The New Life (La Vita Nuova)

"La Vita Nuova" is the first of two collections of verse and prose written by the Italian poet, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Since the Middle Ages, Dante has been cherished as the «Supreme Poet,» or simply il Poeta, of Italy, and is most widely recognized for his allegorical «Divina Commedia». «La Vita Nuova» contains works written over a period of ten years, from before 1283 to roughly 1293, and is the semi-autobiographical account of Dante's lifelong love for a woman he called...

The Major Works of Alfred Tennyson

Lord Alfred Tennyson

The Major Works of Alfred Tennyson

Alfred Tennyson is one of the foremost poets of Victorian England and is studied today for his deeply intellectual and classic style. He was the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1850 to his death in 1892. He was a favorite of Queen Victoria, and she even made him a baron out of respect for him and his works. Many of his poems focus on classical Greek, Roman, and Medieval mythology. One such poem is the Arthurian-inspired ballad «The Lady of Shallot.» The poem centers on a mysterious...

The Lifetime Between

Nikki Merriman

The Lifetime Between

Ever written a letter you never sent? Words you've never said but wanted to? That's what you're about to read in The Lifetime Between. Every word, every page, is a note, a letter, a thought to someone specific—a friend, a lover, an ex-lover, a family member, the author herself. Words left unsaid. Words held back in fear. Words that didn't come until it was too late. Words of hurt, of anger, of love, of hope, of strength. Words of truth—which sometimes...

The Lichtenberg Figures

Ben Lerner

The Lichtenberg Figures

The Lichtenberg Figures , winner of the Hayden Carruth Award, is an unconventional sonnet sequence that interrogates the relationship between language and memory, violence and form. “Lichtenberg figures” are fern-like electrical patterns that can appear on (and quickly fade from) the bodies of people struck by lightning. Throughout this playful and elegiac debut—with its flashes of autobiography, intellection, comedy, and critique—the vocabulary of...

Don Bogen calls the work an archeology, and uses details f life in past eras as a way of penetrating the surfaces of history. In his account, everything known is both encumbered with and defined by the past. Short poems in this collection cohere around...

This collection of poems, 'The Ivy Entangles', attempts to share with the reader some of the inner thoughts, the sentiments and perhaps at times a certain perspective or opinion of some events, people and places that have been significant to me during my life to date.

Homer

The Iliad (Translated into verse by Alexander Pope with an Introduction and notes by Theodore Alois Buckley)

Due to a lack of biographical evidence regarding the identity of Homer it has been suggested that the two great works attributed to him, the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey” may, in fact, be the work of multiple authors passed down through a long oral tradition. While scholarship on the subject will likely never definitely prove one way or the other, it is now generally accepted that these two great epic poems are the work of a single Greek author, Homer, who lived sometime during the 9th century BC....

The Hundred Grasses

Leila Wilson

The Hundred Grasses

Wilson writes from the periphery of an open field in this extended investigation into longing and loss, love and doubt.  As the poet muses, «we wonder / what we're not / in the field,» and reading The Hundred Grasses, we are made to wonder as much about what exists within us as how we’re shaped by what we lack. For Wilson, the act of looking can animate what is seemingly static. Stillness becomes not absence but fullness. These poems shape...
