The headwaters of Robbing the Pillars begin deep in the anthracite country of Pennsylvania and wind their way through mountain tributaries before reaching the Susquehanna River. These poems venture out west through smeared Nebraskan skies, up wild Washington waters, and into the Siskiyou Mountains as meteors split the sky on fire. They traverse the wet woods of Maine along the West Branch of the Penobscot River to the peak of Katahdin. They hike the Appalachian, Continental Divide, and Pacific Crest Trails. In the early coal mines of Pennsylvania, miners crawled into the deepest parts of the mines, set dynamite, and blew joists holding up walls in hopes of getting the last valuable rock before the mountain collapsed -- robbing the pillars. The poems in Robbing the Pillars are the dynamite, the pillars, the rock, the mountain, and the miners. They embrace terrains familiar and forgotten -- those which have been stripped and left to become wild again. They explore the physical (geological, riverine), familial, personal, and cultural landscapes of our world as we rob its pillars.

Описание: Some Bodies in the Grief Bed is Rick Benjamin's latest attempt to find the intersection of the human and the non-human in the context of this earth's ecology. A poem about migrations butterflies and others make might be followed by another appearing in the life of a family; and this poet is always trying to face down the distinction between them. At the same time, he is deeply interested in every detail of either: giraffe's eating an Acacia's topmost leaves and pods; the way the sound of percussive roofs in rain bring up memories a boy might have thought he'd buried. These are offered as equal parts of one book, planets orbiting around the same sun. As the title suggests, Some Bodies in the Grief Bed evolves around loss, but also those moments of ecstasy and joy that are attached to them. As Mart n suggests, such grief is also and always just another opportunity to praise everything and everyone we've been lucky enough to hold and have in this world without keeping. This book reminds us both to hold each moment and to be more mindful of what it's made (out) of-- the organic, impermanent nature of our "passing love" (Langston Hughes) on this planet.

The natural world has the power to awaken, restore, and transform us, and nowhere are these capacities more evident than in the thirty-six luminous essays that make up The Ashokan Way. Written in the form of journal entries that take place over the course of a year, the essays explore both the outer landscapes of the awe-inspiring Ashokan Reservoir, a vast open space surrounded by the ancient bluestone peaks of the Catskill Mountain Watershed, and the equally awe-inspiring inner landscapes of our own most personal terrains.Each of the book's evocative entries describes a walk along the ever-changing reservoir, illuminating the natural world as a portal to self-understanding, restoration, and meaning. Some walks take us deep inside to trek the hills and valleys of our aspirations and sorrows, our joys and confusions. Others offer a profound antidote to an interior landscape that has become crowded with distraction and overstimulation. Still others seem to seem usher us into the realm of the mystical.As surely as we would perish without the water and air that the earth provides, we are at risk of perishing without the spiritual sustenance that the natural world provides through its ability to stir and astonish us. In a world that is ever faster, noisier, and busier, The Ashokan Way is a balm, an inspiration, and an invitation to discover greater intimacy with inner and outer landscapes alike.

The Mystery Still Drives Us is the second collection of ghazals by J. K. McDowell. The ghazal is a poetic form of possibility traced back to ancient Persia. The poems and even their stanzas are independent beacons of image, feeling and reflection. Subject and voice leap and flicker from stanza to stanza. Within the confines of six stanzas, McDowell exposes in each poem, threads of personal struggle and creative transcendence. Often at the end or near the end, the poem will address the poet directly by name. Calls to James, J. K., James K. or Jim appear in the fifth or sixth stanza. There is always mystery in the identity of this voice. The poems themselves do not bear titles in the traditional sense. They are merely identified by their closing words. This is the poem naming convention adopted in McDowell's first collection of ghazals, "Night, Mystery & Light." Throughout the collection are poems where the same ending word or phrase completes each stanza of the poem creating the truest modern approximation of the ancient poetic form. There the poem's driving repetition combines with leaping shapes of the stanzas producing a penetrating kaleidoscope of meanings. The work as a whole harnesses artistic, literary and spiritual energies, spiraling wide and cutting deep.
Автор: Bradley Burt Название: Letters to Michelangelo from Wyoming & Other Poems ISBN: 1953340148 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781953340146 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 16510.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Letters to Michelangelo from Wyoming is a collection of epistolary or letter poems to the Masters of the Italian Renaissance: Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Leonardo DaVinci and others. These letter poems were inspired from the poet Burt Bradley's journey to Italy with the celebrated Wyoming painter John Giarrizzo. They collaborated on drawings and poems as they visited Rome, Florence, and Milan. Not as tourists, but to see Italy through the eyes of their respective art. Their visit was a pilgrimage, particularly to "meet" the Old Masters "up close and personal" through their paintings and sculpture.
Returning to Wyoming, Bradley found himself not ready to sever the rich connection with the Masters and began to see Wyoming's beauty through their eyes. The poet drew inspiration from the letter poems of Richard Hugo, David Citino, and Jim Harrison's Letters to Yesenin, as well as Mark Twain's Diaries of Adam and Eve and Letters from the Earth.
Accompanying the poetic letters are Bradley's Italian poems that, along with Giarrizzo's drawings, reflect upon the masterpieces of sculpture and painting: Michelangelo's David, Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, and Caravaggio's The Calling of St. Mathew, among others. The rich descriptions of these poems complement the "Letters" that narrate Bradley's own art of living in the rough-hewn beauty and weather-challenged landscape of Wyoming.

Описание: This book is about the intersection of repetition and progress. What is done over and over silhouettes what is novel and surprising. These poems are rooted in meditation and writing practices, and blossom in the light of human experience. They lyrically describe perception and activity moving in many layers of reality.
Long Shadows of Practice is philosophical yet felt, quiet and funny, fantastical and full of heart. It lands lightly with hope in the possibilities of connections.
Before you were born, I went on a journey that would take me around the world completely, a spherical, three-dimensional journey. A journey of dirt and blood. A journey of taste and bodily sensation. A journey of texture. I am writing you because I want you to live in this world, to feel it in its fullness, its depth. I want you to fall in love with the world, flawed and sorrowful as it is. Your lives and the world as a whole--these are indistinguishable to me--depend on this.
