verse. He cites examples from the work of fifty different poets--from Shakespeare, Donne, and Herbert to W. C. Williams, Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, C. K. Williams, Louise Glück, and Frank Bidart. This ideal introductory volume belongs in the library of every poet and student of poetry.

For a child, the time between sundown and sunup can be an enchanting world of mystery and fun, a time when fairies dance, night creatures creak and hum, and stars reign over all. What are a child's thoughts when he or she hears the evening's first cricket, has a sleepover with friends, or looks up at the stars and wonders, "What's up there?"

Download Sho Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRY Eschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney’s Sho aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks. Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his “stove-like imagination,” Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.

Was murder planned for a vacation on the island of Capri? Will a hunter's longing for his love be realized? What does the dark world of death look like? What is an easy non-medical remedy for nightmares? The author resolves these and other intriguing questions in this collection of poetry and prose. Readers will go to Tahiti on a sailboat with an intrepid young woman who dares to travel alone with a strange man. And they will cross the Yellow Sea with a lonely man who reads Chinese philosophy. They will find sexuality in Gone to Hell, sad moments in Pit of Pain and happy hours in Where Gone. Other poems offer compelling commentaries on our lives and times, past and present. More than two dozen short prose pieces with humor, fantasy or confrontation add to the wide range of poetry subjects. The death of a bullying bigot is described in Trouble. In Anya, a young girl falls in love with a handsome gypsy boy. An innocent woman dies in Murder in Elmer, and in Mirrors, Kate sees events from her past. Many verses and short tales in this varied menu of fiction have been published previously.

Download Forest Has A Song Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A spider is a “never-tangling dangling spinner / knitting angles, trapping dinner.” A tree frog proposes, “Marry me. Please marry me… / Pick me now. / Make me your choice. / I’m one great frog / with one strong voice.” VanDerwater lets the denizens of the forest speak for themselves in twenty-six lighthearted, easy-to-read poems. As she observes, “Silence in Forest / never lasts long. / Melody / is everywhere / mixing in / with piney air. / Forest has a song.” The graceful, appealing watercolor illustrations perfectly suit these charming poems that invite young readers into the woodland world at every season.
