Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times by Zhiyi Yang (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 5 hours ago

Wang Jingwei, poet and politician, patriot and traitor, has always been a figure of major academic and popular interest. Until now, his story has never been properly told, let alone critically investigated. The significance of his biography is evident from an ongoing war on cultural memory: modern mainland China prohibits serious academic research on wartime collaboration in general, and on Wang Jingwei in particular. At this critical juncture, when the recollection of World War II is fading from living memory and transforming into historical memory, this knowledge embargo will undoubtedly affect how China remembers its anti-fascist role in WWII. In Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times, Zhiyi Yang brings us a long overdue reexamination of Wang's impact on cultural memory of WWII in China. In this book, Yang brings disparate methodologies into a fruitful dialogue, including sophisticated methods of poetic interpretation. The author argues that Wang's lyric poetry, as the public performance of a private voice, played a central role in constructing his political identity and heavily influenced the public's posthumous memory of him. Drawing on archives (in the PRC, Taiwan, Japan, the USA, France, and Germany), memoires, historical journals, newspapers, interviews, and other scholarly works, this book offers the first biography of Wang that addresses his political, literary, and personal life in a critical light and with sympathetic impartiality.

Made to Praise Book 1: Thin Black Road: A Collection of Short Christian Poems Aimed at Uplifting Weary Souls by Julie C. Gilbert 4.3 Stars (13 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Thin Black Road There's a thin black road I have traveled many times. It leads to peace In so many ways. It's kind of hard to describe For the road's oft unclear. It unfolds to me Like a lovely gift One word at a time. Then, music fills in the gaps, Making worries fade away, As unexplainable peace pours in. There's a thin black road It leads me to peace. When good or ill tidings come To threaten my equilibrium, I will travel that road And return to peaceful calm. *** This is the first inspirational Christian poetry collection. It's followed by Just Like You and My Champion. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

Poems For a Faithful Heart: Christian Poetry on God's Love by Jocelyn Soriano 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

I think Christian poetry is similar to prayer in that it focuses on the Love of Him who is Faithful and True. If we can write so many poems about love, why not write poetry for the One who is Love Himself? Why not seek love from whom it can be found? This book is titled "Poems For a Faithful Heart" because it is a collection of inspirational poems for God, the One with a Faithful Heart. He is the Lover who seeks us and will never disappoint us. If you are looking for religious poems, poems for God or poems of faith, this book is for you. May it lead you to the One who loves you most!

Home by Uvi Poznansky (Uviart) 4.2 Stars (57 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again. Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father's work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half -- by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words. Zeev's writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi's writing is rarely so, especially when it comes to her prose. She is a storyteller who delights in conjuring up various figments of her imagination and fleshing them out on paper. She sees herself chasing her characters with a pen, in an attempt to see the world from their point of view, and to capture their voices. But in some of her poems, she offers you a rare glimpse into her most guarded, intensely private moments, yearning for Home. ????? "This radiant book is an exploration of the bond between a daughter and father and the book overflows with some of the most eloquent poetic moments in print. HOME is an invitation, a very personal one, and should not be passed over." Scroll up and get Home now!

Confessions Seldom Made : 28 Untold Admissions and Songs to Remember Them by Digjam Sarma (Notion Press) 4.3 Stars (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Confessions is a series of twenty-eight original, gritty, gnarly, joyous, melancholy, sometimes dark and sometimes eerie tales that have been condensed into poetry. They have been grouped into four sections, each reflecting a particular mood of nature. A book that tries to delve into uncharted islands of the human psyche, indulge yourself into a journey of forbidden feelings and desires, and their recreation into words- with some tea or red wine, and itsy-bitsy amount of serious reflection. The volume of the book has been kept purposefully small, so that emotions that come with them do not get too overwhelming, yet the beauty of the poems stay raw, pure and uncompromised.

The Raven (Illustrated) (Top Five Classics Book 14) by Edgar Allan Poe (Top Five Books) 4.6 Stars (1,504 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Edgar Allan Poe's THE RAVEN includes: ? All 25 illustrations by Gustave Doré for Harper & Brothers' 1884 edition ? An informative Introduction ? A detailed Biography of Edgar Allan Poe ? The illustrated version and text-only version of the full poem No poem has ever received the kind of immediate and overwhelming response that Poe's "The Raven" did when it first appeared in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845. It made Poe an overnight sensation (though his great fame never brought him much wealth) and the poem, a powerfully haunting elegy to lost love, remains one of the most beloved and recognizable verses in the English language. The illustrations that accompany this Top Five Classics edition are reproductions of the renowned French artist Gustave Doré's steel-plate engravings created for Harper & Brothers' 1884 release of THE RAVEN. It would be Doré's last commission as he died shortly after completing the 25 illustrations in January 1883. His illustrations would become famous in their own right, evoking as they do the lyrical and mystical air of Poe's masterpiece.
