The Language of Flowers
Author: Jane Holloway
Publisher: Everyman's Library
ISBN: 1101907959
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
A uniquely international anthology--in a beautiful pocket-sized hardcover--that explores the richly symbolic expressiveness of flowers through poems from around the world and through the ages. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET. Floral symbols adorn the earliest poetry, and over the centuries they became increasingly entwined with myth and legend, with religious symbolism, and with herbal folklore. By the early nineteenth century the "Language of Flora" was an elaborately refined system, especially in England and America, where books listing flower meanings and illustrating them with verse were perennial bestsellers. Transcending the charm of its Victorian predecessors, this anthology creates an extended, updated, and more robust floral anthology for the twenty-first century, presenting poets through the ages from Sappho, Shakespeare, and Shelley to Ted Hughes, Mary Oliver, and Louise Glück, and across the world from Cuba to Korea, Russia to Zimbabwe. Eastern cultures, rich in flower associations, are well represented: Tang poems celebrating chrysanthemums and peonies, Zen poems about orchids and lotus flowers, poems about jasmine and marigolds from India, and roses and narcissi from Persia, the Ottoman empire, and the Arabic world. The most timeless human emotions and concepts--love, hope, despair, fidelity, grief, beauty, and mortality--find colorful expression in The Language of Flowers.

Poems of the Aztec Peoples
Author: Edward Kissam
Publisher: Bilingual Review Press (AZ)
ISBN:
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This collection brings together in English translation some of the most outstanding pre-Columbian Nahuatl texts. Included are poems from the Texcoco poetry festivals, Aztec texts about the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and selections from Sahagún's ethnographic record of sacred songs to the gods. An appendix traces the poetic tradition into the present with selections from contemporary Otomi, Lacondon, and Huichol material. The collection takes the reader beyond the image of Tenochititlan as a monolithic Aztec society to give a sense of the richness and diversity of cultures in sixteenth-century Mexico. In these poems we discover many voices in Aztlán, all of them full of wonder at the mysteries of the world--the heart, the rain sweeping down from the mountains to nourish the corn, the sun, and the conflict between humans and nature.--Cover.
