Is My Rhyme My Reason?
Author: Donna AyersPublisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
"Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" "Would the world have been better or worse off if I hadn't been here?" Doubtless, I'm not the only one who's asked such questions. When I was really down, I even resented God for creating me, & prayed I wouldn't wake up the next morning! I reached out to God & friends through handwritten notes & poetry; that was the "safest" manner of expression. I can't think straight or verbally communicate effectively if I feel I'm being scrutinized; I'm sure I have company there too! So, at the request of friends, I'm publishing a sample of my writings. Don't worry, there's plenty of lighthearted subjects included too! I pray they will inspire, comfort, entertain & bless those who open these pages.

Book of Rhymes

Pages : 274
Book Description
If asked to list the greatest innovators of modern American poetry, few of us would think to include Jay-Z or Eminem in their number. And yet hip hop is the source of some of the most exciting developments in verse today. The media uproar in response to its controversial lyrical content has obscured hip hop's revolution of poetic craft and experience: Only in rap music can the beat of a song render poetic meter audible, allowing an MC's wordplay to move a club-full of eager listeners. Examining rap history's most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, literary scholar Adam Bradley argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. Book of Rhymes explores America's least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves.

A concordance to the rhymes of The Faerie Queene
Author: Richard Danson BrownPublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526158590
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser’s epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser’s rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes.
