Beschreibung

In "WALT WHITMAN Ultimate Collection: 500+ Works in Poetry & Prose," readers are immersed in an expansive tapestry of literary genius that captures the essence of 19th-century American life and philosophy. Whitman's free-verse poetry, particularly in 'Leaves of Grass,' offers a revolutionary departure from traditional poetic forms, emphasizing naturalism, individualism, and a profound connection to the human experience. The collection includes an array of essays and prose that reflect his democratic ideals and transcendental beliefs, showcasing his mastery of language as he articulates themes of love, spirituality, and self-identity against the backdrop of a burgeoning nation grappling with its own identity. Walt Whitman, often regarded as the father of free verse, emerged from the tumultuous context of the American Civil War, which profoundly influenced his writing. His background as a journalist and a dedicated advocate for social reform infused his work with a sense of urgency and authenticity. Whitman's exploration of the self and the collective experience of humanity was groundbreaking, positioning him as a significant figure in American literature and the broader canon of world literature. His deep empathy and understanding of diverse human experiences resonate throughout this comprehensive collection. This ultimate collection is an essential compendium for any literature enthusiast or scholar, as it provides not only a thorough compilation of Whitman's profound insights into humanity but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of poetry. Readers will find themselves challenged and inspired by Whitman's evocative engagement with life, making this collection a valuable addition to the libraries of both casual readers and scholars who seek to understand the evolution of American thought and literature.

    At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
    Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
    Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
    '[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022

    The Shangri LaTitudes of the title are not some imaginary abodes in the clouds, above and beyond ordinary reality. These latitudes are the ones which lie where the paths of Truth and Beauty cross, forming quadrants where each sub-subject comingles to form fresh ruminations, not unlike those from Rumi, not unlike Four Quartets by Eliot, though using forms unfamiliar to either poet. There are four rooms in the human heart, each one its own experiential zone where passions move around, up down and around within the stream of consciousness, as well as stirring the subconsciousness. Perhaps the latter ruminations form the greater portion of the poems in this selection. This is a book of brief poems deliberately constructed for easy reading, brief pieces that can be picked up and put down within a few moments. One or two poems may take longer to digest, but hopefully the same intensity of feeling will be there, like a bonsai arriving at your coffee table, all trim, newly in flower.
