Poems Written Abroad by Stephen Spender Pdf

Poems Written Abroad is the first publication of the earliest collection of poetry by the famous poet, novelist, literary critic, translator, and radical, Sir Stephen Spender (1909-1995). Spender wrote and compiled this manuscript in 1927, when he was living in Nantes and Lausanne. In tone and diction, Spender's poems range from creatively traditional to unexpectedly innovative. They reflect his reading in Shakespeare and French poetry, as well as his absorption in music and modern art. They also document his struggles with his sexual identity and his emerging desire to devote his life, at whatever cost, to the writing of poetry. This beautiful facsimile edition, authorized by the Spender estate, faithfully reproduces the features of the original manuscript now held by the Lilly Library, including the frontispiece, an ink drawing by Spender himself, and little-known photographs of the poet. The editor's extensive introduction and detailed explanatory notes situate Spender's juvenilia in the context of his life and work and the history of modern poetry. The volume will appeal to readers with interests in modern poetry, gender studies, and fine books.

Hic Et ILLIC by H. J. Bulkeley Pdf

Excerpt from Hic Et ILLIC: Poems Written at Home and Abroad For instance, I have translated one of Petrarch's sonnets, 'the Voyage', not because it wasespecially Petrarchian, but because it was so modern, because it had the flavour of Giacomo Leopardi. Again, I have brought a reference to the 'hippolytus' of Euripides into the poem on Etna, because I had in my mind Professor Gilbert Murray's spirited translation. And it was Collins' 'ode to Evening' that induced me to translate the 'el Crepusculo' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Scenes Abroad by William Burt Harlow Pdf

Excerpt from Scenes Abroad: And Other Poems Think of the ones who must stay How they waved us adieux from the pier, And how nobly they gave us good cheer, How they smiled as they choked back the tear That made the eye beam with a light Of sorrow in joy as from sight On we passed to the wierd, mystic deep That so long us, their loved ones must keep.

Days of Destiny by Ronald Gorell Barnes Pdf

Excerpt from Days of Destiny: War Poems at Home and Abroad The majority of the shorter poems included in this volume have been published in The Times, others in Tke Contemporary Review, Yorkslzire Post, Observer, Nation and the Westminster and Pall Mall Gazettes; my thanks are due to the Editors for their kind per mission to republish. Ten poems are published for the first time. Apart from the dedicatory poem, they are given in the order in which they were written, and, where necessary, dates attached. The first alone is concerned with the national rather than the international situation, but the brevity of the inter val between it and the second seems now full of significance.

Reverberations Abroad by Chimdi Maduagwu Pdf

There are a total of nine contributors to this Anthology. All are immigrants from Africa to America, except two people; Cyril Obi and Chinwe Azubike, who live and work in Europe. The collection thus is a reflection of sundry temperaments in poetic art. Non of the writers is indeed writing for the first time. They have all had poems and other forms of writings published in some form of media. However, non also has as yet become towering. Their poems are rich in personal and collective experiences and artistic devices. While some are urbane, some still exhume the rural qualities of African life and yet others achieve a blend of both the urban and the rural. In all, the poems are interesting and the annotations make an understanding of the collection a lot easier.

Foreign Bodies: Poems by Kimiko Hahn Pdf

A striking, shapeshifting volume from "one of the most fascinating female poets of our time (BOMB)." Inspired by her encounter with Dr. Chevalier Jackson’s collection of ingested curiosities at Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum, Kimiko Hahn’s tenth collection investigates the grip that seemingly insignificant objects exert on our lives. Itself a cabinet of curiosities, the collection provokes the same surprise, wonder, and pangs of recognition Hahn felt upon opening drawer after drawer of these swallowed, and retrieved, objects—a radiator key, a child’s perfect attendance pin, a mother-of-pearl button. The speaker of these moving poems sees reflections of these items in the heartbreaking detritus of her family home, and in her long-dead mother’s Japanese jewelry. As Hahn remakes the lyric sequence in chains reminiscent of the Japanese tanka, the foreign bodies of the title expand to include the immigrant woman’s trafficked body, fossilized remains, a grandmother’s Japanese body. She explores the relationship between our innermost selves and the relics of our vanished past, making room for meditation on grief and the ephemeral nature of the material world, for the account of a nineteenth-century female fossil hunter, and for a celebration of the nautilus. Foreign Bodies investigates the power of possession, replete with Hahn’s electric originality and thrilling mastery of ever-changing forms.

A Journey Abroad by Roland J. Harris Pdf

The poems in this book were written between 1944 and 1946 whilst the author was serving with the Friends Ambulance Unit, first in London hospitals and then in northwest Europe following the Allied advance. He remained in Germany during the aftermath of the war working with displaced persons, refugees, and civilians. Roland J. Harris (1919-1969) became a teacher and pioneering educational researcher, and author of textbooks and articles on the teaching of English grammar and poetry. On the Schools Council he was instrumental in raising the school-leaving age to sixteen. Together with his wife Martha Harris he conceived and started the Schools Counselling course at the Tavistock Clinic. Later he taught psycholinguistics at Brunel University. A Journey Abroad (his own title) is accompanied by photographs that he took at the time. These complex poems constitute a historical record, an analysis of pacifist convictions, a deeply introspective autobiographical narrative, and above all, a celebration of life.
