Before she began writing poetry, author Leanna Smith had no way of getting her emotions out. With the guidance of an inspiring high school teacher, she found a new way of expressing herself. Through the highs and lows of her life, she continued to write, building a collection of verses that serve as a vivid display of sadness and passion. Breaking Free through Poetry presents a compilation of love, loss, tears, happiness, joy, and sadness spanning thirty-one tumultuous years. Every poem she wrote was a lesson that she needed to learn about a situation she had to experience in order to grow. This poetry collection, written over the course of more than thirty years, shares the thoughts, feelings, and stories of one woman’s life. Dreams Die I once dreamed that you and I We’d come together like earth and sky, But as you know dreams, they die Without a doubt without a sigh I wish I was too strong to cry But this dream left tears in my eyes And of course, I’ll still try Because I’ll love her live or die.
Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change by Lauran R. Hartley,Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani Pdf
Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change is the first systematic and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary output of Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in Tibet and in the Tibetan diaspora. The contributors explore the circumstances that led to the development of modern Tibetan literature, its continuities and breaks with classical Tibetan literary forms, and the ways that writers use forms such as magical realism, satire, and humor to negotiate literary freedom within the People’s Republic of China. They provide crucial information about Tibetan writers’ lives in China and abroad, the social and political contexts in which they write, and the literary merits of their oeuvre. Along with deep social, cultural, and political analysis, this wealth of information clarifies the complex circumstances that Tibetan writers face in the PRC and the diaspora. The contributors consider not only poetry, short stories, and novels but also other forms of cultural production—such as literary magazines, films, and Web sites—that provide a public forum in the Tibetan areas of the PRC, where censorship and restrictions on public gatherings remain the norm. Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change includes a previously unavailable list of modern Tibetan works translated into Western languages and a comprehensive English-language index of names, subjects, and terms.

It starts with the breakdown; twenty years together. It ends breaking free, into new life. Poet Tamara Mendelson charts her divorce cycle in Divorce Poetry: Breaking Free, A Soul-Healing Journey Through the Five Stages of Divorce. She shares her raw emotions and bitter truths learned, such as the meaning of "forever". From breaking down to breaking free, each of the five sections includes poetry intended for people going through their own emotional tidal waves. Mendelson never expected to divorce. What was to last forever, lasted seventeen years. Rather than settling for a loveless marriage, she made the decision to leave. Luckily for readers, she reengaged life with poetry as part of her healing process, and has discovered that others have suffered like she did. Here she presents readers with her book of verse, expressing how to be with and endure their pain to find peace. Much light is found at the end of her journey, and with each poem, she helps readers find their own.
Circadiana: The Complete Poems by Edward Lemond Pdf
From September 19, 2013 to September 18, 2014, I wrote one poem a day, amounting to a year-long diary in the form of chained tercets. This is the complete collection.
What follows are some poems written along my journey. Some were written as I rode my destiny train, others as I fell from it, and many as I walked along the track waiting for it to come around again. Some are dark, some are deep, and others loving. Some speak of loss, and some are full of hurt. Some are full of joy, and others are fun and slightly quirky. They all offer hopewell, at least they did to me when I wrote them. Enjoy.
In her six-decade long writing career Adrienne Rich (1929–2012) addressed, with sagacity and probing honesty, most of the significant issues of her lifetime. A poet of finely tuned craft, she won numerous prizes, awards, and honorary degrees, and famously rejected the prestigious National Medal for the Arts in 1997. She wrote twenty-five volumes of poetry and seven non-fiction books as she combined the roles of poet, scholar, theorist, and activist. Rich wrote passionately and powerfully about major 20th and early 21st century concerns such as feminism, racism, sexism, the Vietnam War, Marxism, militarism, the growing income disparities in the U.S., and other social issues. Her works ask important questions about how we should act, and what we should believe. They imagine new ways to deal with the social and political challenges of the twentieth century. Setting her work in the context of her life and American politics and culture during her lifetime, this book explores Rich’s poetic and personal journey from conservative, dutiful follower of cultural and poetic traditions to challenging questioner and critic, from passivity and powerlessness to activist, theorist, and acclaimed “poet of the oppositional imagination.”

The readers will then understand what life is truly about. For decades, Bea has used her unique life coaching skills to help people better understand life’s misfortunes, and has taught them to live, laugh and love again. One of these people reflected on the value of her conversations with Bea after the tragic death of her son, “Bea made me feel I was never alone. After every visit I would feel stronger and couldn’t wait for our next meeting. Bea shared so much of her wisdom, knowledge, guidance and counsel with me and I have her to thank for where I am at today. I have a whole new perspective on the power of life.” We have a new book, just take a look. The book of old is the story that’s told. This book of today is here to stay. The new world is lived and enjoyed this way. Along with some past, you’ll know what’s to last. It’s all here to say the new world way. Come one and all, young, short and tall. The old and the new, we have it for you. It starts with the past, the pain that did last. Now it’s the new, they cleared me and you. Happy you’ll be when you do see, the you and me When we are all free. Our youth should know where the old have to go. So, help the people to walk down the right road
Futures of Enlightenment Poetry by Dustin D. Stewart Pdf
This book offers a revisionist account of poetry and embodiment from Milton to Romanticism. Scholars have made much of the period's theories of matter, with some studies equating the eighteenth century's modernity with its materialism. Yet the Enlightenment in Britain also brought bold new arguments for the immateriality of spirit and evocative claims about an imminent spirit realm. Protestant religious writing was of two minds about futurity, swinging back and forth between patience for the resurrected body and desire for the released soul. This ancient pattern carried over, the book argues, into understandings of poetry as a modern devotional practice. A range of authors agreed that poems can provide a foretaste of the afterlife, but they disagreed about what kind of future state the imagination should seek. The mortalist impulse—exemplified by John Milton and by Romantic poets Anna Letitia Barbauld and William Wordsworth—is to overcome the temptation of disembodiment and to restore spirit to its rightful home in matter. The spiritualist impulse—driving eighteenth-century verse by Mark Akenside, Elizabeth Singer Rowe, and Edward Young—is to break out of bodily repetition and enjoy the detached soul's freedom in advance. Although the study isolates these two tendencies, each needed the other as a source in the Enlightenment, and their productive opposition didn't end with Romanticism. The final chapter identifies an alternative Romantic vision that keeps open the possibility of a disembodied poetics, and the introduction considers present-day Anglophone writers who put it into practice.
