The usual suspects gather. The splendour of the natural world surrounding it cannot fail to inspire. Changing seasons bring varying outlooks. Whether in the wilderness or just looking upon the garden. Family interactions feature in this collection, some from the view of a son, some of a father. Situations which may strike a chord with others. The effort of keeping surplus weight off, especially after working hard to shift it, in the first place is always a challenge and prompted a few indifferent verses. This volume includes a homage to the American comedy drama M.A.S.H, a programme I have to acknowledge as shaping my sense of humour, whilst I watched it throughout childhood and teenage. Social comment has again managed to squeeze itself in. There is always something going on in society that gets under my skin at some point, whether it be people driving like idiots or those unfortunate souls who have bad neighbours.
Written according to the classical forms of poetry. Sections of the book include: Seasons, Ballads, Sonnets, Death, Life, Wings, Remembrances, Allegory.
Fascinating conversations with contemporary poets from around the world.
Daniel Karlin has selected poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901). Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, the volume offers generous selections from other major poets such asArnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to 'represent' their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and Augusta Webster.
This stunning anthology gathers together the riches of poetry in Hebrew from 'The Song of Deborah' to contemporary Israeli writings. Verse written up to the tenth century show the development of piyut, or liturgical poetry, and retell episodes from the Bible and exalt the glory of God. Medieval works introduce secular ideas in love poems, wine songs and rhymed narratives, as well as devotional verse for specific religious rituals. Themes such as the longing for the homeland run through the ages, especially in verse written after the rise of the Zionist movement, while poems of the last century marry Biblical references with the horrors of the Holocaust. Together these works create a moving portrait of a rich and varied culture through the last 3,000 years.
Christopher Ricks's celebrated anthology presents a wonderfully varied collection of Victorian poetry, with 560 poems by 115 authors. The great figures of the period - Tennyson, Browning, Swinburne, and Hopkins - are strongly represented, but light verse and nonsense poetry have not been neglected. With most poems given in their entirety, this is a lively and exciting anthology of Victorian verse selected by an expert in the field.
Is both a history and an anthology of poetry in the English language, from Chaucer to T.S. Eliot and from Shakespeare to Dylan Thomas.
