The Magic Door
Author: Chris Torrance
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780993569340
Category : English poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. THE MAGIC DOOR is the long-awaited collected edition of Chris Torrance's life work. Gathering eight books originally published between 1973 and 1996, the collection makes available and rejuvenates the work of this unjustly neglected poet, an important figure in the British Poetry Revival. THE MAGIC DOOR is a cycle, a long poem with recurring themes and images, although each volume has its own particular focus, ranging across alchemy, geology, history, myth and legend. For nearly 50 years, Torrance's territory has been the Upper Neath Valley. Having grown up just south of London and worked in the legal profession, he chose instead the borderland of industrial South Wales and a locally renowned beauty spot: "An early Christian hermit's sacred stretch of river." Torrance's dedication to his craft and to his natural surroundings form a unique record of the poet's own consciousness and of his place, aware that "The old ways disappear from the map." Through its own alchemy of form, research, imagination and intelligence, THE MAGIC DOOR is an investigation into time and space, and the position of the individual in such wider concerns. "The time is long overdue to celebrate the integrity of Chris Torrance's questing and night-haunted genius: the effortless precision of the farmer's almanac, those rescued terms from alchemy and geology. And that lovely, reckless, free-flowing spill of self, as the transported poet exchanges youthful London atoms with his chosen Welsh ground. The revealed Magic Door sequence is a delirious epic of witness."--Iain Sinclair

The Sign on Rosie's Door
Author: Maurice Sendak
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0060287950
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
There was a sign on Rosie's door that said, "If you want to know a secret, knock three times." Kathy, Rosie's good friend, knocked three times and learned the secret-that Rosie was no longer Rosie, but Alinda, the lovely lady singer. Adventures with Alinda were fun for Kathy and Sal and Pudgy and Dolly. Even Lenny, who occasionally didn't believe in Alinda, was delighted by the Fourth of July celebration that Alinda, with the help of the Magic Man, held. At the end of the celebration, Alinda was gone forever, and Rosie had returned, but she soon found something else nice to be. Maurice Sendak, the well-known artist and author-illustrator of Kenny's Window and Very Far Away, has written a story of real children, playing as only children know how. Young readers will wish that Alinda lived next door to them.
