Описание: Award-winning singer-songwriter-storyteller Jane Eamon has long captivated audiences with heartfelt songs exploring the frailties of human experience. This is a superb collection of song lyrics -- some from her CD album of the same name, others from upcoming releases -- along with revealing and thought-provoking selected poems.
From the Foreword by David McCann: "... Bishop McKendree's gathering of songs and poems from the Japanese prisoner of war camps of World War II is a remarkable outcome to a brutal experience....The materials were elusive in their circulation among the prisoners, dangerous to those who composed or performed them, and certainly would have been fatal to McKendree, had he been caught with them....These songs and poems will also tell the reader something of what their authors, composers, singers—and scribe—lived through. We can sense, but dimly, certain of the details of the physical environment, the personalities of the prisoners and of the guards, and the events which brought them together. These songs and poems will summon forth, for those who were there, a sense of common purpose and experience, of shared hope and despair, defeat and accomplishment; for other readers—and my earnest wish is to have this book find its way to Japanese readers, too—a sense of honor, compassion and respect."

William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the most significant figures in the history of English poetry. He is also one of the most mysterious, most challenging, and most frequently misunderstood. His Songs of Innocence and of Experience, on the surface so simple, are laden with mysteries that seem to deepen on every reading.
In this book, aimed at A Level and undergraduate students, Brendan Cooper explores the subtleties and contradictions of the Songs, avoiding formulaic readings by asking key questions about Blake's life and art. What are the Songs about? What does Blake mean by Innocence and Experience ? Why are they called Songs ? Was Blake a genius, or a madman?
This engaging and accessible introduction to Blake's work will help students to navigate its complexities and develop their own critical responses to the text.
Автор: Zan, Banoo Название: Songs of exile ISBN: 1771830875 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781771830874 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 25670.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: These poems are not simply about geographical or political exile. They reveal a metaphorical exile from the poets lost self, the one she left behind in Iran, her place of origin, the one she has struggled to preserve all her life. They reveal concern about the Middle East and the negative associations with Iran; preoccupation with the possibility of reconciliation between the three Abrahamic religions; worries about family back home; and broodings on newly found friends and lovers. In these poems, the political is personal.

Poems of love and battle by Arabia's legendary warrior
From the sixth-century highlands of Najd in the Arabian peninsula, on the eve of the advent of Islam, come the strident cries of a legendary warrior and poet. The black outcast son of an Arab father and an Ethiopian slave mother, 'Antarah ibn Shaddad struggled to win the recognition of his father and tribe. He defied social norms and, despite his outcast status, loyally defended his people. 'Antarah captured his tumultuous life in uncompromising poetry that combines flashes of tenderness with blood-curdling violence. His war songs are testaments to his life-long battle to win the recognition of his people and the hand of 'Ablah, the free-born woman he loved but who was denied him by her family. War Songs presents the poetry attributed to 'Antarah and includes a selection of poems taken from the later Epic of 'Antar, a popular story-cycle that continues to captivate and charm Arab audiences to this day with tales of its hero's titanic feats of strength and endurance. 'Antarah's voice resonates here, for the first time in vibrant, contemporary English, intoning its eternal truths: commitment to one's beliefs, loyalty to kith and kin, and fidelity in love. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

Night Songs is a titled expression
To confirm God's presence;
For especially in the midst of trouble,
We can experience his essence.
A song is usually a brief composition
Meant to be sung;
A poem that gives a special message
With melodious tongue.
A song usually makes one merry
And sometimes makes one sad;
But this collection of songs in the night
Is written to make you glad.
Night Songs is not set to music,
But is poetic expressions;
Having triumphant effect a song provides
With inspirational lessons.
Night Songs is written to encourage
And to give you strength;
It's written to tell you God will help
And go to any length.
Night Songs is written to say God loves you,
And that he really cares;
For every burden that comes upon you,
He is willing to bear.
