Beschreibung

In "Rubáiyát of Doc Sifers," James Whitcomb Riley presents a mesmerizing blend of whimsical and profound verse, echoing the stylistic elegance of Persian poetry while rooting it in the American literary tradition. This notable work employs a series of quatrains to explore themes of existence, nature, and human emotion, showcasing Riley's unique ability to marry folk simplicity with philosophical depth. The book stands out in the late 19th-century literary landscape, reflecting the growing influence of Eastern poetics amid American literary nationalism, all infused with Riley's trademark humor and tenderness. James Whitcomb Riley, often referred to as the "Poet of the People," cultivated a deep connection with rural life and its quintessential characters, such as Doc Sifers. This work arose from Riley's experiential understanding of Midwestern vernacular speech and his fascination with life's deeper musings, likely inspired by a desire to capture the everyday wisdom and oral traditions present in his community. His career as a storyteller and performer profoundly informed his poetic voice, enabling him to engage readers with authenticity. Readers seeking a contemplative yet accessible entry into the world of poetry will find "Rubáiyát of Doc Sifers" a delightful and enriching experience. Riley's blending of humor and poignancy invites reflection and joy, making it a must-read for both poetry enthusiasts and those new to the genre.

    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. 
     
    In this volume the English language reveals itself in a scale and depth that few others can compare with.  It seems to be an advantage to be able to choose from over a million words and yet, it is not the words but the way in which they are used that resonate with us all.  Is there some bond between the English and writing poetry?  Maybe, maybe not, but let us celebrate these poems down the ages, not as one nation’s hoard but humanity’s gift.

    Tom Stodulka has loved to write for many years, though as a child he found this form of expression was a struggle. As the years progressed, through high school and law school, Stodulka gained an appreciation of language and how it could be used a s a tool for making a difference. His confidence grew enough to write diaries of his life in the Navy and eventually in 1976, on board the HMAS Duchess , he wrote his first poem, The World and the Future, which features in his first publication, Strom Clouds and Silver Linings; My Journey. 
    In this, his fifth publication, Tom continues to reflect, share his creative output and positively impact those with his work. Life is Love contains seventy brand new poems along with thirty of his previous works that his dedicated readers have requested be featured as special favourites. Also you will find reflections from fellow authors and Tom’s publisher on their experience of sharing special creative moments with him. 
    People often ask me what inspires me to write. The answer is simple; I love capturing the moment of a changing world and value incredibly the impact my writing has on my readers, whether it is my wife, family and friends, or complete strangers across the globe. A big thank you to you all.
