Sinopse

In "May-Day, and Other Pieces," Ralph Waldo Emerson presents a rich tapestry of poetic and prose works that reflect his transcendentalist philosophy, intertwining nature, self-reliance, and the quest for truth. The collection, known for its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, showcases Emerson's mastery of language through evocative imagery and profound reflections, inviting readers to contemplate the spiritual connection between humanity and the natural world. The pieces are steeped in the literary context of early 19th-century America, capturing the essence of a burgeoning national identity and the quest for intellectual independence. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a prominent figure in the transcendentalist movement, was deeply influenced by his experiences in nature and his commitment to individualism and personal intuition. His extensive travels, philosophical dialogues, and friendships with contemporaries such as Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller shaped his literary voice, fostering an unwavering belief in the power of the individual's relationship with the divine and the universe. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of nature, self-discovery, and philosophical inquiry will find "May-Day, and Other Pieces" to be an essential addition to their literary collection. Emerson'Äôs timeless wisdom resonates today, offering guidance on personal empowerment and a deeper understanding of life's inherent beauty.

    “In the vast expanse of the Algerian desert, an adventurer embarks on a solitary journey to explore ancient temples hidden among the dunes. As he delves into the ruins, he uncovers engravings on the walls that hint at a civilization far more advanced than ours, one that predates history as we know it. Suddenly, he’s whisked away by unseen forces and comes face-to-face with these ancient beings. In a twist of fate, he learns the secret behind their diminished stature, as they have evolved into beings of small form but immense intellect, a stark contrast to their grand legacy etched in stone.”

    A New York Times bestselling poetry collection from Clint Smith, author of #1 bestseller and National Book Critics Circle Award winner How the Word Is Passed.  "A joyful embrace and legacy of bright language and poignant questions." —Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders Clint Smith’s vibrant and compelling new collection traverses the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood, and explores how becoming a parent has recalibrated his sense of the world. There are poems that interrogate the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages and historical institutions. There are poems that revel in the wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of your children, as they discover it for the first time. There are poems that meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled with constant social and political tumult. Above Ground wrestles with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Smith’s lyrical, narrative poems bring the reader on a journey not only through the early years of his children’s lives, but through the changing world in which they are growing up—through the changing world of which we are all a part.Above Ground is a breathtaking collection that follows Smith's first award-winning book of poetry, Counting Descent.
