DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Cambridge Companion to Eighteenth-Century Poetry analyzes major premises, preoccupations, and practices of English poets writing from 1700 to the 1790s. These specially-commissioned essays avoid familiar categories and single-author approaches to look at the century afresh. Chapters consider such large poetic themes as nature, the city, political passions, the relation of death to desire and dreams, appeals to an imagined future, and the meanings of 'sensibility'. Other chapters explore historical developments such as the connection between poetic couplets and conversation, the conditions of publication, changing theories of poetry and imagination, growing numbers of women poets and readers, the rise of a self-consciously national tradition, and the place of lyric poetry in thought and practice. The essays are well supported by supplementary material including a chronology of the period and detailed guides to further reading. Altogether the volume provides an invaluable resource for scholars and students.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI Speak of the City is the most extensive collection of poems ever assembled about New York. Beginning with an early piece by Jacob Steendam (from when the city was called New Amsterdam) and continuing through poems written in the aftermath of 9/11, this anthology features voices from more than a dozen countries. It includes two Nobel Prize recipients, fifteen Pulitzer Prize winners, and many other recognizable names, but it also preserves the work of long-neglected poets who celebrate the wild possibilities and colossal achievements of this epic city. Poets capture New York's major moments and transformations, writing of Hudson's arrival, Stuyvesant's prejudice, and the city's astonishing growth and gentrification. They speak of the thrills of a skyscraper's observation deck and the privations of teeming tenements. They portray the immigrant experience at Ellis Island and the decay, fear, and unexpected kindness on a subway ride. They take place on sidewalks, bridges, and docks; in taxis, buses, and ferries; and even within nature. The Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, and other familiar landmarks are recast through the prism of individual experience yet still reflect the seeming invincibility of New York and its status as a cultural magnet for the freethinking and experimental. While certain subjects and themes can be found in all urban verse, poems about New York have their own restless rhythm and ever-changing style, much like the city itself. Whether writing sonnets, epics, or experimental or imagistic verse, each of these poets has been inspired by the marvels and madness, humor and heartbreak of an enduring city.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“[A] wide-ranging, fascinating series of poems that [has] the city as character at its center, the city as a collective soul, the city as idea.” —Sycamore Review A William Carlos Williams Award Finalist A Kansas City Star Top Book of the Year A Library Journal Top Winter Poetry Pick A series of semi-mythologized, symbolic narratives interspersed with dramatic monologues, the poems collected in The City, Our City showcase the voice of a young poet striking out, dramatically, emphatically, to stake his claim on “the City.” It is an unnamed, crowded place where the human questions and observations found in almost any city—past, present, and future—ring out with urgency. These poems—in turn elegiac, celebratory, haunting, grave, and joyful—give hum to our modern experience, to those caught up in the City’s immensity, and announce the arrival of a major new contemporary poet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPoetry. Taking as its instigation Charles Olson's "Poem 143--the Festival Aspect," Michael Boughn's CITY attempts to navigate the visionary registers that animate the city and its moods. A long poem in three books, each book is set up to explore a different dimension of the city. Combining observations and commentary on current affairs with references to and considerations of traditional texts by Dante, Augustine, Fra Carnevale, Weber, Bachelard, Whitehead, Benjamin, Agamben, and a host of others, CITY weaves multiple threads together into a tapestry of urban experience that is always both here and beyond. BOOK I: SINGULAR ASSUMPTIONS moves through the depths of the city's incarnation, mapping the often obstinate resistance to any further amplification of the city's possibilities that jams it up like rush hour on the 401. Boughn is well known for his subtle and intelligent writing, and readers familiar with his prolific career will find new and exciting perspectives in and on the city. "SINGULAR ASSUMPTIONS (CITY BOOK 1) takes a bite out of the holism apple to spit that dapple, and sows articulations of wiggle in the densest gridlocks of rigid city posturing. Within monoculture's manifest of maintained malnourishment Boughn sings for the potentials of life's flourish with soaring ripostes, the bittersweet paradox of rigour for jazz, and a congenial shrugging cheers of 'Here we go again.' This book is a friend, friend."--David Peter Clark "Mike Boughn speaks as a combatant, always, when the other side is too dumb or busy to recognize the fact that there is war between every line written in submission to spectacular waves emanating from the next MLA convention that would bootstrap errant pilgrims into 'gravy free enterprise / of incarnate logos saturated // dispensation's spiritualized / saving accounts,' where hips are checked by each patrolling iambic foot if they aren't still. Take care, this book is signed by a barbarian: he has a history of being overlooked, say sources."--Oliver Cusimano "Michael Boughn's CITY is not about his hometown gridlock; although it might contain veiled references to a crackhead boozehound chief magistrate, it's more explicit in its celebration of the urban as a pumping heart with architecture."--Victor Coleman
