Life Cycle and Other New Poems 2006 - 2016 by Nicholas Hagger Pdf

Nicholas Hagger’s Collected Poems contained 30 volumes of his poems that reflect his quest for the One. Life Cycle and Other New Poems contains volumes 31-34 and presents the vision of unity to which his quest has led. ‘Life Cycle’ is a reflection on the path and pattern in our lives, and on twelve seven-year ages from infancy to advanced old age. 'In Harmony with the Universe' presents poems on the soul’s harmony and oneness with Nature. 'An Unsung Laureate' focuses on public events and the conflicts within Western society. 'Adventures in Paradise' recounts journeys to remote places that have echoes of Paradise, including the Galapagos Islands and Antarctica - and reflections on evolution and global warming. Hagger derives his inspiration from the 17th-century Metaphysical poets and seeks to unite the later Augustan and Romantic traditions. These poems reconcile the soul’s harmony with the universe and the conflicts in public life, and are within the poetic tradition of Wordsworth and Tennyson. They add significantly to Collected Poems, Classical Odes and Hagger’s two poetic epics, Overlord and Armageddon, also published by O-Books (the manuscripts and papers for which are held in the Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex). They carry forward his Universalist approach to poetry which unveils an ordered universe behind the apparent chaos of world events.

Collected Prefaces by Nicholas Hagger Pdf

Nicholas Hagger's 55 books include innovatory works on literature, history, philosophy and international politics. In his first published literary work he revived the Preface, which had fallen into disuse after Wordsworth and Shelley. He went on to write Prefaces (sometimes called ‘Prologues’, ‘Introductions’ or ‘Introductory Notes’) for all his subsequent books. Collected Prefaces, a collection of 55 Prefaces (excluding the Preface to this book), sets out his thinking and the reader can follow the development of his philosophy of Universalism (of which he is the main exponent), his literary approach (particularly his combination of Romanticism and Classicism which he calls "neo-Baroque") and his metaphysical thinking. His Prefaces can be read as essays, and as in T.S. Eliot’s Selected Essays there is an interaction between adjacent Prefaces that brings an entirely new perspective to Hagger's works. These Prefaces cover an enormous range. Nicholas Hagger is a Renaissance man at home in many disciplines. His Universalism focuses on humankind’s relationship to the whole universe as reflected in seven key disciplines seen as wholes: the whole of literature, history, philosophy and the sciences, mysticism, religion, international politics and statecraft and world culture. Behind all the Prefaces is Hagger’s fundamental perception of the unity of the universe as the One and of humankind’s position in it. These Prefaces complement his Selected Letters, a companion volume also published by O-Books, and contain startling insights that illumine and send readers to the works the Prefaces introduce.

Conjugation by Phil Hall Pdf

Poetry. The term "conjugation" refers to more than the obvious grammatical movement of pronouns through time (I am / you are / they will be). For, in Biology, it also refers to the transfer of information between cells. And CONJUGATION--the new collection of poetry from award-winning poet Phil Hall--sees an open realm where individual letters inside a word are each rolling through their possibilities, from A to Z. Thereby, the language in this, Hall's fourth collection of poetry to be published by BookThug, travels into and out of itself, as he says, "escaping my ego, while revealing, word by slightly different word, my deeper connections and disconnections to things--to what used to be called poetry's 'subjects.'" As much care was taken with the writing of this collection as the shaping of the poems themselves. Replete with images of the natural world and in some cases, the mechanisms that transform it--horses, leaping fish, trees, canals and locks--CONJUGATION signals a return to the nature/nurture elements that have wound their way through his earlier collections, but also a versed ode to the discouragement that many Canadians have felt about the progression of their country and government over the past number of years. "These are poems of ferocity and humility, of vulnerability and wit, poems whose skilled complexities elucidate the lyric disturbance of melody, memory and self. Grasping his intimate line like a kind of loved and fortuitous hand-tool, what Hall constructs is a voice that attends to the familial and psychic histories submerged in landscape, in all their bitterness and gorgeousness. There is a rough amplitude in his compositional principle: that 'between the body & language/ a ravine of call and response.' In this work, out of the uncertainty and lag of dailiness comes the knowledge that although precision isn't always simple, by the precise ear we may arrive at the heart."--Judges' citation, Griffin Poetry Prize, 2006 "Phil Hall has come, by strife with words and their embedded values, to a technique of compression that reminds of Paul Celan's knotted poems: they beam straight through the skull... Poetry that recalls the organs of the body, that invents and compounds verbs, nouns and adjectives to reach toward what cannot be spoken, only named, if we use all the names, without censoring our hands' flutter."--Er n Moure

