DOWNLOAD EBOOKInspired Poems is exactly what the title states. Every poem has been inspired by a person, a place, or a special need for a card. It has never been easy for me to just sit down and make up a poem. However, when the inspiration is there, the words flow. I have written poems for most of my adult life. They were shared and enjoyed by the people who wanted or needed them and then just thrown away. For this book, I have chosen poems about everyday life and things that happen to all of us: car repair, finances, a trip to the grocery store, etc. Without the help of my wife, Susan, this book would have never been. She insisted that I start keeping my work. She also suggested that we do our own Christmas cards each year, thus the collection of Christmas poems in the last part of the book. As we traveled through life, she suggested that maybe a book was possible. I didn't think so, but she prevailed and Inspired Poems came about. She has done much for this project, including the technical work, a little goading and so forth. For these reasons I have dedicated this book to my wife, Susan. Sincerely, Glenn Thrush

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the Introduction: Just words of course, all just so many words. But words strung slyly, judiciously, and always lovingly one after the other in due order and in such a way as to entertain, sometimes astonish, and, the poet hopes, occasionally enlighten the literate, or even otherwise, reader; all cast in diverse poetical schemes ranging from the formal classical pentameter of Milton or Tennyson to unformed lines to satisfy even the postiest of moderns; but in fact most of the lines herein actually - can it be? - scan, and many - oh no! - even rhyme, sometimes obviously, sometimes merely hinted at in surprising ways, recalling Wallace Stevens's remark that "one writes poetry out of a delight in the harmonious and orderly"; one will find here blank verse, heroic couplets, a touch of ottava rima, numerous sonnets of various styles, even, just for fun, a limerick and a finicky double dactyl; also some rowdy cowboy poetry and other diverse schemes nearly as numerous as the pages herein.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMulti-award-winning poet Don McKay returns with a startling collection of new poems, his first since his Griffin Poetry Prize winning book, Strike/Slip Don McKay is known, among other things, as Canada's foremost poet of the natural world. Readers have come to expect a playful extravagance in his poetry. Most recently, he has opened himself to the mysteries of geologic wonder. "Who needs ghosts when matter /nonchalantly haunts us," he writes. In his new book, perhaps his most stunning yet, it's fossils and deep time that provide the awe. The landscape of Newfoundland has taken his linguistic virtuosity even further, sharpened his wit, and given him a lyric energy that sometimes feels as if he's lifting the planet into song.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a book that takes on the “hard questions” about the role of poets in society together with the challenges of reading “difficult” poetry. Using the relaxed format of the personal interview, Butling and Rudy open doors to some of the most challenging and important poetry of the 1990s. Robert Kroetsch talks about his dread of systems and his subversive use of sub-literary forms. Erin Mouré and Daphne Marlatt discuss the feminist trajectories in their work—how to jump circuits and activate alternative networks. Dionne Brand links her poetics to Marxist politics and Pan-African liberation movements. Annharte explains her use of humour to de-program Native people. Jeff Derksen wants to disarticulate and rearticulate linguistic and social systems, while Fred Wah emphasizes the role of poetry in changing how we see the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first ethnographic study of Snowbird, North Carolina, a remote mountain community of Cherokees who are regarded as simultaneously the most traditional and the most adaptive members of the entire tribe. Through historical research, contemporary fieldwork, and situational analysis, Sharlotte Neely explains the Snowbird paradox and portrays the inhabitants' daily lives and culture. At the core of her study are detailed examinations of two expressions of Snowbird's cultural self-awareness--its ongoing struggle for fair political representation on the tribal council and its yearly Trail of Tears Singing, a gathering point for all North Carolina and Oklahoma Cherokees concerned with cultural conservation.
