Selected Poems

Aldous Huxley

Sinopse

In "Selected Poems," Aldous Huxley presents a curated collection that traverses the complexities of human experience through evocative imagery and philosophical depth. The poems encapsulate Huxley's signature lyrical style, marked by a keen attentiveness to language and a probing intellect that explores themes of nature, existential inquiry, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century literary movements, Huxley's work reflects the tension between modernity and spirituality, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the intellectual climate of his time. Aldous Huxley, renowned for his dystopian novel "Brave New World," was deeply influenced by his eclectic academic background and rich familial heritage in literature and science. His diverse experiences, including his interest in philosophy, psychology, and the human psyche, significantly informed his poetic voice. Furthermore, his exposure to various cultures and ideologies during his travels enriched his literary inquiries, making his poetry both introspective and expansive in its thematic scope. "Selected Poems" is a must-read for those seeking profound reflections on existence and beauty. Huxley's mastery of verse invites readers into a contemplative journey, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the intersections of poetry, philosophy, and the human experience.

Born in the USA - Exploring...

Emma Lazarus, Alan Seeger,...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades.

The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy.

Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.

New York state is more often overshadowed by its energetic and overwhelming five boroughs of its namesake city. But among its other cities, towns and countryside is a veritable who’s who of classic poets including Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton, Alan Seeger, Herman Melville and Philip Freneau. Their words and verse record and reveal a wide range of topics and subjects as they focus their poetic talents on the State of their birth.

Modern Man - Neanderthal with...

Mike Blake

Modern Man ~ Neanderthal with Manners 
Poem about the comparison of what it is to be a Modern man today. What it may have been yesterday, and what it 
was to compare it to our relatively recent ancestors from just a hundred thousand years or so 
- The Neanderthals. 
Would they have been as cruel to their fellow beings as possibly we are today. What does it mean to be classified as 
MODERN ! A modern Human ?

Lobe

Cia Mangat

Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.
A gold bangle, a barber's shop and Diana Princess of Wales in an Indian wedding video. In Lobe, Cia Mangat navigates what we inherit and what we leave behind in a book which plays with private and public mythologies. These poems create a world of love and surveillance, where Diana's revenge dress prepares for the paparazzi and aunties gossip in the threading parlor. Bodies are pierced and cut from magazines while the wedding halls beckon. Lobe is a book of resistance and reimagining, where Di escapes her buttercream wedding, a woman shaves her head and 'george michael will sing every song you have ever wanted to you /directly accompanied by hundreds of thousands of people you love'.

The Telling

Julia Webb

The Telling by Julia Webb is a distinctive and acutely-observed collection of poems that unravel the intricacies at the heart of human relationships – an insistent, quietly fierce tour de force from this Forward Prize commended poet. Moving and dark, we uncover the things that go unspoken between people despite their closeness.
In turning her forensic focus on what makes us human, and in particular what it is that glues us together or causes us to come apart, Julia Webb's poetry examines the wreckage of complex lives to understand where the fault lines and fractures lie. What are the stories that construct our families and relationships, and who gets to tell them? Can we trust the stories we inherit, and what happens when we recover the right to tell things for ourselves? These compelling, taut poems crackle with the electricity of the untold – of flawed humans and hurt, of daring and being, of reclaiming and persisting.
