DOWNLOAD EBOOK →More but Not Common Poems and Quotes is the second in a collective work that spans almost every aspect of human experience. A collection of poetry that is narrative and modernist. A book that will allow the reader to garner new appreciation for poetry. One will also find quotes which expel wisdom, quotes that are interpretative to life. They are condensed knowledge that bring forth facets of the soul. Poetry has been a cultural companion of man since his beginning, constantly evolving into verse by the imaginative mind. Poetry is loved by few and disliked by many. Poets for centuries have been put on the edge by critics and have always survived the worst review, for the true poet knows one thing: Live by the poem and die by the poem. Criticism has only allowed the poet to grow stronger. If I had to categorize my work, I would say it is simply blue collar storytelling that can be enjoyed by anyone. But Iall leave it to the reader to label my work. Open your mind and relax with a copy of More but Not Common Poems and Quotes, allowing the poetry to immerse you in a dose of enriching entertainment.

The Sounds of Poetry

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Poet Laureate's clear and entertaining account of how poetry works. "Poetry is a vocal, which is to say a bodily, art," Robert Pinsky declares in The Sounds of Poetry. "The medium of poetry is the human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is as physical or bodily an art as dancing." As Poet Laureate, Pinsky is one of America's best spokesmen for poetry. In this fascinating book, he explains how poets use the "technology" of poetry--its sounds--to create works of art that are "performed" in us when we read them aloud. He devotes brief, informative chapters to accent and duration, syntax and line, like and unlike sounds, blank and free verse. He cites examples from the work of fifty different poets--from Shakespeare, Donne, and Herbert to W. C. Williams, Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, C. K. Williams, Louise Glück, and Frank Bidart. This ideal introductory volume belongs in the library of every poet and student of poetry.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →With a carefully chosen quote for each day of the year, this book will be a constant source of inspiration, accompanying you through the depths of winter to starry summer nights, and on again to Christmas and the New Year. You’ll encounter lines from novels, short stories, essays, journals, and poems, as well as zen-like meditations, and classic aphorisms. The quotes come from more than a hundred different authors—including many of the world’s great literary figures. There are quotes to inspire courage: “The thing is—fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream” (William Golding); ignite creativity: “The Possible’s slow fuse is lit/ By the Imagination!” (Emily Dickinson); and enjoin us to action and goodness: “Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good” (Marcus Aurelius). You’ll meet more playful inspiration in quotes from Douglas Adams and Dr. Seuss. And we’ve also found room for the kind of mystical reflections that poets such as Wallace Stevens so excelled in composing. In these quotes you’ll find a wealth of wisdom distilled into a few choice words. But of course, it is not always the full picture—while the main aim of this collection is to offer day-by-day inspiration, we hope it will also be a springboard for discovering new writers. When you are inspired by a writer’s words, we encourage you to seek out the original work, and rediscover the quote in its natural environment. We have rigorously tracked down the source of each quote and attributed it accordingly. This book was designed to be as easily navigable as possible on your e-reader. To begin, you need only turn to the Contents page and follow the link to the current month. We wish you an inspirational voyage of discovery.
