Maison d'édition: The Poetry Business
Chloe Elliott's Encyclopaedia is playful and visceral, exploring boundaries of identity and the search for meaning in poems that delight with richly tactile language. Formally varied, these poems are unflinching in their physicality.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet, born on December 10th, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd. She experimented with expression, in order to free it from conventional restraints, and crafted a new type of persona for the first person. She breathed her last in 1886.Voir livre
This is a collection of poems, in the form of an entire community speaking from beyond the grave about their lives, and, in some cases, gossiping about their neighbors' lives. It's interesting to hear how other people perceive a particular character, and how that character responds.Voir livre
"Poetry for people who hate reading poems." This book of poetry explores the divide between urban and rural America from the perspective of someone who has lived in and loved both. It is for anyone who has experienced the dissonance of feeling at home in two very different places at once, or who has felt caught in between cultures, ideologies, religions, morals, values, or ideas.Voir livre
Omar Khayyám (1048–1131) was a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. In the Western world he is most famous for his many rubáiyát (quatrains), a four line rhyming stanza, which were popularized in an extensively reworked collection in English by Edward Fitzgerald, the first edition of which appeared in 1859. However, Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the translators of Omar Khayyam’s rubáiyát. As well as translating the poems of Hafez and Rumi, Edward Henry Whinfield (1836-1922) also produced a much more extensive English version of the rubáiyát. In 1883 he published a bilingual edition of 500 quatrains, in which the Persian original is presented side by side with the English translation. This is a bilingual recording. Each quatrain will be read first in Persian and then in English translation. While listeners unfamiliar with the Persian language will not able to appreciate the meaning of the quatrains in their original form, everyone can at least enjoy the musicality of Omar’s verse, which Whinfield often succeeds in capturing.
