Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral by Phillis Wheatley, Negro Servant to Mr. John Wheatley, of Boston, in New England (published 1 September 1773) is a collection of 39 poems written by Phillis Wheatley, the first professional African-American woman poet in America and the first African-American woman whose writings were published. Phillis Wheatley broke barriers as the first American black woman poet to be published, opening the door for future black authors. James Weldon Johnson, author, politician, diplomat and one of the first African-American professors at New York University, wrote of Wheatley that "she is not a great American poet-and in her day there were no great American poets-but she is an important American poet.

Geoffrey Chaucer has long been considered by the critics as the father of English poetry. However, this notion not only tends to forget a huge part of the history of Anglo-Saxon literature but also to ignore the specificities of Chaucer's style - if Chaucer cannot be thought of as the father of English poetry, he is, however, the father of English prose and one of the main artisans of what Mikhail Bakhtin called the polyphonic novel.

Zum 125. Geburtstag Erich Maria Remarques am 22. Juni 2023 untersuchte die Remarque-Forschung Netzwerke, an denen Remarque beteiligt war und Netzwerke, die aufgrund seines Wirkens etabliert wurden und bis heute nachwirken, teilweise auch gerade erst aus aktuellen Anlässen entstanden sind. So wurden beispielsweise sowohl in Kiew als auch in Moskau Protestaktionen gegen den Angriffskrieg Russlands auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 mit Auszügen oder ganzen Ausgaben aus »Im Westen nichts Neues« begleitet. Remarque selbst nutzte seine Kontakte zur Unterstützung von Exilanten, zur Rettung von Kunst und zur globalen Verbreitung seiner Werke, gemäß seinem Selbstverständnis als internationaler Autor. Die Beiträge in diesem Band beschäftigen sich darüber hinaus mit »Geschenken für Remarque« sowie einem Essay zu Displaced Persons, verschiedenen Übersetzungen, der Thematik des Heimwehs sowie der aktuellen deutschen Neuverfilmung von »Im Westen nichts Neues«. On the occasion of Erich Maria Remarque's 125th birthday on June 22nd 2023, the research on Remarque examined networks in which Remarque was involved, networks established due to his work and which still have an impact today. Several of these networks have just been founded due to recent events. Thus, protests in Moscow and Kiev against Russia's war against the Ukraine in 2022 were supported with excerpts or complete editions of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front". Remarque used his contacts to support people in exile, to save art and to spread his works according to his commitment as an international author. Furthermore, the contributions in this volume focus on "Offerings for Remarque", an essay on displaced persons, various translations, homesickness as well as the recent German film adaptation "All Quiet on the Western Front".

As a major source of debate on theological topics such as the resurrection of body and soul, justification by faith, and predestination, the New Testament epistles of Saint Paul played a central role in the development of religious thought and practice across Reformation Europe. But in a period when Christian belief and Biblical knowledge permeated every aspect of human life, how did Paul's epistles inform Europe's literary and rhetorical cultures? How did scholars and artists respond, not just to Paul's provocative ideas, but also to his provocative manner of expressing them? Pauline Style and Renaissance Literary Culture is the first critical history of Saint Paul's rhetorical style in the Renaissance, 1500-1700. It explores critical and creative responses to Paul's style across a wide range of mediums and genres, at a time when two powerful and confluent cultural forces--Humanism and Protestantism--profoundly altered conceptions of Biblical writing. Daniel Knapper argues that Paul's style developed into one of the most theoretically productive and artistically provocative styles of the Renaissance primarily because of its controversial reception among European Biblical humanists, who struggled to define and assess its volatile features, qualities, and expressive functions. This theoretical discourse directly impacted literary activity in England, shaping how and why English writers imitated Paul's style in their literary works. From the plays of William Shakespeare, to the devotional poetry of John Donne, to the courtly sermons of Lancelot Andrewes, to the polemical prose and epic poetry of John Milton, English writers imitated Paul's style--or, more precisely, a set of critically and culturally determined aspects of Paul's style--to produce specific aesthetic effects, reflect on pressing theological problems, and engage in heated religious controversies. In tracing the reception of Paul's style in Renaissance literary culture, this groundbreaking study reveals how and why English writers drew on Biblical models to develop their literary practices, even as it reveals how issues of style and rhetoric shaped Biblical interpretation and theological discourse in the contentious religious crucible of Reformation Europe.

