Sinopse

Christmas Poems & Carols - Premium Collection is a compendium that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Christmas through the ages with its rich tapestry of poetic styles and themes. This collection features a diverse range of expressions, from the hauntingly serene to the jubilantly triumphant, capturing the multifaceted nature of the holiday season. Works within the anthology span timeless reflections on faith, human connection, and the wonders of winter, elegantly juxtaposing nostalgic scenes of hearth and home with reflections on the sacred and divine. Featuring both well-loved carols and less familiar works, this compilation invites readers to discover the varied literary dimensions of Christmas. The anthology brings together the timeless voices of canonical figures such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Dickinson, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, among others. These authors, often associated with major literary movements such as Romanticism and Victorian literature, infuse their poetry with historical and cultural depth. Their collective contributions weave a rich narrative that reflects the anthology's overarching theme while also exploring wider socio-cultural contexts, providing a well-rounded depiction of Christmas across different periods and styles. Christmas Poems & Carols - Premium Collection offers readers a unique literary feast, encouraging them to immerse themselves in the evocative imagery and profound insights that these varied voices provide. As a scholarly yet accessible curation, it serves both as an educational resource and an invitation to explore the timeless themes of Christmas through a multiplicity of perspectives. This book fosters a dialogue between classical works, rekindling the festive season's magic through a literary lens that celebrates tradition and diversity alike.

    "Chattering at School" is a series of animal poems that invites the reader to learn and marvel at all the wonders of the natural world. The poems include fun narratives on the surface, while containing learning and teaching moments as the poems unfold. The book has lovely illustrations and is full of moral lessons.The introduction to "Chattering at School:  Nature poems for children" explains that these poems were written by a schoolboy aged 11 to 18 (1951-58) during his annual summer holiday visits to his grandmother on her small farm in Ireland. She had been his carer and guardian from the time of the German Blitz of London where he was born, and lived with her until the war ended in 1945. He then returned to his unknown parents, who had been unable to visit him in Ireland from the UK during the war.Over 60 years later, the author of these poems - Edward Forde Hickey - discovered them (his own schoolboy attempts at writing poetry) lying in the attic and felt they were worth recording publicly.

    USEFULNESS of HIPPOPOTAMUS THE -...

    I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander-pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
    One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
    Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
    In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
    In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
    You can, too. 
    Peace & flowers. Love & light. 
    Vincent J. Tomeo, Author/Poet

    So that you know

    'Here I am, weightless / 
    now take me home' 
    So That You Know is the quintessential Mani Rao collection. These are poems that hold the playful exuberance of youth and the dazzling insight of age; that are at times measured, at times extravagant. What unites them is their commitment to mining deep into the recesses of the heart and offering moments of ecstatic revelation. 'Every morning you would breathe me fly,' says the poet, and one can feel the words take wing. 
    Mani Rao's work has, over the years, acquired a reputation for battering against the doors of poetic convention, experimenting with form and language, and untethering images so they run fast and thick. Part visual, part text, So That You Know stands testimony to the mischief and anarchy of her poetry. 
    If Mani Rao's language has been described as 'molten lava', here is the book that reminds you why. Each stanza-searing, incandescent, unstoppable.

    A new collection of poetry inspired by the work of Agnes Martin, exploring topics of feminism, art, depression, and grief, by the author of the prizewinning collection Obit. 
     
     
     
    Yesterday I slung my depression on my back and went to the museum. I only asked four attendants where the Agnes painting was and the fifth one knew. I walked into the room and saw it right away. From afar, it was a large white square. 
     
     
     
    With My Back to the World engages with the paintings and writings of Agnes Martin, the celebrated abstract artist, in ways that open up new modes of expression, expanding the scope of what art, poetry, and the human mind can do. Filled with surprise and insight, wit and profundity, the book explores the nature of the self, of existence, life and death, grief and depression, time and space. Strikingly original, fluidly strange, Victoria Chang's new collection is a book that speaks to how we see and are seen.
