Making Your Own Days: The Pleasures of Reading and Writing Poetry By Kenneth Koch
1999 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0684824388 | PDF | 37 MB
From one of the most esteemed American poets of the twenty-first century comes a celebration of poetry and an invitation for anyone to experience its beauty and wonder.Full of fresh and exciting insights,Making Your Own Daysilluminates the somewhat mysterious subject of poetry for those who read it and for those who write it-as well as for those who would like to read and write it better. By treating poetry not as a special use of language but as a distinct language-unlike the one used in prose and conversation-Koch clarifies the nature of poetic inspiration, how poems are written and revised, and what happens to the heart and mind while reading a poem.Koch also provides a rich anthology of more than ninety works from poets past and present. Lyric poems, excerpts from long poems and poetic plays, poems in English, and poems in translation from Homer and Sappho to Lorca, Snyder, and Ashbery; each selection is accompanied by an explanatory note designed to complement and clarify the text and to put pleasure back into the experience of poetry.

In Their Right Minds: The Lives and Shared Practices of Poetic Geniuses By Carole Brooks Platt
2015 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 184540789X | EPUB | 2 MB
In 1976, Julian Jaynes proposed that the language of poetry and prophecy originated in the right, "god-side" of the brain. Current neuroscientific evidence confirms the role of the right hemisphere in poetry, a sensed presence, and paranormal claims as well as in mental imbalance. Left-hemispheric dominance for language is the norm. An atypically enhanced right hemisphere, whether attained through genetic predisposition, left-hemispheric damage, epilepsy, childhood or later traumas, can create hypersensitivities along with special skills. Dissociative "Others" may arise unbidden or be coaxed out through occult practices. Based on nearly twenty years of scientific and literary research, this book enters the atypical minds of poetic geniuses ― Blake, Keats, Hugo, Rilke, Yeats, Merrill, Plath and Hughes ― by way of the visible signs in their lives, beliefs, and shared practices.