Advice to a Young Poet is an English translation, first published on the centenary of the author's birth in 1967, of Max Jacob's posthumous Conseils à un jeune poète. This was Jacob's last major statement on poetry, the culmination of a lifetime's reflection on and practice of the art. This book makes his great personal as well as literary influence on many poets and writers easier to understand. The translator, John Adlard, supplies an introduction which is a valuable contribution to the understanding of Jacob. The book is completed by a deeply personal preface from the pen of Edmond Jabès, and a historically important afterword by the "young poet" himself, Jacques Evrard, the first time he had expressed himself on the subject.<BR>"In Advice to a Young Poet Max sets out to answer a question posed by the young man's father: 'What is a lyrical line?' It is his last major statement on poetry, the final development of the thinking of twenty-five years. 'Men used to believe, ' he wrote in the 1916 preface to Le Cornet à Dés, 'that artists are inspired by angels and that there are different categories of angels.' By 1941, after the years of prayer and contemplation at Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, this is no longer what 'men used to believe', but a fact in the interior life of a poet, the interior life without which a poet cannot be permeable. Only in a mind that is permeable is that conflagration possible ('the conflagration, ' he called it in his Art Poétique of 1922, 'after the encounter of a harmonious man with himself') which produces the lyrical line, the 'consecrated line' identified by its euphoria and its euphony."-from John Adlard's introduction<BR><BR>

Change, they say, is the only constant. Change is what keeps the stone rolling so it gathers no moss - unstoppable and unfeeling as the wheels of time. But sometimes I wonder. Does beauty not lie in decay as well? Is stillness not a requisite for serenity?In the casual delirium of our lives, we wander as Bedouins beneath a desert moon. Across dunes of daily experiences. Through sandstorms of difficult choices. All the while hurtling towards new destinations and newer identities as we continue to explore the world both without and within. And often we are so worn out from this journey that at the end of the day we forget the myriad paths that we have trodden. In our relentless pursuit of the what and the where, we tend to overlook the how and the why.Thus, once in a while, we need to take a back seat. And observe. Perceive and relish the wonders hiding in plain sight just around us - the high-pitched squeals of a child's innocent laughter, the sizzle of stir-frying curry leaves, the blissful aroma of incense, city-lights sprouting at twilight...Innumerable instances of delicate charm that are omnipresent, but are rewarded only to keen senses, just as renowned philosopher Henry David Thoreau once rightly said - "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."And yet, the art of observation doesn't simply end with the discovery of earthly delights. At times when the tides of misery rise too high and the shores of solace seem too far, one has to still the mind in order to soothe the heart. For one who only stares skyward is blinded, whereas one who learns to gaze inward is enlightened. It is these unnoticed details in the intricate tapestry of human existence that I wish to carve out and celebrate in this book. To savour each of its flavours and help spread its fragrance to others. To bring home the realization that a tree without flowers can still be elegant in its own right.Nature, the sower of life and also its reaper, is never inert. Before the bees begin to bumble, a lot is happening behind the garb of apparent dormancy. So what if the buds haven't bloomed? After all, the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly is an affair of great ambition and precision. And such affairs take time.Upon reflection, don't we humans do the same? We bloom, we wither, and we bloom again and again till the ultimate withering sends us back to the earth we arose from. Now that, I believe, is the true essence of the human spirit - to brave all odds and never stop growing so that one day the frost shall thaw and spring shall unfurl.If we are patient enough, gentle reader, perhaps we might understand this enigma that is life - daunting in its grandeur, humbling in its fragility, and in the wise words of Emily Dickinson, "fulfilling absolute decree in casual simplicity." And what better way to appreciate this than to cherish the sweet wait in between blooms! - Amlaan Akshayanshu Sahoo

DieEdition Schoáh & Judaica, die von 1984 und bis einschließlich 2021 rund 375 Titel umfasst, versteht sich als eine Sachbuchreihe. Aber keine Regel ohne Ausnahme: Die Verdichtungen - Gedichte, Reime, Verse - wurden in die Edition aufgenommen, weil ihnen der Herausgeber nicht widerstehen konnte, auch wenn sich die beiden Beiträge aus der Vor-Schoáhzeit total von den fünf Beiträgen aus der Schoáhzeit und der Nach-Schoáhzeit unterscheiden. Da unsere schwarze Reihe jedoch klar genug Edition Schoáh & Judaica heißt, waren uns auch die beiden Vor-Schoáhzeit-Beiträge von Ivan Franko und Lesja Ukrainka als Judaica aus der Ukraine herzlich willkommen. Im übrigen lohnt es sich, alle Originale einmal in die Hand zu nehmen. Die vier Beiträge von Richard Moschkowitz (Österreich, Polen, Buchara), Hans Munk (Tschechien, Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Dachau-Kaufering), Bernhard und Laura Horowitz (Ukraine) sowie Zwi Helmut Steinitz (aus Posen durch etliche deutsche Konzentrationslager nach Israel) repräsentieren ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen der Schoáh, zusätzlich auch dadurch, dass sie von verschiedenen Jahrgängen stammen, weshalb die ganze vorliegende Sammlung nach den Jahrgängen der Autorinnen und Autoren geordnet ist. Eine Besonderheit stellt Martin Roemer des Jahrgangs 1958 dar.

Kaum jemand verfasst heute so zärtliche und zugleich so bildgewaltige Gedichte wie Iveta Ciprysová. Manchmal sind ihre Verse ein bisschen düster und traurig, werden dann aber immer wieder von zutiefst menschlicher Sehnsucht erhellt. Besonders schön sind Ciprysovás liedartige Gedichte.

