I have written an abundance of poems—some good, some very good, and some very bad. I am eighty-three, and I doubt I’ll do too many more, good or bad. Sixty Years of Poetry will be joining my other works Light Verse & Limericks and Hodge Podge, my book of short stories, on my bookshelf.
Fifty Years of American Poetry by Academy Of American Poets Pdf
Seer, critic, lover, madwoman--the poet's sensibility gives us a chance to experience them all. This rich, wide-ranging collection of work by scores of America's contemporary poets brings you both wisdom and entertainment in short verse. In it are represented, with one poem each, the chancellors, fellows, and award winners of the Academy of American Poets since 1934. The result is a unique sampler of the various literary styles and themes that have left their marks on the past five decades. Fifty Years of American Poetry gives readers the opportunity to hear familiar voices and new ones--and encounter the great American poems that have captured both our minds and our hearts. The Academy of American Poets has as its stated purpose ''To encourage, stimulate, and foster the production of American poetry..." This was never limited to poets of any particular school, method, or category of poetry so this anthology is as representative a cross-section of American poetry in the last 50 years as any of its kind. The Academy is not a stodgy eastem provincial institution. It encourages young poets, recognizes the importance of change and growth in the poetry of America, and believes that poetry is not for poets only. This anthology was compiled on this basis. Fifty Years Of American Poetry is not only educational, but also inspirational, hopefully imbuing everyone who reads it with a sense of the dynamic and development of American poetry in the last half century. The Academy of American Poets is the only institution which could compile such a unique anthology because it is the oniy group which has consistently played a large part in the American poetry scene through its patronage to poets and its mission to make poetry an accessible and vital part of the American literary landscape. -->
Poems of Sixty-Five Years by William Ellery Channing Pdf
Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years Dear Reader! if my verse could say How in my blood that Nature runs Which manifesteth no decay - The fire that lights a thousand suns; How thou and I are freely lent A little of that element: If I could say what landscape says, And human pictures say far more - If I could twine the sunny days With the rich colors on the floor Of daily Love - how thou and I Might be refreshed with charity! How grateful is the softened smile Of winter sunset o'er the snow! And blessed is our spheral isle That through the unknown void must go; The current of that stream is sweet Where many waters closely meet.

Barbara Marie Minney writes personal and emotional poetry that describes her feelings, thoughts, and passions while struggling to live her truth as a transgender woman. She began her transition to living authentically as the woman that she now knows she was meant to be a little over two years ago at the age of 63 after repressing her true gender identity for over 60 years.
Sixty Years of Poems by Joe presents a group of poems that reflect the poet's work over the last six decades, ranging from classically structured poems to prose verse, and variations of these. This selection presents the work of a poet who is a lawyer, a novelist (Sanctified, 2013), a farmer, and a great grandfather, but always a poet. The book contains 41 poems, of which 15 are Haiku. "Haiku is special. It has tight parameters that force the poet to think and explore. This usually results in a satisfying poem, but occasionally it produces a profound thought bomb that takes poet and reader to another place," Joe says in the introduction to the Haiku section. Now in his late 70's, he only in the last few years began writing in the Haiku form. "It's amazing how expansive a poem of three lines with a total of seventeen syllables can be. For example consider these two poems: She planted an elm. It grew and shaded my yard. Then she chopped it down. and Bright white clouds roll in, against a vast azure sky. Then the dark clouds come. "The three short lines in the first poem cover human experience of many years, and the human condition in general, and precisely the same can be said of the second poem. And yet what is invoked is not spoken about directly. But we feel it and we know it. For me that is the wonder of Haiku."

I began writing song lyrics, short stories, and poetry some 48-years-ago. While I was in high school, during the 60s, I had the privilege of meeting Poet Laureate of the United States of America, Mr. Robert Frost. He spoke with me discussing my writings, my poetry. He told me to keep writing and reading, and as I continued I would learn so much more, and eventually become a published poet. I have continued writing lyrics, short stories, and poetry. I am now 63-years-old, and I have been published. I have always told other poets and writers to keep on writing, and learning about the many different styles of the written arts. I have also spent 35-years as an entertainer, singer, song writer, and also a musician. I have worked with Tom T. Hall, Billy Jo Spears, Red Sovine, Bobby Bare, and Kitty Wells. I have also played with Rhythm Blues Entertainers too, The Four Tops, The Platters, The Shrills, and Visions ( Mark Farner, of Grand Funk Railroad, and the survivors of the Lynard Skynard Band). We were an International Country Rhythm Blues Band, and played together for several years. The way I see writing poetry is a likeness to a photograph of a moment, a dream, a place, a thing, a memory. Life comes at us in many ways, sometimes in many different ways at once. Its the situations that arise, the masks some people wear, the way they talk and rub shoulders with everybody. These things make up the poetry I write. When you sit down and look at life youll find its much bigger than just us. This is poetry, lyric writing, short stories, journalism, actually all the arts. I have found all things good in writing, even when Im turned down by an editor. Its all learning, and enjoying what I do. I choose a photograph, a moment, a dream, or a situation and I write about it. I create a picture with words. I live a simple life as a disabled veteran of the U.S.M.C., and of the Vietnam War. However, I am simply me, and I dont try and say Im someone else. Who am I? Well Im a human being who loves the arts. My message to you all who reads this is KEEP ON WRITING, KEEP ON KEEPING ON.
