Dark Truths - A Poetry Book A collection of darkly tinged poems to touch the soul and spirit, focusing on love, life, guilt and every emotion inbetween.
The Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave. This illustrious phrase encapsulates the aspirations of America and its people. In this volume we feature 50 American poets beginning with the Colonist Anne Bradstreet in the 17th century, when American poetry was entirely rooted in its parental British forms. From here our classic poets take us through Centuries of history, through Independence and expansion Westward, across the cities and vast landscapes of their words. Along the journey we also meet the Imagists, the poets from the Harlem Renaissance by way of the Transcendentalists and the Fireside Poets. The giants of the poetic way loom large; Walt Whitman. Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Edna St Vincent Millay. Our rambling poetic stroll gives voice to the nation’s hopes, its dreams, its failings, its musings. We cannot hope to define America but we do provide the many changing moods and flavours of the times as we discover the essence of its soul. 1 - Fifty Shades of September - An Introduction 2 - September by George Arnold 3 - September by Helen Hunt Jackson 4 - September 1st 1802 By William Wordsworth 5 - Lines Written Beneath an Elm in the Churchyard of Harrow-on-the-Hill September 2nd 1807 by Lord Byron 6 - Sonnet XXL, Sacred to the Memory of Edward Spedding Who Died September 3rd 1832 by Henry Alford 7 - An Indian Summer Day on the Prairie by Vachel Lindsay 8 - Lines Written on the 6th September by Thomas Gent 9 - Autumn in Sussex by Radclyffe Hall 10 - Autumn in Cornwall by Algernon Charles Swinburne 11 - Written in London September 1802 by William Wordsworth 12 - Autumn by Kahlil Gibran 13 - September by Carlos Wilcox 14 - A Calendar of Sonnets - September by Helen Hunt Jackson 15 - September by John Payne 16 - The Name of it is Autumn by Emily Dickinson 17 - September 1815 by William Wordsworth 18 - Autumn Song by Dante Gabriel Rosetti 19 - Autumn Dawn by Charles Sorley 20 - An Autumn Sunset by Edith Wharton 21 - A September Night by George Marion McClellan 22 - In Autumn Moonlight by Robert Seymour Bridges 23 - Indian Summer by Henry Van Dyke 24 - September 1819 by William Wordsworth 25 - The Autumn by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 26 - Autumn by Thomas Hood 27 - Elegy in April and September by Wilfred Owen 28 - September 1918 by Amy Lowell 29 - 21st September, 1870 by Charles Kingsley 30 - An Autumn Rain Scene by Thomas Hardy 31 - Sonnet.

LibriVox volunteers bring you 19 recordings of The Window on the Hill by Madison Julius Cawein. This was the Weekly Poetry project for April 22, 2012.Madison Julius Cawein was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the fifth child of William and Christiana (Stelsly) Cawein. His father made patent medicines from herbs. Cawein thus became acquainted with and developed a love for local nature as a child. After graduating from high school, Cawein worked in a pool hall in Louisville as a cashier in Waddill's New-market, which also served as a gambling house. He worked there for six years, saving his pay so he could return home to write. His output was thirty-six books and 1,500 poems. His writing presented Kentucky scenes in a language echoing Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. He soon earned the nickname the "Keats of Kentucky". He was popular enough that, by 1900, he told the Louisville Courier-Journal that his income from publishing poetry in magazines amounted to about $100 a month (Summary by Wikipedia)Zum Buch
