Beschreibung

This Pulitzer Prize–winning collection pairs twelve new poems with work from seven previous volumes by “one of the most extraordinary poets writing today” (Kenyon Review). The poetry of Yusef Komunyakaa traverses psychological and physical landscapes, mining personal memory to understand the historical and social contexts that shape experience. Neon Vernacular charts the development of his characteristic themes and concerns by gathering work from seven of his previous collections, along with a dozen new poems that continue the autobiographical trajectory of his previous collection, Magic City.  Here, Komunyakaa shares an intimate and evocative life journey, from his childhood in Bogalusa, Louisiana—once a center of Klan activity and later a focus of Civil Rights efforts—to his stormy relationship with his father, his high school football days, and his experience of the Vietnam War and his difficult return home. Many of the poems collected here are drawn from limited editions and are no longer available.
Verfügbar seit: 30.04.1993.
Drucklänge: 188 Seiten.

    Yoga is a poetry book about the different paths you can take to self realization and enlightenment. For those who are seeking the most aligned path to find their True Self. 
    This inspirational poetry book dives into the different yogic paths that lead to self realization and enlightenment. 
    Yoga The Science Of Self Realization is a poetry book about finding enlightenment through the practice of yoga. Yoga is the art and science of direct experience with the ONE that is infinite and eternal. By coming into union with the eternal source we learn to embody these qualities in our lives. 
    This book explores the three paths of yoga outlined in the Bhagavad Gita: jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge, bhakti yoga, the yoga of love, and karma yoga, the yoga of action. Any of these paths can lead one towards enlightenment, and they can also be used cohesively for faster spiritual growth. 
    When we come to know our true selves as energetic beings of light we will no longer be bound to the wheel of karma and the vagaries of the material world, this is true freedom. The highest goal of human life is to feel free. Anyone can find freedom through yoga and it makes no distinctions on age, gender, or religion, it is universal in it’s application. 
    Yoga helps you reach your infinite potential by helping you see the light within us all…

    For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
    Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
    For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
    The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    Housman himself knew that his output as a poet would not be large. In his preface to this volume, he wrote, rather touchingly:  
    "I publish these poems, few though they are, because it is not likely that I shall ever be impelled to write much more." He pulled Last Poems together because his life-long friend, Moses Jackson, was dying and Housman wanted Jackson to be able to read these poems before he passed away.The work in this volume is more varied in form and content than in his first book, and shows a change of heart, a greater acceptance of the human condition, along with a more impersonal voice. His sense of the finality of life is strong: Dead clay that did me kindnessI can do none to youBut only wear for breast-knotThe flower of sinner's rue. Yet, if anything, his voice is gentler, his spirit calmer and more accepting, and his sense of the eternal stronger than in his first book.  Enjoy!

    The acclaimed Scottish poet’s debut collection shares poems “so physical you can almost touch the images in them. Fabulously sensual and alive.” (Stephen Fry). Writer and performer Michael Pederson has built a reputation as a critically acclaimed poet-provocateur. His live readings are as memorable as they are witty, laced with an electric energy, as he recites his accessible yet deeply layered poetry from memory. From NHS overdose clinics to overrun gardens, talking Cambodian treehouses to the teenage perversion of a young Scot on a French Exchange, the poems in Pedersen’s first collection offer a rich and fantastical feast of flavors, landscapes and language. On the menu is everything from iced oysters and chateaubriand to pickled onions and Buckfast-soaked bread sticks.

    Night Became Years is poetry in the sauntering tradition of the flâneur. Stefanik loafers his way over sacred geography and explores his own mixed heritage through the lexicon of Elizabethan canting language. Comparing the terminology of fifteenth-­century English beggar vernacular with a contemporary Canadian inner­-city worldview, the poems in Night Became Years unfold as separate entities while at the same time forming a larger narrative on the possibilities of poetry today and the nature of mixed­-blood identity.
