Beschreibung

In "Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyll," John Greenleaf Whittier masterfully captures the intimacy of rural New England life through vivid imagery and reflective verse. This long poem chronicles a family'Äôs experience during a snowstorm, evoking nostalgia and a sense of belonging. Whittier'Äôs rich, descriptive language and his deep connection with nature intertwine to create a serene yet dynamic portrayal of winter, reflecting the broader Romantic movement that emphasizes emotion and the sublime beauty of the natural world. The work stands as a meditation on the simplicity and hardships of agrarian life, revealing the warmth of family ties amid the cold desolation of winter'Äôs grip. John Greenleaf Whittier, a prominent American Quaker poet and social reformer, drew inspiration from his own upbringing in rural Massachusetts, which profoundly influenced his thematic choices. His engagement in the abolitionist movement and advocacy for social justice is mirrored in his elevation of humble, everyday experiences, showcasing an unwavering commitment to truth and sincerity in his art. Whittier's acute sensitivity to rhythm and rural ethos provides a reflective lens on both personal and collective memory. "Snow-Bound" is an essential read for those who appreciate the intersection of nature, memory, and familial bonds within American literature. Readers will find in Whittier'Äôs verse a timeless representation of resilience and warmth in the face of nature'Äôs challenges, making it a powerful and evocative exploration of human experience that resonates long after the last page is turned.

    This is a place you never hear about in America... 
    A unique American collection of poetry, Whaling Town explores the rough work of self-realization and the roots that anchor us to the unsteady ground of our past.  
    Facing a turning point in his life, David Parker Allen began traversing the landscape of the United States, researching and writing music and assembling the bones of a collection of poetry. His journey led him through a personal family immigrant story in New Bedford, Massachusetts—the whaling town Melville made famous—to small communities across the Mississippi Delta and deep South, Gulf Coast, and Mountain West, as well as the streets of Chicago and New York. Jumping from rural America to urban hubs and back, Whaling Town tells a story of place and people in a gritty world that’s both in and out of our control. 
    With clear-eyed observations and gentle musicality, Allen takes stock of the burden of our collective history and looks directly into passing storms that we each must face alone. When the skies clear, how do we come to terms with self and our place in this world, and what do we build from the wreckage?

    The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a collection of quatrains (four-line verses) attributed to the 12th-century Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, Omar Khayyam. While the original Persian text is complex and open to interpretation, it is the English translation by Edward Fitzgerald that popularized the work in the Western world. 
    Fitzgerald's translation portrays a world view that is often characterized as: 
    Carpe Diem: Seize the day, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of enjoying the present moment. 
    Skepticism: Questioning traditional beliefs and religious dogma, particularly in relation to the afterlife. 
    Epicureanism: Focusing on pleasure and the senses as the primary goods in life. 
    Fatalism: Accepting one's fate and the inherent unpredictability of existence.
