Child Songs of Cheer

Evaleen Stein

Sinopse

In 'Child Songs of Cheer,' Evaleen Stein presents an exquisite collection of poetry that resonates with the joyfulness and purity of a child's perspective. The literary style of Stein's compositions is imbued with a melodious and rhythmic quality that echoes the gleeful heartbeats of youth. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century literary traditions, these poems reflect a bygone era's nostalgia and a keen observation of the world through innocent eyes. Each piece in this anthology is not just a verse, but a tender embrace of the simple wonders that construct a child's world, artfully delivered with Stein's gentle cadence and vivid imagery.

Evaleen Stein was an author and poet profoundly influenced by the pastoral beauty of the Indiana landscape where she spent her life. Her literary works draw from the wellspring of her surroundings and the historical contexts of her time, showcasing a remarkable empathy towards childhood whimsy and a deep understanding of children's literature.

As the poems of 'Child Songs of Cheer' traverse the gamut of exuberance, contemplation, and joviality that characterizes youth, readers of all ages are invited to revisit the emotions and imaginations of their own childhoods. This collection is a testament to the timeless nature of Stein's work, further cementing her position as a cherished voice within the canon of children's poetry.

Kim Dower

Death has never felt so alive in this “bold and sexy and smart” collection of poems (Stephen Dunn).   From alluring titles to haunting last lines, the poems in Kim Dower’s fourth collection soothe, terrify, and always surprise, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Acclaimed for combining the accessible and profound, humor and heartache, Dower’s poetry continues to be quirky, dark, sexy, disarmingly candid, and moving, and here she explores the landscape of death and its intersections with love, longing, obsession, sadness, joy, and beauty.   Wise and soaring, these poems bravely imagine another life beyond the one we all know, where even the angels surrounding the graves are wearing bikinis, smoking Kool Lights.

The Wild God of the World - An...

Robinson Jeffers

“The forgotten giant of American poetry . . . For those who would discover Jeffers . . . this is the place to start—and a place to return again and again.” —Tim Hunt, Washington State University   Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not only the greatest poet that the American West has produced but also a major poet of the twentieth century in the tradition of American prophetic poetry. This anthology serves as an introduction to Jeffers’s work for the general reader and for students in courses on American poetry.    Jeffers composed each volume of his verse around one or two long narrative or dramatic poems. The Wild God of the World follows this practice: in it, Cawdor, one of Jeffers’s most powerful narratives, is surrounded by a representative selection of shorter poems.    At the end of the book, the editor has provided revealing statements about Jeffers’s poetry and poetics, and about his philosophy of nature and human nature.  “Of all the poets of his generation, [Robinson Jeffers] made our relation to this earth and sea and sky and wheeling seasons and the evolutionary processes that made trees and salmon runs and hunting hawks, his subject. As that relation grows more troubled, his words become more necessary. To have this beautifully edited and freshly seen anthology is a gift.” —Robert Hass, University of California, Berkeley

The Carrying - Poems

Ada Limón

NBCC Award Winner: “The narrative lyrics in this remarkable collection . . . could stand as compressed stories about anxiety and the body.” —The New York Times Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still National Book Award finalist Ada Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives. “Fine then, / I’ll take it,” she writes. “I’ll take it all.” “Gorgeous, thought-provoking . . . simple, striking images.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Exquisite.” —The Washington Post “Pitch-perfect . . . full of poems to savor and share . . . She writes with remarkable directness about painful experiences normally packaged in euphemism and, in doing so, invites the readers to enter a world where abundant joy exists alongside and simultaneous to loss.” —Minneapolis Star-TribuneWinner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry
