On the Laws of the Poetic Art
Author: Anthony HechtPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691252815
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
A magisterial exploration of poetry’s place in the fine arts by one of the twentieth century's leading poets In this book, eminent poet Anthony Hecht explores the art of poetry and its relationship to the other fine arts. While the problems he treats entail both philosophic and theoretical discussion, he never allows abstract speculation to overshadow his delight in the written texts that he introduces, or in the specific examples of painting and music to which he refers. After discussing literature’s links with painting and music, Hecht investigates the theme of paradise and wilderness, especially in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. He then turns to the question of public and private art, exploring the ways in which all the arts participate in balances between private and public modes of discourse, and between an exclusive or elitist role and the openly political. Beginning with a discussion of architecture as an illustration of a more general theme of discord and balance, the penultimate lecture probes the inner contradictions of works of art and our reactions to them, while the final piece concerns art and morality.

Pages : 433
Book Description
In 1952 and 1953 as he wandered around America, Jack Kerouac jotted down spontaneous prose poems, or "sketches" as he called them, on small notebooks that he kept in his shirt pockets. The poems recount his travels—New York, North Carolina, Lowell (Massachusetts, Kerouac’s birthplace), San Francisco, Denver, Kansas, Mexico—observations, and meditations on art and life. The poems are often strung together so that over the course of several of them, a little story—or travelogue—appears, complete in itself. Published for the first time, Book of Sketches offers a luminous, intimate, and transcendental glimpse of one of the most original voices of the twentieth century at a key time in his literary and spiritual development.

Book Description
More than seven decades have passed since Ben Burroughs' poetry first appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper. The impact of his talent-completely lacking as it is pretentiousness- has been so great that today his daily “SKETCHES” appears in sixty-eight newspapers and is followed my millions of readers throughout the world. How can one account for such a phenomenon? The explanation lies in the very nature of Burroughs' verse, for he is truly a poet of the people, a disciple of sincerity, one who can capture the magical moments that imbue us all with a deepened insight into life's mysteries. Through his warm. Perceptive understanding, the beauty and grandeur of daily living are reveled. This is not a poet who hides his meanings and demands we seek them out. Rather in words that are so eloquent in their simplicity and graceful in their flow, he presents to us “emotional recollected in tranquility.” Wordsworth tells us this is the true definition of poetry. What of a poet himself? What manner of a man is he? Humility is perhaps the dominant virtue characterizing Burroughs' creative efforts. Modest in the light of his success, he is appreciated that he has been blessed with the talent that enables him to erase some of the drabness that is common in daily living. No ivory tower recluse, he follows the tradition of art that draws its sustenance from the life as it is lived by the many.
