Poetry - Enriched edition

John Keats

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

John Keats's "Poetry" is a profound exploration of the interplay between beauty, nature, and human emotion. Anchored in the Romantic tradition, Keats employs rich imagery and sensuous language that transports readers to a world imbued with emotional depth and aesthetic power. His exploration of themes such as the transient nature of life, love, and the pursuit of artistic immortality is made manifest through lyrical verses and intricate symbolism, exemplifying the era's preoccupation with the sublime and the ineffable. Through his unique diction and stylistic choices, Keats invites readers to revel in the beauty of language itself, positioning his work as a seminal contribution to 19th-century poetry. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet whose short life was marked by personal tragedy and an enduring passion for literature. His formative years were shaped by the loss of loved ones, financial struggles, and his own frail health, all of which profoundly influenced his poetic voice. Surrounded by the works of romantic contemporaries, Keats's quest for beauty and truth in poetry led him to sublime expressions that resonate deeply with the human experience, as crystallized in this collection. "Poetry" is an indispensable read for those who appreciate the intersection of art and emotion. Keats's ability to capture the ephemeral quality of life through language makes this work essential not only for poetry enthusiasts but also for anyone seeking to understand the deeper connections between humanity and the natural world. This collection remains a timeless testament to the power of the human spirit.

Ten Bridges I've Burnt - A...

Brontez Purnell

In Ten Bridges I've Burnt, Brontez Purnell—the bard of the underloved and overlooked—turns his gaze inward. A storyteller with a musical eye for the absurdity of his own existence, he is peerless in his ability to find the levity within the stormiest of crises. Here, in his first collection of genre-defying verse, Purnell reflects on his peripatetic life, whose ups and downs have nothing on the turmoil within. "The most high-risk homosexual behavior I engage in," Purnell writes, "is simply existing." 
 
 
 
The thirty-eight autobiographical pieces pulsing in Ten Bridges I've Burnt find Purnell at his no-holds-barred best. He remembers a vicious brawl he participated in at a poetry conference and reckons with packaging his trauma for TV writers' rooms; wrestles with the curses, and gifts, passed down from generations of family members; and chronicles, with breathless verve, a list of hell-raising misadventures and sexcapades. Through it all, he muses on everything from love and loneliness to capitalism and Blackness to jogging and the ethics of art, always with unpredictable clarity and movement. 
 
 
 
With the same balance of wit and wisdom that made 100 Boyfriends a sensation, Purnell unleashes another collection of boundary-pushing writing with Ten Bridges I've Burnt, a book as original and thrilling as the author himself.

Pullman

JoAnne McFarland

Pullman examines themes of labor and love, using as its backdrop the history of the treatment of the Pullman car porters of the late 19th century. The poems and art pieces in this collection both reflect on and interact with cultural and historical sources, from the slave narratives of Harriet Jacobs to the creative output of the poet and artist' s late father, a musician and songwriter for Aretha Franklin.

Top 10 Poets The - The 20th...

Robert Frost

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 individual poets have become not just careerists but catalysts to spawn many poetic movements; Georgian, Imagists, Modernism and others open the eyes and minds of all those they touch.  The world is becoming both audience and teacher as it yo-yo’s between acts of wonder and those of destruction.
