Going-to-the-Sun - Journey of Self-Discovery in American Landscapes

Vachel Lindsay

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In 'Going-to-the-Sun' by Vachel Lindsay, the reader is transported into a world of vivid imagery and lyrical prose. Lindsay's poetic style is characterized by its use of musical rhythms and a keen awareness of nature, which is evident throughout the book as the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery through the vast landscapes of the American West. The book fits well into the context of American modernist literature, with its experimental approach to language and form, drawing inspiration from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. Lindsay's exploration of themes such as freedom, identity, and the human connection to nature adds layers of depth to the narrative. Vachel Lindsay, known for his commitment to social and political issues, was likely compelled to write 'Going-to-the-Sun' as a means of inspiring readers to reconnect with nature and find solace in its beauty. His own background as a traveling poet and artist influenced his portrayal of the protagonist's journey and the profound impact of nature on personal growth. I highly recommend 'Going-to-the-Sun' to readers who appreciate rich, evocative poetry that explores themes of self-discovery and the human experience. Lindsay's masterful storytelling and poignant reflections on nature make this book a truly enlightening and captivating read.

Three Taverns

Edwin Arlington Robinson

In this collection of dramatic narratives, Robinson explores his key interests: character and man's confrontation with the rocks and hard places of human existence. He gives us a fascinating piece of alternate history: a dialogue between Alexander Hamlton and Aaron Burr, testing who will betray and who will resist. He gives that bitter old man, John Brown, full scope to vent his deep-seated anger, and lets Rahel Varnhagen, in her old age, touch us with her memories of love. The title poem is a vigorous account of himself by St. Paul, seemingly not too long post-Damascus.

Li'l Bastard

David McGimpsey

Finalist for the 2012 Governor General's Award for Poetry
 

 
Chicagoland hot-dog stands are open late. What the fuck you want?' one cashier asks me. What the fuck did I want? Hope? A car? To write? Jesus, I knew – just give me a Pepsi. 
 

 
David McGimpsey's ?fth collection of poems takes to new levels the melding of the deeply personal and the culturally popular that drove his acclaimed book Sitcom (nominated for the A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry). This is confessional poetry as written by a chronic trickster and a committed liar.

 
Written in part as an homage to the poetic idols of McGimpsey's youth, John Berryman and Robert Lowell, Li'l Bastard is a collection of 'chubby sonnets' – sixteen-line poems organized into eight longer sequences – that explore the poet's obsessions and engagements with America and Canada, popular culture, love and death, aging, baseball and beer and Barnaby Jones. Adopting a wild array of tones and artistic strategies, from picaresque to fantasy, to observational humour and the simple song lyric, these poems map the poet's midlife crisis on a wild ?ight that touches down in Montreal, Chicago, Nashville, Texas and L.A.

 
Poignant and often achingly funny, Li'l Bastard will no doubt cement McGimpsey's status as a beloved and ever-surprising original.

chaos in paradise

LZA

Chaos in paradise is a collection of fifty poems that dive deep into the duality of my mind as a person. Even though a healthy garden exists in my heart, inescapable darkness looms over it. Within this collection, I battle with self-identity, love, depression, a desire to escape from the confines of normal society, loss, and the contradictory nature that is me. I wrote this book to free my mind from every insane thought that lives within me and capture it on paper so that it liberates you from the chaos that may reside in yours. I believe everyone is fighting a mental battle under every smile they wear. There might be days when you want to give in to the darkness inside of you, do it. Drown in those thoughts until you embrace, accept, and come to peace with them because the dawn is on its way. And at the end of every moonlit path is a horizon where paradise exists. It might be closer than you think. Have you looked in the mirror lately?
