Advertising constructs us, always addressing, "You." But who is this person, this "you" that advertising addresses? Poets and Killers answers this question by telling the life story of a man through advertising. Beginning in the 1940s when he is born, working up to 2009 when he dies, Poets and Killers uses lines taken directly from advertisements to write the main character's biography. This book examines what it means to be an individual in a world where we are all sold the same individuality, exploring what possibilities for a non-utilitarian humanity still exist between the lines of advertising copy. By using the language of advertising to create something fundamentally unmarketable and useless, that is, the story of a fallible human life expressed through experimental poetry, Poets and Killers shows that despite the pervasiveness of advertising and its efforts to rob us of the ability to express ourselves without commodifying ourselves, we can still speak.
This volume focuses on the principal African-American poets from colonial times through the Harlem Renaissance, paying tribute to a heritage that has long been overlooked. Works covered in this text include poems by Phillis Wheatley, widely recognized as
American Poets and Poetry [2 volumes] by Jeffrey Gray,Mary McAleer Balkun,James McCorkle Pdf
The ethnically diverse scope, broad chronological coverage, and mix of biographical, critical, historical, political, and cultural entries make this the most useful and exciting poetry reference of its kind for students today. American poetry springs up out of all walks of life; its poems are "maternal as well as paternal...stuff'd with the stuff that is coarse and stuff'd with the stuff that is fine," as Walt Whitman wrote, adding "Of every hue and caste am I, of every rank and religion." Written for high school and undergraduate students, this two-volume encyclopedia covers U.S. poetry from the Colonial era to the present, offering full treatments of hundreds of key poets of the American canon. What sets this reference apart is that it also discusses events, movements, schools, and poetic approaches, placing poets in their social, historical, political, cultural, and critical contexts and showing how their works mirror the eras in which they were written. Readers will learn about surrealism, ekphrastic poetry, pastoral elegy, the Black Mountain poets, and "language" poetry. There are long and rich entries on modernism and postmodernism as well as entries related to the formal and technical dimensions of American poetry. Particular attention is paid to women poets and poets from various ethnic groups. Poets such as Amiri Baraka, Nathaniel Mackey, Natasha Trethewey, and Tracy Smith are featured. The encyclopedia also contains entries on a wide selection of Latino and Native American poets and substantial coverage of the avant-garde and experimental movements and provides sidebars that illuminate key points.
American Women Poets of the Nineteenth Century by Cheryl Walker Pdf
This publication marks the first time in a hundred years that a wide range of nineteenth-century American women's poetry has been accessible to the general public in a single volume. Included are the humorous parodies of Phoebe Cary and Mary Weston Fordham and the stirring abolitionist poems of Lydia Sigourney, Frances Harper, Maria Lowell, and Rose Terry Cooke. Included, too, are haunting reflections on madness, drug use, and suicide of women whose lives, as Cheryl Walker explains, were often as melodramatic as the poems they composed and published. In addition to works by more than two dozen poets, the anthology includes ample headnotes about each author's life and a brief critical evaluation of her work. Walker's introduction to the volume provides valuable contextual material to help readers understand the cultural background, economic necessities, literary conventions, and personal dynamics that governed women's poetic production in the nineteenth century.
The New York School Poets and the Neo-Avant-Garde by Mark Silverberg Pdf
New York City was the site of a remarkable cultural and artistic renaissance during the 1950s and '60s. In the first monograph to treat all five major poets of the New York School-John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler-Mark Silverberg examines this rich period of cross-fertilization between the arts. Silverberg uses the term 'neo-avant-garde' to describe New York School Poetry, Pop Art, Conceptual Art, Happenings, and other movements intended to revive and revise the achievements of the historical avant-garde, while remaining keenly aware of the new problems facing avant-gardists in the age of late capitalism. Silverberg highlights the family resemblances among the New York School poets, identifying the aesthetic concerns and ideological assumptions they shared with one another and with artists from the visual and performing arts. A unique feature of the book is Silverberg's annotated catalogue of collaborative works by the five poets and other artists. To comprehend the coherence of the New York School, Silverberg demonstrates, one must understand their shared commitment to a reconceptualized idea of the avant-garde specific to the United States in the 1950s and '60s, when the adversary culture of the Beats was being appropriated and repackaged as popular culture. Silverberg's detailed analysis of the strategies the New York School poets used to confront the problem of appropriation tells us much about the politics of taste and gender during the period, and suggests new ways of understanding succeeding generations of artists and poets.