Collected Poems: 1974-2004 by Rita Dove Pdf

Finalist for the 2016 National Book Award Finalist for the 2017 NAACP Image Award Three decades of powerful lyric poetry from a virtuoso of the English language in one unabridged volume. Rita Dove’s Collected Poems 1974–2004 showcases the wide-ranging diversity that earned her a Pulitzer Prize, the position of U.S. poet laureate, a National Humanities Medal, and a National Medal of Art. Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove’s fresh reflections on adolescence in The Yellow House on the Corner and her irreverent musings in Museum. She sets the moving love story of Thomas and Beulah against the backdrop of war, industrialization, and the civil right struggles. The multifaceted gems of Grace Notes, the exquisite reinvention of Greek myth in the sonnets of Mother Love, the troubling rapids of recent history in On the Bus with Rosa Parks, and the homage to America’s kaleidoscopic cultural heritage in American Smooth all celebrate Dove’s mastery of narrative context with lyrical finesse. With the “precise, singing lines” for which the Washington Post praised her, Dove “has created fresh configurations of the traditional and the experimental” (Poetry magazine).

Peelin Orange by Mervyn Morris Pdf

Mervyn Morris was appointed Poet Laureate of Jamaica in 2014. He has had an abiding impact on the literature of the Caribbean as poet, essayist and teacher. Peelin Orange, with its mix of Englishes (Standard, Jamaican Creole – patois – and a combination of the two), and its variety of forms, from free verse to metred and rhymed measures, represents half a century of invention and re-invention. Morris knows how universals can inhere in the local, the incarnation in a Caribbean setting. With his light, intense musicality, he speaks to and for a community. His wit, his love of people and places, his anarchic 'Afro-Saxon' spirit, ensure that his poems are full of surprise in language, image and in the turns of sense they make.

Visions of England by Nicholas Hagger Pdf

In 1999, while working as his Literary Secretary, the Earl of Burford, a descendant of the 3rd Earl of Southampton (Shakespeare’s patron) and of the 17th Earl of Oxford and heir to the Dukedom of St Albans, made a selection of Nicholas Hagger’s poems that celebrates places in England, conveys his mystical awareness of the unity of the universe and places him in the visionary tradition of William Blake, the poet of ‘Jerusalem’ and “England’s green and pleasant land”. Soon after Visions of England was completed the Earl of Burford came to international attention when he leapt onto the Woolsack of the House of Lords in a principled protest against the Blair Government’s plan to abolish hereditary peers’ voting rights, which led to 92 remaining in the Lords. A few months later he left Nicholas Hagger’s employ and the selection was buried under papers for nearly 20 years. In 2018 Nicholas Hagger came across Visions of England while preparing papers to send to his archive. It now seemed as if the selection had been made with Brexit in mind. The places are full of English history and culture, and the poems are prophetic in their anticipation of England’s new spirit of independence. These poems convey Englishness with a freshness and vividness that startle. The Earl of Burford is a prominent lecturer and biographer, and his selection is noteworthy for the metaphysical perspective he brings out in Nicholas Hagger’s profound poems whose traditional qualities constantly surprise and delight.

