Sinopsis

In 'A Tree with a Bird in it,' Margaret Widdemer crafts a poetic symposium that harnesses the traditional and modernist veins pulsing through early 20th-century American poetry. This contemplative piece operates under the pretense of a simple observation—a pear tree housing a grackle—evoking deeper explorations of nature, existence, and the resonance of everyday moments through profound lyricism. Widdemer's work shines against the wider literary backdrop of her contemporaries, establishing its own niche within the period's introspective and imagistic tendencies. The book's revival by DigiCat Publishing not only restores the text to its authentic form but also reintroduces its literary significance to a new audience in various contemporary formats.

Margaret Widdemer was a pivotal voice of her time, skillfully intertwining the personal with the universal in her poetry. Her background as a suffragist and a keen observer of women's lives in post-Edwardian America uniquely positioned her to pen 'A Tree with a Bird in it.' Widdemer's sensibilities reflected the transitional era she occupied, and this work encapsulates the nuanced perspectives of a woman articulating the complexities of the shifting world around her.

Recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of early American modernist poetry, 'A Tree with a Bird in it' offers a window into the soul of an era. Readers will appreciate the timeless themes and Widdemer's eloquent portrayal of a seemingly mundane moment cast into poetic eternity. This meticulous reissue invites engagement with Widdemer's preserved voice, an essential component of the tapestry that is American literature. For those attuned to the historical context of its creation, the work provides a rich, immersive dive into the subtleties of life and the enduring power of observation.

    “Let all our voices gather and rise, up to the heavens and fill the sky.” Be Silent No Longer Pop Poetry Fusion These are compelling words, to be certain. They are The Brickley Bray Project’s call to action. As much as we believe we should act, or do, or participate, we all have difficulty taking that first step. The Brickley Bray Project wants that first step to be easy. Just listen. That’s all that’s required. And it is effortless. Diane Bray’s words are simple, rhyming, and straight to the point. Bill Bray has created music amidst inspiration from Diane’s words, allowing the tempo to unfold from the poetic rhythm and the music to evolve from the message. 
     
    The Silent No Longer Collection
     
     began as eight verses of a poem; written to express Diane’s solidarity with and support for the 99%/Occupy movements. It grew to a twenty-one verse call to action. As each day another social or humanitarian issue needed to be addressed, another verse came to life. Bill’s idea was to put the music around the poem becoming their Poetry Fusion, Be Silent No Longer. Thereafter, Diane’s words and Bill’s music became a Poetry Fusion mix of issues and positive messages of solutions. Some are as simple as thinking peace. All you need to do is click a button and listen as you go about your day. Let The Brickley Bray Project inspire you to stay informed, remain focused, and believe in a positive future. Remember, “Together We are One.”

    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 we explore those who plied their trade for the Fourth Estate but whose natural talent with words we more readily associate with their poetry.  Their verse enshrines that view.

    Amid the stately arches of a centuries-old New England campus, a quietly unassuming but brilliant poetry professor delivers the most important lecture of his life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness and determined to leave something lasting behind, he reveals long-guarded secrets gleaned from an extraordinary upbringing among rare books and eccentric mentors in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. 
    From ancient manuscripts to hidden scribbles, his words come alive in stories of resilience and love, hope and loss, culminating in a simple yet profound “Happiness Formula.” Guided by three transformative attitudes—Passion, Tempo, and Awareness—and built upon the pillars of Love, Balance, and Values, his teachings illuminate a path toward genuine, enduring joy. 
    In this poignant fictional account, his son—author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II—pieces together the professor’s final poetry class of 2017, weaving in firsthand testimonies from entranced students and precious archives rescued from near destruction. Their vivid recollections form a testament to life’s fragile beauty and the power of a well-lived day. 
    Enter The Happiness Triangle, the first volume of The Equilibrist Series: a heartfelt tale of a teacher racing against time to bestow a timeless gift. Rich with poetry, philosophical insight, and a dash of romance, this novel reminds us that real magic resides not in lofty ambitions or chance events, but in the everyday moments where we dare to live fully, love boundlessly—and discover happiness for ourselves.