The eighth book--and the most various yet--by a major American poet. With his two previous books, a generous Selected Poems and The Vigil, C. K. Williams received great acclaim, including the PEN/Voelcker Award and the prestigious Berlin Prize. Repair represents an extraordinary outpouring of nearly fifty new poems. His subjects, again, are love, death, secrets among intimates, the waywardness of thought, and the violence and metaphoric power of the natural world. A long poem about the sixties, "King," broods over the mixed motives and misunderstandings of the period; the final poem defines, and in its way celebrates, the "invisible mending" of time and attentiveness to the thing itself. Here is a poet in full maturity, his mastery transforming everything he touches. Repair is a 1999 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry and the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Tennyson Among the Poets by Robert Douglas-Fairhurst,Seamus Perry Pdf
Published to mark the bicentenary of Alfred Tennyson's birth, these essays offer an important revaluation of his achievement and its lasting importance. After several years in which the temper of criticism has been largely political (and often hostile towards Tennyson in particular) a number of influential recent accounts of Victorian poetry have rediscovered the virtues of a closer style of reading and the benefits and pleasures of an approach that, without at all ignoring social and cultural contexts, approaches them through a primary alertness to textual detail and literary history. This volume, including entirely commissioned work by a wide range of critics and scholars from across the profession in both Britain and North America, seeks to bring such forms of attention to bear on the immense variety of Tennyson's career by exploring the complex and multiple connections between Tennyson and other writers - his predecessors, his contemporaries, and his successors. Collectively, the essays describe an intricate network of affiliation and indebtedness, resistance and reconciliation. They provide a unique assessment of Tennyson's origins, work, and imaginative legacy as he enters upon his third century.
THE STORIES: Three women who were astonishing poets are the subjects of this trio of linked short plays. Ono no Komachi (Japan, 9th century), Hrosvitha (Gandersheim, Saxony, 10th century), and Anna Akhmatova (USSR, 20th century) fight for their liv
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist In this stunning volume of epic breadth, Michael Schmidt connects the lives and works of more than 300 poets over the last 700 years--spanning distant shores from Scotland to Australia to the Caribbean, all sharing the English language. Schmidt reveals how each poet has transformed "a common language of poetry" into the rustic rhythms and elegiac ballads, love sonnets, and experimental postmodern verse that make up our lyrical canon. A comprehensive guided tour that is lively and always accessible, Lives of the Poets illuminates our most transcendent literary tradition.
André Malraux, a French secretary of state for cultural affairs and author of Man's Fate (1933), is said to have said, "The 20th century will be spiritual or will not be," a statement still valid in our times. What needed to happen in the 20th century is not happening in the 21st either. This issue has been created in the aftermath of the pandemic and questions inertia with poetry and mythology, which has been the doorway to spirituality from times immemorial. But Reality commands myth and the Spirit commands us to drop stories. This second edition of our initial fourth issue features 19 archetypes, 9 poets, and 2 artists who have collaborated to R4 and whose poetry harmonizes somehow with our core message. Note: Revue Révolution has moved away from free verse after 2022. Contributors: Michael Brosnan, Sue Burge, Darek, Joe Kidd, Maria Linares Freire, Joanna Makoumbou, Catherine McGuire, Ermira Mitre Kokomani, Murielle Mobengo, Ben Nardolilli, and Charles Baudelaire. _____ On attribue à André Malraux, secrétaire d'État français aux affaires culturelles et auteur du Destin de l'homme (1933), les mots suivants : "Le XXe siècle sera spirituel ou ne sera pas". Cette affirmation, qui ne serait finalement pas de lui, est moins poncive qu'il n'y paraît. Ce qui devait se produire au 20ème tarde à se produire au 21ème. Les religions organisées décrépissent et abandonnent la noblesse des symboles, de l'Universel même, qu'elles avaient juré de protéger. Ce numéro de Revue Révolution est né en quarantaine, peu avant la fin de la pandémie de Covid 19. Il questionne l'inertie et la pertinence du symbole et de la mythologie en poésie. Que devient un symbole vidé de sa substance, de son essence, de Dieu lui-même? Peut-on réellement ôter le Divin de l'équation humaine, et si oui, à quel prix? C'est dans le Réel que se trouve la réponse à cette question. Notre histoire récente est terrifiante, complexe, comme une histoire de grands, une histoire d'adultes. Si l'on ne peut plus voir le Divin dans Ses symboles, il faut murir et le chercher dans la Raison. Le Réel lui-même nous le commande. Guidée par 19 archétypes, ce quatrième numéro de Revue Révolution présente 9 poètes et 2 artistes en quête de sens et d'harmonie. Cette deuxième édition de R4 a fait place nette, table rase, avant l'abandon d'une certaine vision de la poésie, qui serait purement cathartique, égoïste et aurait perdu de son universalisme. C'est le Divin, l'absolu, qui parle à travers le poète, dans l'éternité. Le petit moi qui tempête et rage en vers maladroits est déjà obsolète. Revue Révolution remercie les Poètes et Artistes d'Amérique, d'Europe et d'Afrique ayant répondu à son appel à textes de 2022 en collaborant à ce numéro bilingue: Ermira Mitre Kokomani, Catherine McGuire, Sue Burge, Michael Brosnan, Darek, Maria Linares Freire, Joanna Makoumbou, Murielle Mobengo, Ben Nardolilli, Joe Kidd, et Charles Baudelaire.
