God`s Poems – The Beauty of Poetry and the Christian Imagination
by John Poch
Poetry is exciting, but elusive to most. This is troublesome for Christians because the Bible, John Poch reminds us, is largely composed of poetical verse. In God’s Poems, Poch re-introduces sacred text as purposefully poetic, and explains what that means and invites the reader to with this insight live more thoughtfully and beautifully. But that is not all. Poch as a well-established and regarded poet, turns his eye to contemporary poetry and vindicates its function in a “created and creativ...

Religion, Reason, and Culture in the Age of Goethe
by Elisabeth Krimmer and Patricia Anne Simpson
The eighteenth century is usually considered to be a time of increasing secularization in which the primacy of theology was replaced by the authority of reason, yet this lofty intellectual endeavor played itself out in a social and political reality that was heavily impacted by religious customs and institutions. This duality is visible in the literature and culture of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Germany. On the one hand, authors such asGoethe, Schiller, and Kleist are known fo...

T.S.Eliot at the Turn of the Century (Lund studies in English, #86)
In 1992, the year of the hundredth anniversary of Walt Whitman's death, a major gathering of international scholars took place at the University of Iowa. Over 150 participants heard papers by 20 of the world's most eminent critics of Whitman.

So significant was this historic celebration of the great American poet that the opening session was covered by CBS "Sunday Morning...
I PACED alone on the road across the field while the sunset was hiding its last gold like a miser. The daylight sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, and the widowed land, whose harvest had been reaped, lay silent. Suddenly a boy's shrill voice rose into the sky. He traversed the dark unseen, leaving the track of his song across the hush of the evening. His village home lay there at the end of the waste land, beyond the sugar-cane field, hidden among the shadows of the banana and the slender...
Tristania (Tristania S.)
An easy to read, fascinating story of the politics behind the poetry, followed by the poetry itself. The Story of Poetry follows the style of this classic new series, with the first half of each volume showing how poetry was as much a reflection and sometime-counterweighted reaction to the current affairs of its own times. The poetry comes alive when we see it set contextually. The Story of Poetry, Volume III: From Pope to Burns, is certain to become a classic and indispensable historical ant...
Car L Adieu, C Est La Nuit (Poesie/Gallimard, A34759)
by Emily Dickinson
Amy Lowell, American Modern
This volume presents a re-evaluation of Lowell, and builds a solid critical basis for assessing her poetry, criticism, politics and influence. Essays explore the varied contributions of Lowell as a woman poet, a modernist and a significant force behind the literary debates of early-20th-century poetics. In addition to placing Lowell in her proper historical context, contributes demonstrate her centrality to current critical and theoretical discussions: femist, gay and lesbian, and post-colonial,...
