Haiku 61 Revisited

Download or read book Haiku 61 Revisited written by Robert MacMillan and published by Windswept Atlantic Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Japanese verse form, American haiku contains three lines with a five/seven/five syllable structure. While haiku is so much associated with the land of its birth, it was a favorite of Kerouac and the Beat poets, who popularized the verse standard in America and used it to express their wanderlust and melancholy. Poets since have used it in a much more lighthearted way. If there was one musician who comes close to the style of the Beats, it's Bob Dylan. The prolific singer and songwriter looms large over the music scene to this day. His songs can tell a whole story, and they often have many verses. Surprisingly, sometimes the best way to convey the complexity of his work is with the greatest simplicity. Writer and Bob Dylan fan Robert MacMillan is the first to make this connection. He celebrates Dylan's legacy (and verbosity) by condensing Dylan's many songs into haiku. Each beautiful (and sometimes cheeky) haiku is accompanied by background about the associated song, with an examination of its lyrics and meaning. Music interpretation becomes an art form itself in this new poetry collection.

Download or read book Cello's Tears written by Geza Tatrallyay and published by PRA Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-06 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While poetry often uses precise phrases and carefully constructed stanzas to create a kind of written music, author Geza Tatrallyay ups the emotional and structural ante through literary translation. The result is Cello’s Tears, a testament to universal truths that is unhindered by the constraints of a single language. A multilingual world traveler, Tatrallyay wrote his debut poetry collection over many years and in many locales, as evidenced by the poems’ myriad forms and origins—including original haikus, tankas, and translations from German, French, and Hungarian. Beyond their varying origins, the poems playfully push the boundaries of meaning through the use of unconventional words and phrases. Many verses, inspired by the deeply emotive quality of great music, evoke a similar sentimental response in the reader. And in a final ode to the musical quality of the poet’s work, Tatrallyay arranges the verses in four parts, just as a composer arranges a symphony. Emotion, form, and musically influenced symbolism deliver a compulsively readable collection that will delight lovers of contemporary poetry.

Book excerpt: Offering essays from some of the leading academic writers and younger scholars in the field of American studies from both the United States and Europe, this volume constitutes a rich and varied reconsideration of Modernist American poetry. Its contributions fall into two general categories: new and original discussions of many of the principal figures of the movement (Frost, Pound, Eliot, Williams, Cummings and Stevens) and reflections on the phenomenon of Modernism within a broader cultural context (the influence of Haiku, parallels and connections with Surrealism, responses to the Modernist accomplishment by later American poets). Because of its mixture of European and American perspectives, Modernism Revisited will be of vital interest to students and scholars of American literature and Modernism in general and of twentieth-century comparative literature and art.
