Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Dominique Renda and Blake Horsleys Midnight Daydreams invites the reader on a journey through breathtaking and heartfelt landscapes of lives both recognizable and unforeseen. The authors candid poetic portraits offer compelling characters, and represent a deep slice of life, crystallizing moments, realizations, and dreams lost and found. Witty, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these poems affirm our humanity and rouse our spirit. Tales of a mothers feelings for her children, undying and impossible to suppress, a sons independent voice, a spry womans inquisitive perspective on time, an exhausted mans effort to reclaim it, veterans of war and adjustments, explorations of values and redemption, and the insight and passion of a creative life. Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley engage the reader in a conscious exploration of characters and poetic stories that bring us home. Transportive poetry. A moving collection. Truth and wonder artistically expressed in each characters authentic voice. Neal Menschel, Poet, Photojournalist A certain shared perspective. Is this commonality based in blood, in experience, in poetic sensibility? I find pondering these links and shadows enrich the overall effect of the work: each poem revealing both something about the subject as an individual and often as a part of a family, unique, yet related.

A Dream Within a Dream
Author: Edgar Allan PoePublisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof
ISBN: 8726587041
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 2
Book Description
An example of Poe’s melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet’s own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker’s ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet contemplation of the speaker is contrasted with thunderous passing of time that waits for no man. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).

A midsummer day's dream, a poem
Author: Edwin AtherstoneThe Wandering Mind
Author: Michael C. CorballisPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022623861X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Corballis argues that mind-wandering has many constructive and adaptive features. These range from mental time travel?the wandering back and forth through time, not only to plan our futures based on past experience, but also to generate a continuous sense of who we are--to the ability to inhabit the minds of others, increasing empathy and social understanding. Through mind-wandering, we invent, tell stories, and expand our mental horizons. Mind wandering , hardly the sign of a faulty network or aimless distraction, actually underwrites creativity, whether as a Wordsworth wandering lonely as a cloud, or an Einstein imagining himself travelling on a beam of light. Corballis takes readers on a mental journey in chapters that can be savored piecemeal, as the minds of readers wander in different ways, and sometimes have limited attentional capacity.
