John Keats

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Hyperion," John Keats explores profound themes of beauty, mortality, and the struggle for poetic transcendence, weaving a tapestry of lush Romantic imagery and deep philosophical inquiry. This unfinished epic poem draws inspiration from classical mythology, particularly the Titan Hyperion, embodying a narrative steeped in the tension between the sublime and the human condition. Keats employs a rich, lyrical style that fuses personal anguish with universal truths, set against the backdrop of an evolving 19th-century literary landscape that sought to reconcile the spiritual and the material. John Keats, an emblematic figure of the Romantic period, faced significant personal challenges, including the death of loved ones and his own declining health, which profoundly influenced his creative output. His deep appreciation for beauty—both in nature and art—is evident in "Hyperion," revealing his quest for meaning amid the turmoil of existence. Keats's engagement with Hellenistic themes reflects his desire to elevate the human experience through poetic expression, establishing a legacy that resonates through the ages. "Hyperion" is an indispensable read for anyone interested in Romantic literature, offering insights into Keats's thought processes and emotional resilience. The poem's exploration of the artist's plight parallels contemporary struggles, making it timeless in its appeal. Readers will find themselves captivated by Keats's lyrical genius and the haunting beauty of his unfinished vision.

After the Love (OLD & MATURE) -...

Jeffrey V. Perry

Finding one’s self is not a product of age or time. But, learning to love and accept ourselves can be. Every day we learn that we cannot deceive our self until we must face our truth. You need no mirror nor any outside help. You will only have you. 
This poetry is written in various styles and on different subjects. It is inspired writing on spirituality, religion, history, romance, and social commentary.  
"Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brethen". Timothy 5:1 (KJV) 
After the Love is the ultimate reflection, once age and experience have become memories. Hope is now not what we await, but what we finally can give.

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
