Sinopse

In "Songs of Two Nations," Algernon Charles Swinburne constructs a poignant poetic narrative that explores the themes of national identity and the complexities of imperialism within the socio-political context of the late 19th century. Through rich imagery and a lyrical style that seamlessly weaves together passion and melancholy, Swinburne delves into the contrasting ideals of England and the nascent American Republic. His work resonates with the Romantic tradition while simultaneously embracing the burgeoning modernist sensibilities, offering a multi-layered perspective on the interplay between liberty and oppression in a rapidly changing world. Swinburne, an enigmatic figure in Victorian literature, was deeply influenced by the turbulent politics of his time, including movements for social reform and the evolving relationship between Britain and its colonies. As a staunch advocate for artistic and personal freedom, Swinburne's defiance of conventional literary norms and candid engagement with controversial topics stem from his dedication to both art and justice, making him a voice of his generation. His dialogues with prominent thinkers, as well as his own experiences, undoubtedly shaped the themes he tackles in this collection. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the juxtaposition of nations, alongside a captivating use of language, will find "Songs of Two Nations" indispensable. Swinburne's ability to synthesize emotion and intellect creates an enriching experience, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of liberty and the cultural tensions that still resonate today.

    WARNING: This book is crazy and weird! It's worse than your uncle's scraggly beard! It's about old time cashiers, aliens and fish. When you're finished you will wish that you did something else; like eat grapes from a dish. There are much better things to do with your time then get addicted to these catchy rhymes. But if you have a minute or two then I'd love to entertain you. It's the most random book you'll ever read. It's about cheerleaders, drummers and even a steed! It even mentions God a time or two but please don't let that offend you. There's plenty of mischief to balance it out. No need to cry, scream or shout unless you catch a giant 400 pound trout! Haha! Enjoy!

    In recent years, our poetic landscape has evolved in profound and exciting ways. So has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, this book challenges what we think we know about "nature poetry," illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes—both literal and literary—are changing. 
     
     
     
    You Are Here features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape—be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop—offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States. 
     
     
     
    Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what "nature" and "poetry" are today, inviting listeners to experience both anew.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
    In this volume we bring together those professionals we engage to bring the full force of the law to bear where we have been wronged, either personally or professionally.  Despite the complex morals of such work their verse sparkles with knowing and humane wisdom.
