The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. The world of nature is often the first resource a poet has for muse and inspiration. Nature has infinite ways of both revealing herself and putting together landscapes of majesty and wonder in everything from a flower to the universe. 1 - The Top 10 Poets - Nature - An Introduction 2 - To the Daisy by William Wordsworth 3 - Daffodils by William Wordsworth 4 - The Kitten and the Falling Leaves by William Wordsworth 5 - It Was an April Morning Fresh and Clear by William Wordsworth 6 - My Hearts Leaps Up by William Wordsworth 7 - from Song of Myself by Walt Whitman 8 - Roots and Leaves Themselves Alone by Walt Whitman 9 - Warble Of Lilac Time By Walt Whitman 10 - A July Afternoon By The Pond by Walt Whitman 11 - A Carol of Harvest for 1867 by Walt Whitman 12 - In Drear Nighted December by John Keats 13 - Ode To A Nightingale by John Keats 14 - Ode to Autumn by John Keats 15 - On the Sea by Keats 16 - Lines Written in the Highlands After a Visit to Burn's Country by John Keats 17 - How the Old Mountains Drip with Sunset by Emily Dickinson 18 - Nature, The Gentlest Mother by Emily Dickinson 19 - Angels, in the Early Morning by Emily Dickinson 20 - I Have a Bird in Spring by Emily Dickinson 21 - Two Butterflies Went Out at Noon by Emily Dickinson 22 - Nature's Hymn to the Deity by John Clare 23 - All Nature Has a Feeling by John Clare 24 - The Lament of Swordy Well by John Clare 25 - On a Lane in Spring by John Clare 26 - Little Trotty Wagtail by John Clare 27 - Snow Flakes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 28 - An April Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 29 - Woods In Winter by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 30 - By the Seaside - The Fire of Driftwood by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 31 - The Sound of The Sea by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 32 - In Vision I Roamed by Thomas Hardy 33 - The Calf by Thomas Hardy 34 - The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy 35 - Last Week in October by Thomas Hardy 36 - To Flowers from Italy by Thomas Hardy 37 - Where Go the Boats by Robert Louis Stevenson 38 - The Canoe Speaks by Robert Louis Stevenson 39 - Autumn Fires by Robert Louis Stevenson 40 - The Cow by Robert Louis Stevenson 41 - The Gardener by Robert Louis Stevenson 42 - Berrying by Ralph Waldo Emerson 43 - May-Day by Ralph Waldo Emerson 44 - The Snow Storm by Ralph Waldo Emerson 45 - Water by Ralph Waldo Emerson 46 - Threnody by Ralph Waldo Emerson 47 - All Things Will Die by Alfred Lord Tennyson 48 - The Eagle by Alfred Lord Tennyson 49 - The Owl by Alfred Lord Tennyson 50 - Spring by Alfred Lord Tennyson 51 - Locksley Hall by Alfred Lord TennysonVer libro

"Dedicated to my mother, the Great Goddess." Life, unpredictable, yields return for sacrifices made. Departing from the conventional path, I surrendered much to existence. Pain, a constant companion, birthed verse—each line a product of anguish turned art. In the ebb and flow of life's challenges, I found solace in writing. What emerged were rhythmic verses, transforming suffering into poetry. Some reflect, others introspect; some offer insight, and others observe. Regardless, each verse is a product of life's trials and emotions. Surprisingly, these verses multiplied over the years. Today, I share them not for accolades, but to be heard amidst the chaos. Some stories must be told, some silences shattered. I offer my rhymes openly, a reflection, a token of my journey.Ver libro
Featuring new translations of previously untranslated Chinese short stories, Memorandum maps out seven decades of Sinophone Singaporean Literature. From bargirls to student activists, from trishaw men to tea merchants, this collection provides a glimpse into a world that has been previously invisible to Anglophone readers. Paired with critical essays, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of Singapore’s Chinese community, but also its inherent interconnectedness with other cultures within Singapore. “Memorandum is a pathbreaking anthology that refracts over half a century of Singapore’s history through its lens. The translated stories do much more than simply bridge Sinophone and Anglophone worlds: they actively cross geographical, cultural, linguistic and class boundaries, causing us to think more deeply about the nature of social power, and the transformative interventions literary texts can make.” -Philip Holden, scholar of Singapore &Southeast Asian literaturesVer libro
