Mcdowell Begins With Poetry As An Entry Into Spirituality Before Moving Toward The Technical Aspects Of Poetry Itself (rhyme, Meter, Form, Genre).

He attempted suicide twice, slashing his wrists in prison, and jumping from a hospital window in Cherdyn. Exiled to Voronezh, he seemed crushed.

The editors have attempted to collect every poem (860 in all) published by the writer in his lifetime, and have also provided a brief but informative introduction, a detailed chronology and extensive textual notes that include the original date and place of publication for each poem. In fact, this edition corrects the many errors and omissions of the standard Hughes bibliography, and the editors plan to update the text as more unpublished work surfaces. Although Hughes is best known for his poems celebrating African African life, he was also a passionately political poet who paid dearly for his communist affiliations and radical views. The chronological arrangement of the poems allows the reader to follow the course of Hughes's career-long political engagement, though probably Hughes will mainly be read for the clarity of his language, his wise humor and his insight into the human condition.

In a time when the education of women was of little concern, Hutchinson was fortunate to have parents who saw to it that from an early age she had a good education, including French and Latin. She undertook her translation of Lucretius' poem De Rerum Natura in the 1650s: it was the first English translation of the poem by a woman, and possibly the first in English as well. Hutchinson's translation well represents the complex world view of the Roman philosopher Lucretius, and his curiously modern understanding of atoms and their role in science and nature.\n\n\n\nHugh de Quehen's engaging volume presents Lucy Hutchinson's translation, together with considerable information on Hutchinson herself and on Lucretius, as well as a brief commentary on the intellectual and social climate of seventeenth-century England. He also presents a bibliography of the editions of Lucretius, published translations of Lucretius, writings of Hutchinson and her contemporaries, and later writings on Lucretius and Hutchinson.\n\n\n\nLucy Hutchinson's Translation of Lucretius will interest scholars of the classical tradition and of ancient science and philosophy, as well as those interested in English literary and history.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Michigan Press, 1997","offers":[{"title":"Lucy Hutchinson's Translation of Lucretius: De rerum natura \/ Very Good","offer_id":47946695999780,"sku":"9780472107780VG","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/products\/9780472107780_75c23685-eef5-4d23-8e32-13e8e3b1924e.gif?v=1706671320"},{"product_id":"9780918949493","title":"I Am Becoming the Woman I've Wanted - Martz, Sandra","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eI Am Becoming the Woman I've Wanted\u003c\/u\u003e by Martz, Sandra\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by Papier-Mache Press, 2010\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI Am Becoming The Woman I've Wanted, The Latest In The Series Of Best-selling Anthologies (when I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple And If I Had My Life To Live Over I Would Pick More Daisies), Delves Into The Sometimes Hidden And Always Powerful Feelings That Women Have About Their Bodies.

Opening with twenty new poems and including generous selections from Jane Kenyon's four previous books―From Room to Room, The Boat of Quiet Hours, Let Evening Come, and Constance―this collection was selected and arranged by Kenyon herself―alongside her husband, the esteemed poet Donald Hall―shortly before her death in April 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis extensive gathering reveals a scrupulously crafted body of work in which poem after poem achieves a rare and somber grace. Light and shade are never far apart in these telling narratives of life and love and work at the poet's rural New Hampshire home. The shadow of depression in Kenyon's verse, which grew much darker and longer at certain intervals, has the force and heft of a spiritual presence―a god, demon, angel. Yet her work emphasizes the constant effort of her imagination to confront and even find redemption in suffering. However quiet or domesticated or subtle in her moods and methods, Kenyon was a poet who sought to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary, and her poems continue to make this discovery. As Hall writes in the afterword to Otherwise, we share \"her joy in the body and the creation, in flowers, music, and paintings, in hayfields and a dog.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press, 1997","offers":[{"title":"Otherwise: New \u0026 Selected Poems \/ Very Good","offer_id":48009711517988,"sku":"9781555972660VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/products\/9781555972660.jpg?v=1706979423"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/collections\/poetry.png?v=1706237392","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/collections\/poetry.oembed","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