An important and prescient early example of US environmental writing with a profound sense of consciousness and appreciation for the natural world.In her 1860 book Lichen Tufts, from the Alleghanies, Elizabeth C. Wright weaves together environmental philosophy, lyrical nature writing, and social consciousness. A graduate of Alfred University, Wright was an activist for women's rights, temperance, and the abolition of slavery. She was a teacher, a botanist, and, later in life, a Kansas homesteader. In Lichen Tufts, Wright urged her readers to cultivate an intimate knowledge of the natural world, reflecting her Transcendentalist belief that an immersive relationship with nature benefits the individual as well as society as a whole. Composed of four essays and forty poems, Lichen Tufts reveals wisdom and beauty in an early example of eco-feminism that highlights the natural world as antidote to society's restrictive gender codes, one that is still relevant today.SUNY Press brings Lichen Tufts, from the Alleghanies to life for modern audiences, with a recovery edition featuring the 1860 book in its entirety. An Introduction by Emily E. VanDette places the book and its author in the context of nineteenth-century social reform campaigns throughout the "Burned Over District" of western New York. An Afterword written by Laurie Lounsberry Meehan highlights the history of Alfred University and the cohort that influenced Wright's environmental and social reform activism.

My first collection of Poems titled "The Silence... Between Two Words" sees the profundity of darkness and banality of light between two pre-destined, immutable points called Life and Death. The characters, nay. Beings of my soul now clamour for space as has been their due under the Sun and the lap of Mother Earth. Being a liberal father, I have but to respect their sensibilities in the present Anthology. During the course of dialogue, they have questioned, interrogated, appropriated, negated and denied each and every on their way, the Established Canonical Text of yesteryears dictating thereby the discourse of present in particular to find out the kernel of truth and falsehood. They have assured in crystal clear premises and hyperboles to push me to the edge and ask the subtle differences between Creator and Created. The density and depth of my little understanding of life provokes me to seek the root of our existence, the dialectics of hope and despair, anguish and ecstasy. With utmost humility, my submission is that a dialogue of yore continues with singular vigour and vibrancy to the present moment when you read this foreword. A dialogue is ensued not to find out The Ultimate Reality, but to churn out alternative realities. I dedicate this book to the critically objective scrutiny and wisdom of my readers.Dr. Ratikanta Mishra

In the preface, Maurice Whelan writes, 'It is one thing to get started as a writer. It is another to sustain a creative writing life. I select a few poets who have written about how they established, defined, and sustained themselves. There is an exploration of the relationship between dreams and poetry, of language and the benefits of knowing the way language has shaped who we are and how a love of words is essential if you are to become a poet.' There are many parts in this short book. In one, poems written during the Covid 19 outbreak offer a literary diary of life during the pandemic. As the world was turned upside down, Maurice Whelan responded to that upside down-ness by writing poetry. Poetry speaks to the author and the author speaks to us about the essence of what it is to be human. His belief in its revelatory and restorative powers inform every page. His is a poetry of life, a search for beauty, a declaration of rights, the right to an imaginative inner world, the right to an outer world founded on truth, liberty and justice.

This book is a history of the nineteenth-century poetry of slavery and freedom framed as an argument about the nature of poetry itself: why we write it, why we read it, how it interacts with history.The poetry of the transatlantic abolitionist movement represented a powerful alliance across racial and religious boundaries; today it challenges the demarcation in literary studies between cultural and aesthetic approaches. Now is a particularly apt moment for its study. This book is a history of the nineteenth-century poetry of slavery and freedom framed as an argument about the nature of poetry itself: why we write it, why we read it, how it interacts with history. Poetry that speaks to a broad cross-section of society with moral authority, intellectual ambition, and artistic complexity mattered in the fraught years of the mid nineteenth century; Brian Yothers argues that it can and must matter today.Yothers examines antislavery poetry in light of recent work by historians, scholars in literary, cultural, and rhetorical studies, African-Americanists, scholars of race and gender studies, and theorists of poetics. That interdisciplinary sweep is mirrored by the range of writers he considers: from the canonical - Whitman, Barrett Browning, Beecher Stowe, DuBois, Melville - to those whose influence has faded - Longfellow, Lydia Huntley Sigourney, John Pierpont, John Greenleaf Whittier, James Russell Lowell - to African American writers whose work has been recovered in recent decades - James M. Whitfield, William Wells Brown, George Moses Horton, Frances E. W. Harper.

William Shakespeare was the most brilliant writer in the history of the English language. But his life is a complete mystery to us. No biographies were written for almost a hundred years after his death. His friends, family, and all those who knew him as a poet in London's theatrical scene died before anyone could ask them: who was Shakespeare? What was he like? What were his habits, his amusements, his passions?Inside you will read about...A Legend is BornThe Lost YearsEarly CareerThe Golden YearsPoetic WorksThe Death of William ShakespeareAnd much more!Shakespeare spent few of his children's early years with them. He formed a relationship with the theatre and became embroiled in the political issues of the time, which led to dealings with the Queen herself.Gary O'Connor portrays Shakespeare's life in clarity, starting with his family life, the troubles he had and the making of him ... through relating Shakespeare's life experiences to the plays Shakespeare wrote.
