The editor of the bestselling poetry anthologies How to Love the World and The Path to Kindness presents a collection of highly accessible, uplifting poetry celebrating the small wonders and peaceful moments of everyday life. James Crews, editor of two best-selling poetry anthologies, How to Love the World and The Path to Kindness, presents an all-new collection of highly accessible poems on the theme of celebrating moments of wonder and peace in everyday life. As Crews writes in the introduction: "[A] deep love for the world is present in every one of the poems gathered in this book. Wonder calls us back to the curiosity we are each born with, and it makes us want to move closer to what sparks our attention. Wonder opens our senses and helps us stay in touch with a humbling sense of our own human smallness in the face of unexpected beauty and the delicious mysteries of life on this planet." The anthology features a foreword by Nikita Gill and a carefully curated selection of poems from a diverse range of authors, including Native American poets Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, Kimberly Blaeser, and Joseph Bruchac, and BIPOC writers Ross Gay, Julia Alvarez, and Toi Derricotte. Crews features new poems from popular writers such as Natalie Goldberg, Mark Nepo, Ted Kooser, Naomi Shihab Nye, Jane Hirshfield, and Jacqueline Suskin, along with selections from emerging poets. Readers are guided in exploring the meaning and essence of the poems through a series of reflective pauses scattered through the pages and reading group questions in the back. This anthology offers the perfect intersection for the growing number of readers interested in mindful living and bringing poetry into their everyday lives.Ver livro
Le Corbeau (titre original : The Raven) est un poème narratif de l'écrivain américain Edgar Allan Poe, et compte parmi les textes les plus forts de ce poète, établissant sa réputation dans son pays et en Angleterre. Il paraît pour la première fois le 29 janvier 1845, dans le New York Evening Mirror. D’une grande musicalité et à l'atmosphère irréelle, obéissant à une métrique stricte, le poème raconte l'histoire d'une mystérieuse visite que reçoit le narrateur, qui se lamente sur la mort de son amour, Lenore ; un corbeau perché en haut de sa porte, répète inlassablement « Jamais plus ». La répétition de ces mots plonge le narrateur dans un désarroi si fort qu'il sombre dans la folie. Le poème utilise un grand nombre de références classiques et folkloriques.Poe a avoué avoir écrit ce poème de façon très logique et méthodique, comme il l'explique dans son essai La Philosophie de la composition publié en 1846. Son intention était d'attirer à la fois des critiques et de satisfaire la demande populaire. Le poème s'inspire en partie du roman Barnaby Rudge de Charles Dickens, où un corbeau parlant fait son apparition. Poe emprunte le rythme et la métrique complexe du poème d'Elizabeth Barrett Browning intitulé la Cour de lady Geraldine (Lady Geraldine's Courtship). Le poème utilise des rimes internes, ainsi que de nombreuses allitérations.Ver livro
Written in alternating prose and poetry, La Vita Nuova (The New Life) is a profound reflection on the nature of love, devoted to Dante’s muse Beatrice. Following Beatrice’s death in 1290, Dante became obsessed with the young Florentine woman, whom he only ever knew from a distance. He believed his love for her was a form of divine love, and saw her as an image of salvation itself – a theme that is later explored in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy, where she guides him through heaven. La Vita Nuova gives a fascinating glimpse into the poet’s innermost feelings – his joy, his guilt and his grief – and remains one of the greatest works of Christian autobiography.Ver livro