The Eschaton Sequence by Shane Crees Pdf

This unusual text, The Eschaton Sequence, represents a serious engagement with ideas of modern literary theory/philosophy. Written in an enigmatic aphoristic style there runs nonetheless a narrative describing the act of immersion of an author into the act of writing, raising questions about identity, agency, communication, perception, ritual and more. The format plays with the idea of intertexuality, read almost as a precursor to hyperlinks, and its range of reference to classic and popular culture is wide and rich. The text toys with the idea of death of the author as a form of virtual bloodletting or even suicide, exploring the idea of what remains as a form of archetype or psyche. In its reflections and engagement with postmodern authors this collection of maxims is perfect for browsing in hurried moments. There is plenty of wisdom dispensed on a variety of topics from death to terrorism to dance to sex. For inquiring and curious intellectual minds this is a potentially rewarding and entertaining book.

Selected Letters by Nicholas Hagger Pdf

Nicholas Hagger's literary, philosophical, historical and political writings are innovatory. He has set out a new approach to literature that combines Romantic and Classical outlooks in a substantial literary oeuvre of 2,000 poems including over 300 classical odes, two poetic epics, five verse plays, three masques, two travelogues and 1,200 stories. He has created a new philosophy of Universalism that focuses on the unity of the universe and humankind and the interconnectedness of all disciplines, and challenges modern philosophy. He has presented an original historical view of the rise and fall of civilisations, and proposed - and detailed - a limited democratic World State with the power to abolish war and solve all the world's problems. Selected Letters draws together those of his letters (written over 60 years) that aid the interpretation and elucidation of his works. Many of his correspondents are well-known figures within literature, philosophy, history and international politics, and Hagger is in the footsteps of Alexander Pope in editing his own letters, which are in the tradition of Pope, Wordsworth, Keats, T.E. Lawrence, Ezra Pound and Ted Hughes (one of his correspondents). They throw light on all aspects of Hagger's vast output, and are required reading for all interested in following the growth of his Universalism, his literary development and his innovatory approach to universal truth. NICHOLAS HAGGER is a poet, man of letters, cultural historian and philosopher. He has lectured at universities in Iraq, Libya and Japan, where he was a Professor of English Literature. He has written 54 books. These include an immense literary offering, most recently King Charles the Wise and Visions of England (both also published by O-Books), and innovatory works within history, philosophy and international politics and statecraft. His archive of papers and manuscripts is held as a Special Collection in the Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex. In 2016 he was awarded the Gusi Peace Prize for Literature, and in 2019 the BRICS silver medal for ‘Vision for Future'.

The War for Spiritual Battles by Bill Vincent Pdf

A further continuation of his self-styled Dark Radical Poetics, the author once again embarks on an expressionistic and aphoristic intellectual journey In the spirit of Ourobouros, and the closely wed concept of eschaton, the notion of time and death and their relation are always uppermost in his mind, as is the concept of beauty - not least lyrically - as a way of transcending that mortal coil. AS often previously the topics of drugs and the bohemian, often lonely lifestyle in a small college town are addressed honestly and reflectively; there is little in the world at this age in all its chaos that makes the author angry. Again it is the frailty of the heart that is given most consideration - a self-indulgent exercise so often passed over in today's interconnected lives. This is a book once again for moments of reflection, and hopefully the hearts and minds of the similarly afflicted will take consolation that they are far from alone and without hope as any out there.

The poetic arrangement of one poet's engagement with the chaos and calm spiritual ennui that can arise from too close a contemplation of the worlds of inner and outer experience. Written from an often transcendentally ideal perspective, this collection offers a fresh and original take on many of the forms and vistas to be found in a rural, coastal town as well as the psyche in which they find themselves represented.

Strings and Arrows - Songs in Search of Summer by Shane Crees Pdf

The author's fourth book of confessional poetry, recording a year awaiting and then receiving a long awaited friend, lover, muse and inspiration into an otherwise bleak year in recovery. Written from before he was aware of the Autumn's reuniting, these poems cover the build up, and the aftermath, nervously awaiting her return in late December. Heartfelt and beautiful; typically angst-ridden and in thrall to nature, this very personal book is nonetheless a beacon to love and hope on a forgotten coast.
